In this first part of his story, Doug sits down with Chad to talk about where it all started—small-town Kansas, a complicated family history with church, and a whole lot of running from God. Doug shares what it was like growing up trying to live up to his siblings, how rebellion became his identity, and how things spiraled into partying, drugs, and even a near-fatal overdose.

But that’s not where the story ends.

Even when Doug had given up on himself, God hadn’t. Through some wild and unexpected moments—including a powerful spiritual encounter in a parked car with the woman who’d become his wife—Doug started to realize that Jesus never stopped chasing him.

This episode is raw, honest, and full of hope. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve messed up too much or gone too far, Doug’s journey will remind you that no one is ever beyond the reach of grace.
