Sometimes the best conversations are the ones you never planned.

In this short episode of Real to Real, I sit down with my daughter Lyla for a conversation that’s sweet, funny, unpredictable, and about as real as it gets. You never quite know what a kid is going to say—and that’s exactly what makes this one so much fun.

It’s a little glimpse into our family, life through the eyes of a 6-year-old, and one of those moments I’m glad we hit record for.

Real life. Real people. Real God. And this time… a very real 6-year-old.

If I could sit down with the 20-year-old version of myself, there are a few things I’d like to tell him.

In this episode of Real to Real, I look back at who I was at 20—what I thought I knew, what I definitely didn’t know, the decisions I made, the mistakes, the wins, and some of the unexpected turns that brought me to where I am today.

We’ll talk about family, faith, marriage, work, music, ministry, success, failure, and learning that sometimes the life you planned isn’t nearly as good as the life God had planned for you.

There are some serious moments, some funny ones, and probably a few things 20-year-old me wouldn’t have wanted to hear.

At 20, I thought I had a lot figured out.

At 43, I’ve figured out just how much I didn’t know.

This is “What I Wish I Could Tell My 20-Year-Old Self.”

Real life. Real people. Real God. This is Real to Real.
