In this episode, Jerrad Lopes returns after a four-month break. He shares how hidden sin, deep wounds, and a crisis of identity led him to the darkest season of his life—and how God met him there. Jerrad opens up about stepping away from ministry, entering a two-week counseling intensive, and why full healing is impossible without radical honesty.

This episode is a call to Christian men: if you want your family to thrive, healing must begin with you. You don’t need more parenting tips—you need deep, soul-level transformation. And it starts by coming out of hiding.

Why secrecy destroys spiritual leadership
The emotional cost of compartmentalized sin
The moment Jerrad chose full healing over self-destruction
Why counseling and community are essential for real change
What it feels like to live with nothing hidden
