In today’s episode, Pastor Shawn Johnson gets vulnerable about his battles with depression, anxiety, addiction, and the temptation to quit. Drawing from personal experience and his newest book Kiss the Fire, Shawn reminds listeners that God often does His best work in the places we’d rather avoid. This is an honest, hope-filled conversation about pain, healing, and perseverance as Shawn shares practical wisdom on getting back up after spiritual burnout, facing intrusive thoughts, an unwanted and unexpected diagnosis, and finding strength to keep going when everything in you wants to collapse. He discusses the power of confession, how God uses adversity to shape your calling, and the small, daily steps that rebuild hope, resilience, and spiritual confidence.
