In 2013, David Wenzel was existing at rock bottom. After a miserable divorce and barely handling his cancer diagnosis, he felt he had nothing left to offer the world. But in May 2013, his closest friends gifted him a necklace with the latin phrase "Flecti Non Frangi," inscribed on it. Translated as "To Be Bent Not Broken," this phrase means one who can endure hardship yet still remain true to themselves. Because of this gift, David gained the motivation to survive the painful moments of seizures, heartbreaks, and failures, while discovering that everyone, in their own way, is bent, but no one is ever truly broken. David is currently sharing his redemption story with students, universities, hospitals, churches, conferences, and corporations.  To learn more about David, visit BentNotBroken.org or ThankYouKungFu.com.  Join The Brotherhood Join the Front Row Dads private Facebook community so you can ask questions, share ideas, and be part of a supportive group of incredible brothers who help one another navigate

Sam and Patrick Cullinane have been married for over twenty years and they would tell you they are one of the happiest couples they know. But they weren’t always this happy. In fact, after ten years of marriage, they were ready to sign the divorce papers. During the first ten years of their marriage, they struggled through like most people do: trying to navigate life together without any real tools, realizing they were in many ways opposites, fighting often, having sex less and less, distrust and jealousy rearing their ugly heads, and what they believed was falling out of love.

In their tenth year of marriage, they decided to call it quits and filed for divorce. After a year apart, against all odds, they decided to get back together. This time they came with new insights including recognition of the things each of them brought to the relationship – good and bad. Bo
