From Isolation to Community: Benjamin Crawshaw's Unexpected Story of Redemption

In this Inspirational People interview on the Share Life podcast, I'm speaking with Benjamin Crawshaw, co-author of the recently published book The Path: What if the Way of Jesus is Different Than You Thought? (affiliate link)

Benjamin and I were connected through our mutual friend, Leslie Haynes, who led my globalx mission trip to Honduras in 2023. Benjamin serves as the Director of Member Engagement for Trueface. Previously, he headed up the content development for The Rocket Company, a church resourcing organization, and led the student initiative (XP3 Students & High School Camp) at the reThink Group. Before this, Benjamin also served as the Creative Director of the High School Ministry at North Point Community Church. He holds a degree in English from Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee.

In this conversation, Benjamin shares his raw and honest journey through burnout, divorce, and rediscovering his faith. Learn how he rebuilt his identity beyond external validation, embraced the power of grief, and now helps others, especially Gen Z, encounter Jesus in a fresh, authentic way. Discover practical insights on finding your true self and building genuine connections.
