54:21Now PlayingIn this episode of The Faith Roundtable, Josh Burtram sits down with Dr. Ed Newton, Lead Pastor of Community Bible Church in San Antonio and author of Why Not You? Believing What God Believes About You.
Ed shares his remarkable journey—from growing up as the hearing child of deaf parents to battling imposter syndrome while stepping into leadership at one of the nation’s largest churches. He opens up about identity, insecurity, depression, and how God reshaped the way he sees himself and his calling.
Together, Josh and Ed explore what it means to trust God’s calling even when you feel unqualified, how to separate identity from politics and performance, and why faithfulness matters more than fame or platform.
If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, comparison, or the fear that you’re not enough, this conversation is a reminder that God didn’t make a mistake when He made you—and He’s not finished with you yet.
