After a life-altering accident left him unable to care for himself, Preston Sawyers Jr. found himself face-to-face with something he could no longer outrun: depression. Lying in a hospital bed with no distractions left, he began confronting the lies he had built his identity on — providing, physical strength, independence, and pride.

In this episode, Preston shares the “card table” process he developed: instead of avoiding the darkness, he invited it to sit down, identified the lie it was telling, and asked God what was true. One by one, the accusations lost their power.

The conversation expands into responsibility, worldview, and the idea of “ultimate truth.” Preston explains why he believes wisdom requires a stable foundation beyond feelings or cultural trends, and why stepping into reluctant or uncomfortable moments often leads to growth on the other side.

If you’ve ever wrestled with identity, depression, or the fear of stepping forward, this episode offers an honest look at what it means to confront the lie and build on what you believe is true.
