    Josh Brewton: Texas A&M, Tradition, and a Faith Bigger Than Yourself

    Josh Brewton thought he had his future mapped out. From a young age, Josh worked toward one clear goal: attending the Naval Academy, playing football, and serving in the military. But after years of preparation, that door closed — and everything he thought was certain suddenly wasn’t. In this episode of Good Times, Bad Friends, Josh walks us through growing up in Texas, playing multiple sports, and learning leadership through both success and injury. He shares what it was like being named team captain while battling a torn labrum, how rejection forced him to confront control, and why trusting God’s plan didn’t come easily in the moment. Now a student at Texas A&M, Josh reflects on what makes the university’s culture and traditions so unique — from Silver Taps and Muster to serving as Reveille’s handler and becoming a Yell Leader. Along the way, he explains how faith, surrender, and community reshaped his understanding of purpose. This conversation is for anyone who feels “average,” stuck in an in-between season, or wrestling with unanswered prayers — and is learning that God often does His best work through ordinary people who are willing to trust.
