Pivot Or Die

David Sparks joins host Seth Kaser for an honest conversation about family collapse, hidden shame, suicidal thoughts, forgiveness, miscarriage, marriage strain, workaholism, and learning to trust God when his own strength finally failed.

David grew up in a stable Christian home, but after his father lost his job and battled Lyme disease, the foundation of his family began to crumble. Over time, David wrestled with pornography, hatred toward his father, the loss of financial security, homelessness-adjacent seasons, grief, and the pressure to prove he was worth something.

This episode is about the slow work of God: meeting David in the dark, teaching him forgiveness, providing through community, and bringing him into a quieter life built on faith instead of self-rescue.

Content note: This episode includes discussion of suicidal ideation, pornography, family breakdown, miscarriage, marital strain, and grief.
