More About Garry
Garry Junkuhn is a father who has experienced significant personal challenges and transformed these into a mission to help others. He founded "100k Fathers," an organization that prepares fathers to reunite with their children. This initiative was born out of Garry’s own painful experience of losing contact with his two sons for over three years, a period in his life marked by intense emotional turmoil and a journey toward personal healing and growth.
Garry’s life took a dramatic turn when he lost contact with his children, which led him to undergo a profound personal transformation. He engaged in various healing practices and experienced a nomadic lifestyle, including time spent with a tribe in the Amazon jungle. These experiences, along with mentors, meditation, and other spiritual practices, contributed to his recovery and eventual reunion with his sons.
Through his organization, Garry aims to support fathers who have lost contact with their children, offering guidance and tools to help them reconnect. His approach focuses on changing harmful beliefs and stories, releasing feelings of shame, guilt, and anger, and preparing these fathers to become the best versions of themselves when they reunite with their children.

More about Matt
God placed the vision of Elevate in Matthew Moore's heart at a young age. As COVID-19 shattered his lifelong dreams of college baseball, Matthew faced a crucial decision. He could either take the conventional four-year path, which he believed would leave him with a meaningless diploma, a job he dreaded, and a life devoid of excitement, or he could bet on himself by fully committing to the vision of building a brand, traveling the world, and paving the way for other men who feel the call to tread the path less traveled.
Three years into self-employment, Elevate has grown to include over 150 men. God continues to work through Matthew in ways beyond what he could have imagined, connecting men from all over the world, hosting events with more than 100 attendees, and proving wrong those who said he was "throwing his life away" by not choosing the conventional route.
Matthew's passion is clear: to trailblaze, empower, and foster an environment that supports the alternative path for men like him. His goal is to build a brand and a community that serves as a foundation for men who choose to join him on this narrow journey. This path is dedicated to becoming one's best self and fully embracing what Elevate stands for—living life at the highest level.
This mission, as Matthew sees it, is his personal contribution to what is being built. He aims to share a life filled with fulfillment, adrenaline, and purpose, and to exemplify what it means to walk with God.

Welcome back to Order Within, where we navigate the tumultuous waves of life's chaos towards the harbor of inner peace and resilience. Today, we delve into a universally shared experience - suffering. In a world rife with challenges, embracing our struggles can become the greatest catalyst for personal growth and transformation.
In this solo episode, I explore the concept that suffering, while a formidable adversary, is also a universal constant that connects us all. Drawing inspiration from historical, biblical, and fictional narratives, we examine how figures like Christ, and characters from stories such as The Lion King, Rocky, and The Matrix, demonstrate that triumph over adversity is not only possible but essential for personal evolution.
Suffering shapes our journey, forging us into nobler, more resilient beings. It invites us to engage with our deepest fears and challenges, pushing us towards a higher purpose. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, I share how my own battles with despair, addiction, and dissatisfaction led me to discover profound truths about my inner self and my relationship with the divine.
Join me as we explore the transformative power of suffering and how, by embracing our challenges, we can live more meaningful, purpose-driven lives. Remember, you are not alone on this journey. Together, we can find order within the chaos and turn our suffering into a beacon of hope and a source of strength.

Welcome to this episode of Order Within. Today, I'm diving deep into divine love and our connection with our Creator, drawing insights from the Urantia Book. I'll share my personal journey and reflections on free will and the divine within us, exploring how these concepts shape our understanding of suffering and our role in the universe.
This episode is for those seeking to redefine success and find strength and meaning beyond materialism. It’s particularly helpful for those who struggle to connect with God and may feel lost. 
It explores faith, resilience, and the noble quest for self-mastery.
Join me as we delve into understanding our place in a larger, loving Creation and how this can transform our self-perception and our view of the world to create deeper meaning and purpose in our lives. 
Key Insights
Understanding Divine Love: The episode emphasizes the depth and nature of divine love, exploring how it differs from human love and the misconceptions surrounding it. It highlights the unconditional and all-encompassing aspect of divine love, portraying it as a guiding force in our lives.
Free Will as a Divine Gift: A significant part of the discussion revolves around free will, presented as a gift from the Creator. The episode delves into how free will allows us to make choices that shape our spiritual journey, emphasizing the responsibility that comes with this freedom.
The Concept of 'Creator Within Us': The episode introduces the idea of the 'creator within us,' often referred to as the divine adjuster. This concept suggests that a part of the divine resides within each individual, guiding and influencing our spiritual growth and journey towards self-realization.
Suffering and Divine Intent: A profound insight offered in the episode is the exploration of why suffering occurs, especially to good people. It addresses the role of free will in experiencing and interpreting suffering, and how suffering can be a catalyst for spiritual growth and understanding.
Redefining Success and Embracing Resilience: The episode encourages listeners to redefine what success means, moving away from materialistic interpretations to a more spiritually fulfilling perspective.
