In this episode, Brody sits down with JB and shares his dad’s story of secret sin and moral failure and how it has shaped his own marriage and ministry at Snowbird. Brody pulls out his dad’s old, marked-up Bibles as a picture of a life that looked faithful on the outside but was unraveling in private.

They walk through hidden patterns of porn and infidelity, a suicide attempt, and the lasting impact on a family and a church. The conversation goes beyond one man’s failure to the deeper reality that any of us can drift if we don’t remain steadfast and faithful.

This episode isn’t just reflection, it’s practical. They talk about what it means to truly hate sin, keep your hand on the plow once you’ve committed to follow Christ, and put guardrails in place that protect your marriage and ministry. It’s a sober reminder and a clear call to stay anchored, finish well, and deal with sin before it has the chance to take root and cost you more than you ever intended to lose.
