Summary

Worship leader and pastor Tauren Wells sits down with Pastor Bobby for a raw, honest conversation on calling, character, and the long game of faith. They talk about growing up in dysfunction, breaking generational patterns through Jesus, using church for healing instead of numbing, discerning your purpose through “design, desire, and dread,” and staying humble and grounded while balancing ministry, music, and family.
