From Hidden to Healed (Part 2): Leading After Trauma, Living Without Shame

In this follow-up to the most listened-to episode on Doing Business with Jesus, Mark VanderWal returns to talk more openly—and more boldly—about his journey through childhood sexual abuse, high-functioning anxiety, identity struggles, and the quiet fear of being seen as weak.

But this time, the focus isn’t on what happened.
It’s on what God did with it.

Mark shares what healing looks like in real time, how surrender—not strength—was the turning point, and why he no longer regrets any of his story. He also speaks directly to the men still hiding in silence, the wives who want to help, and the leaders who are quietly breaking under the weight of performance.

This episode is real. It’s raw. And it’s filled with hope.

Because healing is possible.
Freedom is real.
And you don’t have to hide anymore.
