Summary

Willie Robertson recounts an unforgettable meeting with a fan who was planning to take his own life until a brief exchange changed everything, launching a debate with Jase about how “church speak” can confuse people who simply need the hope of Jesus. Willie shares what opened his eyes about how to talk about the gospel and his faith with anyone he meets. The guys explore how the Gospel travels best through ordinary words and willing hearts rather than grandiose speeches. Zach’s just glad Willie’s on the receiving end of Jase’s teasing this time, and Al’s happy to referee.
