About this episode

Todd reflects on his life of chasing success and the emptiness he felt until a transformative encounter led him to question his faith.

In Part 1 of this amazing story Todd spent most of his life chasing success. Basketball. Business. Money. Achievement. And for a long time, it worked, at least on the surface. But underneath it all was a growing isolation he couldn’t explain. Even after building the life he thought he wanted, something still felt empty. Then came an encounter. A confession. A near-death experience. And a question that changed everything: Are you fully with Jesus… or still sitting on the fence?
