Summary
For the last five years on the 4:13—and for the last eighteen years at Fresh Grounded Faith conferences—you've heard me spill the beans and interview incredible guests! But today, we're doing something we have never done before!
My two sons asked if they could turn the tables and interview me—to talk about the story behind the ministry and the heart behind the microphone. They wanted to unpack my life, my calling, and the journey that led us here. So, in this two-part miniseries, we're officially flipping the mic.
As my boys ask the questions, you'll hear a candid, curious, revealing conversation about ministry, blindness, writing, speaking, and legacy.
In Part One, we look back at how this ministry got started. Plus, I take you behind the scenes of writing and speaking—sharing some of my funniest moments along the way and what I've learned about reading the audience … especially without being able to see them.
