In this episode of the Real Momentum podcast, we sit down with Thomas Settles, pastors the Calvary Bible Church in Athens, GA, UGA Football Chaplain, and FCA Campus Director. We discuss the critical challenge of reaching a generation of young men often marked by spiritual apathy and a lack of mentorship. From the high-pressure environment of the Bulldogs' locker room to the broader university campus, Thomas reveals the identity struggles today’s students face and why ministry leaders must prioritize these strategic outreach avenues. We address the sobering reality of low engagement among young men in the church and explore how to invite those without spiritual father figures into a life-changing mission that demands their best.

Join us and bring a group of men to hear Thomas Settles challenge us from the Word!
