About this listen

Once a father with dreams, a man of faith, and purpose, he now lives alone in a 29-foot RV on the edge of Abilene, Texas—estranged from his children, estranged from himself, and estranged from God. Haunted by regret, exhausted by failure, and on the verge of surrender, Michael is ready to disappear into the silence of it all… until a stranger meets him on a bridge and utters one phrase that cuts through the noise: “You’re not alone in this.”

What follows is a story both quiet and powerful. As Michael wrestles with his pain and isolation, dreams begin to surface—vivid, spiritual, and unshakable. He sees the man again. Hears the words again. Encounters moments so holy, so surreal, that even the neighborhood dogs respond in awe. And still, the fight within him rages.

Through a fog of memories, broken prayers, and bitter truths, Michael sets out—one small step at a time—to reconnect with his daughter, to walk through the doors of a church he abandoned, and to search for the God he’s not sure still hears him.

This is not a story of overnight healing or easy answers. Edge of Light is a raw, emotional journey through darkness, loneliness, and quiet grace. It’s about a man who didn’t find peace on a mountaintop, but in an RV park, in the middle of nowhere, after years of running.

A man who nearly gave up, but didn’t. A man who reached for the light—and found it still reaching for him.
