S3 E21: We All Mess Up: Finding Grace in Our Brokenness
Episode 21
Friday, 20 February, 2026
In this deeply personal episode, Dan Tuma shares his journey from childhood prayers to a life-changing encounter with God at a Christian youth camp in northern Michigan. Through candid stories and honest reflection, Dan explores Romans 5 and the profound truth that while sin entered the world through Adam's disobedience, grace and eternal life come through Jesus Christ's obedience. Dan recounts how his faith moved from his head to his heart while counseling high school teenagers, how God spoke directly to him during a worship night at camp, and how nearly 12 years of returning to that camp—plus his involvement in Christ Renews —taught him that grace isn't earned but freely given. Despite feeling limited by his past and brokenness, Dan discovered that Jesus had been with him all along, walking beside him through every high and low. This episode is an invitation to recognize that we are all broken, beautiful creations desperately in need of a Savior—and that his grace surpasses everything. --- A Midland native, Dan Tuma is both a Special Education teacher and a business owner - doing what he loves working with children at Central Park Elementary, and providing photo and videography services through his company, Dan Tuma Media. Dan is a proud graduate of both Delta College (Associate's Degree in Electronic Media Broadcasting) and Ferris State University (Bachelor's of Science Degree in Television and Digital Media Production). Dan deeply values spending time with his family, which includes his golden retriever best friend, Joey. Dan is involved in the Men’s Christ Renews team at Blessed Sacrament Parish, and also volunteers at the Children's Grief Center of the Great Lakes Bay Region. Dan is passionate about many things in life - including his faith, his Children's Televison Program, “Mr. Tuma & Friends”, future chaplaincy opportunities (for hospitals/hospice), and also, later in his life, working in Memory Care/Assisted Living facilities in some capacity. Last, but not least, Dan is passionate about his favorite TV show, The Chosen!
