Episode: 2025.11.22The Living Full Out Show with Nancy Solari explores how choosing to serve others can lead to lasting purpose and personal healing. Whether it is through mentorship, advocacy, or simply offering your time, acts of service have the power to transform your life and the lives of others Maybe you've been focused on your own challenges and feel disconnected from your sense of direction. Perhaps you're looking for a deeper way to show up in the world. Join Nancy as she shares how When You Prioritize Serving Others, You Will Be Filled with Purpose and Live Full Out. Ultimately, proving how embracing your unique gifts can open unexpected doors and turn painful moments into meaningful impact. Our first caller, Alexander, a student in a school counseling program, asks how to instill empathy in those he counsels. Nancy encourages him to deepen his understanding of real-life challenges such as disability, grief, and trauma, so he can become a more effective and compassionate counselor. She emphasizes the value of listening, guiding others with relatable examples such as her own, in order to help others uncover their own strength. Tune in to hear how showing up with empathy can spark hope and healing. Our inspirational guest Dave Crete reveals how Serving Others became his greatest calling. After working in a classified military zone, Dave developed health issues that were later echoed by his fellow veterans—and even their children. What started as a private search for answers led to the discovery of long-buried truths about toxic exposure. Dave turned that pain into purpose by founding The Invisible Enemy Foundation, advocating for veterans who were unknowingly put at risk. Tune in to hear how Dave's journey from silence to advocacy is helping bring justice to those still fighting invisible battles. Perhaps you're unsure of your next step or feeling disconnected from your purpose. Try leaning into what moves you. Whether it's listening, giving, or standing up for others. Remember, when you lead with service, you uplift the world around you and find clarity and strength within yourself. That is what it truly means to live full out.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/living-full-out-show--1474350/support.
Purpose is a factor of life that every man knows will improve his quality of life. Unfortunately, we seem to be in an era when purpose is increasingly abysmal in the lives of too many men. Men in all walks and stages of life are floundering around aimlessly, wondering why they're anxious, depressed, and alone. My guest today, Garrett Unclebach, former Navy SEAL, is a man who is intimately familiar with why and how purpose drives men to step up, take charge of their lives, and succeed. We unpack why a man must look beyond himself, how surrendering in certain circumstances could lead you to an incredible place you've never considered, the power of equanimity and how to cultivate it, why being faithful when you have nothing leads to a life of prosperity and abundance, and how to judge what you should be doing and who you should be doing it with.

We read in Matthew 25:35-40, that when we serve those in need we are serving Jesus. Jesus said, "as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me." Our Lord commands us to help and serve those who are in need around us. It's a command we take seriously here at Love In Action Ministries. It's a command for all believers. We need to take a personal survey and see if we are obeying Jesus. Not just with this command, but with all of His commands. His commands are not burdensome (1 John 5:3).

Today, on Karl and Crew, we discussed the importance of helping and serving our brothers and sisters in need. As followers of Christ, we are called to be the hands and feet in God’s mission, and part of that mission is to help and love one another. We turn to Matthew 25:35-40, in which Jesus affirms that serving others is how we ultimately serve Him. Also, in Ephesians 2:10 (NKJV), we are told that we are designed for good works that were prepared by Him. Have you been a servant to others or a servant to yourself? Our special guest, Brandon Stiver, shared his experience serving orphans internationally. Brandon is a leader in global care for children, a professor, and a podcaster, and he has vast experience leading nonprofits based in the U.S. and Tanzania. He is the Principal and Chief Community Builder at Canopy International, a community of nonprofit professionals, missionaries, and leaders worldwide.
