*TRIGGER WARNING*They say the Lord works in mysterious ways. Sometimes we have an idea of what our life should be, but it goes completely different. Sometimes we cry out in pain and are met with silence, only to go through a personal journey so intense and profound, you will be a completely different person on the other side. Hello again guys, to another episode of Ordinary People, Extraordinary Stories. Today we talk to my main man, Mr. Dee Code. Dee code is special not only because he is an artist but because he is a strong, loving man. Today we talk about his story, from the depths of his sorrow to his release from depression through his art, Dee Code is the living testament to the human spirit and why we all deserve second chances. *TRIGGER WARNING* this episode deals with the topic of self-termination. It's a hard topic, its a sad topic, but it is a topic nonetheless people deal with. Yet again I will ask to please listen to the episode in spite of the hard topic, and check out my man's soundcloud profile, to see his other music.Dee's Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/l-dee-codeFind us on other platforms here: ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/opespodcastSupport us on Patreon.com/opespodcast

Good morning and thanks for checking out another episode of Ordinary People, Extraordinary Stories. What with today being memorial day, I felt it appropriate to have our next episode be released today. Meet Jared Laskey, veteran/author/pastor the man does it all. But what is truly remarkable about his story is his journey of healing. You see Jared was over in Iraq/Afghanistan where he saw some heavy combat, and came back much worse for wear. However it was with the Holy Spirit, my man here was not only able to be healed from this pain (and be free from the various medications that were making his life numb), but also able to go back and minister to the very same country that took so much from him. I cannot stress enough the importance of this episode. As the real sacrifices it takes from men and women that serve this country, we so often take for granted. Check out his website below to find out more about him and the ministries he is involved with.

Hello everyone who actually ends up reading this. Today's episode is about my good friend Zach Van Dyck, a Sacramento musician who has had the chance to perform with Trace Cyrus and even open for Drake Bell (that didn't age well). He's a wonderful person who was transparent enough to talk about the hard life of an artist, and the struggles we all face: addiction, inspiration, real life, etc. So if any of this sounds interesting to you or you are looking for some new music that covers the entire emotional spectrum, be sure to check out my guy Zach Van Dyck, on most of your music platforms (including here on Spotify {or where ever else you're listening to this podcast to lol}). He even has a new song that dropped called "dinero", it was the song I was humming to in the beginning.

Hey guys! Your Host with the most here, bringing you a bit different of an episode today. In spite of the holiday, national cold brew/high five day, a close friend and I banter between life's hard subjects. Soprano's, Jesus, and Ronnie J all get brought up here. Also if the raunchy humor isn't something you enjoy, may advise to stay away from this one.

Merry Holidays everyone! I know we're a little early to be talking about Christmas and all, but half the country is snowing and the other half has disaster weather reportings so.... close enough lol Today's episode is about a good friend Russell, who I met while he was on a job. He is a professional Santa, and we talk all about what that entails. He also shares some of his personal favorite stories about being Santa, and why believing is still important to do. Get your insulin ready because this is going to be a sweat episode!

Long time, no listen ehhh folks? Get your textbooks open and your pens ready, because we got a lesson in history today, black history. In honor of black history month, I am posting a very nice interview with a friend of mine, who interned for NASCAR. His name is Phil and he is an exceptional young man. We talk about what HE did during pandemic, and the leaps and bounds he went through to go after his dream. We discuss quite a bit in this episode, including some race related stuff, however, I do implore whatever your stance on it is, you give this a listen. Now without further ado, we're off to the races!! (racecar ones)
