Episode Overview

In this raw and powerful episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer gets deeply personal about his greatest fear: the fear of being nothing. He shares how years of striving to be impressive left him burned out, anxious, and disconnected from his true calling—until a transformative encounter with God flipped his perspective.

Drawing on the biblical story of David and Goliath, Justin reveals how God uses those willing to be nothing—and why true leadership requires stewarding your body, mind, spirit, and emotions as one integrated temple. This isn’t about chasing six-pack abs or status symbols; it’s about becoming the kind of person who can carry your calling without breaking under the weight.

This episode will encourage, challenge, and free you from the pressure to perform—so you can live from obedience, not ego.
