In this episode, JT gets honest about his journey with emotions: why they're real, why they're not wrong, and why they were never designed to be in the driver's seat of your life. When feelings take charge, everything suffers. But when you learn to actually deal with them — not suppress them, not be ruled by them — something shifts.

JT knew Jesus was the answer. He just didn't know how. And for a long time, that gap left him stuck — treating symptoms while the real wounds stayed buried underneath. The breakthrough came when he stopped focusing on what was going wrong on the surface and started looking at what was happening underneath. That's where real healing lives. And that's where Jesus actually meets you.

When Jerry and Carol lost their daughter, they entered a grief they never could have prepared for. In this deeply moving episode, they open up about what it looked like to grieve individually — and together. Grief doesn't look the same for everyone, even when you share the same loss, and they learned that firsthand. They also share honestly about how their faith was tested, but through intentionality, honesty, and a commitment to God and each other, their marriage didn't just survive — it grew stronger. If you're walking through loss, or walking alongside someone who is, this conversation is for you. There is hope on the other side, and you don't have to find it alone.
