Speak from the Heart is a testimonial podcast where athletes can talk about their faith and how God impacted their journey. It is a real, honest, faith-centered podcast where we drop the masks, talk about what actually matters, and dig into the emotions, struggles, and victories that shape us. Whether we’re talking about purpose, pain, relationships, discipline, failure, or the goodness of Jesus, the mission is the same: to encourage you, challenge you, and remind you that you’re never walking through life alone.

    Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect. Seasons change, opportunities come and go, and every athlete eventually has to discover who they are beyond their sport.In this episode of Speak From the Heart, I sit down with former Samford sprinter, Timi Olawole. From growing up in Buford, Georgia, to competing at the Division I level, to unexpectedly becoming a familiar face through Moon Media Games, Timi shares how God has guided him through every chapter of his journey.We talk about the discipline that track instilled in him, the transition away from collegiate athletics, and the joy that so many people notice when they watch his videos. Timi opens up about where that joy comes from, how his faith became personal, and why he chooses to keep trusting God no matter what season of life he's in.If you've ever wondered what comes after the dream...If you've ever struggled to find your identity beyond what you do...If you've ever needed a reminder that joy isn't dependent on your circumstances...This episode is for you.📖 "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." — Romans 12:12📖 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." — Proverbs 3:5–6From the track...to a platform reaching millions...to learning that God's purpose is bigger than any career—Timi's story is a reminder that your greatest impact often begins where your original plans end.Hopefully this conversation Speaks to your Heart. ❤️Listen to Speak from the Heart on ANY platform!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Bo6PGSuZUTKDXaJDAIrvcApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speak-from-the-heart/id1860487088#SpeakFromTheHeart #TimiOlawole #FaithJourney #TrustGod #Romans1212 #ChristianAthletes #TrackAndField #IdentityInChrist #PurposeOverPerformance #HopeInChrist #FaithPodcast #JoyInChrist #CollegeTrack

    Speak from the Heart EP. 28 | Preacher Tim Mills

    In Episode 28 of Speak From the Heart, we honor the life and legacy of Preacher Tim Mills.Preacher Tim served as the University of the Cumberlands baseball team chaplain, an FCA ambassador, and pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Harlan, Kentucky. While my personal interactions with him were limited, his impact on our team, community, and countless individuals was undeniable.After learning of his passing during the 2026 baseball season, I realized a lesson that many of us learn too late: we don't have as much time as we think we do. Months before his passing, Preacher Tim had expressed interest in being a guest on Speak From the Heart. Like many opportunities in life, I assumed there would always be another day to make that conversation happen.This episode is dedicated to honoring him through the voices of those who knew him best.Joined by my teammates Wesley Culley, Clay Shelton, and John Boy Rittenhouse, we reflect on the impact Preacher Tim had on their lives, his unwavering faith, his love for people, and the legacy he leaves behind. Through their stories, we celebrate a man who devoted his life to serving Christ and encouraging others to do the same.If Preacher Tim impacted your life, we'd love for you to share a story or memory in the comments below."Well done, good and faithful servant." – Matthew 25:23Hopefully this conversation Speaks to your Heart. ❤️Listen to Speak from the Heart on ANY platform!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Bo6PGSuZUTKDXaJDAIrvcApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speak-from-the-heart/id1860487088#SpeakFromTheHeart #PreacherTimMills #FaithOverFear #ChristianPodcast #UniversityOfTheCumberlands #FCA #BaseballMinistry #ChristianTestimony #FaithJourney #Legacy #JesusChrist #CollegeBaseball #KingdomImpact #AthleteTestimony #ChristianLeadership

    Speak from the Heart EP. 27 | Cole Earlewine

    Success in sports often gets measured by stats, playing time, and recognition. But what happens when your journey includes waiting, development, and learning that your value comes from something greater than the game itself?In this episode of Speak From the Heart, I sit down with Ball State defensive back Cole Earlewine. Cole shares his journey from Fishers, Indiana, to Division I football, navigating a redshirt season, earning opportunities within the Ball State program, and learning how to trust God through every stage of the process.We also dive into the influence of the Purpose Paradigm, a framework created by his father that helps people discover how God uniquely wired them to lead and serve. Cole opens up about identity, purpose, faith, and how growing up around those conversations shaped the way he views success, leadership, and life beyond football.If you've ever felt overlooked...If you've ever questioned God's timing...If you've ever wondered what your purpose really is...This episode is for you.📖 “For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works...” — Ephesians 2:10📖 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5-6From waiting to growing...from performance to purpose...from chasing opportunities to trusting God's plan...Cole's story is a reminder that your value isn't found in what you do, but in who God created you to be.Hopefully this conversation Speaks to your Heart. ❤️Listen to Speak from the Heart on ANY platform!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Bo6PGSuZUTKDXaJDAIrvcApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speak-from-the-heart/id1860487088#SpeakFromTheHeart #ColeEarlewine #BallStateFootball #PurposeParadigm #FaithAndFootball #ChristianAthletes #IdentityInChrist #TrustGod #PurposeOverPerformance #FaithPodcast #CollegeFootball #GodsPlan #HopeInChrist #FaithJourney

