In the captivating premiere of You Can Handle the Truth, Baby Boomer Kathy takes us on a wild, heartfelt journey through the '60s, '70s, and '80s—growing up without a spiritual foundation and searching for something deeper. From questions about God to Broadway and a guru, her search for truth takes unexpected turns. But one night, the intercessory prayers of a friend's Bible study change everything.
With Gen Z daughter Annabelle keeping the story sharp, this mother-daughter duo delivers a candid, real dive into the origins of Kathy’s unshakable faith. This is just Part 1 of the saga—stay tuned for more. Buckle up—this is a story you won’t forget.
