In this episode, Justin chops it up with former college basketball player Andrew Johns—a gritty, undersized hooper who had to obsess over the fine details of the game, just to earn a shot at the next level. But along the way, Andrew beings to understand that there is something even bigger than basketball.

What started as a grind for playing time turned into a deeper search for identity and purpose. Andrew opens up about how his faith used to feel more like a habit than a relationship—until a powerful connection with another believer be to change his priorities.

Justin and Andrew dive into what it looks like to move beyond the title of “college athlete” and embrace the new life God is calling him into. This one’s about purpose, transformation, and learning to trust the process—even when the game clock hits zero.

We’ll also explore real-life scenarios—praying with athletes, using Scripture for encouragement, and setting appropriate boundaries—all through a biblical lens.
