ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Some moments change your life. Others leave you wondering why you're still here.
For Cain Kerner, there was a night when the weight of everything he had been carrying became too much. A night when he attempted to take his own life. And in the middle of that darkness, something happened that, to this day, he still cannot explain.
A Bible that had been sitting on his dresser somehow ended up beside him. He has no recollection of moving it.
Was it God? Was it coincidence? Cain doesn't pretend to know the answer.
But this conversation is about so much more than that night.
Because sometimes the battles we fight as adults began long before we had the words to describe them.
In this deeply personal conversation, Cain and I explore childhood abandonment, the lasting effects of trauma, mental health, sexual immorality, faith, emotional intelligence, and the complicated relationship between who we are, what we've experienced, and who we're trying to become.
Cain opens up about his suicide attempt, his experience inside a mental health facility, and the difficult realities of confronting the things we carry but rarely speak about.
We talk about the wounds that follow us into adulthood, the ways we search for belonging, the importance of understanding our emotions, and what it means to find faith when life has given you every reason to question it.
This isn't simply a conversation about surviving your darkest moment.
It's about everything that came before it, everything that followed, and the possibility that our stories are still being written, even when we believe they've reached their end.
Because maybe it does.
