Whitney — my amazing wife who would never describe public speaking as her comfort zone — suggested that for Christmas week, I should be the one interviewed instead of doing the interviewing.

I agreed… but only if she was the one asking the questions.

She reluctantly said yes. And what came out of that brave yes is one of the most personal, vulnerable, emotional episodes I’ve ever recorded.

She asked me things like:
✨ “What is something hosting this podcast has changed in you?”
✨ “What does it really mean to bring Jesus to work?”
✨ “What season of pain in your life revealed God’s purpose most clearly?”
…and more questions I absolutely did not see coming.

Whitney did beautifully. And the conversation that followed? It surprised even me.

If you’ve ever wondered about the heart behind this podcast, the story behind the mission, or the moments of pain and purpose that shaped my faith… this is the episode you don’t want to miss.

It’s vulnerable. It’s honest. It’s hopeful.

And I pray it encourages you this Christmas season.
