    DO IT SCARED — FINDING COURAGE THROUGH FAITH WITH ARWEN BECKER

    What if courage isn't about being fearless, but about trusting God enough to move forward even when you're terrified? In this inspiring episode of Fight Like David, Cowbell Rob and Brock Bevell welcome Arwen Becker, a woman whose journey proves that life's greatest challenges can become the very experiences that shape us into who we're meant to be. From surviving a terrifying cougar attack while working in wildlife rehabilitation to losing the career she loved, experiencing divorce, and finding a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ, Arwen has learned that sometimes God's greatest plans begin when our own plans fall apart. Arwen shares her remarkable journey through nearly 25 years in financial planning, her passion for endurance challenges, and the unforgettable experience of watching her son overcome a broken leg and push through the grueling 29029 mountain challenge. But her latest mission may be one of her most meaningful. Through her upcoming book, She Chose Courage: Real Stories of Grit, Resilience, and the Fight for Women's Sports, Arwen is sharing the stories of 40 women who have stood up for their convictions in the face of adversity. She discusses the challenges of speaking out on a controversial issue, the criticism she's faced, and how her Christian faith has given her the strength to keep moving forward. Together, Rob, Brock, and Arwen explore what it means to embrace adversity, overcome self-doubt, stop worrying about other people's opinions, and discover joy in the journey rather than waiting until the finish line. Arwen also shares her powerful approach to starting each day with faith, priorities, and physical movement so we're better prepared for whatever giants life puts in our path. And when Rob asks what it means to Fight Like David, Arwen delivers a message we all need to hear: "To do it scared." Because courage isn't the absence of fear. It's choosing to move forward despite it. It's trusting God when the path ahead is uncertain. And it's understanding that sometimes the greatest victories come from simply taking that next step. You don't have to be fearless to defeat your giant. You just have to be willing to face it. ⚔️ Fight Like David — Every Giant Falls. Have you overcome a giant and want to share your story?

    THE GIANTS INSIDE YOUR HEAD-THE POWER OF YOUR WORDS

    THE GIANT INSIDE YOUR HEAD — THE POWER OF YOUR WORDS What if the biggest giant you're fighting is the voice inside your own head? Every day, we have conversations with ourselves. Some encourage us to keep going. Others remind us of our failures, our mistakes, and the things we've been told we could never accomplish. But here's the question: Would you ever speak to someone you love the way you sometimes speak to yourself? In this deeply personal episode of Fight Like David, Cowbell Rob and Brock Bevell sit down for an honest conversation about communication, negative self-talk, positive affirmations, and the incredible power our words have over our lives. Rob opens up about his past struggles with depression, feelings of inadequacy, and the negative thoughts that once contributed to his suicide attempt. He shares how learning to change the conversation inside his head has helped him become a more positive person. Brock shares his own struggles with relationships, accepting praise, and recognizing the voices that tell him he's not good enough. Together, they explore why negativity can become so comfortable, how our past experiences shape the way we see ourselves, and how the conversations happening inside our minds influence the way we treat the people we love. They also reflect on lessons learned through endurance racing, including moments when physical pain and mental exhaustion make quitting seem like the easiest option. But perhaps the most powerful message comes when Brock shares his experience of feeling Christ's presence during one of his hardest physical challenges. What if Jesus isn't just waiting for us at the finish line? What if He's right there with us in the struggle? This episode is a reminder that we don't have to believe every negative thought that enters our minds. We can challenge those thoughts. We can change the narrative. And we can learn to speak life into ourselves and the people around us. As Proverbs 18:21 reminds us: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue." Your words matter. The way you speak to others matters. And the way you speak to yourself matters just as much. Sometimes defeating your giant begins by changing the conversation inside your own head. ⚔️ Fight Like David — Every Giant Falls. Have you overcome a giant and want to share your story?

    You are not your Shame

    What if the greatest giant you're fighting isn't your addiction… but the shame that's keeping you silent? At just 13 years old, Madi Davis was exposed to pornography. What began as curiosity quickly became a private battle filled with guilt, secrecy, and the overwhelming belief that she was the only girl struggling with it. For years, Madi believed she was somehow beyond the reach of God's forgiveness. But one courageous conversation changed everything. In this powerful episode of Fight Like David, Cowbell Rob and Brock Bevell sit down with Madi to discuss pornography, recovery, faith, and the incredible freedom that comes when we stop allowing shame to define who we are. Madi shares her personal journey from suffering in silence to founding Sisters on the Frontlines, a community dedicated to helping others find hope, connection, and healing. Together, they explore the difference between guilt and shame, why secrecy gives our giants power, how to respond to setbacks without giving up, and why connection with Christ and others is essential to recovery. Madi also shares an emotional letter written by her father, reminding us that winning every battle isn't what matters most. What matters is that we stay in the fight. This episode isn't just about pornography. It's about identity. Forgiveness. Courage. And recognizing that no mistake can erase your worth as a child of God. Your struggle is not your identity. Your past does not determine your future. And you were never meant to fight alone. Whatever giant you're facing today, there is hope, there is healing, and there are people willing to stand beside you. ⚔️ Fight Like David — Every Giant Falls.

