Podcast Episode Description

From dreaming of the big leagues to surrendering everything at the feet of Jesus—this episode traces a powerful journey of identity, calling, and true discipleship.

Our guest opens up about his early dream of a future MLB career and how baseball quickly became more than just a game; it became his identity. Growing up culturally Catholic, faith was always around but rarely personal. That all began to change when he encountered authentic discipleship and a community that didn’t just talk about Jesus, but lived like Him.

In this conversation, we dive into:

• How chasing baseball success shaped his sense of self—and how it nearly defined him

• The pivotal moments where discipleship led him from religion to genuine faith
• The role of Christ-centered community in healing, growth, and spiritual maturity
• The radical decision to devote his life to missions work
• What it truly means to deny yourself and follow Jesus daily

If you’ve ever wrestled with who you are apart from your accomplishments, questioned your upbringing in the church, or wondered what it looks like to fully surrender your plans to God, this episode will challenge and encourage you to grow closer to Christ—no matter where you’re starting from.
