Konrad never expected a simple move for medical school would upend his world. An introverted first-year student, he built walls of self-protection to shield against loneliness and rejection. When his only campus community collapsed, Konrad faced a choice: stay trapped in isolation or step into an unexpected leadership role. Pushed beyond comfort, he discovered hidden strengths, forged authentic friendships, and found a deeper calling in serving others. In this faith-rooted conversation, Konrad and host Teko Bailey unpack how responsibility can shatter self-doubt, how mentorship and prayer nurture growth, and why true courage often begins with small acts of obedience.
