Of Trials and Truth

In this powerful episode, Of Trials and Truth, we sit down with Ross Smith to hear a story forged in the crucible of war. Deployed overseas in the late 2000s, Ross entered the battlefield without a firm foundation of faith—but what he encountered there would change him forever.

Amid uncertainty, danger, and the weight of life-and-death moments, something began to shift. By the time Ross returned home, Scripture had found its way onto every piece of gear he carried—a visible reminder of an internal transformation.

This conversation explores how trials can strip away what is shallow and reveal what is true. It’s a story of searching, wrestling, and ultimately discovering faith in the most unlikely of places.

If you’ve ever wondered how hardship can shape belief, or how God meets us in our darkest moments, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
