About this episode

Austin's life is transformed by an email and a deeper understanding of his identity during the COVID pandemic.

Austin thought he had everything he wanted. Good grades. Great friends. Leadership roles. A reputation everyone admired. But when the whole world got slowed down in COVID, he was forced to grapple with the question: What if the person everyone sees isn't who I really am? What followed was a move across the country, a surprising email, and an encounter with God's mercy that changed everything. Sometimes one invitation is all it takes.
