What does it look like to live entirely by grace—and find purpose on a different continent?
In Episode 8 of the Real Stories Podcast, host Jordan Silvester sits down with David Griffith, a former Canadian pastor turned missionary and educator, whose life journey has taken him from Chatham-Kent to the villages and classrooms of Africa.
David opens up about faith, personal loss, identity crises, and the unexpected calling that led him to Uganda and Kenya, where he discovered a life defined not by security but by trust and relationships.
🎙️ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why David believes “that which holds your bricks together is grace”
How growing up bicultural shaped his faith and worldview
His transition from 13 years of pastoring in Canada to teaching in Uganda
The challenges and beauty of starting over after personal loss
What he learned couch-surfing and living by faith in Nairobi
Raising a family in Kenya, navigating medical challenges, and embracing community
Why small-group and relational ministry can be more impactful than megachurches
This is a heartfelt conversation about resilience, calling, and choosing a life of service and trust.
