Ascend: Week 2 - Daily Prayer / Pastor Jeff Bowman by Hope City Church

In this powerful episode of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up The Mess, host Nick Barnett welcomes Quovadis Marshall, affectionately known as Pastor Q, the Pastor of Hope City Church in Waterloo, Iowa, and the author of the life-changing book Fighting for Love: Fighting for Life, Love, and All That Matters. https://www.fightingforlove.us   This conversation delves deep into Pastor Q's remarkable story—a journey from brokenness to redemption. Raised in a home marked by poverty, chaos, and broken relationships, Pastor Q sought belonging in all the wrong places. From gang life to a robbery at age 19 that led to over seven years in prison, his journey is a testament to the transformative power of God's grace and intentionality.   Pastor Q shares how a single moment changed his life forever—the day God knocked on his door—literally—and set him on a path toward healing, restoration, and a renewed purpose. Through candid storytelling, he opens up about his “BC days” (before Christ): a time defined by anger, selfishness, and dysfunction, especially in his marriage. With vulnerability and wisdom, Pastor Q and Nick unpack the lessons that helped him rebuild trust, embrace his role as a leader, and fight for what truly matters—his family, his faith, and his legacy.   Key Takeaways from This Episode: • Building Strong Marriages: Insights from Fighting for Love on how to fight for your spouse, not against them, and how conflict can serve as a tool for intimacy and growth. • Breaking Generational Cycles: Replacing unhealthy family patterns with love, trust, and a purpose rooted in faith. • Fatherhood and Leadership: Why embracing vulnerability and accountability is essential for leading your family with integrity. • Faith as the Foundation: The life-changing power of God's grace in rewriting even the most broken stories.   This episode offers more than inspiration—it's packed with practical advice and biblical wisdom for anyone looking to strengthen their relationships, lead their families, and build a legacy rooted in love and faith.   Nick and Pastor Q challenge listeners to step into their calling, drop the pride, and begin actively fighting for love in their marriages, families, and personal growth. Whether you're seeking encouragement, wisdom, or a fresh perspective on what it means to fight for what matters most, this episode will leave you inspired and equipped.   Fighting For Love Book: https://www.fightingforlove.us   Fighting For Love on Amazon: https://a.co/d/0zSMkzR    Website: https://www.domesticdadproject.com    YouTube: www.youtube.com/@DomesticDadProject   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DOMESTICDADPROJECT   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/the_domestic_dad_project
