What a joy it is to introduce you to our next guest, Patrick Risk.

Patrick is the Author of One Day at a Time: Daily hope for those navigating their own path of healing. He endeavors each day to live and breathe HOPE in all that he does—from managing his Facebook communities "Brightness of Hope” and “Worldwide Unified,” to sharing daily messages of inspiration that are followed and shared by hundreds of thousands each week, including myself.

Patrick also volunteers in various capacities as a Chaplain and Spiritual Care Advisor. He has a great passion for improving the world around him and strives one day at a time to live the mantra of “being the change you wish to see in the world.” Patrick’s advocacy for hope was born out of his experiences in facing and overcoming great adversity in his life. Surviving years of sexual abuse as a child, overcoming a near-fatal eating disorder, and battling suicidal ideation from identity issues have all prepared him to be the fighter for hope that he is today.

Never giving up, always fighting forward, Patrick was just 20 years old when he received his undergraduate degree from the University of Northern Colorado. At the age of 24, he received his Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Utah. At the age of 25, he was certified as a Chaplain from the World Spiritual Health Organization.

I first started seeing his posts on Worldwide Unified on Facebook and was moved by his vulnerability and positivity that I started following him. I wasn’t sure if he would even see my message, but I loved his posts so much that I thought it would be worth the effort to ask him if he would be willing to be a guest on our podcast.
He responded with a yes within the hour.

It was a true honor to talk with him and hear a part of his tremendous story of hope, faith, and love.
Thank you again for joining us, Patrick, and thank you for being such a beautiful light in this world.
