What would you do if your child came to you and said they wanted to end their life? For today's guest, that heartbreaking moment came out of nowhere, and it turned his entire world upside down. But instead of crumbling, Rob reached for something familiar: The Miracle Morning. What started as a productivity tool became his lifeline. And ultimately, it helped him show up for his son in the way he needed most.

Rob Stein is a purpose-driven leader, coach, and founder of Fathers in Christ and Elevate YOUniversity. He's also a beloved presence in the Miracle Morning Community, where his daily FB posts consistently offer honesty, vulnerability, and value. Rob's mission is to equip high-performing men to lead with faith, live with integrity, and build legacies rooted in love and resilience.

In this emotional and powerful episode, Rob opens up about the darkest season of his life—when his teenage son admitted to having suicidal thoughts, and later attempted to take his life. Rob walks us through the pain, the fear, and thankfully, the healing that took place through his unwavering faith and the stabilizing force of the Miracle Morning.

We also dive into the healing powers of journaling and the role that spiritual growth and acceptance played in his journey, and how parents can support their kids and loved ones through their own mental health struggles.
