In this episode of the Take A Step Podcast, Josh sits down with John Szarszewski for a raw, faith-centered conversation about purpose, pressure, and learning to love the process instead of chasing the destination.

They unpack why success often still feels empty—even when you’re doing “all the right things”—and why so many men are carrying weight they were never meant to bear alone. From anxiety, leadership, fitness, and goal-setting to faith, stewardship, and dying to self, this episode challenges the cultural definition of success and replaces it with something deeper and more fulfilling.

You’ll hear why the path forward is often simple but never easy, how embracing the process changes the man you’re becoming, and what it actually means to take up your cross daily in a modern world obsessed with status and outcomes.

If you’re heading into a new year feeling driven but restless, disciplined but unfulfilled, or motivated yet anxious—this conversation will reframe how you approach your goals, your faith, and your daily actions.

Because fulfillment isn’t found at the finish line—it’s built in the process.
