Why Not You? Believing What God Believes About You — with Dr. Ed Newton

In this episode of The Faith Roundtable, Josh Burtram sits down with Dr. Ed Newton, Lead Pastor of Community Bible Church in San Antonio and author of Why Not You? Believing What God Believes About You. Ed shares his remarkable journey—from growing up as the hearing child of deaf parents, to battling imposter syndrome while stepping into leadership at one of the nation’s largest churches. He opens up about his struggle with identity, insecurity, and depression, and how God taught him to believe what Heaven already declared to be true. Together, Josh and Ed unpack what it means to trust God’s calling even when you feel unqualified, how to discern identity apart from politics or performance, and why faithfulness matters more than fame. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, calling, or comparison, this conversation will remind you that God didn’t make a mistake when He made you—and He still has more to do through you.
