Episode 21: Are You a Bandwagon Fan? How Standing Firm Through Every Season

We proudly wear our team colors, cheer through the victories, and stand by our favorite teams through the losses. But do we show that same excitement, confidence, and commitment when it comes to our faith?

In this episode of Called & Rooted, we're taking a look at how football season can teach us something about our walk with Christ. From putting on our uniform and preparing for the game to tuning out the distractions of the crowd, there are so many connections to how we're called to live as followers of Jesus.

We'll talk about putting on the full armor of God, standing firm in our faith, and finding joy in both the victories and the disappointments of life.

And we're introducing a little something called Godfidence—confidence rooted in who God is, not in the outcome we're hoping for.

Because the scoreboard doesn't determine God's goodness, and our circumstances don't change His faithfulness. Through every win, every loss, and every season in between, we can stand firm knowing that His love never fails.

Scripture: Ephesians 6:10–18

Sometimes God shows up in the big, undeniable moments. But sometimes, He’s in the smallest details: the smile you needed, the conversation that came at just the right time, the nudge you couldn’t shake, or the opportunity placed right in front of you.

In Episode 20, Darby is talking about noticing those moments and being willing to respond when God puts us in a position to do something. Maybe it’s standing up for someone when it would be easier to stay quiet. Maybe it’s redirecting someone who’s headed down the wrong path, praying for someone who needs wisdom, sharing a meal, or simply lending a hand.

As Christians, we aren’t just called to notice the need. We’re called to be willing to step into it—even when it’s uncomfortable.

Because sometimes that little “God wink” you’ve been praying to receive might actually be something God is asking you to be for someone else.

What we plant today becomes part of what someone else carries tomorrow. But in the busyness, distractions, and constant “what ifs” of everyday life, it’s easy to put off the things we say matter most.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to prepare the field, plant the seed, and seek first the Kingdom of God. From a question my four year old son asked about my Papa, to something my oldest child unexpectedly telling me to turn up on the radio, to spin class, church, cattle bloodlines, and even a little country music—God has been showing me just how much our small, repeated choices matter.

We have influence, but we don’t have control. Our job isn’t to guarantee the outcome. Our job is to plant.

So instead of only asking, “What happens if I do?” maybe it’s time to ask:

What happens if I don’t?

Our babies are growing. The years are passing. And one day, when we pass on, what will we have passed down?
