Check out the full story of Jackson's encounter with God on The Roar Podcast on Apple and Spotify....

Real transformation isn't defined by one dramatic moment. It's built through the decisions and disciplines that follow.

In this special episode of Prime Pursuit, John shares part of a powerful conversation with Jackson Hawkins, originally recorded for The Roar Podcast. Jackson's journey includes addiction, gangs, homelessness, repeated arrests and, ultimately, a prison sentence.

But his story changed in the back of a police car when he prayed, "God, permanently change me—and do not let me out until it is done."

Jackson explains how faith helped him reject his former identity, develop discipline inside prison and begin rebuilding his life. Today, he is sober, a father, a business owner and a man committed to helping others discover that their past does not have to determine their future.

This episode explores what happens after rock bottom—and how pressure, faith, obedience and consistent daily action can transform a life.

Better health. Deeper purpose. This is Prime Pursuit.

Topics include:

• Addiction and recovery
• Faith after rock bottom
• Discipline versus motivation
• Rebuilding your identity
• Finding purpose through adversity
• Escaping complacency and the comfort zone
• Fatherhood, business and personal responsibility

Testosterone is not just a "male hormone," and testosterone replacement therapy is neither a miracle nor a menace. John Garrett explains how testosterone functions in men and women, who may have a legitimate reason to consider treatment, what benefits are realistic, and why diagnosis and monitoring matter. The episode also breaks down the FDA's decision to remove the boxed cardiovascular-risk warning while strengthening blood-pressure warnings.

Prime Pursuit is a podcast about building a stronger body, a sharper mind, and a life with deeper purpose.

Hosted by John Garrett, Prime Pursuit explores the intersection of health, fitness, longevity, mindset, faith, and personal growth—without hype, extremes, or unnecessary complexity.

Episodes break down the ideas, treatments, trends, habits, and conversations shaping modern health and wellness, from strength training, hormones, nutrition, recovery, and emerging therapies to mental resilience, relationships, purpose, and Christian faith.

Some episodes go deep into the science. Others feature conversations with experts, entrepreneurs, clinicians, athletes, and people with stories worth hearing. But every episode comes back to the same question:

How do we become better physically, mentally, and spiritually—and make the years ahead some of our best?

This isn't about chasing perfection.

It's about pursuing your prime.

Prime Pursuit — Better Health. Deeper Purpose.
