486. Breaking The Surface With DJ Hernandez

The Lion Within Us - Leadership for Christian Men

Isolation can be a formidable adversary, especially when it comes to maintaining faith and identity. Our guest, DJ Hernandez, takes us on a compelling journey from Portland to Morocco and back, navigating cultural and spiritual challenges that shaped his worldview. Raised in a Christian household, DJ's struggles with societal expectations and identity crises reveal the profound impact of community—or the lack of it. Through powerful anecdotes, DJ shares how starting a Christian club in high school and embracing genuine connections can be a sanctuary in times of loneliness.
