Carl Martinez, Head of School at Whittier Christian High School, shares how God used unexpected trials to draw his family to faith and shape his calling to Christian education. Through stories of grace, surrender, and God's sovereignty, this conversation is a reminder that Christ's work is not about striving, but resting in what He has already accomplished.
