Who can you trust when everything goes wrong? Two lifelong friends - Steve Alessi and David Martinez - share how real friendships can help you overcome your toughest moments.
Who would you turn to... if you lost everything?
And what if the person you needed was going through a disaster of their own?
In this powerful episode, you'll discover how real friends can help you bounce back from the most devastating moments of your life - even when you both are going through them at the same time.
Host Steve Alessi welcomes his lifelong friend David Martinez, one of the founding members of Metro Life Church who was instrumental in helping Steve recover from his heart attack in 2007.
Meanwhile, David was still reeling from the news that the company he had worked for years to build had been taken over by a hostile corporation.
In this inspiring episode, you'll see these two men share their vulnerabilities, fears and process as they helped each other recover from each other's "Forty-Two moment", and unearth the keys to cultivating authentic friendships, whether in calm or crisis.
