Less than a year into his studies at Georgia Tech, Peyton Wells found himself in the middle of a spiritual and existential crisis: Had he been living for the wrong things? Did God have something better in store for him? That search for answers led Peyton to make the difficult decision to transfer to Highlands College to pursue a career in ministry, a choice that strengthened his faith and taught him valuable lessons. This week, Peyton joins Nate Dewberry to share the lessons he’s learned along the way, from the daily need to “put on God’s armor,” to the power of being open and transparent, to the unique freedom that comes when we let God take control.
