    Epilogue | Still Running

    This season told one story, but the road doesn’t end there. In this epilogue, I reflect on what it means to keep moving toward Jesus after surrender. Through grief, faith, family, ministry, and unfinished healing. Not a conclusion, but a pause before the journey continues.

    Ep. 5 | I Came Running

    Saying yes to Jesus didn’t erase grief or make life easier. This episode explores what changed underneath it all, forgiveness that stayed steady, grace that didn’t pull away, and a life slowly turning toward Jesus one step at a time. The running didn’t end. It finally found its direction.

    Ep. 4 | He Wrapped Me in Forgiveness

    Surrender didn’t come with explanations. It came with grace. This episode tells the story of coming back to Jesus, discovering forgiveness that wasn’t earned, and learning how faith and grief can exist at the same time.

    Ep. 3 | Hope Began to Call

    My son’s diagnosis brought prayer back before confidence or certainty did. This episode sits in fear, anger, and unanswered cries. It’s about praying again while still feeling far away, and the belief that grace might no longer be available. In loving memory of Jasper Allen Dean Swafford, whose life and loss shaped this journey. To infinity and beyond.

    Ep. 2 | I Chased Another Flame

    Distance never stays empty. As faith lost its weight, influence from friends, culture, and temptation began filling the space. This episode explores how drift turns into direction, truth becomes flexible, and God slowly gets downplayed.

    Ep. 1 | I Knew the Songs from Sunday

    I grew up in church and knew all the words, but faith was something I repeated long before I learned how to trust. This episode begins at the start of the story. Before rebellion, before loss, before surrender. It’s about knowing about God without really knowing Him, and how distance often begins quietly, not dramatically.

    Trailer | I Came Running

    What do you do when you still want Jesus… but don’t know how to come back? I Came Running is my story of faith, grief, doubt, and the grace that met me when I least expected it. This season follows my journey from knowing the songs of church and drifting away, to surrendering my life to Christ in the middle of unimaginable loss. If you’ve ever thought, “I waited too long,” “I messed this up,” or “God wouldn’t want me now,” this podcast is for you. Grace is still calling. And the door is still open. New episodes every Tuesday.
