Still Standing with Clarence E. Stowers, Jr.
Still Standing is for the one everyone leans on and nobody checks on.
Each episode names a weight you've been carrying without saying it out loud: the grief you never finished, the yes you can't take back, the role you outgrew but still show up for. Then I help you decide what to put down and what to keep.
No hype. No sermon. Straight talk from someone still standing after thirty years of carrying other people's worst days.
About the host
Clarence E. Stowers, Jr. is Senior Pastor of Mars Hill Anywhere and the writer behind The Second Act.
For thirty years, he has been the one people call when their life falls apart, while carrying losses of his own: the death of his firstborn son, the death of his father, and a church transition that cost him relationships he thought were permanent.
His work explores what carrying everyone else actually costs, and how to let go of what was never yours without dropping what is.
He writes every Tuesday at clarencestowers.substack.com and teaches from one conviction:
Survival is a credential.
