In this episode of the Next Level Freedom Podcast, host Ray Mertens welcomes his close friend and fellow warrior, Lindsay Levesque. With a rich history together, including their time in Warrior, led by Garrett J. White, Ray and Lindsay dive deep into the topic of work-life balance and share how their faith has shaped their approach to managing the pressures of life. Ray and Lindsay discuss their shared journey, their connection through mutual friends, and the personal lessons they’ve learned about balancing the demands of being a provider, protector, and family man.

Lindsay, a devoted husband and father, opens up about the struggles he faces as he tries to balance work, family life, and personal growth. He reflects on the common challenges many men encounter, such as the vicious cycle of working hard to provide for the family, yet missing out on time with loved ones. He and Ray explore the concept of creating meaningful family experiences and carving out moments for rest, even when life feels overwhelming.

Throughout the episode, Lindsay also shares the powerful role his faith plays in maintaining balance. He emphasizes the importance of relying on the Holy Spirit for guidance, describing how his walk with God has become his personal source of counseling and strength. They also tease the upcoming release of Lindsay’s e-book, which focuses on the Kingdom of God, a central theme in his spiritual journey. The conversation delves into how many men stop at salvation and don’t fully embrace living within the Kingdom, a place where true freedom and growth in all areas—faith, finances, fitness, family, and fun—can be found.

Listeners will be inspired by the candid conversation between Ray and Lindsay, filled with humor, real-life struggles, and insights on how to take life and faith to the next level. Whether you’re seeking guidance on work-life balance or looking to deepen your spiritual walk, this episode provides practical advice and encouragement.
