Navigating Beyond the Scars

Life rarely moves in a straight line. For many believers, the hardest thing about pressing toward the future is that the past keeps pulling them back—its wounds, its questions, and its unfinished business demand attention. Navigating Beyond the Scars invites audiences into an honest, hope-filled conversation about what it truly takes to stop looking backward and start straining toward what lies ahead. Jackson TerKeurst knows this journey in a way few people do. Born in West Africa, he survived war, displacement, and profound family trauma before finding a new home and a new family in America. His story is not merely one of survival—it is a testimony of faith, forgiveness, and the God who connects every dot.
