  • The Moment Wemby CHANGED EVERYTHING | Are We Watching Greatness Happen? | The MJ38 Show #135

    Send us Fan Mail

    Every once in a while, sports gives you a moment that feels bigger than the game itself.

    In this episode of The MJ38 Show, we dive into the Spurs playoff run, Victor Wembanyama’s overtime shot, San Antonio’s energy, the lucky shirt moment, the possibility of another Spurs dynasty, and what it feels like to witness greatness before everyone fully realizes what is happening.

    This conversation starts with Spurs fans lining up at Academy for shirts after a historic win, then turns into a deeper discussion about Wemby, sports mythology, magic moments, the feeling of being in “the good old days,” Drake, artistic greatness, faith, culture, and how certain moments in life make the subjective and objective collide.

    In this episode of The MJ38 Show  we talk about:
    - Vacation
    - Discipline
    - Yoga & working out on vacation
    - Reading the Bible in public
    - Social awkwardness
    - Faith 
    - Identity
    - Personality
    - Transformation
    - Testimony
    - Debate
    and what it means to follow God in a culture where serious faith can feel strange.

    ________________________________________________________________________________


    The conversation starts with trying to have the best day possible through movement, discipline, and spiritual alignment — then turns into a deeper question:

    How loud should your faith be?

    We get into public Christianity, being “weird” in modern culture, representing Christ without performing, the line between authenticity and ego, the discipline of spiritual fitness, the power of testimony, and why some truths can’t be fully understood until you live them.

    This episode also touches on Jordan Peterson-style ideas around personality integration, the metaphysics of suffering, debate, truth, the resurrection of Jesus, and why faith is not just something you believe — it becomes something you practice.

    Welcome to The MJ38 Show: deep modern conversations about faith, culture, psychology, masculinity, spirituality, self-improvement, meaning, and the hidden forces shaping modern life.

  • Sports, God, and the Subconscious… What’s REALLY Controlling Us? | The MJ38 Show #130

    Send us Fan Mail

    What if the things you love the most… are actually controlling you?

    In this episode of The MJ38 Show, we start with NBA playoffs, LeBron, and sports culture…
    but quickly dive into something much deeper:

    -  Why we identify so strongly with teams
    -  The hidden psychology behind fandom and tribalism
    -  The connection between sports, faith, and the subconscious
    -  What it really means to “follow” something
    -  And whether we’re all being influenced by forces we don’t fully understand

    From Michael Jordan’s mindset to Phil Jackson’s philosophy, to faith, discipline, and identity—this conversation explores how everything connects.

    At some point, it stops being about sports…
    and becomes about you.

  • Do What Is Meaningful, Not What Is Easy | Jordan Peterson Was Right | The MJ38 Show #129

    Send us Fan Mail

    Most people aren’t suffering because life is hard—they’re suffering because they’re chasing comfort instead of meaning.

    In this episode of The MJ38 Show, we dive deep into Jordan Peterson’s philosophy of meaning vs expedience, spiritual warfare, sacrifice, leadership, truth, and what it actually means to live a life worth living.

    From Nick Saban’s obsession with discipline and systems… to the deeper Christian idea of sacrifice and obedience… to the battle against entropy itself—we break down why modern life feels heavy and why most people are choosing comfort over purpose.

    • the difference between what is meaningful vs what is merely expedient

    This episode is for anyone trying to become stronger, think deeper, and pursue something greater than comfort.

    The MJ38 Show — conversations about truth, culture, discipline, faith, and becoming who you’re meant to be.

  • How To Get Your FIRE BACK | Why Responsibility Gives Life Meaning | The MJ38 Show #128

    Send us Fan Mail

    What do you do when you finally feel your spirit come back to life?

    In this episode of The MJ38 Show, we talk about peace after anxiety, renewed purpose, and the kind of fire that makes you want to attack life again. After a long season of pressure, stress, responsibility, and survival mode, this conversation explores what it means to feel engaged with life again — and why meaning seems to grow when you willingly take on responsibility.

    We also dive into deeper questions around nihilism, discipline, truth, competence, faith, Jordan Peterson, Christianity, and how to actually act in a broken world.

  • It Was ALL A DREAM | Lucid Dreaming Made Me Question Reality | The MJ38 Show #127

    Send us Fan Mail

    Dreams feel random… until they don’t.

    In this episode of The MJ38 Show, we dive deep into lucid dreaming, subconscious patterns, and the question everyone has asked at some point:

    Are dreams just noise… or are they trying to tell us something?

    From flying in dreams to feeling trapped in them, we explore what it means to become conscious inside your own mind—and what that might reveal about reality itself.

    The idea that life itself might be a “narrative” you’re living through

    And ultimately:
    Did you choose this life… or were you placed here with a purpose?


    This episode blends psychology, philosophy, and faith—touching on ideas about free will, God, and what it really means to exist.

    If you’ve ever woken up from a dream feeling like it meant something…

  • The KING of Hearts | Obedience vs Sacrifice (This Changes Everything) | The MJ38 Show #126

    Send us Fan Mail

    What are you really sacrificing your life to?

    Most people think life is about big decisions… but what if it’s actually shaped by the small, daily choices you barely notice?

    In this episode of The MJ38 Show, we dive into the deeper meaning behind obedience vs sacrifice, and why alignment with God may matter more than anything you try to “give up” or control.

    From the story of Abraham and Isaac to the idea that life itself is a narrative being written in real time, this conversation explores how your habits, thoughts, and actions may be shaping a much bigger story than you realize.

    Is life random… or is there a structure behind it?

    Why does doing the right thing sometimes feel harder than anything else?

    And what if the tension you feel in life is actually a sign that something deeper is happening?
