    Randy O'Connell: Finding God in the Wilderness

    In this episode, Brett sits down with one of the most interesting men he’s ever met — Randy O’Connell. Randy’s life is a tapestry of wild adventure, deep faith, and decades of outdoor leadership. From biking 135 miles through 117° heat in Death Valley, to summiting Mount Whitney, to climbing 20,000-foot peaks in Peru with nothing but a couple ice axes and a pack of pemican bars, Randy’s stories feel like they’re straight out of a novel. But behind the adventures is a man shaped by God’s grace. Randy shares openly about childhood epilepsy, youth-group moments that changed everything, and the privilege of leading countless young people into both the wilderness and a deeper understanding of Jesus. We talk climbing, parenting, calling, ministry, fear, hallucinating Texaco stations at altitude, and why the wilderness remains one of the clearest places Randy hears the voice of God. This conversation is funny, profound, humble, and packed with wisdom.

    Eric Carmody - From CrossFit Games to Christ

    In this episode, Brett sits down with Eric Carmody, a CrossFit Games athlete, husband, father, and Christian, to unpack his journey through elite sport, injury, faith, and transformation. Eric’s story takes us from football fields to CrossFit gyms across the globe, through devastating injury and unexpected detours, and ultimately to a new life built on truth in Christ. Key Topics & Highlights The Injury That Changed Everything Eric tore his rotator cuff (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor) and ligament in a freak accident on the rings before the CrossFit Open. Surgery left him sidelined for 9+ months, forcing him to rethink identity, fitness, and recovery. CrossFit Journey Former defensive lineman at Jacksonville University → lost 80+ lbs through P90X and running → discovered CrossFit on a trip to Costa Rica. Progressed from early competitions to qualifying for the CrossFit Games (Asia Regional champ, Invictus athlete in San Diego). Reflections on CrossFit’s growth: from ESPN broadcasts to transforming mainstream gym culture (reviving barbell and free weight training). Life Abroad: Korea Years Moved to Seoul, South Korea to coach at Reebok CrossFit Sentinel during its explosive boom. Experienced rapid gym expansion, investor culture, and eventually the collapse of the franchise. Shares wild stories about expat life, drinking culture, and gym politics, including immigration challenges and shady business dealings. Competition & Training Insights Training twice a day, 5 days a week: “There’s no secret—just suffering consistently.” The truth about zone 2 training vs. hard intervals in elite CrossFit prep. Known for freak strength numbers, including a 255 lb strict press (well above most elite athletes). Faith Journey Came to San Diego in 2017, still not a believer. A relationship with a pastor led him into Scripture (Book of John). Conviction about lifestyle led to repentance and leaving sin behind. A pivotal sermon on the Prodigal Son & the 99/1 sheep in Luke broke through: realizing he was the “one” Jesus sought. Shares the cost of obedience, breaking off a relationship, and rebuilding life with God at the center. Legacy & Truth Eric’s story is about resilience through pain, the emptiness of chasing performance, and the greater calling found in faith. He emphasizes discipline, honesty, and perseverance as the foundation for both fitness and faith.
