Ep.116: John C. Maxwell
Tom visits with John C. Maxwell at RESGEN Men’s Summit 2026 for a meaningful conversation about faith, leadership, and the power of lifelong learning.
Parker Hanson is a friend of Tom’s with both an incredibly inspirational story and a powerful testimony of how Jesus changed his life. Parker is a follower of Jesus, husband, and soon-to-be father who is a Financial Advisor at Merrill Lynch in Sioux Falls. He is also a former professional baseball player who succeeded despite being born without his left hand.
On this episode of the RESGEN Giving Life Podcast, Parker and Tom discuss several meaningful topics, including:
- How Parker found Christ during a very dark season
- The impact Parker’s stepdad had on his life
- What the phrase “Rise above, no excuses” means to him
- How Parker transitioned from seeing having one hand as a disability, to seeing it as an ability to inspire others
- How we all have a part in sharing God’s Word even when we feel inadequate
If you want to connect more with Parker, you can reach him on his personal or motivational speaker Facebook page. You can also email him at hansonspeaking@gmail.com.
