You don’t grow without going through some rain.

The Rain Brings Growth Podcast is a raw, real, and unfiltered show about personal growth forged through adversity. Hosted by Matthew Sidwell, this podcast dives into the stories that shape who we become—faith, fitness, fatherhood, mindset, discipline, and the hard lessons learned through life’s storms.

Each episode features honest conversations with everyday people and high performers alike—law enforcement officers, entrepreneurs, parents, athletes, and individuals who have faced loss, addiction, failure, trauma, and setbacks… and chose to grow anyway.

This isn’t motivation for motivation’s sake.
It’s about:

  • Owning your past
  • Building discipline over comfort
  • Becoming a better husband, father, and leader
  • Breaking generational cycles
  • Growing stronger mentally, physically, and spiritually

Whether you’re in a season of struggle or a season of rebuilding, this podcast is a reminder that rain isn’t the end of the story—it’s the beginning of growth.

    Episode 65 | Kevin Bravo & Cody Fernley | I Blamed God for My Dad’s Death Until He Saved Me
    2026/07/13
    In Episode 65 of the Rain Brings Growth Podcast, Matt sits down with Kevin Bravo and Cody Fernley for the first three-person episode in the history of the show and a raw conversation about faith, fitness, pain, purpose, fatherhood, and what it really means to fully surrender your life to God.Kevin shares his testimony publicly in a way he never had before.At just 12 years old, Kevin lost his father after years of alcohol abuse. That loss sent him into a dark place filled with anger, confusion, guilt, depression, self-harm, drinking, smoking, and eventually thoughts of not wanting to be alive.He blamed God for taking his dad.He blamed himself for not saving him.He believed that if God was real, then God must hate him.But in one of the lowest moments of his life, Kevin finally cried out and asked God for help. What happened next completely changed the direction of his life. Fitness became an outlet. The gym gave him momentum. Faith gave him purpose. And eventually, Kevin realized that the God he spent years pushing away had been with him the entire time.Kevin opens up about the soccer coach who unknowingly planted seeds of faith in him simply through acts of service, giving him cleats, driving him to practice, and playing Christian radio in the car. Years later, those small moments became part of the path that led Kevin back to God.That journey eventually led him to drop out of college, return home, buy gym equipment from Facebook Marketplace, start a gym in his mom’s garage, and build what would become Beyond Barbell, a faith-centered gym and clothing brand focused on helping people grow spiritually, mentally, and physically.Cody also opens up about his own walk with Christ, getting baptized, joining Bible study, going through regeneration, becoming more intentional with his platform, and making the decision that he no longer wants to be known as a content creator who happens to be Christian.He wants to be known as a Christian first.This episode goes deep into what it means to stop chasing approval from the world, how your environment shapes who you become, why faith and fitness can transform a man’s life, the difference between conviction and condemnation, how to plant seeds without forcing religion on people, and why some of the smallest acts of kindness can completely change the trajectory of someone’s life.The three also talk about fatherhood, losing a dad, growing up without a consistent father figure, finding identity through the Heavenly Father, trusting God through pain, and the powerful realization that not everything happens for a reason, but God can make a reason out of everything that happened.This conversation is honest, vulnerable, funny, challenging, and deeply faith-centered.It is about three men at different points in their walks with Christ trying to become better husbands, fathers, leaders, and disciples while learning how to stand firm in a world that constantly pulls them in the opposite direction.Topics discussed:Kevin Bravo’s childhood and losing his father at 12Blaming God after his dad’s deathDepression, self-harm, anger, and suicidal thoughtsHow one Christian soccer coach planted a seed without preachingFinding God through music, prayer, and surrenderHow fitness helped Kevin rebuild his lifeOpening a gym after dropping out of collegeBuilding Beyond Barbell Gym and Beyond Barbell ClothingFaith and fitness as tools for changing a man’s lifeCody Fernley’s baptism and growing faith journeyBecoming a Christian first and content creator secondThe difference between conviction and condemnationWhy Christians should stop chasing worldly approvalHow environment, music, friendships, and social media shape your mindsetThe importance of Christian brotherhood and communityFatherhood and growing up without a steady father figureGod as a father to the fatherlessWhy not everything happens for a reasonHow God can turn pain into purposeHow to plant seeds of faith without forcing religion on peopleThe importance of standing firm in your faithSpreading the Gospel through everyday actionsWhy the gym can become a place for physical, mental, and spiritual growthFull surrender and trusting the Holy SpiritHow to help family and friends find faith without pushing them awayFollow Kevin Bravo:Beyond Barbell ClothingBeyond Barbell GymKevin Bravo on Instagram: @KevinBrvoFollow Cody Fernley:Instagram: @Cody_FernleyBevLab MediaRain Brings Growth PodcastReal stories.

