MISSION MADE

In Nehemiah 2, we see how God uses ordinary positions to open extraordinary doors. Nehemiah was just a cupbearer—but his faithfulness in the small things prepared him for a supernatural mission. In this episode of the Stand Firm series, we break down how to build a reputation that becomes a hedge against darkness, how to step boldly into God’s provision, and how to give Him the glory when success...

In this Stand Firm series installment, we turn to Nehemiah 1 —not to highlight his accomplishments, but to uncover the man behind them. Too often, we admire strong men of God for what they do while overlooking who they are . Nehemiah reminds us that lasting impact begins with unseen character, not public action. In this episode, we break down the qualities that made Nehemiah a man worth following...

In this episode of Mission Made, I am getting a new podcast segment started called stand firm. Stand firm is time to focus on the word - think about it like a mens bible study that you get to be apart of. We read the scripture, think about what it means, and how we can apply it to our lives as men to be valiant men of God, not weak and wimpy boys. In this inaugural episode of the segment, we are c...

Sitting on the beach with toes in the sand and waves crashing at my feet, I found myself thinking about life’s big decisions—specifically, the tension of building a home when the numbers don’t quite add up. In this episode, I share a raw reflection on what it means to lead with wisdom, to see beyond the fear of the moment, and to make decisions today that shape the decades ahead. We’ll talk about...

On this episode I talk about starting a home gym that can specifically be used for CrossFit. I discuss reasons for having a home gym in general, as well why I think you should focus on it being a CrossFit style gym.  *This was NOT mentioned in this video, but if you would like specific programming to go along side any of the phases mentioned, please let me know* I split up the path to a complete h...

In this episode of Mission Made, we explore how a simple shift in fast food—McDonald’s self-service kiosks—reveals a powerful spiritual truth. Just like people are more likely to indulge in private at a kiosk, the enemy uses isolation to make us vulnerable to sin. Host, Kyle Hammers, breaks down how Satan strategically separates us from community and accountability—and what Scripture says about st...

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and mentor, Tyler Dickerhoof — a powerhouse of wisdom, leadership, and inspiration.

On this episode of Mission Made, I'm sharing a recent learning about how to take complex things in life and break them down into smaller, approachable segments. The key to this strategy is staying connected to the big picture. This just recently went from head knowledge to heart knowledge for me. My goal in this episode is to be able to directly transplant that wisdom to you. Thank you for be...

It has been a minute! Happy to be back..this year has been both crazy and incredible. I have had some life changes that caused me to be MIA for a bit, but we have now transitioned well and it is time to get back to sharing. Excited to share with you mighty men of God what I've been up to lately and lessons lately. 

Lessons lately. Most of the lessons that we have to share, stem from some sort of short coming. We can usually share the lesson from the short coming once we process the failure and regain our footing. In that case, we share the lessons from the perspective of "I used you... xyz" However, this lesson is not something that I have recovered from yet. Will I recover and the situation work o...

I knew right away that Jak...

Today on Mission Made I am flying solo! I talk about how your sacrifice is never wasted when we are sacrificing for the Lord. I was reminded of this recently on the tail end of not being as committed to my quiet time with the Lord as I should. I got right before the Lord and sacrificed something I wanted to do, to prioritize time with him.  He met me there, and my cup was filled. My sacrifice was...

I was blessed because of this conversation, I believe you will be too...

On this short episode of Mission Made, I talk about some things that have motivated me as a kid. We all have them. Some of the motivation we have as kids sticks with us. For me there is one that sticks out the most. It is all about choosing to be blind. I have linked to video below for reference. Once you listen to this podcast, please do yourself a favor and watch the linked videos. These really...

On this episode a friend of mine, River, and I have a conversation diving into his story. River is a youth pastor, a husband, and a runner. Our friendship is fairly young, but it runs deep as most of our interaction has been in prayer. River was a day 1 guy for the mens prayer group I am a part of.

On this episode of Mission Made I got the opportunity to talk with someone who has taken CrossFit by storm over the last few years. He made his first Games appearance in 2024, after being on the cusp of making it for several years. Besides calling his shots in high level competitions, he has done a lot of cool things adding to his resume. After being declined into West Point, he landed at Ohio Sta...

On this short episode of MM, I talk about how when things don't go as planned, there is probably a reason. God's has never been caught off guard by the things that seem like roadblocks or distractions in our life. I believe that if we can have the wisdom to LOOK AROUND and SEEK GOD in those times that the plan changed (or things didn't go as planned...), we can see how God wants to...

The mission that I talk about so much involved being the best athlete as possible. This requires an athlete mindset. Most of you understand what I mean by that, but if you don't then we need to take you back to high school. You see yourself as an athlete, you have the desire to perform at a high level, but lets be honest...most of us are not the elite of the elite. Most of us are the normal,...
