For four years, John Beck lined up under center at BYU as quarterback of the football team. He is likely best remembered for a winning play in a rivalry game against Utah that is often referred to as "The Answered Prayer," but in the years since his collegiate career, Beck has learned a lot about seemingly unanswered prayers and perceived failure. On this week's episode, Beck discusses the refiner's fire as well as the delicate balance between putting in the work to achieve success while allowing space for recovery and rehabilitation—both mentally and physically. He believes this begins with being centered in Jesus Christ.

"To achieve the most difficult things, failure and fear is something you have to look straight in the face and be okay with."
