Hi there, and welcome to The Basement Podcast. I'm your host, Chad Masters, a married father of three littles just trying to figure life out. This podcast is about showing up.
0:10
Showing up for your family, showing up for your God-given mission, and showing up for yourself.
0:16
This podcast won't exclusively talk about faith or family or fitness or career or any other one topic that we are trying to navigate.
0:24
I'm going to talk about how they all integrate with each other and how each area of your life either feeds the others or drains them. For better or for worse, they're all connected.
0:36
I'll be documenting my journey from getting my head above water, creating vision for my life, and pursuing my mission relentlessly. But before we get there, we have to start with where I am, in my basement.
0:50
Last year was the hardest year of my life. So much pressure, so many expectations, setbacks, and failures.
0:57
There were moments where I felt helpless and hopeless, and other moments where, to be transparent with you, I didn't wanna feel anything anymore, if you can read between the lines. But I slowly started to pick myself up.
1:11
I found myself waking up at two AM, coming down to the lowest point of my house, and find space to work on myself. No one saw it, no one clapped, no high fives, just me against whatever we as a family were facing.
1:28
And I came to realize that the rock bottom I hit became the solid foundation for what God is doing in this season. That solid ground was my basement.
1:39
Episodes are coming soon, so subscribe wherever you get your podcasts or over on the Chad the Dad YouTube channel linked in the description. And until then, I'll see you in the basement in a totally non-weird way.
