He Never Gave Up on His Abusive Father: Mark Wensley's Story
49m | Sep 30, 2026What does it look like to trust God through family wounds, unanswered questions, and seasons of suffering? Phil Callaway sits down with his good friend Mark Wensley for an honest conversation about fatherhood, faith, work, friendship, and hope.
Mark shares about growing up with a violent, alcoholic father, longing for a relationship with him, and the difficult journey of sharing the gospel with him. It wasn't easy, but God was at work powerfully in his dad's life. He also reflects on marriage, parenting, grandparenting, and walking through seasons of his children's suffering, marked by questions, despair, prayer, and a deepening awareness of God’s presence.
Along the way, Mark and Phil talk about the mercy found in Jesus, integrity in business, the friends who help us through dark valleys, and the kind of legacy that points beyond ourselves to what God has done. This is a candid and encouraging conversation about trusting God through brokenness and uncertainty, and finding hope that overflows.
