This episode is one of the most honest and human conversations we’ve had on Called to Confidence.

I sit down with Scott Warren—Leadership and Workplace Culture Speaker, author, and host of the Preach Where You Reach® Podcast—to talk about what it really looks like to love people when they’re hurting… and when we’ve been hurt ourselves.

We dive into the reality of church hurt, the tension of navigating faith in a diverse world, and the importance of sharing our stories to bring hope—not pressure. This conversation is raw, candid, and deeply relatable as we explore how to lead with compassion without compromising who we are.

You’ll hear powerful reminders like: your faith doesn’t have to be someone else’s, loving people doesn’t require fixing them, and sometimes growth comes down to one simple truth—choose your hard.

Along the way, Scott shares impactful stories—including the Garth Brooks story and the Neil story—that will stay with you long after the episode ends.

If you’ve ever wrestled with hurt, faith, or how to show up for others with both truth and grace… this episode is for you.
