I continue our study through the book of Ephesians 6:17 -

17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Ephesians 6:16 -

16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;

Shield of Faith And Why Faith Is So Important.

I had a great conversation with Bryan Vashus, head wrestling coach at Bartlesville High School, and I think you’re really going to enjoy this one.

We talk about faith, family, wrestling, leadership, and the journey that brought Bryan and his family to Bartlesville, Oklahoma. And you know me, we even have rabbit trails we chase...so it was quite a fun conversation.

Wrestling is about much more than what happens on the mat. It teaches discipline, perseverance, toughness, humility, and how to keep moving forward when things get difficult—and Bryan shares some great insight into how those lessons carry over into everyday life.

We also spend time talking about what matters most: faith, family, investing in young people, and making an impact in the community God has placed you in.

If you love wrestling, Bartlesville, leadership, or hearing the stories behind the people shaping our community, you’ll want to check this episode out.

In this episode of The Caleb Gordon Podcast, Caleb sits down with Aaron D. Minard, whom he first met at a 94X Movement chapter meeting, for an honest conversation about one of the hardest commands in Scripture: forgiveness.

How do we forgive people who have deeply hurt us—especially when we believe they do not deserve it? Aaron shares biblical wisdom, practical insight, and encouragement for releasing bitterness, trusting God with justice, and walking in the freedom that forgiveness brings.
