During the six years it took to create the powerful documentary, SEND PROOF, Elijah Stephens had to repeatedly ask himself this question: "On my deathbed, do I want my story to be that I knew I was called to do this thing, it got hard and I stopped, or that I persevered and finished, despite the setbacks and challenges?" In this episode, Elijah shares his experiences of working through PTSD, overcoming fear, the differences between intellectual and emotional belief, and the importance of growing in faith through small, daily acts of obedience; all of which helped him...
