In Episode 300 of The Way We See It, Alex pauses to reflect on the heart behind the podcast and his ministry journey. Instead of celebrating with a big guest or production, he shares openly about his calling, the highs of ministry growth, the personal challenges and scars of the past year, and the simple truth that has carried him through every season: Jesus has always been, and must always remain, the center. This milestone episode is raw, honest, and rooted in the reminder that everything we do—every win, every struggle—only makes sense when Jesus is at the center of it all.

He opens up about walking through his son's Type 1 diabetes diagnosis, how it shifted his career toward purpose-driven healthcare work, and the life lessons that continue to shape him today. With humility and wisdom, Rodney encourages the next generation to stay disciplined, cut out the noise, and commit fully to the plan God has for their lives.

This episode zooms in on fatherhood and godly masculinity, drawing from Man Up, A Guide to Godly Masculinity. Using a Bill Maher monologue on "trad dads" as a cultural springboard, Pastor Alex makes the case for fathers who lead with love, clarity, and authority, parents first, friends second. He unpacks practical dad principles, why "because I said so" can be appropriate at times, how to cultivate teachability and resilience, and why kids must learn it is not all about them. A Steph Curry family story illustrates consequences and commitment at home before commitments on the court. A driveway coaching moment shows how sports develop mental toughness, paying dues, and earning leadership. The charge to dads is simple: show up, speak up, invest daily in your kids' "love tank," meet them where they are, then bring them where you are in life and faith. Moms are encouraged to release grown kids with wisdom. The goal is to raise leaders, not whiners.

In this episode of The Way We See It, Alex has a rich and thought-provoking conversation with Jason Hurt, Founder and Principal Consultant at Hurt Consulting, an organization dedicated to guiding faith-based nonprofits and mission-driven organizations toward sustainable impact. Jason shares his bold journey of leaving corporate America—stepping away from power, performance, and a comfortable paycheck—to follow God's call into the nonprofit world. After briefly owning a business, he quickly realized that his deeper purpose wasn't in profit margins but in people and mission. Now, he helps leaders align vision with impact and navigate real transformation. Jason shares some of the key lessons he's learned along the way: Never trade influence for impact. Surround yourself with people who aren't impressed by you. And regularly audit your calendar to make sure your time reflects your values. With the release of his new book, Climbing Down the Ladder, Jason is a voice for men looking to exchange hustle for calling, and success for significance.
