In this heartwarming episode of The Jar, we had the pleasure of visiting Stephen Wright in his beautiful Flagstaff home, nestled on a hillside with a picturesque view.

Stephen's life journey is a tapestry of experiences that spans multiple locations and spiritual exploration. Born in 1979 in Pittsburgh, his family's journey took them from Ohio to Atlanta to Denver, finally landing in Scottsdale. Stephen humorously shared anecdotes about his move from Atlanta to Denver as a young boy, where he quickly shed his southern accent to adapt to his new surroundings, resulting in a now "vanilla" accent that doesn't give away his origin.

His spiritual journey began in his youth, where he immersed himself in church activities, youth groups, and even music, learning to play the drums and guitar. He fondly remembered his time attending a black church in Decatur, Georgia, a unique and enriching experience that left a lasting impact. As Stephen matured, he started asking deeper questions about Christianity and began exploring other religions, leading to a broader and more profound spirituality.

Stephen's family includes two siblings who are significantly younger. His journey eventually led him to Flagstaff in 2004, initially for a camping trip with old friends. However, during this trip, he found not only a beautiful natural setting but also a sense of community and belonging that inspired him to build his tribe.

In a delightful turn of events, Stephen, who became a father at the tender age of 18, now has the opportunity to savor fatherhood once again, this time with a five-year-old son. The joy on his face as he shared this experience is palpable, highlighting the unique perspective and appreciation that comes with being a father at different stages of life.

Join us as we delve into Stephen's journey through life, his diverse experiences, and his newfound sense of fulfillment and joy in fatherhood. The Jar continues to bring you real conversations with real people, and Stephen's story is a testament to the richness of these conversations.
