This is part two of our conversation with Michael Krommendyk, and it goes even deeper into the places many men quietly carry. We talk about church hurt, belonging, and what it feels like when your faith still matters but the structures around it no longer fit. Michael shares what it looks like to step away without walking away from God, and how community can hold you when certainty is gone. If you have ever wondered whether your questions mean you are losing your faith, this episode gently pushes back on that fear. This one feels like sitting across the table with someone who understands and is willing to stay.

What happens when the place that shaped your faith is also the place that wounds you? In this first part of a 2-part episode, Michael Krommendyk takes us through his journey from growing up in church to stepping into ministry and eventually stepping away from it all. He opens up about the weight of expectations, the quiet moments of doubt, and the small discoveries of grace that reshaped his story. This episode isn’t about answers, it’s about noticing the questions that hit hardest and the spaces where healing actually begins. Listen if you’re curious about what it looks like to wrestle honestly with faith, identity, and the messy middle of life.

This episode starts with punctuation, of all things, and somehow lands on one of the most grounded ways to close out a year. Jesse and Chris talk about how many of us end December with a question mark, an exclamation point, or a long, tired comma that never gives us a real pause. What if this time you ended with a period instead. The kind that lets the year be exactly what it was and lets you name who you have actually become. It is a simple idea with surprising weight, and the guys invite you into it with tenderness, honesty, and a pretty unforgettable image of God’s hands cupped around your becoming.
