From Chaos to Calling: Lawton Outlaw’s Journey to Peace and Purpose
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this powerful episode, we sit down with graphic designer and skateboard ministry leader Lawton Outlaw for an honest conversation about struggle, surrender, and redemption.
Lawton shares his journey through personal battles, internal chaos, and the search for identity—opening up about the moments that nearly defined him and the faith that ultimately transformed him. What began as pain and uncertainty became a calling rooted in Christ.
Today, Lawton is channeling his creativity and passion into meaningful work with kids in skate parks in Texas, meeting them where they are, building trust, and creating spaces where faith, authenticity, and hope intersect. Through skateboard ministry, mentorship, and design, he is helping the next generation discover peace, purpose, and belonging.
This episode is about more than skateboarding. It’s about:
- Overcoming hidden struggles
- Finding peace in faith
- Turning your pain into purpose
- Leading the next generation with authenticity
If you’ve ever wrestled with your past, questioned your worth, or wondered how God could use your story, this conversation will encourage and challenge you.
Your struggle doesn’t disqualify you. It may be preparing you.
