From college football to teaching math in a college dorm, this episode is full of unexpected turns, diverse talents, and a life shaped by faith. Our guest shares the story of meeting his wife, building a life and family together, and making the move from Minnesota to Maine in response to God's leading. Throughout their journey, faith has remained at the center of their lives, guiding them through different seasons of ministry, family, and change. He also shares why it's so important for young men to take ownership of their lives and embrace responsibility, along with what it looks like to lean into God and trust His direction—even when the next step isn't always clear. Hear how God led their family to Moss Brook Church and what he's been involved in since joining the staff.

What does it look like to trust God when you don’t have an answer to “Why?” In this episode, we sit down with the president of the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches (FEC) to hear the story behind his faith, leadership, and passion for reaching people with the Gospel. He opens up about growing up without a dad and the lasting impact of missing that father figure in his life. He also shares how he learned to trust God even when the answers didn’t come. We talk about the challenge of balancing a demanding job that requires a lot of travel with his commitment to putting his family first. He gives insight into the FEC’s growing vision of planting churches across the country and now internationally in Africa. But perhaps most importantly, he shares a personal lesson he had to learn: you can spend your life trying to please God, checking all the right boxes, doing all the right things—and still find yourself lonely. This is a conversation about faith, family, leadership, trusting God in the unknown, and discovering that following Jesus is about far more than simply checking the boxes.

In this episode, Justin sits down with a man who spent much of his life living without God, even while feeling for years that God was calling him to something more. He shares what changed when he finally chose to follow Jesus—and why faith is about so much more than simply showing up to church on Sunday. He talks about looking for everyday opportunities to make a difference, whether that means having a meaningful conversation with someone while he’s out and about or simply taking the time to connect with the people around him. One of his greatest joys has been watching his own two children make the decision to follow Jesus for themselves. His story is a reminder that faith isn't meant to stay inside the walls of a church—it’s meant to shape the way we live, love, and interact with people every day.
