Released October 29, 2026 · With Mac and The Rev



Betrayal. Conflict. Faith that feels a long way off. Not exactly light listening.


This week Mac and The Rev sit down with Coach Stu. He talks about strained relationships, the changes he’s wrestling with, and the weight he’s been carrying. He’s honest about how betrayal hurt, what questions it left behind, and why God can feel distant when life gets heavy.


No tidy fix here. Just a guy feeling seen, some real courage, and a few small steps toward healing and reconnection.


Pull up a chair. It’s okay if you need a minute.


In this episode


  • How betrayal and conflict leave marks, and the questions that follow

  • Why faith can feel distant in hard seasons

  • What it means to feel seen

  • The courage to be vulnerable, and small steps toward healing and reconnection


This one is for you if


“My faith community chewed me up.”
