In this episode, Justin sits down with a twenty-year-old young man who shares how he came to understand that God’s love isn’t based on perfection — it’s based on grace. He opens up about growing up attending the public school system, the challenges young people face today, and how his faith was shaped through serving two summers at a Christian camp in Alaska and a youth Bible retreat in Colorado.

He reflects on the disappointment of God closing the door on his dream of becoming a game warden, and how that unexpected “no” led to deeper trust, new direction, and meeting his girlfriend. Along the way, he breaks down why prayer doesn’t have to be complicated and how learning to simply talk to God changed everything.

This conversation is honest, encouraging, and especially relevant for young adults learning how to follow God when life doesn’t go according to plan.
