In this episode, I sit down with Aaron Phillips—husband, dad, entrepreneur, and former UFC fighter—for a conversation about the tension between chasing your biggest dreams and faithfully showing up for the life right in front of you.

Aaron opens up about what it was like to build a growing gym while training for a shot at the UFC—and how a series of injuries ultimately led him to step back from the fighting world. But rather than viewing it as failure, Aaron shares how that shift helped him embrace a new identity, one rooted not in performance, but in purpose.

We talk about redefining success, learning the importance of family, and how to keep moving forward when God’s plans look different from your own.

If you’ve ever had to pivot from a passion or felt the tension of holding multiple callings—this conversation will hit home.
