Are you searching for hope after loss, juggling your calling with real-life pain, or wondering if faith can bring real redemption—even after heartbreak and defeat? Jason’s story might be JUST what you need. This is more than a rockstar memoir—it's a raw, relatable masterclass in finding resilience, rediscovering your identity, and letting God use your brokenness for something epic.

What You'll Experience in This Episode:

• The true origin story of Paramore—from mowing Hayley Williams’ lawn to joining the band overnight
• Why Jason walked away from stardom at Paramore’s peak and the gut-wrenching family crisis that called him home
• Losing $160,000 in gear in the Nashville flood—and how hitting rock bottom forced a total life's reset

• Finding new identity: from sidelined musician to working actor on TV’s “Nashville” and “9-1-1”
• Lessons on masculinity: why being a “stand up dude” means vulnerability, bringing your mess to God, and loving your family fiercely—even when you feel empty
• Candid talk about addiction, mental health, and picking up the pieces when you’re “supposed” to have it all
• Powerful encouragement for Christian men: how to fight passivity, stop letting the past define you, and make every minute count
