Welcome to Episode 001 of the Lion of Judah Podcast. In this inaugural conversation, Marcus Green and Benjamin Miller open up about the “genesis” of the podcast, their shared foundation in church, and the real-life moments that shaped their faith—from childhood memories and community roots to miracles, military lessons, marriage, and fatherhood. This episode is the start of a ministry assignment: share the Gospel, strengthen believers, and reach people who feel far from God.

- Breakthrough often comes after “yes”—obedience opens doors you can’t predict.
- Faith isn’t just what you believe—it’s what you build your life on when things shake.
