From the outside, Johnny Parker’s life looked picture-perfect—a bestselling author, speaker, husband, and dad. But behind the scenes, he was battling anxiety, control issues, and fear of vulnerability. In this powerful episode, Johnny shares with Pastor Jonas Hill about how God met him in that broken place and began to heal his heart. He talks about learning true strength—not the kind defined by image or performance, but by humility and heart—and how being honest with his wife, friends, and God transformed his life. Drawing from his book Frontstage Backstage, Johnny offers practical steps for overcoming burnout and panic, reminding us that real healing begins when we let God into the parts we’ve tried hardest to hide.
