Today I’m joined by one of my best friends in the entire world — Reid Haddock. If you know Reid, you know he’s one of the most passionate, genuine, and loyal people out there. He’s also — without question — the biggest East Carolina baseball fan to ever live. Pirate Nation runs through his blood, and he reps it with pride. But beyond his love for the game, Reid lives with a heart that’s anchored in faith, and that’s what made this conversation so special.

Reid knew who I was before I knew who he was when he formed a friendship with my good friend Zach Agnos. What I didn’t know at the time was how much Reid and his family would mean to me down the road. The Haddock family has played such an impactful role in my life, not just through my time at ECU but also spiritually. I had Reid’s dad on as a guest in an earlier episode where we talked about the small group that we are both apart of. I am truly blessed to know and to love the Haddock family!

In this episode we talked a lot about Reid’s verse of the week which came from Matthew 7:12, “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” Reid talked a lot about the golden rule, explaining that a big part of the way he lives his life is so that others can reciprocate it back towards him. Showing the Lord’s love for others, letting His light shine, and changing the world one conversation or encounter at a time.

We also hit on the power of prayer, how the Haddock family incorporates it in their household, and why turning to our Heavenly Father is perhaps the most important thing we can do each day.

I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed doing it. I got a special place in my heart for my guy Reid Haddock!
