That Just About Sums It Up Podcast
Story. It’s the most powerful way to communicate. After a 35-year career of speaking with Young Life, Brian Summerall continues to share stories that use humor, scripture, and culture to reveal truth about God. We hope they will find you laughing, while others will possibly bring you to tears. Whether they are stories of family, fame, adventure, pain, loss, miracles, or relationships, all of these stories reveal a God who is extravagant in His love for us.

This one’s for Tiger.
What do Taylor Swift’s headline-making wedding rumors and a once-in-a-lifetime celebrity wedding have in common? In this episode, Brian shares the unbelievable story of how a music-obsessed kid from Richardson, Texas found himself standing in a wedding party surrounded by some of the biggest names in entertainment and attending what was called the “rock concert of the decade.” Along the way, he discovered a powerful truth: when it comes to life’s greatest invitation, it’s not about what you know- it’s about who you know.

In this Christmas edition of That Just About Sums It Up, Brian Summerall takes us back to the glory days of the mall - when food courts were feasts, Spencer’s Gifts was edgy, and Santa lived inside a five-story tree. What starts as a nostalgic trip with his young son becomes a moving parable about guiding the people we love - gently and patiently - towards someone life-changing.
