What do you do when God feels distant — and you’re tired of pretending everything’s fine?

In this powerful episode, pastor and author Levi Lusko opens up about battling anxiety, grief, and a personal midlife crisis — all while leading a church and appearing to “have it all together.” He talks honestly about the danger of faking fine, the pressure to hide pain, and the spiritual breakthrough that comes when we bring our wounds into the light.

If you’ve been putting on a brave face, going through the motions, or feeling like God is far away, this conversation will remind you: you don’t have to pretend to be okay — and you’re not alone.
