What happens when your faith is tested in real time? How do you stay obedient to God when the pressure is high and the path forward isn't clear?

In this expert interview, Jim Ramos has a real and deeply transparent conversation with Shawn Johnson, whose world was turned upside down when he was diagnosed with an incurable degenerative brain disease. Shawn openly shares his journey from denial to hopelessness, all while continuing to serve as a pastor and leader. You'll hear what Shawn had to learn, not just to survive the last few years, but to truly thrive as a whole and complete man and how radical honesty with God ultimately transformed his faith.
