It's NOT About Me - Julian's Story

About this episode

Julian shares his journey from addiction and emptiness to discovering the importance of surrender and grace.

We all want to be liked, respected, accepted. But sometimes, the desire to be approved by others becomes a quiet prison — a cell we decorate with smiles and success while slowly dying inside. We desire something that others and even ourselves can't provide. My guest, Julian, shares how on the outside, he looked like he had it all together. On the inside, addiction and emptiness was taking over. It wasn’t until everything fell apart that he discovered something life-changing — It wasn't about him. It’s about surrender. It’s about grace. It’s about letting God take the lead in a story that was never meant to center on us in the first place. Amazing life-change story!
