What if growing older wasn’t about slowing down, but stepping up in bold faith? In this final episode of Start Strong, Run Hard, Finish Well, we draw inspiration from Caleb in Joshua 14—who at 85 was still ready to take on giants, trusting God fully.

Brody challenges the idea that aging means retreat and explores how to finish life with purpose, gratitude, and courage—no matter your age. Whether you're 25 or 85, you'll find practical wisdom for living with intention, building intergenerational community, rejecting comfort as your goal, and staying focused on the race God has set before you.

If you're still here, God’s not done with you yet.
 Keep running. Finish strong. Hear “Well done.”

In this episode, Brody shares how to stay anchored in Christ when life’s transitions and cultural pressures tempt us to drift. Drawing from decades of ministry experience, he unpacks the subtle warning signs of spiritual drift and offers practical wisdom for staying faithful through every season. With encouragement from Hebrews 2:1 and 2 Peter 1:10, Brody reminds us that no one drifts toward holiness—spiritual growth requires focus, discipline, and daily dependence on Jesus.

• Spiritual drift often starts with neglecting Scripture and leads to doubt, dullness, and disconnection
• Hebrews 2:1 warns us to “pay closer attention” to the truth we've heard
• 2 Peter 1:10 calls us to confirm our calling through consistent, intentional growth
• Anchoring your identity in who Jesus is—Creator, King, High Priest—keeps you steady
• Lasting faithfulness often comes through relationships with mature, accountable believers
• Expect criticism when you’re making a gospel impact—keep your hand to the plow
• Those who walk away from the faith often first pull away from community and accountability

*In this episode, we talk openly about grief, death, and personal tragedy. If these topics are difficult for you, please listen with care.*

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Blake and Taylor share their journey through professional trauma, personal tragedy, and spiritual crisis. Blake, a firefighter following in his father's footsteps, found his identity in serving others—until the cumulative weight of devastating calls and a heartbreaking miscarriage nearly destroyed his faith, his marriage, and his sense of self.

Together, Blake and Taylor recount the darkest moments of their lives: the grief of losing a child, the psychological toll of emergency service work, and the silent suffering that almost tore them apart. But through pain, confrontation, and unexpected grace, they discovered that no one is beyond redemption. This is a story about God's great grace and redemption in the lives of Blake and Taylor—and a reminder that no one is ever too broken for God to restore.

In this episode of No Sanity Required, Brody Holloway looks back at the first week of SWO25 and shares what really goes on behind the scenes at Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters. From a single army tent to a camp that now hosts hundreds of students and serves 14,000 meals a week, Brody reflects on how far God has brought this ministry.

He gives a quick overview of Romans 1–7 to help set up this summer’s theme, “His Glory, Our Good,” focused on Romans 8. Brody also explains what a typical day looks like at camp and how every part of the team—from bus drivers to kitchen crews—is working hard to point students to Jesus.

You’ll hear stories of salvations, challenges like flooding and power outages, and how God is still moving in big ways. Brody reminds us that ministry is messy, hard work—but it’s worth it. Be encouraged and pray with us as we dive into another summer of gospel ministry at SWO!
