In this episode of The Journey Inward, Austin and Cody sit down with Clyde, who shares his deeply personal journey through faith, loss, and rediscovering himself. Growing up in a family marked by addiction, his parents' struggles, and the devastating loss of his father to suicide, Clyde carried years of grief, guilt, shame, and questions about his purpose and beliefs. Eventually, he found himself confronting his own darkest moments and asking whether life was worth continuing.

Clyde shares how personal development, profound spiritual experiences, and a changing understanding of love helped him move from searching for something outside himself to discovering what he could offer the world. Together, they explore perfectionism, the stories that shape our identity, and the possibility that we don't need to fix ourselves to be worthy of love.

What if the mess isn't something to escape, but part of what makes life beautiful? Join us for an honest conversation about healing, meaning, and learning to embrace the journey.

In this episode, Austin Soderquist and Cody Sorenson sit down together again to reflect on where their journeys have taken them since their last recorded conversation in 2024. Neither of them could have predicted the mountains, valleys, questions, challenges, and discoveries that would come along the way.

They talk openly about faith, doubt, spirituality, perfectionism, being misunderstood, healing, questioning long-held beliefs, and learning to be okay with not having everything figured out. They explore what it means to listen to the different parts of ourselves, make room for different perspectives, and allow people to walk their own journeys.

Along the way, they discover a common thread: the journey itself may be more important than the destination.

What if we stopped trying so hard to get to the next place, find the perfect answer, or become the person we think we’re supposed to be—and instead became present with where we are right now?

What if there is meaning in the mess?

This is not a conversation between two people who have arrived. It’s a conversation between two people who are still walking.

The journey continues.

We talk about unexpected spiritual connections, the loneliness of voicing honest doubts within a religious community, and the search for truth without pretending to have all the answers. Along the way, we consider whether faith is less about holding tightly to certainty and more about staying open—to love, connection, and the possibility that our journey is far greater than we ever imagined.

Press play for an honest, heartfelt conversation about questioning, growing, and finding meaning in the spaces between belief and doubt.
