In this raw solo episode, Jeff shares the miraculous story of what God did on a mission trip over his 44th birthday — and why getting uncomfortable as a dad is exactly where God wants to meet you. Plus, he reads the beloved story You Are Special by Max Lucado and shares why it changed everything inside that jail cell. TAKEAWAYS Worship often precedes breakthrough. When darkness and resistance filled that jail hallway, it was worship that flipped the entire environment from hostility to God's peace. Getting outside your comfort zone reveals places in your heart where God wants to bring healing — you can't grow staying in the comfort loop. The marks the world gives you — and the marks you give yourself — don't have to stick. What matters is what your Maker thinks of you. Teenage young men who dream about being dads and starting families are growing up in homes where fatherhood is cast as a vision worth pursuing. You are special because God made you, and He doesn't make mistakes. That truth changes everything — for you and for your kids. Top 5 Quotes "Worship released peace. Worship flipped the environment of that space. It radically shifted things — worship." "Getting uncomfortable going, serving — getting to new places often reveals new places of our hearts." "We can stay in a comfort loop and continue to stay comfortable — or we can go." "I'm dreaming about being a dad, starting a family. I loved hearing that answer from teenage young men." "The marks from the world don't have to stick. Walk in freedom and know your true identity." GUEST This is a solo episode with Jeff Zaugg, founder and executive director of DadAwesome.