    I went to Serve... But God Changed Me

    Sometimes the greatest battles aren't fought by standing up for ourselves. Sometimes they're overcome by kneeling down to serve someone else. In this episode of Fight Like David, Cowbell Rob turns the microphone on his co-host, Brock Bevell, as Brock shares his unforgettable 17-day humanitarian journey to Cambodia with his daughter Jade. What began as an opportunity to help build a school became something far greater. Brock shares the incredible people they met, the hard work, the friendships, and the unexpected spiritual experiences that changed his perspective on life. From watching teenagers disconnect from technology and discover genuine human connection to witnessing what he believes was God's healing hand during his daughter's illness, Brock came home with a renewed understanding of faith, humility, family, and service. But perhaps the greatest lesson was realizing that in a world filled with noise, responsibilities, and distractions, sometimes we have to step away from everything to recognize that God has been there all along. You don't have to travel halfway around the world to make a difference. There are people all around us fighting battles we know nothing about. Sometimes fighting like David means showing up, lending a hand, and helping someone else face their giant. ⚔️ Fight Like David — Every Giant Falls.

    KEEP YOURSELF IN THE FIGHT

    EP 10 KEEP YOURSELF IN THE FIGHT — ZACH LEVER What happens when the battle ends... but the fight inside you doesn't? Zach Lever has spent much of his life learning how to keep moving forward. A retired Army Command Sergeant Major, Zach served through combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, experienced loss on the battlefield, underwent open-heart surgery, and spent decades leading soldiers through situations most of us can barely imagine. Then retirement brought a different kind of battlefield. Zach found ultrarunning. Hundreds of miles. Days without adequate sleep. Pain. Exhaustion. And those dark moments when your own mind starts negotiating with you to surrender. In this episode of Fight Like David, Cowbell Rob and Brock sit down with Zach to talk about the connection between suffering and healing, the mental battles that follow us home, leadership, family, patriotism, and why Zach intentionally continues putting himself in uncomfortable situations. Zach also shares the incredible story of joining Team RWB for a record-setting 3,000-mile run across America carrying the American flag — and his battle through the Salt and Sulfur 420. But underneath the medals, military service and finish lines is something much bigger: Learning to keep yourself in the fight. Sometimes your Goliath is standing right in front of you. Sometimes it's something you've carried home from the battlefield. And sometimes it's that voice inside your own head telling you it's time to surrender. Zach's message is simple: When your back is against the wall, fight. Keep moving. Keep growing. Keep surrounding yourself with good people. And above all... Keep yourself in the fight. ⚔️ Fight Like David — Every Giant Falls. Have you overcome a giant and want to share your story? We'd love to hear from you.

    The Giant Beneath the Addiction

    THE GIANT BENEATH THE ADDICTION Jeff Dragovich is known in Las Vegas as the “Vegas Mortgage Dude,” a successful mortgage advisor who has helped thousands of families. But behind the success is a story most people never saw. Jeff spent years battling opioid addiction — a fight that eventually progressed from pills to heroin and nearly cost him his marriage, his family, and his life. In this episode of Fight Like David, Jeff gets real about the moment he looked in the mirror and knew he had a problem, the years of relapse that followed, and the moment his wife finally drew a line that forced him to decide what kind of man he wanted to become. But getting sober wasn't the end of Jeff's fight. He had to learn how to live sober. Jeff talks about surrendering to the recovery process, surrounding himself with people who could help him become better, serving others, rebuilding his relationship with his family, and confronting the deeper Goliath underneath his addiction: Feeling like he wasn't worthy. Today, Jeff is a husband, father, successful businessman, and a man who genuinely loves the life he once came dangerously close to losing. His story is a reminder that defeating one giant doesn't mean the battle is over. Sometimes the greatest transformation happens when we're willing to surrender, do the work, and stop fighting alone. ⚔️ Fight Like David — Every Giant Falls.

    Who's in your Ear?

    WHO’S IN YOUR EAR? Who has your ear? Who are the people you allow to influence your decisions, your confidence, and the way you see yourself? In this episode of Fight Like David, Cowbell Rob and Brock take a deeper look at a part of the David and Goliath story that often gets overlooked — David’s encounter with his older brother Eliab. Before David ever faced Goliath, he had to deal with a voice telling him he didn’t belong there. Sound familiar? Sometimes the loudest voices telling us we can’t do something come from people closest to us. Rob shares his own Fight Like David moment from his 420-mile journey from Salt Lake City to West Yellowstone — including the moment he was physically and emotionally broken and ready to quit. One person in his corner helped him rest, regroup, and keep moving. That leads to the challenge at the heart of this episode: Take inventory of your circle. Who builds you up?Who challenges you to grow?Who pushes you outside your comfort zone?And who keeps telling you to stay small? You may not be able to remove every negative voice from your life — but you can decide which voices get your ear. Your circle matters. Choose it wisely. Because when it’s time to face your giant, you need people in your corner reminding you that you can fight. ⚔️ Fight Like DavidEvery Giant Falls. Have you faced a giant in your own life — addiction, loss, illness, trauma, failure, fear, or something else — and fought your way through it? We want to hear your story. Reach out to Fight Like David and tell us about the giant you faced. Your story might be exactly what someone else needs to hear today.
