I've visited Rome several times.

Amanda and I had even experienced this incredible city together before.

But this trip was completely different.

For the first time, I wasn't experiencing Rome for myself—I was watching my children experience it for the very first time.

That changed everything.

In this episode of Summit After the Storm, I share how walking through the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the ancient streets of Rome with my family reminded me that sometimes the greatest adventures aren't about discovering new places—they're about rediscovering familiar ones with fresh eyes.

In this episode:

• Why Rome felt brand new even though I'd been there before
• What my children taught me about wonder
• Why curiosity is one of a leader's greatest strengths
• The connection between Rome and Mount Kilimanjaro
• Matthew 18 and seeing life with childlike faith
• How to rediscover wonder in your everyday life

Whether you're a parent, a leader, a traveler, or someone who has allowed routine to replace curiosity, I hope this episode reminds you that sometimes the destination hasn't changed...

You have.

Season 4 of Summit After the Storm follows our family's journey across Italy, Greece, the Netherlands, France, and England—discovering timeless lessons from history, culture, faith, leadership, and family. Every destination has a story. Every story has a lesson.

The world is full of lessons. Sometimes you just have to travel far enough—or slow down enough—to discover them.

Keep climbing.

Pole pole.
