A note before this: this reflection is personal, and it's meant to be — this is the one slot in the week where first-person testimony belongs.
On May 13, 2021, I died.
And Jesus sent me back. He said, "There's still so much for you to do."
The Questions I Can't Answer
People ask me about that day all the time. They want to know what I saw. What it felt like. Why I came back when other people don't. Whether I can explain it.
Most of it, I can't. I've tried. I don't have tidy answers about why, or how, or what it all means. If you were hoping I'd come back with a full explanation of eternity, I'm sorry to disappoint you.
The One Thing I Can Say
But here's what I do have, and it's the most honest sentence I know how to say: I know Somebody.
I met Him. He knew my name before I said a word. And everything I've built since — every playlist, every theme, every Monday morning — comes from that one sentence. Not from having the answers. From knowing Him.
When Words Come Harder
These days, words come harder for me than they used to. Some days I reach for a sentence and it isn't there. And I've found out something about this week's Position 2, THE CALL, that I never fully understood before.
His name is enough.
On the days I can't find the sentence, I can still find His name. And He still comes running. Every time. That's not a theory to me anymore. That's an ordinary Tuesday.
Why This Matters for You
That's what this whole week has been leading to. Today's finale is about sitting across from someone who's hurting and not having the answers — and saying something anyway. I want you to know: you don't need the answers. I don't have them either. You just need to know Somebody.
And He knows your name.
