In recent years, Michael McLean has encountered profound lessons about a father\u2019s love. Although seemingly a shining light of optimism and success known for his work in the Latter-day Saint film and music space, McLean grappled with chronic depression, fostering self-doubt for an extended period. Nearly two decades ago, when his son came out and conveyed discontent about his upbringing, McLean's deepest insecurities seemed validated. Moreover, the silence from a perceived absence of God amplified his distress. On this week\u2019s episode, we discuss McLean\u2019s Forgotten Carols but, more importantly, how a loving Father never forgets His son.
\u201cThe Atonement is not some cool thing that happened back in Gethsemane. It\u2019s ongoing. He\u2019s not stopping His work until He\u2019s got us all healed\u2014until He\u2019s brought us all home.\u201d \u2014Michael McLean
