In this soul-stirring episode of Soul Sparks, we welcome Dave “Letterfly” Knoderer—circus runaway, horseman, muralist, and master storyteller. From a childhood marked by chaos to a life of spiritual clarity, Dave shares how running away to join the circus wasn’t an escape—it was a calling. Through addiction recovery, artistic mastery, and equine connection, he discovered his divine purpose: to serve, to heal, and to inspire. This conversation dives deep into vulnerability, storytelling, and the transformation that comes when we turn pain into purpose and chaos into creativity. Prepare to be moved by a life that proves it’s never too late to begin again.
About the Guest:
Dave "Letterfly" Knoderer is a lifelong artist, former circus drummer, liberty horse trainer, and muralist whose story spans from childhood trauma to triumph. He’s a recovery advocate and storyteller who uses his journey to help others overcome addiction, perfectionism, and self-doubt—reminding us that healing is an art, and each soul has a story to tell.
Key Takeaways:
Running away doesn’t always mean escape—sometimes it’s a step toward your true self.

Addiction recovery begins with honesty, willingness, and a personal relationship with a higher power.

Art and storytelling are powerful tools for healing, clarity, and self-discovery.

Perfectionism is not a spiritual goal—it’s a barrier to growth and connection.

Horses taught Dave more about trust, honesty, and presence than people ever did.

Vulnerability is the gateway to meaningful service and deep human connection.
