In this poignant episode, Tom reflects on the life and struggles of PGA golfer Grayson Murray, who tragically took his own life. He discusses the pressures inherent in the sports industry and the silent battles athletes often face with alcohol abuse and mental health issues. Grayson's story is a somber reminder that people from all walks of life can struggle with addiction and mental health challenges.
As he navigates this difficult topic, Tom turns to Philippians 4:6-7 for comfort: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
