Professional MMA fighter and gym owner Josh Ugalde opens up about his journey of faith and resilience. From his roots in the church to his inspiring role as a mentor, Josh shares how his journey of faith has profoundly shaped his life. We explore his dreams, like opening a unique gym dedicated to wrestling, martial arts, and fitness, and how his marriage engagement intertwines with his personal and professional path. Josh's narrative is a testament to the transformative power of finding purpose through faith and community, and how these connections bolster his identity beyond the ring.

A gripping college spiral and redemption story unfolds as we highlight the experiences of an individual who faced monumental challenges at the University of Maryland. Confronted with struggles related to alcohol, health, and spirituality, compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic, this journey exposes the intensity of a mental health battle. A life-changing intervention by a sports psychologist marks a turning point, emphasizing the critical role of mental health support. Through raw and emotional storytelling, we bring to light the power of hitting rock bottom and the arduous climb toward healing, offering hope to those facing similar battles.

We explore themes of vulnerability and identity, especially for athletes who often tie their self-worth to their performance. Josh recounts his transformative experience at a "Marked Men for Christ" weekend, highlighting the strength found in embracing vulnerability and intimacy with faith. Balancing physical prowess with spiritual surrender, Josh's journey inspires listeners to seek redemption through faith, placing their burdens at the cross and finding new purpose. Join us as we encourage our community to engage, uplift, and share their stories, fostering a supportive environment for personal growth and faith-driven transformation.
