When Life Falls Apart, How Do You Keep Your Faith? with Michael Wright

When Life Falls Apart, How Do You Keep Your Faith? with Michael Wright16 oct.45 min

How do you keep trusting God when life gives you reasons to question everything?

Michael Wright joins Mark Osborne for an honest conversation about grief, addiction, spiritual growth, and becoming a better husband and father.

Michael shares the loss of his daughter to a heroin overdose, a house fire shortly after his ordination, and a near-fatal accident he believes he should never have survived. He also opens up about twenty years of alcoholism and the moment he finally admitted, “I need to be a better dad. I need to be a better husband”—and asked for help.

Together, Mark and Michael explore what it means to move beyond going through the motions and build a faith that shapes everyday life.

In this episode:

• Trusting God through grief and unanswered questions

• Recognizing spiritual stagnation

• Why men struggle to ask for help

• Leading your family through your example

• The difference between practicing what you preach and preaching what you practice

• Finding encouragement and support when life feels overwhelming
