A REMEDY FOR A SICK HEART:
THE WOUNDS DONE TO YOU

You've been hurt by someone who was supposed to be safe. And somewhere along the way, that wound stopped being an event and started becoming a story about who you are. Jeremy and Henry have both lived this one. In week two of the A Remedy for a Sick Heart series, they name the three wounds that get done to you — disappointment, betrayal, and rejection — and show you exactly how each one rewrites your identity when it goes unnamed. You'll learn why betrayal cuts deeper than any other pain, why the shame you're carrying was never yours to hold, and how to reframe rejection as redirection. Left unnamed, these wounds keep choosing your future. Named honestly, they lose their grip.

Watch or listen above — then take this week's challenge and write down the one sentence your wound has been teaching you.

EPISODE 30 – AUGUST 17, 2026

A REMEDY FOR A SICK HEART:
THE WOUNDS WE BUILD OURSELVES

Some of what feels like wisdom is actually a wound wearing a disguise. In week three of the A Remedy for a Sick Heart series, Jeremy and Henry turn the mirror around. Last week covered the wounds done to you. This week covers the ones you built in response — unforgiveness, self-protection, lost hope, and isolation — and why they're harder to spot because they don't hurt. They just quietly become who you are.

You'll hear why forgiveness has nothing to do with trust, why a wall built for survival can stand for years and still fail you, and why hope doesn't announce its own funeral — it just stops showing up. Left unnamed, these patterns run your relationships from the background. Named honestly, you get to choose again.

Watch or listen above — then take this week's challenge and name the one that's actually running your decisions right now.

EPISODE 31 – AUGUST 24, 2026

A REMEDY FOR A SICK HEART:
Three frameworks: talk, trust, shift

Naming the wound is the first step. Today, Jeremy and Henry start doing something about it. In week four of the A Remedy for a Sick Heart series, they hand you three practical frameworks straight from Henry's book — one for honest communication, one for rebuilding trust after it's broken, and one for moving from blame to responsibility.

You'll learn why silence can preserve peace but never heal what truth hasn't touched, why an apology is only the words while the pattern is the proof, and why trust doesn't rebuild with time — it rebuilds with truthful consistency over time.

Left as diagnosis alone, insight just sits there. Put into practice, it becomes the remedy.

Watch or listen above — then pick one framework, the one you actually need, and take just the first step this week.

MEET THE BREAKTHROUGH BROS

Henry

Meet Henry Ballard, Jr., a beacon of hope for those feeling stuck at a crossroads in life. With over 38 years of dedicated ministry experience as the founding pastor of Christian Fellowship Family Worship Center in Violet, LA, Henry has faced some of life’s toughest challenges. He knows the pain of loss intimately—grieving his father, mother, and child—while navigating the complexities of divorce and transitioning from a military career that spanned 21 years. These experiences have equipped him with the empathy and insight necessary to guide others seeking transformation.

Henry understands firsthand the struggles of feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn. When he felt lost, he longed for a compass, someone to provide compassionate guidance through foggy moments. This realization led him to obtain certification in life and leadership coaching (where he met Jeremy). 17 years later, they created "The Breakthrough Bros," a platform designed to help individuals and leaders find their direction, regain their confidence, and take meaningful steps toward their goals.

Thousands have found empowerment and renewed hope by engaging with Henry’s message of change and transformation. Listeners feel inspired to create the fulfilling lives they deserve, armed with the clarity and tools provided by The Breakthrough Bros. It’s not just coaching—it’s a life-altering journey rooted in decades of real-world experience. Join the community, listen to the podcast, and take the first step toward your breakthrough today.

Jeremy

Meet Jeremy Flagg, the man who knows what it feels like to be stuck. Picture this: a former pastor, suddenly tossed out of his cushy pew without a game plan, feeling like he was wandering in a desert without GPS. In 2003, he was let go, and, faced with uncertainty, his life became a comedy of errors (minus the laughs). But like any good plot twist, he didn’t let that setback define him. Instead, he became a certified life and leadership coach (where he met his brother from another mother, Henry). Instead of staying down, he embraced his new mission: guiding others out of the fog of confusion. With over 24 years of leadership and coaching experience, he has helped countless folks discover which way is up and how to get there with confidence. Why? Because Jeremy once felt just as lost, and he wants to ensure nobody else has to juggle their doubts alone.

Jeremy's coaching journey has been nothing short of transformational. He’s not just spinning tales; he's published books like "Your Best Is Next" and hosted a podcast that educated and entertained, proving that clarity doesn’t have to be boring. He's inspired many to shake off their shackles and dance into their futures. So if you're feeling like a deer in headlights, tune into the "Breakthrough Bros" podcast, and join a community where change is not only possible—it's encouraged. Not to mention, who wouldn’t want to learn from someone who knows how to turn setbacks into comebacks? Jeremy is the guide you didn’t know you needed, serving humor with a side of wisdom. Now let’s get you unstuck and moving forward, because your breakthrough is waiting!
