Past is Prelude - Rob Gray - Episode 4 Part 4

Roll with us on our final discussion in Episode 4 (Part 4) as we wrap up our dialogue on a relentless pursuit of GOD amidst brokenness. We covered topics such as career transition, depression, suicidal ideation, divorce, domestic violence, stigma, a weaponized narrative that negatively impacts returning veterans, parental alienation and more. Although these topics seem dark, we end with the hope we experience through our Light, LORD and Savior JESUS. Rob reveals some of the struggles he has experienced and shares what helped him through the dark times and sustains him as he moves through life. Sometimes there are topics that might be easy to avoid or tough to discuss and we wanted to run at them head on. Our hope is that whoever needs to hear this finds hope they need to endure.
