This week is raw, hopeful, and brutally honest.

Bridger and Elena talk about what it’s like to WALK again after years in a wheelchair — the exhaustion, the grief, the miracles, and the mindset it takes to rebuild your body and your faith at the same time.

They unpack the idea of the “liminal space” — the in-between of who you were and who you’re becoming — and how patience, truth, and daily discipline shape recovery. They also react to the Charlie Kirk assassination, the outrage on socials, and what it says about empathy, division, and living by truth instead of emotion.

If you’re healing from anything — physically, mentally, or spiritually — this one will hit deep.
