What if everything you thought made you strong—your beliefs, your community, even your identity—suddenly became the very things holding you back? Dominic lived that question when choosing love meant losing his tribe, his home, and the only version of faith he had ever known. What followed was a decade-long deconstruction and reconstruction—through trauma, spiritual exile, and radical courage.

This conversation pulls back the curtain on one man’s darkest moment and the quiet grit that carried him through. From sleeping on chapel floors to leading a movement of Catholic men toward healing and brotherhood, Dominic’s story is raw, real, and relentlessly human. If you’ve ever wrestled with who you are, what you believe, or how to keep going when everything falls apart, this episode offers a glimpse into the kind of heroism that doesn’t come with applause—but might just change your life.
