Landon also shares honest wisdom about faith, work, and staying grounded when people depend on your decisions.

In this episode of Miles Off Script, I sit down with my friend Jireh to talk about what it looks like to choose obedience over stability.

We explore the unseen realities of worship leading and how faith is formed when comfort is no longer the compass.
