Alpha Dad Nation, this episode of the Ben Barker Fitness Podcast is powerful. I sit down in the garage gym with my friend Matt Ferrell—real estate agent, CrossFit coach, husband, and father. At just 29 years old, Matt was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma only three weeks after his son was born.
In this raw conversation, Matt shares:
How his faith anchored him through nine months of chemo
The role of his wife, men’s group, and community in the fight
Why men can’t afford to live like “lone wolves”
The importance of surrounding yourself with men who sharpen you in faith, family, and fitness
Matt’s story is about resilience, faith in the fire, and fighting for your family. If you’re a dad, this is one you don’t want to miss.
