In this deeply personal and emotionally charged episode of Concepts & Conversations, Coach Bryan Thomas revisits one of the most defining moments of his life — March 2, 2013 — the day love ended, and healing began.
Set against the backdrop of a church conference in Lansing, Michigan, Bryan opens up about the silent heartbreak that unfolded in a sacred space. What began as a simple weekend of worship became a confrontation with truth — a face-to-face goodbye with the woman he once believed would be forever.
He takes listeners through the rawness of that moment:
The quiet heartbreak that hid behind the noise of a crowded sanctuary
The painful conversation that marked the end of a two-year love story
The drive home in silence that felt like a funeral for everything he thought love would be
And finally, the unexpected peace that came when he accepted what had already ended
Through vulnerability and reflection, Bryan reminds us that sometimes closure doesn’t come through conversation — it comes through courage.
“That Weekend in Lansing” isn’t just a story about heartbreak; it’s a story about rebirth — about finding the strength to let go, to love yourself again, and to embrace peace after pain.
Whether you’ve just walked away from someone you loved or you’re learning to breathe again after heartbreak, this episode will touch your soul and remind you that letting go isn’t the end — it’s the beginning of healing.
