What do you do when your parent is tragically taken from you? How do you keep going after life keeps hitting you again and again?
In this gripping episode, Jeremy Swanson shares the story he’s held onto for nearly a decade—starting with the day his father was suddenly and violently taken from him. What followed was a spiral of unimaginable loss, heartbreak, and rock bottom moments that tested every part of who he was: as a son, a husband, a father, and a man of faith.
From wrestling with rage and responsibility to rebuilding his life piece by piece—Jeremy’s story is one of raw honesty, pain, and purpose.
If you’ve ever felt like life won’t let up, this episode will meet you in the depths and remind you that survival is only the beginning.
