In this episode, Kallup McCoy II opens up about his journey from early addiction to becoming a relentless force for recovery and purpose. As an enrolled citizen of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, Kallup shares how prescribed narcotics led him down a dark path - and how hitting rock bottom in jail became the moment God grabbed hold of his life.

He talks about co-founding ResHope Recovery and Consulting, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals in recovery, and how community, accountability, and faith carry people further than willpower alone. Kallup also breaks down his TransCon run - 2,870 miles in 66 days - and how that effort wasn’t about the finish line, but about raising hope and funds for a mission bigger than himself.

Now coaching athletes and chasing ultra-endurance goals and records, Kallup emphasizes the need for spiritual discipline to match physical discipline, and the power of setting goals that challenge you to become someone new. His story is a reminder that no one is too far gone - with the right support, mindset, and purpose, change is possible.

In this episode, Sean sits down with Zane Musgrave, an ultra runner from a small town in Nebraska with fewer than 200 people, who recently placed second at the BPN Survive the Night 50 Mile Ultra. Zane’s quiet determination and humble approach to the sport have made him stand out - not just as an athlete, but as someone working toward making running and run coaching his full-time pursuit.

They dive into his journey into running, the challenges of ultra racing, and the mental side of pushing through when things get tough. Zane shares how faith and gratitude shape his mindset, how he approaches pacing and nutrition, and what it means to stay grounded while balancing training, work, and life.

In this episode, Sean sits down with Ed and Max to break down two back-to-back challenges - running a 2:44:05 at the Marine Corps Marathon and finishing the BPN Survive the Night 50-Miler just six days later. They dive into what it took to pull it off: the mindset, the faith, and the lessons learned along the way. From finding flow in the marathon to pushing through the pain cave in the ultra, Sean shares insights on training, recovery, and how faith fueled both performances. The crew wraps up with reflections on future goals and the powerful connection between endurance, purpose, and spirituality.

In Luke 15, Jesus tells three stories - about a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son - but all reveal one truth: God’s heart beats for the lost.
In this episode, we dive into "The Lost Chapter" of Scripture and explore how grace meets us in our lowest moments, how vulnerability opens the door to restoration, and how we’re called to join God in bringing others home.

Whether you feel far from God or you’re walking with Him today, this message is a reminder that grace doesn’t wait for perfection - it runs toward you.

In this episode, Sean and Ed introduce Max Mancuso, the newest member of the Revitalize team, who shares his transformative journey from a life of partying and uncertainty to one of faith, endurance training, and personal growth. Max discusses the pivotal moments that led him to embrace a healthier lifestyle and a deeper relationship with God. The conversation explores the challenges of navigating friendships during life changes, the importance of faith in achieving personal goals, and how fitness can serve as a vessel for spiritual growth. Together, they emphasize the significance of community and support in the journey of transformation.

In this episode, Ed and I discuss what it means for Christians to "take up his or her cross daily" to follow Jesus.

This topic is where it gets real. Carrying your cross doesn't always mean physical suffering. For most of us, it's about dying to ourselves in the small, daily choices that shape who we're becoming.

Whether you're new in your walk with the Lord or hungry for Him, we give practical and personal examples of how to grow in your faith.

In this episode, I give you a full race-prep update. In less than four weeks, I’ll be running the Marine Corps Marathon with a goal of finishing in 2:50:00 - and just six days later, I’ll be taking on the BPN Survive the Night 50-Miler, aiming to break 7 hours.

I break the episode down into four sections:

1. My current training schedule

2. Habits that improve my performance

3. Recovery tools I use and recommend

4. My nutrition strategy leading into race week
