In this episode of the Foundational Fathers Podcast, hosts Nick Sash (The Mute Bass Player) and Marcus sit down with Steve Neace II to close out the Reset–Restructure–Resist arc with one powerful word: Renew.

Renewal isn’t hype—it’s sustainability. This conversation explores what it means to maintain what God has already started. From spiritual structure and resisting temptation to the power of community, service, and surrender, this episode challenges men to position themselves where God is already moving. Renewal is not passive—it’s a daily decision to stand firm, trust God, and stay engaged even when faith feels costly.
