God Wasn't Finished With Me: Gratitude, Giants and Second Chances
Episode Overview
- Gratitude can exist alongside pain by focusing on what was learned and who was gained, rather than the suffering itself.
- Surviving a suicide attempt led Rob to see that his story wasn’t over and that life still held unexpected love and purpose.
- Stephanie’s love helped him recognise his worth, but he stresses that personal value is inherent and not dependent on another person.
- The David and Goliath story illustrates that giants are faced through faith, action and support, not by pretending they disappear.
- Reaching out for support during deep emotional pain is presented as an act of courage, and supporting others can be as simple as listening and standing by them.
“The worst chapter of my life wasn't the last chapter.”
What can we learn from the battles that almost broke us? This heartfelt solo episode from Fight Like David sees Cowbell Rob sharing a deeply honest chapter of his life, aimed at anyone facing their own giants, especially around depression, anxiety and broken relationships. Rob talks openly about the collapse of his marriage, intense emotional pain, and a suicide attempt, explaining why he now says, "I'm not thankful I reached that point of despair.
I'm thankful I lived to discover that there was more ahead of me than I could see at that time." His story sits firmly at the crossroads of faith, mental health, and second chances. You'll hear how meeting his wife Stephanie helped him recognise, "I matter," while also realising his worth was there long before she entered his life.
He reflects on the love of Heavenly Father, asking what it means if God knows every fear, mistake and hidden battle yet still loves each person completely. Rob ties his journey to the story of David and Goliath, stressing that God didn’t simply remove the giant; David still had to step onto the battlefield. That picture becomes a powerful metaphor for recovery: faith, support and courage working together rather than pretending everything is fine.
He also shares how a simple phone call from his friend Brock Bevell turned into the Fight Like David podcast, giving him a new way to serve others by hearing and sharing stories of addiction, grief, faith and resilience.
Through it all, he reminds anyone struggling that asking for help is strength, not weakness, and that, "The worst chapter of my life wasn't the last chapter." If you’re facing your own giant, this episode gently asks: could there be more ahead of you than you can see right now?
