In this episode of Be the IF, Jarrad Walker challenges the quiet hesitation that keeps so many capable, qualified people stuck—waiting for permission they already have.
This episode marks a personal milestone as Jarrad introduces his upcoming book, The IF Inside, and unpacks one of its most powerful questions:
What if your current struggle is actually the opportunity of a lifetime?
If you’ve ever felt like you’re “almost ready,” like you just need one more confirmation, one more credential, or one more sign—this conversation is for you.
Inside this episode, you’ll explore:

• Why struggle often disguises qualification
• How authority is formed through endurance, not permission
• The difference between feeling ready and being prepared
• Why decision—not motivation—is the real breakthrough
• How what’s already in your hand may be the very thing God intends to use

Through the story of Moses, the concept of loop learning, and a powerful redefinition of authority and decision-making, this episode exposes a hard truth:
You’re not waiting because you’re unqualified.You’re waiting because you haven’t decided.
If you know there’s something inside of you that’s been cultivated, tested, and refined—but you’ve been delaying the moment you step fully into it—this episode is your wake-up call.
Because somebody is waiting on you.And it just might be you.

🎙️ Be the IF. Decide. Show up. Walk in it.

You ain’t new to this. You’re true to this. It’s just time to sound like it.

If you have the ability to change someone’s life with your story, your message, or your lived experience—and you’re not using it—you might be a SCAM.

SCAM stands for Secretly Carrying A Message.

In this episode, Jarrad Walker challenges the idea that silence is harmless. Many people are trusted, valued, and listened to, yet still withhold the very message they’ve earned the right to speak. Empathy without direction may feel good in the moment, but it often leaves people stuck.

This conversation explores the cost of staying silent, the responsibility that comes with lived experience, and the difference between carrying a message privately and activating it intentionally. Jarrad breaks down the four levels of identity and reveals how people unknowingly sabotage their own growth—and the growth of others—by refusing to unmute their message.

This episode is an invitation to stop hiding, stop downplaying what you carry, and stop scamming yourself.

You ain’t new to this. You’re true to this. It’s just time to sound like it.

What does it actually mean to be the IF?

In this first episode, Jarrad Walker breaks down a simple but powerful truth: an if is a condition that must be met for purpose to be fulfilled—and many times, you are the condition someone else needs.

Through lived experience, family, faith, health, and hard decisions, Jarrad shares how intentionality changed the trajectory of his life and why silence is often the greatest misuse of earned authority. This episode is not about theory. It’s about recognizing the value of what you’ve already outlasted and deciding to speak from it.

If you’ve ever felt hesitant to share your story, unsure if your voice matters, or caught waiting for permission you don’t actually need, this conversation is for you.
Because you’re not new to this.You’re true to this.It’s just time to sound like it.

You ain’t new to this. You’re true to this. It’s just time to sound like it.
