    S2E6: From the World to Living a Life Sold Out for Jesus | Tim Stapleton

    In this week’s episode, former Minnesota Gopher wrestler Tim Stapleton shares his testimony of transformation through faith in Christ. For years, Tim lived with “one foot in and one foot out” of his walk with Jesus—caught between the pull of the world and the call of God. It wasn’t until he fully surrendered his life to the Lord that he experienced true freedom and lasting change. Tim unpacks how surrendering to Christ reshapes our desires to align with His, and how fully committing to a life following Jesus allows us to share in the promises and fruit of God. He emphasizes that living half for the world and half for Christ is ultimately a lose-lose, while wholehearted devotion brings joy, peace, and eternal hope. Throughout the conversation, Tim also highlights the role of community, practical steps in daily surrender & discipleship, and the reality that transformation isn’t something we can achieve on our own—it’s only possible because of what Jesus accomplished on the Cross in our place. This episode is an encouragement to anyone who feels stuck, anyone who is trying to live as an example of Christ, and a reminder that true life is found in full surrender to Jesus.

    S2E5: Wanting to Die to Living for Christ, God's Protection, & Importance of Community | Benny Burke

    In this episode, Benny Burke — former military service member and elite snowboarder — joins the podcast to share his remarkable journey of encountering God’s saving grace and protection. Driven by a desire to die with honor, Benny enlisted in the military, believing that losing his life in service for his country would be a good way to go out. But God had a different plan. While serving in Afghanistan, Benny experienced a life-changing moment when he heard the voice of God speak directly to him. From that point forward, his story took a dramatic turn. Benny shares how he could clearly see the Lord protecting him in combat and how, after returning home, the difficult road of trauma recovery and finding true community ultimately led him to surrender his life to Jesus. Now, transformed and living a life for Christ, Benny is passionate about telling others what God has done in his life, highlighting a testimony of redemption, healing, and hope.

    S2E1: Life with Jesus | Adam Bricker, Jacob Hall, & Alex Mohs-Messerli

    Adam, Jacob, and Alex hit “record” to talk about the true goodness of God and share insights into their lives following Jesus. The three talk about what it means to humbly submit to the Lord and truly live in a relationship with the Father. In today's world, there is a common misunderstanding of who Jesus is and what it means to be a Christian. The dudes talk further on this topic and about the genuine purpose of being a believer and dive into the word to discuss.  If one of the below bullet points is you, then this is for you. However, it is for anyone who wants to listen! “I don’t even know who Jesus is”. “I don’t understand what it means when people say they have a relationship with Jesus”. “I don't understand what it means when people say that they love Jesus or talk about the peace and joy they have experienced through Christ”. “I don’t even understand what the purpose of being a Christian is”. “Why would I give up these things that bring me “fulfillment” for this Jesus guy?” “I would say that I am a Christian but don’t know how to pursue Jesus”. “I am a new Christian and don’t know what to do now”. “I want to know more about Jesus and being a Christian”. “How do I follow Christ?” “I feel unworthy of Jesus and His love. Why would He love me for what I have done?” If you have questions or want to talk to any of us, please feel free to email, text, or DM us on Instagram. Bringing these things to the light is a crucial step!
