In this powerful episode, we sit down with Dylan Verdun Sullivan, author of Kiss by Death, for an honest conversation about survival, faith, and the life-changing power of God’s grace.
Born with club feet that required multiple surgeries to realign and carrying deep wounds of abandonment, Dylan’s life was marked by pain from an early age. At 18, after contracting a deadly disease and falling into a coma, he had a life-altering encounter with Jesus that changed everything.
Dylan shares his ongoing journey of healing—wrestling with self-worth, the father wound, addiction, and learning to rest in grace rather than striving. This is not a polished testimony, but a real story of redemption, hope, and discovering that God’s grace is sufficient, even at our lowest.
If you’ve ever felt broken, unseen, or “not enough,” this episode is for you.
