Comfort is everywhere—and if you’re not careful, it will slowly make you weak.

In this episode, I break down 10 things that are making you soft mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Porn. Bad sleep. Gossip. Alcohol and drugs. Not exercising. Constant comfort. Lack of discipline. And the everyday habits that seem harmless but slowly steal your edge.

This isn’t about trying to become some emotionless tough guy. It’s about becoming the man God created you to be—disciplined, strong, clear-minded, dependable, and capable of doing hard things.

Your habits are shaping you every single day.

Some are forging you.

Others are making you soft.

It’s time to identify what needs to go, embrace discomfort, and start becoming harder to break.

Do hard things. Kill excuses. Honor God with the life you’ve been given.

In this week’s episode I answer a bunch of questions around the topic of relationships

Some honest thoughts on singleness, dating, and what it looks like to pursue both from a place of identity in Christ rather than fear. We talking waiting, purity, and why the season you’re in right now isn’t a delay — it’s formation.

In Part 1, we talked about the great exchange — how salvation is a gift, received by faith alone, not earned through works. So what happens after that? Does grace mean behavior doesn’t matter?

Ephesians 2:8-10 answers that question in one breath. Verses 8-9 tell us we’re saved by grace through faith, not by works, so no one can boast. But verse 10 doesn’t stop there — it says we’re God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared in advance for us to walk in.

That order matters. Works don’t produce your identity. Your identity produces works. You’re not working to become someone God accepts — you’re already accepted, and now you get to walk out who you already are.

In this episode, we unpack what it means to be God’s workmanship (the Greek word is poiema — the same root we get “poem” from), why good works were prepared in advance, and how living from identity instead of for identity changes everything about how we obey.

Salvation isn’t something you earn. It’s something you receive.

In Part 1 of this series, we dig into what it actually means to be saved by faith alone. Not faith plus effort. Not faith plus good behavior. Just faith in what Christ already did.

We’ll look at the doctrine of imputed righteousness: the idea that when you trust Jesus, His perfect record gets credited to you and your sin gets nailed to His account. It’s not a metaphor. It’s the gospel.

If you’ve ever felt like you have to perform your way into God’s approval, this episode is for you. Part 2 is coming, where we’ll wrestle with the flip side: if it’s all faith and no works, then what do we do with James 2?

Everything you do flows from who you believe God is — and who you believe you are. If you see God as a distant judge, you’ll live in fear and hiding. If you see Him as passive, you’ll live on autopilot. But Exodus 34:6-7 gives us God’s own self-description: merciful, gracious, patient, faithful — a Father, not just a Judge. And the enemy knows it. He questioned God’s character in the Garden, and he questioned Jesus’ identity in the wilderness — “If you really are the Son of God…” He’s still running that same play on us today. In this episode, we break down who God actually is, what it means that we get to call Him Father, and who His Word says we now are in Christ — perfected, holy, righteous, dead to sin, alive to God. When we believe it, we stop managing sin and start living from an identity we didn’t earn and can’t lose. No more striving to become. Just rest, and become who you already are.

Most of us are starving for God’s voice but terrified of silence. We fill every gap — every drive, every line, every quiet morning — with noise. But Jesus modeled something different: He withdrew. He got alone. He let silence do its work.

In this episode, I break down why solitude isn’t passive, it’s a discipline — and one I believe can genuinely reshape how you walk with God. I’ll walk you through 7 practical, doable tips to start practicing silence and solitude this week, from setting a simple timer to praying breath prayers to just showing up in faith even when it feels like nothing’s happening.

If you’ve ever wondered how to actually hear from God instead of just reading about it, this one’s for you.

How do you know what God wants you to do?

In this episode, I unpack three biblical principles that have helped me make major life decisions and discern God’s direction with confidence.

1. Ask God through prayer and fasting.

2. Search the Scriptures for wisdom and truth.

3. Seek counsel from Spirit-filled people who know and follow Jesus.

God’s will isn’t something we have to fear or overcomplicate. He desires to lead His children. Whether you’re facing a career decision, relationship question, ministry opportunity, or simply wanting to walk closer with Christ, this conversation will help you pursue God’s guidance with faith and confidence.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…” — Proverbs 3:5-6

I haven’t listened to secular music in almost four years. Not because somebody told me I had to stop — but because I finally started paying attention to what it was doing to my soul. I grew up on it. I knew every word. It shaped how I thought about women, about success, about who I was supposed to be. And for a long time, I didn’t even realize the damage because it just felt normal. But this past weekend — bachelor party, wedding, all of it — the music was everywhere. And I didn’t walk out. I didn’t plug my ears. I just… sat in it. And by the end of the weekend, I could feel it. My thoughts were different. My mouth was different. The way I was looking at things was different. My soul started acting like the old man I thought I’d put away. That’s when I knew I had to talk about this. Because what you feed grows. And what you let in your ears gets into your heart whether you invited it there or not. Today we’re going there — no condemnation, just truth.

From the start line in Austin to the hardest moments deep into the race, this episode tells the story of pushing past limits physically, mentally, and spiritually. I share the role my crew played, the mindset and strategy behind the run, and how God met me throughout the journey.
