The Comeback Couch MVPs: How a Pastry Chef’s Comeback Feeds His Faith with Kevin Zurmuehlen

We’re revisiting some of our all-time favorite episodes to wrap up 2024! 

In this elisode, Kaitlin chats with a military-officer-turned-pastry-chef about his faith and how it led him to opening a bakery. He tells the story of how his dream bakery came to be and how he uses his military experience every single day to make pastries. 

Kevin talks about coming back from his daughter’s cancer diagnosis and learning that he has to have “one day at a time” faith to fully rely on God.
