    Breland Almadova - Faith, Rejection, and Perseverance in Sport

    In this episode of Built By Faith, Steve Vencl sits down with Breland for an honest conversation about rejection, resilience, and the role faith plays in shaping identity. Breland shares what it was like being released by more than a dozen teams throughout his career and the lessons he learned through perseverance, discipline, and trust in God’s plan. Through the highs and lows of sport, he discovered that faith is not just something we talk about when things are going well, it becomes the foundation that carries us through the hardest seasons. This conversation explores the deeper questions athletes and competitors often wrestle with: What happens when success disappears? How do you stay grounded when your identity has been tied to performance? And how does faith reshape the way we see setbacks, failure, and calling? Built By Faith is a podcast about the stories that shape us, the adversity, discipline, and faith that build the people we become.

    Daniel Champagne — Obedience in the Unexpected

    This conversation marks the beginning of a new season and direction, now called Built By Faith. In this first episode of Built By Faith, Steve sits down with Daniel Champagne to talk about the quiet ways God works through unexpected seasons. After a back injury in 2020 disrupted his path in the fitness world, Daniel found himself in a season of uncertainty. What followed wasn’t a clear plan, but small steps of obedience, including taking a job in a coffee shop, that God used to open the door to the work he’s in today. They talk about learning to trust God when the direction isn’t clear, the role of community and vulnerability, and how faith is often formed through ordinary decisions made one step at a time.
