John Patrick Rist: confronting absence... fatherhood, identity & hope

In this unfiltered sit-down, John Patrick Rist unpacks his life's raw edges: childhood shadows of fear, family fractures, spiritual quests through drugs and Eastern paths, and a seismic surrender to Jesus at 19. We wander through terror, identity wounds, and the pursuit of unshakeable truth, touching on unwanted same-sex attraction, demonic dread, and the quiet war between light and lies. No polished answers here, just the truth of what one human sees when he opens his eyes.
