How do you know when you have to change your life?
When you grow up in an all-encompassing and all-consuming world but then find that you need to live in another world to be your most authentic self, how do you find the strength to do that? Is it a survival instinct?
My friend Zack grew up in an evangelical Christian home where he had to teach himself to read and live in a world-view that was very specific to his church.
And then he left that world to seek out and create a new one for himself and his future family. He figured out how to see faith in a moment and actively love people around him…and sometimes even himself.
This episode is about so much - resilience, bravery, belief, and a man’s journey to become more than he was born into.