    Speak from the Heart EP. 26 | Levi "Chevy" McAllister

    Baseball is a game built around failure. Slumps, pressure, self-doubt, and expectations can either break you or shape you — and learning how to respond mentally is just as important as physical ability.In this episode of Speak From the Heart, I sit down with Levi “Chevy” McAllister, catcher at UAlbany and founder of Block and Recover Co., a faith-based performance and wellness brand centered around mental resilience, identity, and faith. Chevy opens up about his journey from New Hampshire to Division I baseball, transferring from UConn to UAlbany, and learning how to stay grounded through both success and adversity.We talk about the mental side of baseball, his “Block and Recover” mindset, the meaning behind his “snap and clap” approach, and how his relationship with Christ transformed the way he handles pressure, failure, and identity as an athlete.If you’ve ever struggled mentally in sports…If you’ve ever tied your worth to performance…If you’ve ever needed peace in the middle of pressure and expectations…This episode is for you.📖 “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2📖 “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7If this encouraged you, subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and let me know your thoughts in the comments.Hopefully this conversation Speaks to your Heart. ❤️Listen to Speak from the Heart on ANY platform!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Bo6PGSuZUTKDXaJDAIrvc?si=c132ba80d8b745b6&nd=1&dlsi=7141eaa14ba14d0dApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speak-from-the-heart/id1860487088#SpeakFromTheHeart #LeviMcAllister #BlockAndRecover #FaithAndBaseball #ChristianAthletes #MentalPerformance #IdentityInChrist #FaithOverFear #CollegeBaseball #TrustGod #ChristianPodcast #BaseballMentality #HopeInChrist #FaithJourney

    Gymnastics can look perfect from the outside — the routines, the scores, the performances under the lights. But behind the scenes, there’s pressure, doubt, sacrifice, and the constant challenge of finding your identity beyond performance.In this episode of Speak From the Heart, I sit down with University of Georgia gymnast Brooke Gleichowski, a standout on beam, host of the Beam Boldly podcast, and someone who’s passionate about living out her faith boldly both in and out of competition. Brooke opens up about the mental side of gymnastics, handling pressure in one of the most demanding sports in the world, and learning how to trust God even when perfection feels impossible.If you’ve ever struggled with pressure…If you’ve ever felt like your worth depended on performance…If you’ve ever needed peace in the middle of expectations…This episode is for you.📖 “Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10📖 “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7If this encouraged you, subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and let me know your thoughts in the comments.Hopefully this conversation Speaks to your Heart. ❤️Listen to Speak from the Heart on ANY platform!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Bo6PGSuZUTKDXaJDAIrvc?si=c132ba80d8b745b6&nd=1&dlsi=7141eaa14ba14d0dApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speak-from-the-heart/id1860487088#SpeakFromTheHeart #BrookeGleichowski #BeamBoldly #FaithPodcast #ChristianAthletes #Gymnastics #FaithOverFear #IdentityInChrist #TrustGod #CollegeGymnastics #ChristianPodcast #HopeInChrist #FaithJourney

    Speak from the Heart EP. 23 | Big Time Lies

    In this episode of Speak From The Heart, I talk about the “Big Time Lies” we often believe about ourselves—and how they quietly shape the way we live, think, and chase success.From feeling like we are what we feel, what people say about us, or even what we do, it’s easy to get caught in a cycle of performance, comparison, and constant approval-seeking. But when we start building our identity on the opinions of the world, it leaves us empty and never satisfied.This episode explores the truth behind those lies, what Scripture says about identity, and how a performance-driven mindset can slowly lead us away from who we were really created to be. Instead of chasing validation, we’re invited into something deeper—an identity that is received, not achieved.If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough, constantly comparing yourself, or striving to prove your worth, this episode is for you.It’s time to stop chasing identity… and start living from it. You are already who God says you are. ❤️Listen to Speak From The Heart on ANY platform!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Bo6PGSuZUTKDXaJDAIrvc?si=c132ba80d8b745b6&nd=1&dlsi=7141eaa14ba14d0dApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speak-from-the-heart/id1860487088#Faith #IdentityInChrist #MindsetShift #Truth #SpiritualGrowth #Purpose #SelfWorth #ChristianLiving #GrowthMindset #RealTalk #SpeakFromTheHeart #PodcastClips #NewEpisode #StayRooted #HeartCheck

There are setbacks, confusion, and moments where you question what you’re even doing.
