What happens when you spend your entire life chasing the ultimate peak of human achievement, only to realize the view from the top is empty?

In this powerful episode, we sit down with a world-class Paralympic competitor Garrett Geros, who reached the absolute pinnacle of global sports, only to discover that the applause of the stadium was just a vapor. Drawing straight from the hard-hitting wisdom of Ecclesiastes, our guest opens up about the reality of life "under the sun," the exhaustion of chasing temporal glory, and the radical, life-altering moment they walked away from it all to follow Jesus Christ.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to leave behind worldly success for a greater kingdom—or why earthly triumphs can never truly satisfy the soul—this is the conversation you cannot miss.

Key Takeaways:

• The "Hevel" Reality: Why reaching the top of the sports world can still leave a champion feeling completely empty inside.
• Chasing the Wind: The hidden trap of living strictly for applause, status, and temporary markers of success.
• The Ultimate Trade: What it actually looks like to surrender global status, switch directions, and lay everything at the feet of Jesus.
• Finding True Permanence: How Scripture reframes ambition, labor, and what it means to win a prize that never fades.

What do you do when you know Jesus cares about you… but the storm still comes?

In this episode, we look at two powerful moments in Scripture: Jesus weeping at the tomb of Lazarus and Jesus calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee. In both moments, we see something that can be difficult to understand—Jesus is present, Jesus cares, and yet pain and storms still happen.

Sometimes Jesus calms the storm. Sometimes He meets us in the middle of it. But one thing remains true: your storm is never proof that Jesus has abandoned you.

If you're going through fear, grief, confusion, or a season where God feels silent, this conversation is a reminder that Jesus sees your pain, cares about your tears, and is still with you—even when the storm hasn't stopped yet.

Jesus wept.
The storm still came.
But Jesus was still there.

In this episode of Called and Running, we ask one of the most important questions every believer must answer: Who is your master—Jesus or the world?

We dive into what Scripture says about the posture of our hearts, the daily battle between following Christ and chasing the things of this world, and what it truly means to walk the narrow path. We also discuss how the modern Church can encourage, challenge, and hold one another accountable so that no one has to walk this journey alone.

Then we tackle one of Christianity's most debated topics: megachurches. Are they inherently bad, or are we asking the wrong questions? Instead of judging a church by its size, we explore the biblical standards that actually matter: Is the gospel being faithfully preached? Is the doctrine biblically sound? Is there genuine spiritual fruit? Is there authentic community and discipleship? Are people being reached with the love and truth of Jesus?

Our goal isn't to defend or condemn any particular church, but to encourage believers to evaluate every ministry through the lens of God's Word rather than public opinion.

Whether you're a new believer, have questions about finding a church home, or simply want to grow deeper in your walk with Christ, this conversation will challenge you to examine your heart and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.

Key Scriptures: Matthew 6:24, Matthew 7:13–20, John 13:35, Hebrews 10:24–25, Galatians 5:22–23, Acts 2:42–47.
