In Episode 26 of Faith in Real Life, Nat Crawford and Daniel Coke sit down with Brady Cone, founder of Calibrate Ministries, for a powerful conversation about navigating faith, sexuality, and identity through the lens of biblical truth and grace.
Brady shares his deeply personal story—marked by confusion, shame, and secrecy—and how Jesus Christ brought hope and transformation.

- Shame gives way to transformation through grace.
- Repentance and relational discipleship go hand-in-hand.
- Parents and healthy church relationships matter.
