👉 Challenge for the week: When you're going through a hard time, ask yourself: What is God teaching me right now?

When a CEO and his coworker were caught kissing at a Coldplay concert, social media exploded. But this episode isn’t about scandal. It’s about the small choices that lead us there. Join us as we trace the steps from innocent connection to public downfall and ask the hard questions: Where are you compromising your integrity? Are you cheating your family, your calling, or your future self? This episode challenges men to stop drifting and start leading with truth, accountability, and purpose. Let's rise above ourselves and live the way God has called us to live. A life for His glory.

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with my former youth pastor and lifelong mentor, TJ Classen. TJ is a man who helped shape my faith and leadership during my most formative years.

Now serving in Omaha, Nebraska, TJ opens up about the powerful lessons he’s learned through ministry, moving across the country, and letting go of the weight of trying to “save” people himself. Together, we explore the tension between loving people deeply and trusting God fully especially when you have to move on, let go, or watch people struggle.

From building student-led ministries to wrestling with calling and roles placed on him, this conversation is filled with wisdom, laughter, humility, and raw truth. Whether you’re a leader, a big brother, or just someone who cares deeply about the people around you this episode will speak to your heart.

Our key themes include the difference between influence and control, leading with love and letting truth follow, what it really means to live for God’s glory, the quiet strength of introverted leaders, and how to lead, mentor, and let go well.
