In this heartfelt episode of Holy Alive, we sit down with board member Jadi Rodriguez and Full Armor Director Anthony Davis to talk about stepping into the sacred role of fatherhood after growing up in broken homes. Jadi, dad to a 7-month-old and a 3-year-old, and Anthony, dad to a 6-week-old newborn, share the raw realities of learning to father without a godly blueprint, the beauty of watching their children thrive, and the ways God is rewriting their stories through their families.

Together, they open up about the fears, joys, and daily lessons of being present, intentional dads—and how their faith equips them to break cycles, build new legacies, and love their children in ways they never experienced themselves.

If you’ve ever wrestled with the weight of fatherhood or longed to see God redeem your family story, this conversation will encourage you that you are not alone and that grace truly transforms generations.

What we cover in this episode:

➡️ Breaking Cycles: How God empowers fathers to create new legacies, even when they didn’t grow up with healthy examples.

➡️ Daily Presence: Why small, consistent moments with your children matter more than perfection.

➡️ Faith as a Foundation: How relying on God gives strength and wisdom for parenting when your own upbringing left gaps.

➡️ Redemption in Fatherhood: Real stories of healing and restoration that come through loving and leading a family.

➡️ Encouragement for Fathers: Practical encouragement for dads who feel unprepared, reminding them they’re equipped and not alone.

Heather Gammel | Shifting Your Identity from Performance to Purpose

What does it mean to keep going when everything in you wants to quit?

In this raw and inspiring #HolyAlivePodcast episode, we sit down with CrossFit Games athlete, wife, mom of three, and coach Heather Gammel to talk about the long road to the Games—including the years she came heartbreakingly close, the team she thought she’d be on but wasn’t, and the brutal injury she’s currently competing through: a spinal fluid leak.

Heather opens up about the mindset required to persevere through disappointment, the emotional toll of training through chronic pain, and the decision to choose joy—especially when joy feels out of reach. She shares the moment God became real to her in a new way, how her marriage was tested and strengthened through her competitive career, and what it looks like to shift identity away from performance and into purpose.

Whether you’re navigating setbacks, chasing a goal, or trying to find faith in the hard seasons, this episode is a reminder that you can keep going—and you don’t have to do it alone.

What we cover in this episode:

➡️ The emotional and spiritual toll of chronic injury

➡️ Letting go of performance identity in faith, motherhood, and fitness

➡️ What changed when Heather truly understood her need for a Savior

➡️ The shift from CrossFit being everything to simply something she loves

➡️ How she and her husband fought for their marriage in a competitive season

➡️ Raising daughters in a world obsessed with aesthetics

➡️ What it means to show up even when you’re not at your best—and let God do the rest

In this episode of the #HolyAlivePodcast, award-winning Ugandan filmmaker Dons Enock shares his extraordinary journey of faith and resilience. At just 14 years old, his father asked him to leave home because the family couldn’t afford to care for him. With no one else to turn to, Dons went to his church, fell to his knees, and prayed a simple but life-altering prayer—inviting God to become the Father he needed.

We talk about:

➡️ The pivotal moment he entrusted his life to God as a Father
➡️ How faith took root through hardship and survival
➡️ The deeper mission behind his award-winning storytelling
➡️ Why film became a redemptive space to reflect truth, beauty, and hope

This conversation is a powerful reminder that God meets us in the lowest places—and shows us what He can create from them.
