Rebuilt to Last: Grief, Growth, and the Quiet Work

Troy shares how God called him into young adult ministry, why community matters in your 20s, and how rebuilding isn’t repair but a restructuring on the right foundation. He opens up about grief after losing his father and grandfather, how pain can harden or soften your heart, and the scriptures, mentors, and church support that carried him through. They talk comparison, identity, slowing down, joy vs. happiness, and how God can be working even when He feels silent, ending with a prayer for anyone walking through grief or a hard season. Interested in visiting Venture Church in Salinas, CA?
