Episode notes
What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your circumstances... but the fact that you haven't forgiven yourself? Pastor Judah Smith has spent decades helping people navigate faith, purpose, pain, relationships, and the struggles that come with being human. But this conversation isn't about religion. It's about anxiety, lawsuits, forgiveness, love, self-worth, and finding peace in a world that constantly pulls you in every direction. In this powerful episode of Digital Social Hour, Judah Smith joins Sean Kelly to discuss mental health, panic attacks, agoraphobia, lawsuits, public criticism, marriage, parenting, forgiveness, faith, free will, and the lessons he's learned after more than 25 years of marriage. Sean opens up about battling anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and a lawsuit that nearly destroyed everything he had built. Judah shares his own experiences with criticism, public life, and the challenge of staying positive when not everyone likes you.
