Welcome to the Stand Up Dude Podcast! In this compelling episode, hosts Tim Bisagno and Stewart White pull back the curtain on the real power of your story—regardless of how “ordinary” or “extraordinary” it might seem. Are you wrestling with doubt, stuck in shame, or simply wondering if your life truly matters to God? You’re not alone—and this conversation is for you.

Join us as Stewart White shares his raw, honest testimony of seeking meaning, wrestling with brokenness, and discovering how Jesus is not just present in dramatic “movie-moment” conversions, but in the everyday struggles, hurts, and victories of real life. From growing up in church to facing winding roads of identity, trauma, and faith, Stewart reveals how God’s grace is bigger than our performances, and why every man’s story is meant to glorify the only Hero: Jesus.

What You’ll Experience in This Episode:

• The myth of the “boring” testimony—why every true encounter with Jesus is powerful and unique
• How childhood wounds, instability, and shame can shape us—and how Jesus transforms those places for His glory
• The search for the meaning of life—and why the answer is not more effort, but deeper surrender
• The beauty and freedom of living by grace, not by striving or religious performance
• How God uses our weaknesses and brokenness to display His strength and love
• Real talk about trauma, sexual brokenness, and the lies we believe—plus the road to healing and freedom
• Why your entire life—not just your Sunday mornings—belongs to Jesus, and how that changes everything
• Simple, biblical truth about how to start (or deepen) your relationship with Christ—and why it’s the foundation for real purpose and peace
• Practical next steps to walk with Jesus, get connected, and begin living out your testimony today
Whether you’re feeling unseen, weighed down by the past, or unsure if faith is worth it, this episode will meet you where you are and help you see how the ordinary moments of your journey can be used for extraordinary impact.

Discover the deep joy, rest, and power that comes when you stop compartmentalizing God and start letting Him write your story.
