Clay Crossan joins Pastor Jeff to share how God met him in a season when success still felt empty. After chasing baseball, business, and comfort, Clay hit a breaking point with health scares, anxiety, and the fear of what comes after this life. That honest crisis sparked a deep search, and through Scripture, honest questions, and resources like Tim Keller’s, The Reason for God, Clay finally surrendered to Jesus and experienced God’s real presence and peace.

As Clay and his wife, Allie, grew in faith, the Lord reshaped their family through community and discipleship. Clay describes how surrounding themselves with other believers helped him become a better husband, father, and friend, and how obedience over time created “ripple effects” as friends and family encountered Christ too. He encourages listeners to share faith the way we share what we love, with humility, compassion, and a willingness to meet people where they are.

Clay also explains Alpha, a welcoming, eight-week space for people to ask honest questions about Jesus, the Bible, and faith without pressure. He challenges believers to pray, listen for the Spirit’s prompting, and invite someone to take a next step, because when we live surrendered, every day really does matter.
