Fortitude
Everyone has a story of Fortitude! When we tell our stories of pain in adversity - stories of courage, redemption and hope - we give others permission to speak up and get the help they need. Each episode will give the listener a look inside what overcoming adversity looks like no matter what life throws at you. Each story is uniquely different - stories of alcoholism/addiction, infidelity, rape, abuse, loss of a child/children, cancer, rare disease, tragic accidents...etc.! We are in this life together to support one another and build community around hope and redemption. I am your host, Heather Kittelson, and I am so excited to have you here as part of the Fortitude community!

Episode 70: A Godly Man Before Any Title With Paul TenHaken
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Before the city knew his name, before the title, before the office, there was just a kid from Worthington, Minnesota.
In this conversation, we didn’t ask Mayor Paul TenHaken about policy. We didn’t ask about budgets or elections or what comes next in his career.
We asked the question most people never get to ask a leader they admire:
Who are you when no one’s watching?
What does your faith actually look like on the hard days, not the public ones?
What does “finishing well” mean in your soul, not on your resume?
Paul sat with us for this one. No script. No talking points. Just a man talking honestly about the God who shaped him before the world tried to define him.
This is Part 1. Just Paul. 34 minutes that might change how you think about leadership, faith, and what it means to be a godly man before you’re anything else.
Part 2 with Paul and Jill drops Tuesday, and that conversation about marriage, covenant, and oneness will wreck you in the best way.
If you know a man who needs to hear this, a husband, a dad, a leader who’s carrying more than he lets on, send it to him.
