Built 4 More

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Tyler Wells sits down with Built 4 More to talk openly about loss, injury, identity, fatherhood, pressure, prayer, and the moment God completely redirected his life.

In this conversation, Tyler shares the parts of his story most fans never hear, losing his mom at four years old, the defining game after his grandmother passed, the loneliness of the minor leagues, the anxiety of the big leagues, and the unexpected injury that God used to reshape his marriage, faith, and purpose.

Tyler also breaks down the mindset behind pitching, the shift from reliever to starter, the mental battles athletes rarely discuss, and how becoming a father changed everything about the way he sees baseball.

This episode is raw, honest, and centered on what matters most: faith, character, and calling.

When a UFC Hall of Famer and an NFL quarterback sit down to talk about faith, pain, and redemption, you get more than a sports interview. You get a rescue story.

In this powerful Built 4 More episode, Matt Corral opens up about isolation, identity, and the moment everything shifted, when Vitor Belfort stepped in as a brother, mentor, and disciple and led him to Christ. What started as a 7 am workout turned into a walk with Jesus, accountability, and a new purpose.

Vitor, one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, shares the part of his story most people don’t know: the fear, the temptation, the emptiness of fame, and the moment God moved him from “me” to “we.” Pastor Joby Martin brings biblical clarity, why pain and suffering form perseverance; why transformation is “be transformed by the renewal of your mind” why the fruit of the Spirit can’t be manufactured, only produced by abiding in Jesus.

This is a conversation about identity, manhood, discipline, and hope, for anyone who’s ever felt like they blew their shot, or had everything and still felt empty. If you’re an athlete, a coach, a dad, or just a man who knows you were Built for More, this one is for you.

Matt Corral finally opens up about everything. The pressure, the pain, and the purpose behind his journey from five-star high school phenom to NFL quarterback to walking away from the New England Patriots with no plan and no peace. In this unfiltered interview, the former Ole Miss star and Carolina Panthers draft pick sits down with Denny Thompson and Pastor Joby Martin to talk through the parts of his story he’s never told publicly: the headlines that followed him since high school, the injuries that derailed his draft stock, the media stories that twisted the truth, and the silent mental-health battle that nearly ended everything.

Matt shares how UFC legend Vitor Belfort stepped in at just the right moment, training him physically while discipling him spiritually and how that encounter introduced him to real faith, grace, and the freedom that changed his entire life. He walks through the moment he saw Bill Belichick on his way out of the Patriots facility, what it felt like to hit rock bottom, how therapy and Scripture started to rebuild him from the inside out, and why he now sees his career as a tool in God’s hands instead of an identity.

Pastor Joby breaks down how fear and control cripple men, how faith produces action, and how grace transforms even the toughest stories. This conversation is raw, redemptive, and full of moments that will leave you reflecting on your own purpose. If you’ve ever battled anxiety, shame, or identity tied to performance, this one will hit home.

Most NFL careers last three years. Tyler Shatley made it eleven.

Undrafted. Overlooked. Undeniably consistent.

Tyler has been in the trenches of the NFL for more than a decade  through regime changes, new quarterbacks, coaching overhauls, and a lifetime of hits that would’ve broken most men. But through it all, he’s stayed grounded in his purpose, his discipline, and his belief that how you live matters more than how you play.

In this conversation, Denny Thompson and Joby Martin sit down with Tyler to unpack what it really takes to last in the league how he found strength through years of uncertainty, what the locker room has taught him about leadership and integrity, and what he’s learned about success, family, and staying faithful when no one’s watching.

It’s about the kind of mindset that lasts.

Masculinity isn’t toxic. It’s just been twisted. In this episode, Pastor Joby and Denny sit down to talk about what it actually means to be a man and why Joby’s new book Stand Firm and Act Like Men: Becoming the Man You Were Created to Be Instead of Who the World Says You Are is a much needed message in a culture that’s confused about manhood.

They talk about the real things: why so many men feel lost, how culture has diluted strength, and what the Bible actually says about being a man. Not the loudest guy in the room. Not a watered down version of leadership. But a man who’s grounded, surrendered, and built for more.

Pastor Joby shares what led him to write the book, why 1 Corinthians 16:13 hits so hard today, and how we can raise up a generation of men who know who they are and who they belong to.
