Welcome to the *Ask About My Faith* podcast, where we share inspiring stories of faith, love, and resilience. In this special two-part episode, we sit down with Brian, a passionate educator whose life has been shaped by a deep commitment to fostering trust, communication, and honoring the unique potential of every individual.
In part one, Brian opens up about his journey as the only Black student in a private school in rural Minnesota, growing up adopted in a Caucasian family. He shares his faith story—from the early influence of the church to the deep questions that arose after witnessing a tragic accident. We explore the healing power of mentorship, the impact of Youth With A Mission (YWAM), and Brian’s experiences sharing his faith in everyday moments, like playing basketball with neighborhood kids and praying for a man who came to clean carpets.
In part two, we delve into the profound challenges and triumphs that have shaped Brian’s life, including the story of his daughter and the journey toward healing. We discuss the power of prayer, the belief in miracles, and how to find joy even in suffering. Brian’s focus on God and his desire to share His love is a central theme throughout, culminating in his mantra, "more of Him, less of me."
This two-part episode is a powerful exploration of faith, sharing, and the love that sustains us through life’s toughest moments. Tune in to hear Brian’s inspiring story and be encouraged in your own faith journey.
