Ep.14 Breakfast, Belief, and the Quiet Work of God (What Really Changes Lives)

What if some of the most meaningful work we’re called to do looks… ordinary?
In this episode, we explore Christmas through the lens of fatherhood, presence, shared meals, and honest conversation—and how simple acts, such as making breakfast or asking better questions, can quietly change lives. This is a conversation about slowing down, showing up, and redefining what “God’s work” really looks like in everyday life.
