In this episode, Dominic talks with artist and creative leader Calvin Nowell about what it looks like to walk through grief while holding on to God. Calvin shares about losing his entire family within a year, the impact of church hurt, and the slow process of healing through counseling, community, and worship.

They talk about what it means to live honestly with pain, how worship can become a place of quiet restoration, and how creativity plays a role in making space for others to heal.

Calvin is the founder of Aware Worship, The Choir Room, and Cmon Creative, and has worked behind the scenes with artists like CeCe Winans, Stevie Wonder, and Tori Kelly. His journey includes both loss and grace—and offers something meaningful for anyone learning to breathe again after heartache.
