  • Free Falling in Faith | August 5th 2025

    Send us a text

    In this deeply personal solo episode, host Evan Stone opens up about the transformative journey that brought him to the relaunch of Dude, Let’s Talk—no longer just a podcast, but a fully surrendered, Spirit-led digital ministry.

    Evan shares how the show began with the mission to break the silence around the struggles men face in silence—and how that mission has evolved into something far more eternal: pointing others to the truth of God's presence in the middle of pain, pruning, and surrender.

    From the collapse of his “corporate kingdom” to the birth of his new book To Die Is to Live, Evan walks listeners through what it looks like to be broken, stripped of performance-based identity, and rebuilt in the image of Christ. He speaks candidly about generational trauma, the cost of ego, the call to surrender, and the freedom found in embracing the upside-down Kingdom of God.
