In this powerful episode of No Longer Nomads, Josh sits down with Zach Duke (better known as "World Cup Dad") to unpack one of the most unbelievable stories we've ever featured. After years of chronic illness, depression, lost discipline, and feeling far from the man he knew God had called him to be, Zach found himself at a breaking point in a coffee shop. What happened next changed everything.

With no soccer background, no elite training, and nearly 40 extra pounds on his frame, Zach felt God call him to pursue an impossible goal: play in a World Cup. What followed was a journey of radical obedience, early mornings, relentless discipline, public accountability, miraculous opportunities, professional soccer contracts, ministry breakthroughs, and a faith that refused to quit.

This conversation is about far more than sports. It's about becoming the husband, father, and disciple God created you to be. It's about confronting fear, overcoming excuses, embracing hard work, and discovering what can happen when you fully surrender your "yes" to God.

If you've ever wondered whether God can still redeem lost years, reignite your passion, or use your life in ways you never imagined, this episode is for you.
