Zach reflects on his wife Jill’s frightening medical crises after giving birth. Through those experiences, they share what carried them through, why fear is a natural response, and how faith reframes even the hardest situations. They discuss what it really means to be “whole” in Christ and turn to legacy, family, and moments of weakness that can lead to deeper purpose and stronger faith.
