Finding Faith On Their Own | 2026 Student Edition | Vol. 1

2026 Student Edition | Vol. 1In this episode of The Life Stories Podcast, David sits down with Landen and Jackie, two recent high school graduates stepping into a brand-new chapter of life while discovering what it truly means to have a faith of their own.For both of them, faith wasn’t always personal. Like so many young people, they grew up knowing about God, but eventually reached a point where they had to decide for themselves what they believed and what role Jesus would have in their lives.Landen and Jackie share openly about some of the struggles they’ve faced, the lessons they’ve learned, and the people God placed in their lives along the way. They talk about relationships, temptation, identity, finding freedom, navigating their faith in high school, and learning to choose Jesus in a culture that often encourages them to do the opposite.Now at 18 and beginning life after high school, their stories are still being written. One chapter may be ending, but a completely new one is just beginning—and they’re stepping into it with a faith that is becoming personal, genuine, and their own.Finding Faith on Their Own is a conversation about growing up, making mistakes, finding freedom, and realizing that following Jesus isn’t about living off someone else’s faith. At some point, each of us has to decide for ourselves who Jesus is and whether we’re willing to follow Him.No matter your age or where you are in your own journey, Landen and Jackie’s conversation is a reminder that God can meet you right where you are, and it’s never too early—or too late—to make your faith your own.Everyone has a story. This is Landen and Jackie’s.
