“I didn’t want to do this interview.” That’s how this interview opens up—and what follows is one of the most raw and vulnerable conversations we’ve ever had.

Sam shares:

👶 Growing up as 1 of 5 kids in poverty with a drug-addicted father

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 How his incredible adoptive parents changed his life trajectory

💔 His public divorce and the ripple effect it had on his ministry and professional world

🏛️ Why the system of church often leaves no room for pastors to heal, recover, or experience redemption

🔥 And how Laterras pushed him to places he wasn’t comfortable going—but needed to

This episode is about grace, truth, and the courage to tell your story—even when it hurts.
