In this powerful first part of a two-part conversation, Stewart sits down with Sam Hearn—a community leader and pastor whose deep compassion for others is rooted in his own lived experience. In Part 1, Sam shares openly about his upbringing, including poverty, generational trauma, family violence, and mental health struggles.
Despite these hardships, Sam’s story is filled with moments of beauty, hope, and a growing awareness of God’s presence, even in the mess.
This episode explores the formative impact of trauma in childhood, how faith can evolve through pain, and what it looks like to begin a journey of healing.
