In this episode of A Healthy Man Podcast, Shane sits down with longtime friend and seasoned pastor Paul Tidwell for an honest conversation about faith, purpose, and what it really means to “run the race with endurance.”

At 72 years old, Paul has walked through many different seasons of life and ministry, from his early roots in the church and time in the Navy to decades of pastoral leadership and now discovering what God has for him in this next chapter.

Together, Shane and Paul talk about how our calling can change as we move through different seasons of life, why following God isn’t always about finding one big lifelong purpose, and how we can learn to recognize His voice through prayer, obedience, Scripture, and simply being willing to listen.

Whether you’re young and still trying to figure out what God is calling you toward, or you’ve been walking with Him for decades and wondering what’s next, Paul brings a lifetime of wisdom to this conversation.

The race changes. The seasons change. But the invitation is the same: keep showing up, keep listening, and keep running with Him.

That decision led him to start an organization that employs men and women returning from incarceration, offering hope, dignity, and a fresh start through meaningful work.

Along the way, they challenge the labels we often place on one another and explore what Scripture has to say about true discipleship.
