Good Times, Bad Friends

Nick Schad: Why Performance Can’t Be Your Identity (Faith, Golf & Purpose)


Listen Later

What happens when your identity is built on performance — and the performance fades?

In this episode of Good Times, Bad Friends, we sit down with Nick Schad, founder of Mission Golf, to talk about faith, purpose, and why identity can’t be tied to success, scores, or outcomes.

Nick shares how golf, ministry, and leadership all taught him the same lesson: purpose doesn’t stop at the church doors — it shows up in everyday life. We talk about pressure, presence, and what it looks like to live with conviction when no one’s watching.

This conversation is for anyone navigating:
• Performance pressure
• Faith in everyday life
• Identity beyond achievement
• Purpose beyond the spotlight

🎙️ Topics include:
• Faith beyond Sunday
• Performance vs. identity
• Purpose in leadership and sport
• Living present, not perfect
