In this episode of Haus Talk, I sit down with my good friend, Pastor Mark Griffith — a former college football player turned preacher, leader, and girl dad of three. Two of his daughters are adopted, and the story behind how that happened will stop you in your tracks.

Mark opens up about his early years chasing football dreams, losing direction, and eventually surrendering to God's call to ministry. From drumming in church as a kid to preaching in front of thousands, his journey is a powerful reminder that purpose often comes through pain — and that obedience is one of the greatest forms of strength.

We talk about faith, leadership, and the real battles that come with answering your calling. From leading a growing church at just 25, to walking through seasons of deep adversity and growth, Mark shares what it means to trust God's timing — even when life doesn't make sense.

This one's packed with wisdom, truth, and heart. Whether you're leading a business, a team, or a family, Mark's story will challenge you to surrender, stay faithful, and step boldly into your next season.