  • Episode 64 | Nicole Duke | From Heroin Addiction to Healing Through Faith, Fitness, and Recovery

    Episode 64 | Nicole Duke | From Heroin Addiction to Healing Through Faith, Fitness, and Recovery
    2026/07/06

    In Episode 64 of the Rain Brings Growth Podcast, Matt sits down with Nicole Duke for one of the rawest and most powerful recovery stories shared on the show.

    Nicole opens up about growing up in Idaho as a pastor’s kid while being surrounded by addiction, crime, prison, and street life through family influences. From a young age, she was exposed to a lifestyle that looked powerful from the outside, but eventually led her into fighting, partying, stealing, selling drugs, and chasing chaos.

    What started with weed, pills, and alcohol turned into years of opioid addiction, oxy use, meth, heroin, toxic relationships, criminal behavior, and moments that should have cost Nicole everything. She shares honestly about using drugs during pregnancy, driving while high with children in the car, losing custody of her daughter, being arrested by the Greater Idaho Drug Task Force, facing trafficking and child endangerment charges, and sitting in jail wondering if she would spend years in prison.

    But this episode is not just about addiction. It is about grace.

    Nicole shares how God protected her through moments she should not have survived, how her parents never stopped praying for her, and how one final chance from her probation officer became the turning point that helped her choose recovery. She also talks about the pain of losing someone she loved to fentanyl, fighting to become a mother again, rebuilding trust, getting sober from heroin, meth, and alcohol, and learning how to live without depending on substances.

    Today, Nicole is almost five years clean from meth and heroin, over two years sober from alcohol, married, raising her family, building her faith, and using fitness as one of her biggest tools for healing. She talks about how the gym became her outlet, how fitness helped her through postpartum struggles, and why she now wants to help others through personal training, wellness, nutrition, and sharing her story online.

    This conversation dives into addiction, recovery, motherhood, faith, fitness, trauma, toxic relationships, incarceration, second chances, and what it really takes to change the people, places, and things that keep you stuck.

    Nicole’s story is honest, emotional, intense, and full of hope. It is a reminder that no matter how far gone someone feels, God can still bring them back, rebuild their life, and use their story to help someone else.

  • Episode 63 | Jon Klipstein | From Combat Veteran to Building a Mission Driven Supplement Brand

    Episode 63 | Jon Klipstein | From Combat Veteran to Building a Mission Driven Supplement Brand
    2026/06/29

    In Episode 63 of the Rain Brings Growth Podcast, Matt sits down with Jon Klipstein, Army combat veteran, entrepreneur, and founder of The Die Trying Company.

    Jon’s story starts in Billings, Montana, where he grew up around sports but eventually fell into partying, drugs, alcohol, and the wrong crowd. After moving around, building success in sales, losing everything during the 2008 housing crash, and realizing his life had no real direction, Jon made a decision that changed everything. He joined the Army.

    What started with barely being able to pass a PT test turned into Jon becoming one of the fastest soldiers in basic training. Through discipline, running, fitness, and military structure, Jon found purpose, identity, and a mission bigger than himself.

    In this episode, Jon opens up about his time in the Army, deploying to Afghanistan, the brotherhood of combat, PTSD, anxiety, veteran suicide, and the difficult transition back into civilian life. He also shares how fitness became one of his strongest forms of therapy after the military and how that passion eventually led him into the supplement industry.

    Jon breaks down the story behind building his supplement company, why safe and effective ingredients matter, the death of a fellow soldier after taking a dangerous pre-workout, the lessons he learned from starting a business with only $10,000, and why mission matters more than money.

    This conversation goes deep into military leadership, entrepreneurship, veteran mental health, fitness, supplements, TikTok Live, building a brand, mentorship, taking ownership, and what it really takes to keep going when business gets hard.

    Jon also shares the evolution from UXO Supplements to The Die Trying Company, why the name change mattered, how the brand became more than supplements, and why he wants every product they launch to be one of the best on the market.

    This episode is for veterans, entrepreneurs, fitness lovers, supplement users, and anyone who has ever had to rebuild their life from the ground up.
