    Ep 7: From Top Gun to Total Surrender
    Jan 27 2026
    Featuring: John Ramstead Organizations: Beyond Influence; Hangar X Studios In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Power of OR Podcast, Brad Hawkins and Jim Brangenberg sit down with longtime friend and former Navy fighter pilot John Ramstead to explore the unexpected turns that reshaped his life, faith, and identity. From achieving his lifelong dream of flying F-14s to losing his career overnight, and later surviving a near-fatal accident that led to a profound encounter with Jesus, John shares what it truly means to live with the Power of OR – trusting God when everything familiar is taken away. This is a story of ambition, loss, surrender, healing, and learning that God's plans are often revealed through our greatest disruptions. What You'll Hear in This Episode The mentorship lesson that John learned from his dad and applied to his life The devastating injury that ended his military career just months before Top Gun Losing his identity, struggling with depression, and being a door-to-door cell phone salesman after leaving the Navy A divine encounter with Christ that radically transformed his faith and marriage A second life-altering "OR moment" after a catastrophic horseback accident Why "all things work together for good" became the foundation of his life How suffering reshaped his understanding of joy, identity, and purpose Key OR Moments Top Gun or Total Loss – Chosen for Top Gun, then medically disqualified days later Career Identity or Kingdom Identity – Losing his dream forced John to confront who he really was in Christ Death or Divine Encounter – A traumatic brain injury led to a supernatural experience with Jesus Regret or Redemption – Learning to trust that God redeems even the paths we don't understand Why This Episode Matters John's story speaks directly to anyone who has faced disappointment, career loss, identity crises, or deep suffering. It's a reminder that our greatest calling isn't found in titles, success, or achievements but in intimacy with Christ. This episode challenges listeners to ask: What if the very thing I see as loss is actually God's invitation to something deeper?

  • Ep 6: Why God Doesn't Retire Leaders

    Ep 6: Why God Doesn't Retire Leaders
    Jan 13 2026

    In this conversation, Russell Jenson shares his journey from decades in education to building a mobile escape-room business that became an unexpected leadership training ground. After ten years, he made another courageous decision: selling the business not to slow down, but to make room for what God might be inviting him into next.

    Russell's Key "OR" Moments

    • Stay in education OR leave when the joy and freedom were gone

    • Run an escape room for fun OR use it to reveal real leadership

    • Keep the business local OR take it mobile to serve more teams

    • Let titles lead OR allow true leaders to emerge under pressure

    • Hold ownership OR release the business to a new steward

    • Retire comfortably OR stay fully engaged for Kingdom impact

    Russell's story challenges the cultural assumption that purpose fades with age. His journey reminds us that God doesn't retire His people. He reassigns them.

    This episode is for anyone standing at a crossroads, sensing a transition, or facing an OR moment where faith is required to choose what might be the less obvious path.

  • Ep 5: Villain, Victim… or Victor?

    Ep 5: Villain, Victim… or Victor?
    Dec 30 2025
    What do you do when obedience to God seems to cost you everything? In this powerful episode of The Power of OR Podcast, filmmaker Drew Martin, founder of Mighty Motion Pictures, shares the defining crossroads of his life and work. After years of creating bold, truth-telling documentaries, Drew faced devastating personal and professional losses – financial collapse, betrayal, and the end of a decades-long marriage. At his lowest point, God confronted Drew with a stark OR: Be the villain Live as the victim Or rise as the victor This conversation explores how Drew chose the third option and what that choice looks like when circumstances haven't yet changed. What You'll Hear in This Episode How Drew discerns God's direction in his creative work Why obedience doesn't guarantee an easy path (but does guarantee purpose) The unseen spiritual battle behind media, culture, and life-and-death issues How eternal perspective reshapes pain, loss, and perseverance Why identity – not circumstances – is often the real battleground A candid challenge to men about work, family, and legacy Why This Conversation Matters This episode isn't just about filmmaking. It's about faith under fire. Drew's story speaks to anyone facing loss, injustice, or uncertainty while trying to remain faithful to God's call. If you've ever wondered: Did I hear God wrong? Why is obedience so costly? How do I keep going when everything falls apart? This conversation meets you right there. You may not get to choose the battle but you do get to choose who you'll be in it. Villain. Victim. Or Victor. Featuring: Drew Martin Ministry/ Workplace: Filmmaker, founder of Mighty Motion Pictures
