We Stop Waiting And Step Into The Water

We waited a long time for baptism day, and when it finally arrived, it didn’t feel like a single moment. It felt like a whole season coming to a head: grief, healing, late-night doubts, and the decision to stop “faking fine” and start living our faith out loud. This recap is personal, funny in the way real life is funny, and honest about how heavy a joyful day can still feel. We talk through the people who showed up for us and the kind of church community that’s built on effort, not convenience. Some friends drove an hour. Others rode the city bus, got dropped at the mall, and walked the rest of the way just to be there. We also share how the livestream let family and friends watch from afar, and why that mattered more than we expected. Then we go behind the scenes on the testimony video: the pressure of telling a big story in a small window, the “interrogation” feeling of being interviewed, and the moment we realized we needed to re-record so the truth felt right in our bodies. We connect it back to the bigger faith journey, including losing Ali’s mom to addiction and suicide, leaning into God when strength was gone, and learning there is no Christian checklist you have to complete before you take a step. If this story hits home, listen, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find Share the Struggle Podcast.
