239 What Matters Most with My Oldest Brother Marty Gorkow

In this month’s guest episode, Julie sits down with someone who has impacted her life from the very beginning — her oldest brother, Marty Gorkow. This conversation is personal, heartfelt, and grounded in real life. Marty shares stories from childhood, reflections on adoption, and what it’s meant to grow up knowing he was chosen and deeply loved. He talks about marriage, raising three daughters, and the values that matter most to him — faith, family, kindness, and treating others with respect. But this episode also goes deeper. Marty opens up about walking through prostate cancer, radiation treatments, and a recent unexpected seizure that has temporarily altered his daily life. Through it all, his message is steady and simple: stay positive, rely on others, and trust that it’s God’s plan — not ours. He shares how faith has anchored him in difficult seasons and how gratitude for “one more day” has become a daily practice. You’ll hear wisdom about: --The power of family and consistency --Learning to accept help --Growing stronger through hardship --Letting trials make you better, not bitter --Trusting God’s will over your own This episode is a reminder that strength doesn’t always look loud or flashy. Sometimes it looks steady. Sometimes it looks like showing up. Sometimes it looks like quiet faithfulness in hard seasons. If life hasn’t gone the way you expected, this conversation will encourage your heart. You are not alone. God is with you. And He is still at work in your story.
