What if the strongest moments of your life were the ones where you finally ran out of strength? That’s the heartbeat of this week’s conversation as we trace two very different paths to the same Saviour—and the unexpected places he met us: a silent work truck, a coffee shop, and a terrifying night cut short by a simple prayer in Jesus’ name.

Colton opens up about growing up in church, chasing a body image forged by movie icons, and the revenge fantasy that secretly powered his workouts. When his dad’s sudden illness left doctors baffled, the family learned to trust God without answers, supported by mentors who showed what biblical manhood looks like in real life. A brush with occult practices led to a frightening spiritual encounter that ended the moment his Mom prayed. Later, fitness became an idol and social media a mirror for pride. Stepping away created space for God to work—on anger, forgiveness, and patience—through a season of quiet in the bush where even the radio was silent.

Craig’s story begins in a broken home, steadied by a grandmother who kept taking him to church. A coffee shop prayer brought an unmistakable wave of peace, but criticism and drift pulled him into weed and small-time runs until a brutal “greening out” snapped the chain. A move to a small town, a faithful youth pastor, and a girl who invited him back to church became God’s breadcrumbs home. Marriage brought joy and grief, and years of chasing passive income exposed the lie that time freedom equals soul freedom. Scripture’s warning about the love of money hit home, and a stable job, steady service, and renewed obedience restored direction.

We talk about identity, spiritual warfare, leadership at home, and why real men need more than motivation—they need formation. Expect practical encouragement for husbands, fathers, and sons to lead with Scripture, pray out loud, ask forgiveness fast, and serve quietly with strength. If you’re tired of performing and ready to build a life that lasts, this one’s for you.
