Episode 1 launches the “Raised for the Fight” series from Forged in Fire and Grace. I share an honest beginning—hardship, calling, collapse, and redemption—and why this podcast exists: not perfection, but Jesus meeting real people in real life, sometimes with nothing more than a cup of coffee and an open heart. If you’ve been knocked down, this is your reminder: by the grace of God, you don’t have to stay down.
