Words have the power to heal or to wound, to lift up or to tear down. In this episode, John and Victor reflect on how easily criticism can slip into our relationships and how speaking life and encouragement can completely change the atmosphere of a home, workplace or any environment.

They discuss how men often crave affirmation but struggle to give it, and why choosing words of grace, kindness and love can break cycles of hurt that run through generations.

If you’ve ever caught yourself being more critical than kind, this conversation is a reminder that every word you speak carries weight.

St. Paul urges us to “compete well for the faith.” But what does that look like in everyday life, especially at home with the people who matter most?

In this episode, John and Victor open up about how easy it is to pour yourself into work or ministry while giving your loved ones only the leftovers, and how the real measure of faith is not just in what we do publicly but in how we love privately. Through Scripture, honesty, and reflection, they explore what it means to run the race with patience, humility, and love.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re truly living out your faith where it counts, this conversation will challenge you to pause, reflect, and recommit to competing well.

Friendship is one of the greatest gifts God gives us, but too often men settle for surface-level relationships. In this episode, John welcomes one of his closest friends, Nick Roberts, for a candid conversation about faith, brotherhood, and the power of walking through life with a friend.

God designed us to walk side by side. Whether it’s men’s groups, accountability partners, recreational sports teams, or anything in between: you will benefit from finding brothers in Christ who will not only make you laugh, but also call you higher.

We live in a world of constant noise. Phones, notifications, schedules, and other distractions keep us running without rest. And yet, so many of us cry out, “Why can’t I hear God?”

In this episode, John shares a personal reflection on how God speaks. Not through the noise, but in the silence, in the whisper. Drawing from Scripture, the saints, and his own story, he explains why we struggle to hear God’s voice and how we can return to the quiet places where He waits for us.

If you’ve been longing for direction, peace, or simply to know God is near, this episode is your invitation to slow down, be still, and listen for His whisper.

So much of our struggle in life comes down to one question: do we know who we are in God?

In this episode, John welcomes Carrie Daunt—wife, mother of nine, and speaker with the John Paul II Healing Center—for a powerful conversation on identity and family life. Carrie shares how her newest book, Beloved Son, helps parents speak truth into their children’s hearts, and why reclaiming our identity as beloved sons and daughters of the Father is the foundation for healing and freedom.

Carrie and John also reflect on the challenges men and women face in living out their vocations, the importance of fathers manning their post, and how ordering our lives with God at the center changes everything.
