Episode 61: The Boldest Chapter – with Alicia Schumacher

What if clarity doesn’t come from having a perfect plan—

but from losing everything that made you think you had to?

In this powerful episode, Heather and Amos sit down with Alicia Schumacher, founder of Bold Minds and Bold Identity Studio, to talk about identity, reinvention, and the raw reality of starting over.

After nearly 20 years in marketing, Alicia’s life took a sharp turn—grief, health crisis, and deep personal loss. What came next wasn’t a rebrand. It was a resurrection.

This conversation dives deep into what it means to lead with faith, rebuild through surrender, and find purpose in the parts of your story you never wanted to tell.

We cover:

• Navigating life and leadership with ADHD
• The unseen layers of grief, stillness, and obedience
• Why your story—not your image—is your brand
• Learning to trust clarity that comes from within
• And how your boldest chapter may not be your loudest—but your realest

Whether you’re leading, healing, or in a season of quiet surrender—this episode will remind you:

You’re not behind. You’re becoming.

“Wrecked for More” with Pastor Phill Tague

This episode will challenge what you think you know about calling, grace, and leadership.

What happens when God doesn’t just save you—but stops you?

Phill Tague knows. He was the guy with all the answers, all the hustle, and all the wrong direction—until God called him out, broke through his pride, and gave him something far more dangerous: purpose.

Before Ransom Church.

Before preaching.

Before the platform.

He was a modern-day Saul. And this is the story of how he became a bold Paul.

In Episode 60 of Fortitude, Phill Tague sits down with Heather and Amos to unpack:

• How getting wrecked by grace launched his real ministry
• The trauma, questions, and truth that surfaced from being adopted—and how it shaped his identity as a leader
• What spiritual surrender actually looks like when it’s not sanitized or staged
• Why men in ministry often fake strength—and how God uses brokenness instead
• The heart behind his new book Jesus Be the Centerfold—a raw critique of “airbrushed Christianity” and a call back to covenant faith

If you’re done with feel-good faith, Sunday showmanship, or surface-level leadership—this one’s for you.

This episode is a gut-check. A truth bomb. A grace collision.
