About the Host

Evan Stone is a faith-driven author, speaker, and podcast host who writes from the trenches of real life—addiction, divorce, betrayal, spiritual awakening, and redemption. His debut book, To Die Is To Live, offers raw, unfiltered reflections and journal entries from the hardest season of his life, when everything he built collapsed, and God began to rebuild him from the inside out.

Evan’s writing resonates with readers looking for more than church clichés—people who are burned out on performance-based religion and desperate to know if God still shows up in hotel rooms, divorce, broken bank accounts, and late-night prayers. He writes for the remnant: the misunderstood, the called, the ones who don’t fit in, and never really wanted to.

A former corporate executive turned storyteller, Evan now uses his voice to encourage others through his podcast and his growing catalog of Christ-centered resources. He lives in Colorado with his children and the woman God placed in his life when he finally laid his own down.
