From battalion chief to world champion disc golfer to international course designer, Paul Wright's journey is anything but ordinary. In this episode, Paul shares how God healed him of cystic fibrosis as a toddler, gave him a dream that launched his firefighting career at 32, and then used his love of disc golf to serve communities across Africa, Central America, and beyond through the Paul McBeth Foundation. We explore what it means to shift from pursuing money to pursuing purpose, how retirement can become the richest season of faith, and why sometimes the most effective ministry happens when you're just teaching kids in Uganda how to throw a Frisbee while dodging monkeys and giraffes.
