In this episode of High Value Discussions, I sit down with Carrie Barrieau. She is a strength trainer, certified nutritionist, USPA & USPC State and National Record Holder, mother, and follower of Christ.

Throughout our conversation, we dive into Carrie’s journey into strength training, what it takes to compete at a high level, and the discipline required when motivation is no longer enough. We also discuss her approach to nutrition, building sustainable habits, developing physical and mental resilience, and some of the misconceptions surrounding strength training.

Beyond the weights and records, Carrie shares the responsibility of balancing training, career, and motherhood while keeping her faith at the center. We discuss how her relationship with Christ influences her priorities, how adversity has strengthened her, and what she hopes to demonstrate to her family and the people she works with.

On this episode of High Value Discussions, I sit down with a brother in Christ, Jordan Kidd. He is a Christian music artist, producer, creator, and a soldier committed to serving the Almighty God through his gifts. For Jordan, music is more than entertainment. It is ministry. His work is built around a conviction that the gifts God gives us are not meant solely for our own recognition, but for His purpose.

Jordan isn’t creating music simply to be catchy, he’s creating music to catch people. To catch the person who is drifting. To reach the person who has forgotten what God brought them through. To remind people that even in seasons of uncertainty, struggle, success, or distance, God remains faithful. His newest release, “God I Remember,” reflects that mission.

Jordan’s aim is impact, reaching people, planting seeds, and allowing God to determine where those seeds grow. This is a conversation about music, but even more importantly, it is about stewardship. This episode is recognizing what God placed in your hands and having the courage to use it for His glory.

In this episode of High Value Discussions, I sit down with Drew Sanchez. He is a follower of Christ whose life and work are centered on advancing the Gospel with conviction. Drew is an evangelist, speaker, entrepreneur, founder, and author of the upcoming book Treasure in the Trenches, a message shaped by the reality that some of life’s greatest spiritual growth is forged through hardship.

Our conversation explores what it means to remain faithful when life is difficult, and how trials become opportunities for God to refine our character. We also discuss biblical leadership, entrepreneurship with eternal purpose, the responsibility of sharing the Gospel, and how believers can faithfully steward their influence in every area of life regardless of what they may be facing.
