Kirk Cameron joined me for a conversation that hit deeper than I expected. If you're thinking of the teen idol from Growing Pains, sure, that's part of his story. But today, Kirk’s a husband, a dad of six (four adopted), a new grandfather, and someone who’s been unafraid to speak out about his faith and values.

This wasn’t just a conversation—it was a reminder that purpose, connection, and peace of mind are choices. Kirk doesn’t preach; he shares. And that’s why this episode matters.
