121 - Imperfect Inspiration: The People Who Shape Us
On a dark, rainy drive, Ridge and Shelby dig deep into a conversation about inspiration and imperfection. Who are the people who truly shape us — and do they have to be perfect to do it?
For Shelby, inspiration comes from a collection of mentors gathered through life’s seasons — not saints, but real people with flaws and wisdom. Ridge reflects on someone close to him who’s faced real struggles and still stands strong, proving that resilience might be the most inspiring quality of all.
The two also dive into the messy, beautiful side of parenting — how sometimes a good parent quietly shields their kids from the other parent’s faults, all while preserving that parent’s dignity.
It’s a thoughtful ride through rain, reflection, and the realization that even imperfect people can light the way.
