You don’t need more discipline to change your life… you need the right systems.

Most people think consistency comes down to willpower. That if they could just try harder, they’d finally follow through. But discipline without structure eventually breaks, especially when life gets busy, stressful, or uncomfortable.

In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I break down the STRONG Method, the exact framework we use inside my Fit in Faith coaching program to help people align their faith, fitness, and daily habits so discipline becomes sustainable instead of exhausting.

We talk about:

•Why motivation and willpower aren’t reliable long-term strategies

•How systems remove friction from obedience and consistency

•What the STRONG Method actually looks like in real life

•How structure supports faith, physical health, and identity change

•Why lasting transformation comes from alignment, not intensity

This episode is for anyone who feels disciplined but still stuck…

Anyone tired of starting strong and falling off…

And anyone who wants to build habits that support the life they’re actually called to live.

Comment below: Do you feel like your challenge is discipline — or the lack of a system?

I’m leaner than I’ve ever been… but something wasn’t adding up.

On the surface, everything looked right. Body fat was low. Strength was solid. The scale was moving. But my recovery data told a different story and ignoring it would’ve been a mistake.

In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I break down what happened during this phase of fat loss, why my HRV started trending downward at single-digit body fat, and how I realized the issue wasn’t effort or discipline — it was recovery.

We talk about:

•What HRV actually tells you about recovery and nervous system stress

•Why fat loss becomes a precision game once you’re already lean

•How stacking “good stressors” can quietly backfire

•Why more volume doesn’t mean more progress in a deficit

•The nutrition and training adjustments I’m making moving forward

This episode is for anyone who’s training consistently but feels run down…

Anyone chasing fat loss without wanting to sacrifice long-term health…

And anyone learning that discipline sometimes means pulling back, not pushing harder.

Comment below: Have you ever had a phase where the results looked good — but your body felt off?

Am I growing… or am I just running away?

That’s the question I had to sit with as I reflected on my time in Austin and the decision to leave. Before talking about what’s next, I wanted to be honest about what this city gave me: how it shaped my work ethic, clarified the kind of community I want, and showed me the power of being surrounded by people who take their lives seriously.

In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I walk through:

•How Austin changed the way I work and think about discipline

•Why coworking and proximity to driven people matters

•The kind of community I realized I’m called to build long-term

•What wholesome, value-aligned living actually looks like

•How to tell the difference between growth and escape

This episode is for anyone who’s felt torn between staying and leaving…

Anyone questioning whether a change is avoidance or obedience…

And anyone trying to move forward with clarity instead of impulse.

Comment below: Have you ever had to ask yourself whether a change was growth — or escape?

I didn’t expect to make this decision and honestly, I put it off longer than I should have.

In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I share a major life change and walk you through the real reasons behind it. This isn’t about chasing comfort or appearances. It’s about discipline, brotherhood, financial stewardship, and intentionally choosing growth over convenience.

We talk about:

•Why comfort can quietly make you complacent

•The power of brotherhood and accountability

•Choosing long-term vision over short-term ease

•Why getting uncomfortable is sometimes the most mature move

•How faith, discipline, and environment shape who you become

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’ve been playing it safe…

Anyone who knows a change is needed but hasn’t acted yet…

And anyone trying to build a life rooted in purpose.

🎙️ Ep. 30 – God Made It Clear: These Things Can’t Come With Me Into 2026

In this episode of Let’s Parley, I close out 2025 by sharing how God has been leading me into 2026.

This is the most honest I’ve been about what I’m letting go of, how my relationship with the Lord has deepened, and why I’m choosing to approach 2026 differently than I ever have before.

I talk about:

•How I’ve been praying, listening, and staying close to the Lord

•What God has been instructing me to leave behind before 2026

•Why everything starts with the mind

•How reading the Gospel of John and an Advent plan shaped my perspective

•Why I’m shifting away from outcome-based goals

🎙️ Ep. 29 – What 2025 Exposed About Me That I Didn’t Want to Admit

In this episode of Let’s Parley, I sit down and honestly reflect on 2025 — not just the wins, but the parts of the year that revealed areas of my life I would’ve rather ignored.

This conversation isn’t about hype, resolutions, or pretending everything went perfectly. It’s about taking inventory, acknowledging growth, and owning the lessons God used this year to expose what needed to change.

I talk about:

•The wins from 2025 worth celebrating

•The lessons that came through discomfort and failure

•What this year exposed about my habits, discipline, and faith

•Moments where I resisted growth — and what that taught me

•The difference between reflection and self-criticism

•Why honesty with yourself matters before setting new goals

•How God uses exposure to bring alignment, not shame

•Encouragement for you to reflect on your own year

If 2025 didn’t go the way you expected…

🎙️ Ep. 28 – Christmas Without the Noise: Returning to the Real Gift

In this episode of Let’s Parley, I share my perspective on Christmas.  It’s not a moment to slow down and reflect on the arrival of Christ.

We talk about Advent and why the birth of Jesus is the reason we give gifts in the first place. From the manger to the tomb, the Gospel of Luke paints a picture of a Savior who entered the world humbly and left it wrapped with the same care. That is what truly matters.

I talk about:

•What Advent really means: the arrival of Christ

•Why the gift of Jesus is the foundation of Christmas

•The imagery of Jesus’ birth and burial in the Gospel of Luke

•Why Christmas was never meant to be about Santa or spending

•How commercialization pulls us away from the bigger picture

•What I’m doing differently this Christmas

•Spending intentional time with my brother in Austin

•Reflecting on 2025 and casting vision for 2026

•Calling family and valuing relationships over things

•Why the gifts of life, family, and eternal life matter most

If Christmas has ever felt overwhelming…

If the pressure has overshadowed the purpose…

If you’re craving something deeper this season… this episode is for you.

🎙️ Ep. 7 – The Hard Truths I Couldn’t Avoid Anymore

In this episode, I open up about some of the quiet but necessary realizations God has been placing on my heart—and the changes I’ve started making because of them. Not changes rooted in pressure or perfection, but in obedience, honesty, and faith.

•Shifting my focus to obedience: training consistently and logging meals

•Breaking out of “going through the motions” in prayer

•Asking God for help in specific challenges I’m facing

•Planning my days the night before instead of drifting

•Reaching out to friends and family instead of isolating

•Filling downtime with prayer rather than distractions

•Facing challenges head-on instead of avoiding them

•Why my coping mechanisms won’t bring the peace God does

•Remembering that no challenge I face is bigger than Christ

If you’re ready to stop avoiding and start trusting God more fully

This episode is for you.

🎙️ Ep. 27 – I Read the Entire Bible And Jesus Became Impossible to Ignore

In this episode of Let’s Parley, I share my experience and biggest takeaways from reading the entire Bible from start to finish over the course of 358 days.

I walk through the Bible reading plan I followed, why I chose it, and how the structure helped me stay consistent. More importantly, I reflect on what actually changed once I saw Scripture as one unified story instead of disconnected books.

I talk about:

•The Bible Project reading plan through the YouVersion app

•How video explanations helped bring context and clarity

•Why Psalms woven throughout the plan mattered so much

•How the Old Testament consistently points toward Jesus

•The repeated pattern of major biblical figures before Christ

•Why reading Jesus’ words for myself changed everything

•The role Paul played in spreading the Gospel

•Why the Bible isn’t just a book—but a playbook for living a life worth living

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the Bible…

If you’ve started reading but never finished…

If you want to understand Scripture more clearly instead of just knowing verses—this episode is for you.
