What if following Jesus is less about playing it safe—and more about trusting Him through both ambition and suffering?

In this episode of the Trueface Podcast, we sit down with our friend Dave Rhodes to wrestle with what it really means to live an extraordinary life with God. We talk about the subtle ways even good ambition—especially in ministry and leadership—can pull us away from trusting Jesus in the present, and how the invitation of discipleship always includes both the kingdom and the cross. Dave shares his journey from a rigid faith framework into a lived experience of God’s goodness, the scars and stories formed through suffering, and why the way we pursue God’s purposes matters just as much as the outcomes. Together, we explore trust, identity, faithfulness in the mundane, and how Jesus meets our deepest longings not through surrogates, but through Himself.
