The Matthew West Podcast
About this episode

Country music star and Grand Ole Opry member Craig Morgan shares an incredibly raw, honest, and ultimately hope-filled conversation with me about his journey. He opens up about how that painful season taught him that "sometimes our pain is for other people" and how God can bring purpose from our deepest valleys. This is a story about faith, family, and the amazing truth that even when we don't understand His plan, God's work is getting done through us. Let’s go to the Story House!
