"I Watched $11 Million Vanish in a Day. Then Someone Reached for Me." (with Nathan Gwilliam)

Decades ago, Nathan Gwilliam was the CEO of a publicly traded dot-com company when the bubble burst and he watched $11 million disappear in a single day. The company was gone. A few nights later, the bookkeeper showed up at his house and quit. He had no money to replace her and no clear idea what to do next. That is the kind of storm that sinks a person. Nathan opens this episode inside a different storm, the fourth watch on the Sea of Galilee, where Peter steps out of the boat, takes his eyes off the Savior, and begins to go under. Three words leave his mouth. Lord, save me. And a hand catches him at once.In this first solo episode of Why We Believe, host Nathan Gwilliam sets aside the interview chair to teach one idea: Jesus Christ is the great lifter, and He asks us to lift each other. Nathan walks through three people who lifted him when he was sinking. His wife Crystal took over the books of a failing company with no experience and no pay, bringing their baby daughter to the office for two years. A former bishop covered a painful mistake without one word of criticism. And a friend named Clark Gilbert, called as an apostle in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in February 2026, lifted him again and again. Nathan closes with a simple invitation: reach for your one person tonight, the way Jesus reached for Peter.Loved this episode?Hit Follow and share it with someone who needs to know the Savior is still reaching for them, even in the fourth watch of the night.
