January 29, 2026

64:01

What does it mean to be a man in today’s culture—strong but silent, successful but stressed, respected but restless? In this powerful episode of Landmark Stories, we sit down with Nate Evans Jr.—husband, father, speaker, and leader—who shares a raw and hope-filled journey through grief, trauma, depression, and the pressure to perform. Nate opens up about reaching a breaking point with suicidal thoughts, how God used relationships as a lifeline, and how therapy and faith in Jesus became part of his healing. This conversation addresses the stigma surrounding men’s mental health, the danger of performance-based identity, and the freedom found in being “saved by grace.” Nate also shares the heart behind Get to Worthy, a mental and emotional wellness movement helping people pursue healing, resilience, and peace without shame. If you are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, or emotional exhaustion—or you love someone who is—this episode is for you. In this episode: •Men’s mental health and the stigma of vulnerability •Performance, identity, and grace in Christ •Grief, trauma, and choosing resilience •Therapy as a tool God can use for healing •Faith, worthiness, and peace that surpasses understanding Connect with Nate Evans Jr. Website: NateEvansJr.com Movement/Event: Get to Worthy (2026 dates mentioned in episode) About Landmark Stories A landmark is a fixed point of reference—something that guides and tells a story.
