Send a textIn this episode we get real about faith, childhood wounds, calling, and how God uses the darkest parts of our story to build the brightest parts of our purpose. This is raw and honest. We talk about growing up without stability, trying to fill emotional gaps, and how the hurt we carry from childhood still shows up in our adult lives.My guest today is Pastor E.J. Lanham of Field of Grace Church in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. E.J. grew up around bars, addiction, chaos, and a whole lot of brokenness. His dad was consistent but wild, his mom battled addiction, and the environment he was raised in shaped him in ways he would not fully understand until years later.We talk about how God kept showing up in small ways, how E.J. got saved at 23 with no background in church, and how he went from having no spiritual foundation to leading a church that now reaches hundreds every week. His story is powerful because it is real. The darkness did not disqualify him. It prepared him.We dig into the emotional side of growing up without a nurturing mother, the attachment wounds it creates, and how that affects men long into adulthood. We talk about the provider role, the nurturer role, and how most of us spend our lives trying to fill the gaps of what we never received.This episode is about: • How childhood wounds shape who we become as adults • Why God uses broken stories to reach broken people • How men learn to communicate, feel, and heal • The tension between provider and nurturer roles • What real faith and leadership look like outside of the spotlight • How consistency from a flawed parent can still be life changingThis one is for anyone who grew up with chaos, anyone trying to break generational patterns, and anyone who needs to hear that God can use your story exactly as it is.🎙 Hosted by Tim Crume 🎧 Guest: Pastor E.J.

Send a textIn this episode we get real. Not surface level. Not highlight-reel stuff. Real life, real emotions, real growth. We talk about purpose, fear, childhood trauma, leadership, and what it looks like when the little kid inside of you tries to run the show in adult life.I share a story from our family trip where I found myself steering a boat through some rough water. On the outside I looked calm, but inside I was gripping that wheel tight. That moment hit me hard, because sometimes leadership feels the same way. You are responsible for the people with you, and even if you are nervous, you stay steady and guide everyone through. Then once you make it to solid ground, you talk about it honestly.We talk about how so many of our reactions today are still coming from that younger version of us. The little boy who did not know how to process fear. The version of you who did not have the tools yet. And if we never face that, that younger self will keep steering the ship.One thing we dig into is the idea of sponsoring your victims. A lot of people get healed or overcome something hard and then go help everyone else, but never go back and repair the damage at home. The ones who lived through your broken parts deserve that conversation. They deserve that healing too. Growth means not just fixing yourself, but restoring what was hurt along the way.This episode is about: • Leading through fear without pretending fear is not real • When the child version of you tries to run your life • Speaking honestly about pain instead of hiding it • Faith and healing through vulnerability • Sponsoring your victims and repairing the relationships closest to youThis one is for anyone learning to lead with honesty, to heal old pain, and to live in truth so the next generation does not repeat the same cycles.🎙 Hosted by Tim Crume 🔗 Full access → https://solo.to/crumecast 🗓 New episodes First Tuesday of every month at 6PM EST
