David shares how becoming a dad at 19 completely changed the direction of his life. What first felt scary, overwhelming, and unexpected became the pivot that helped him grow up, take responsibility, and begin discovering who he really was.
This conversation moves through David’s story of growing up homeschooled, falling in love with his wife Katie, discovering filmmaking, working to provide for his young family, feeling disconnected from himself, rediscovering creativity, learning true rest, and wrestling with the deep truth that God’s love is not something we earn through performance.
For anyone who feels like they are wandering, checking out, overwhelmed, or trying to prove their worth, David’s story is a reminder that you are already loved.
