The Buddy Foy Jr Show

Send us Fan Mail If I could step in the ring with one spirit right now, it would be the spirit of busyness. Not work. Not responsibility. Not building something meaningful. Busyness. The spirit that makes you feel productive… but leaves you empty. In this episode, Buddy breaks down one of the most subtle attacks on leaders today — constant distraction. Not catastrophe. Not crisis. Just endless act...

Send us Fan Mail What happens when faith finally clicks? In this episode of The Buddy Foy Jr. Show, Buddy shares a personal breakthrough—how years of struggle, discipline, and spiritual training created real space for the Holy Spirit to move. This isn’t theory. It’s lived experience. Building on last week’s episode “Making Room for the Holy Spirit,” Buddy unpacks how discernment became the missing...

Send us Fan Mail Your Joy Is Being Hunted Your joy isn’t drifting away. It’s being hunted. If the enemy can’t take your soul, he’ll go after your joy — because joy fuels strength, endurance, and leadership. This week, I was tested with real disrespect. The old fighter in me showed up. But I didn’t take the bait. Here’s what Scripture taught me about posture, ego, and protecting your joy under pres...

Send us Fan Mail Short Description: You don’t rise to the moment. You fall to your systems. In this episode, Buddy gets real about intensity, ego, and leadership under pressure. Strength isn’t the problem. Lack of control is. Power without discipline destroys rooms. Fire without structure burns houses. Are people safe around your strength — or careful around it? This one might sting. 🎙 Full Podcas...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Title: The System Behind Steadiness Description: Most leaders don’t fail under pressure. They fail before it. In this episode, Buddy unpacks the system that helped him win a battle he would have lost five years ago — not through intensity, but through structure. From the restaurant kitchen to scripture, this episode explores: The cost of divided loyalty Why reaction kills...

Send us Fan Mail The hardest part of a faith walk isn’t believing God exists—it’s trusting Him in the space between prayer and outcome. Today we open that in‑between and get honest about control, exhaustion, and the daily practice of choosing belief before evidence. If you’ve ever felt the pull to manage every variable while waiting on an answer, you’ll hear language and stories that ground your n...

Send us Fan Mail This episode was born out of a moment — a message I heard this past weekend at church in Hoboken, New Jersey, while attending with my daughter. The teaching was from the Book of Ruth , and it hit me differently this time. Ruth isn’t just a love story.  It isn’t just a redemption story.  It’s a story about what faith looks like when we’re wounded . In this episode, we walk through...

Send us Fan Mail Life gets heavy.  And if we’re honest, most of the time we carry far more than God ever asked us to. In this episode of The Buddy Foy Jr. Show , I wrestle openly with the tension between faith and fatigue — between knowing what scripture says and still trying to handle everything on my own. We unpack powerful passages from Psalms, Matthew, and 1 Kings , including Elijah’s collapse...

Send us Fan Mail Life is short. And sometimes it takes loss to remind us just how fragile time really is. In this episode of The Buddy Foy Jr Show, Buddy reflects on the recent passing of a childhood classmate and what it revealed about time, grace, and legacy. Growing up in a graduating class of just eleven students—and now having lost three—makes time impossible to ignore. It’s no longer a conce...

Send us Fan Mail New year, new lens on time. Instead of chasing urgency, we explore how scripture reframes the calendar as something to steward with wisdom. From Psalms 90:12 to James 4:14, we talk about redeeming the time, seeking the kingdom first, and stepping away from the noise that keeps us anxious and unfocused. That path isn’t smooth; resistance often spikes the moment faith becomes visibl...

Send us Fan Mail We trace the bold claim of Romans 8 and Galatians 4 —that we are heirs with Christ—and show how that identity reshapes favor, repentance, and everyday courage. Stories from Turkey, a Manhattan boardroom, and our family bring the theology down to the street level. • heir identity reframes favor from earning to belonging • public devotion as a mirror for quiet faith • behavior as th...

Send us Fan Mail Scripture: Luke 15:11-32: Prodigal Son.  Bible scriptures that emphasize the call to repentance: 2 Chronicles 7:14 : “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” Acts 3:19 : “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your si...

Send us Fan Mail From an empty-nester European getaway to a spiritual jolt in a Turkish mosque — this episode is the turning point. Buddy recounts how a simple stop at the House of the Virgin Mary turned into one of the most unexpected, eye-opening conversations of his life. A bold Turkish tour guide, a plaque quoting the Quran about Jesus and Mary, and a candid dialogue about faith, idolatry, ext...

Send us Fan Mail Wind on the mic, ruins underfoot, and a challenge that won’t let go. We recorded on location in Ephesus to trace how John and Paul preached into a bustling trade hub where pagan worship, philosophy, and profit collided—and why the words to the church in Revelation 2 still land like a bell in our moment. With help from a brilliant Muslim guide who knows the Scriptures, the myths, a...

Send us Fan Mail A cultural shockwave overnight forced us to shelve a planned travel story and wrestle with a harder truth: when a nation sweeps God out of public life, it does not become neutral—it becomes vacant. And vacant houses don’t stay empty. Drawing from Isaiah’s piercing warnings and Jesus’ “empty house” teaching in Matthew 12, we trace how institutions without a rooted moral center get...

Send us Fan Mail A simple travel plan—celebrate the empty nest, get a long-awaited hair transplant, see a few sights—turned into a spiritual jolt I didn’t see coming. From the first call to prayer echoing across Istanbul, I felt a nudge to pay attention: to public faith, to daily rhythms that shape identity, and to a hospitality that flowed from shared standards. What started as a personal errand...

Send us Fan Mail A dead end in Barcelona forced us straight through a roaring protest, and that ten-minute walk became a mirror for a much bigger battle. The streets were peaceful, but the messaging was not. No counterpoint, no conversation—just a single, surging narrative. Back in Bordeaux, staring out over vines and stone, I kept hearing Isaiah’s warning about calling evil good and good evil. It...

Send us Fan Mail A grieving widow extends forgiveness, and the room goes quiet. We pause there—on the shock of mercy—and trace why that moment felt so rare in a world that calls bitter sweet and light darkness. From Isaiah 5:20–21 to the noise of modern media, we examine how moral confusion takes root when we drift from God, and how returning to a shared compass restores both clarity and courage....

Send us Fan Mail A world that calls darkness “light” can make faith feel like walking upstream. We open the Scriptures not as scholars, but as learners—honest about our flaws and bold about our hope—and trace a straight line from Isaiah’s warnings to today’s moral confusion. With Ecclesiastes as ballast, we reject the myth that our moment is unprecedented and find peace in God’s steady hand, even...

Send us Fan Mail The murder of Charlie Kirk has awakened a sleeping giant in the Christian community. After a year and a half away from podcasting, this powerful return episode dives deep into the spiritual battle raging around us and what it means for believers in today's polarized world. Scripture provides our foundation as we explore Isaiah 5:20-21, which warns against calling evil good an...
