What happens when your public faith looks strong, but privately you're falling apart?
In Episode 43 of From Day Three, Emmanuel sits down with Aaron Nayagam, Head of Mission at Fusion, for a deeply personal conversation about faith, identity, mental health, calling and encountering Jesus.
Aaron shares what it was like growing up as a pastor's son, struggling with addiction and depression while maintaining the appearance of a committed Christian, and the night an encounter with Jesus changed everything.
He also opens up about leaving university to pursue his calling, trusting God for provision, experiencing devastating loss and discovering that following Jesus doesn't mean life will be free from suffering.
Together, they explore what God is doing among young people, the importance of intergenerational church community and why hope remains even in the darkest seasons.
A conversation about taking off the mask, finding genuine freedom and continuing to live from day three.
