About this episode
Cody and Julia reflect on their intense year of ministry, discussing the emotional toll and personal growth experienced along the way.
In this powerful and honest episode, Cody and Julia look back on an unforgettable year—over 80 prison services, concerts, conferences, tours, 40+ million views, 50,000+ decisions for Jesus, and 15,000+ letters—while reminding us that it’s never been about numbers, fame, or image, but about giving God all the glory. They open up about the hidden cost of saying yes to everything, the emotional weight of prison ministry, visiting people behind bars, running Worthy People as a two-person team, and the toll it took on their marriage, health, and mental well-being—especially as Julia carried and gave birth to their daughter Faith during one of their busiest seasons. Cody shares his breaking point, his therapy journey, learning boundaries, and how healing from childhood trauma reshaped how he leads and loves. Together, they talk weight loss, spiritual renewal, slowing down, and big changes ahead—including scaling back in 2026, future tours in 2027, new projects, upcoming prison dates, marriage conferences, and why this next season is about sustainability, health, and faithfulness over hustle. The episode closes with a spoken word piece, “For the One,”—this episode is a must-watch if…
