About this episode
Katelyn James discusses with her dad the impactful lessons on faith and family he has modeled throughout his life.
In this special episode, I’m sitting down with my dad to talk about the losses that shaped his faith, the ministry of presence, and what it looks like to build a life marked by humility, influence, and deep family connection. This conversation is full of wisdom about grief, servant leadership, parenting, and why simply showing up still matters more than ever. 📣 I'M WRITING A BOOK!
