From Resistance to Redemption: When Surrender Changes Everything

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2310968/fan_mail/new] What happens when someone who once wanted nothing to do with God completely surrenders their life to Him? In this episode of The FCA Locker Room, we sit down with Rich Wright — pastor, longtime FCA volunteer, and a man whose life is a powerful testimony of transformation. From building a career in business to actively resisting faith, Rich shares what his life looked like before Christ, what began to shift in his heart, and the moment everything changed. Today, Rich is living out his faith through service — planting a church in his hometown, mentoring athletes as a character coach at Marist, serving as a team chaplain, and investing in the lives of others through FCA and beyond. This conversation is a reminder that no one is too far gone, and that God can take any story and turn it into something meaningful and impactful. If you’ve ever felt resistant to faith, uncertain about your purpose, or wondering if God can really use your life — this episode is for you.

Seen by God: Dylan’s Journey Through Deafness, Identity, and Faith

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2310968/fan_mail/new] In this episode of The Locker Room, Justin sits down with Dylan and Gavin for a powerful conversation about identity, pain, belonging, and the life-changing truth of Christ. Dylan shares what it was like growing up with hearing impairment, wrestling with loneliness, rejection, and questions about why God made him the way he is. Together, the guys talk honestly about how athletes and men often search for worth in sports, relationships, approval, and performance—when true identity can only be found in Jesus. The conversation also shines a light on the Deaf community as a largely unreached people group and challenges listeners to think differently about access, inclusion, and gospel ministry. This episode is honest, vulnerable, and full of hope for anyone who has ever wrestled with feeling different, unseen, or not enough.

Diamonds & Discipleship: When the Dugout Becomes a Mission Field

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2310968/fan_mail/new] In this episode of The FCA Locker Room, we sit down with Meg Michel — softball coach, youth leader, and prospective FCA Hudson Valley staff member — to talk about what it really means to coach for something bigger than wins and losses. Meg’s journey started on the softball field at just four years old. From varsity captain to collegiate athlete, and now Head Coach of a 16U travel program, the game has always been part of her story. But what’s even more powerful is how God has used the game to shape her calling. We talk about: * How coaching became ministry * Leading prayer and Bible studies with her teams * Inviting athletes into church and real faith conversations * Helping players understand their identity beyond stats and performance * The tension (and courage) of living out your faith publicly in sports * And her growing call to serve through FCA in Orange County Meg shares what it looks like to be salt and light in dugouts, on bus rides, and in everyday conversations with athletes who are searching for purpose. If you’re a coach, athlete, or parent wondering how faith can be woven into sport in a genuine and impactful way — this episode will encourage you. Because the field isn’t just a place to compete. It’s a place to disciple.

The Hidden Trap in High Performance: Tying Worth to Results

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2310968/fan_mail/new] What happens when the thing you love becomes the thing that’s draining you? In this episode, Noah Tindale—former D1 runner and now Youth & Young Adults Director at Princetown Church—opens up about stepping away from coaching and learning to live within God-given limits. From “doing 200%” to choosing one lane, Noah shares how identity in Christ reshapes the way we work, compete, rest, and lead. Justin and Noah talk burnout, performance pressure, and why athletes struggle to separate who they are from what they do—plus how abiding with God brings peace whether you’re first in the standings or last. And you’ll hear practical leadership wisdom on building the kind of inner circle that keeps you grounded when the pressure rises. social media for Noah: @RockLifestudents

Identity beyond the helmet

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2310968/fan_mail/new] What happens when success on the field doesn’t bring the fulfillment you expected? In this episode of The FCA Locker Room, we sit down with Mike McLaughlin, Southern Maine Area Director for FCA, to hear his powerful journey from high-level college and NFL football to a life transformed by Christ. Mike shares what it was like competing at the highest levels of the game without faith, how his identity was shaped by performance, and the moment God began drawing him to something more. We talk about finding true purpose beyond wins and losses, how FCA played a role in Mike’s faith journey, and what it looks like to step into a calling rooted in joy, freedom, and a personal relationship with Jesus. This conversation is for athletes, coaches, and anyone searching for meaning beyond success. Whether you’re in the middle of competition or navigating life after sport, Mike’s story is a reminder that our greatest purpose isn’t found in what we achieve—but in who we were created to know.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
