What if the breakthrough you've been praying for begins with the courage to be vulnerable?

Most people keep their faith hidden at work because they're afraid of being judged. Jake Larson chose a different path and discovered that authentic faith doesn't push people away. It invites them into conversations that can change lives.

In this powerful episode of Building the Inner You, Jake shares the deeply personal journey of living boldly for Christ in the workplace while walking through one of life's most painful seasons: infertility. With honesty, humility, and hope, he reveals how God met him in grief, strengthened his marriage, and transformed suffering into purpose.

You'll discover:

* How to share your faith at work with confidence and humility
* Why vulnerability is one of the greatest strengths a leader can have
* How God works through disappointment, unanswered prayers, and uncertainty
* Practical ways to have meaningful spiritual conversations without being preachy
* How faith can become your anchor when life feels overwhelming

Jake's story is a reminder that following Jesus isn't about having all the answers. It's about trusting God in the middle of the questions.

If you've ever felt pressure to separate your faith from your career, struggled through loss, or wondered where God is in your hardest moments, this conversation will encourage and challenge you to live with greater courage and deeper trust.

Your story isn't over. Your pain isn't wasted. And your faith may be the light someone else desperately needs.
