Detour

In this episode, Thomas and I talk through the unexpected turns that shaped his journey and how God was present in every one of them. From his college experience and involvement in church to law school and meaningful conversations along the way, his path ultimately took a wild detour into a forestry grad program at UGA, which was so unexpected. This story is full of moments that didn’t go as planned but led exactly where he needed to be. We also dive into the question so many of us face: how do you navigate uncertainty when the path isn’t clear? Through it all, this episode is a reminder that detours aren’t distractions; they’re often where the most growth happens. And for parents, this conversation hits close to home. Walking alongside your adult children in seasons of uncertainty isn’t easy. We’re no longer called to parent the same way; we're called to coach from the sidelines. It’s a shift that requires trust, patience, and a deep reliance on God as He writes their story.
