What happens when a professional athlete, police officer, and MMA fighter is suddenly forced to "crawl" forward? For the last several months, Sean Kennard has been fighting a battle with no name. Losing nearly 50lbs to a mystery illness while doctors offer no answers.

In this raw and honest episode of the March or Die show, Jeremy Stalnecker and Sean Kennard pull back the curtain on the "sacred space" of suffering that most of our culture tries to avoid at all costs.

The hardest truth? A faith that has not been tested is a faith that cannot be trusted. We often believe God is only good when He answers our earthly pleas, but true intimacy is found when everything else is stripped away and all you have left is the ability to cry out to the Lord. If you are currently in a season of uncertainty, learn why clarity is not required for faith and why the lack of it might be exactly what you need to please God.
