I Gave My Life to God… So Why Was Everything Falling Apart? (Part 3) | Let’s Parley EP 48

I finally decided to fully pursue God… so why did everything still feel like it was falling apart? After moving to Austin, I genuinely believed I was heading in the right direction. I was getting closer to God, surrounding myself with stronger believers, building healthier habits, and trying to create something meaningful through my business. But behind the scenes… I was struggling. Spiritually. Emotionally. Financially. In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I continue the story (Part 3) — sharing how one of the most spiritually transformative seasons of my life also became one of the most difficult. We talk about: * Moving to Austin and trying to rebuild my life with God at the center * How Christian community helped reshape my perspective * The physical and spiritual transformation that came from 75 Hard * My continued struggles with dating, lust, and validation * Launching Fit in Faith and the pressure that came with rapid growth * Why I became angry with God when things started falling apart again * The isolation, financial stress, and internal battles that followed * Why moving to Houston with my brother became necessary for my healing and growth This episode is for anyone who thought following God would immediately make life easier… Anyone trying to break old cycles but still battling temptation… And anyone learning that surrender and transformation is a process, not a moment. Sometimes God allows things to fall apart… so you can finally build your life on the right foundation. This is Part 3 of the series. Ready to Build Discipline, Structure, and Alignment?

In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I continue the story (Part 2) — sharing what happened after I made that one decision, how my life quickly turned into a roller coaster, and how I went from feeling aligned… to completely losing direction. We talk about: * The decision to quit my job and go all-in on my purpose * How a viral moment led to an unexpected opportunity on reality TV * The emotional highs and lows after Big Brother * Moving to LA and stepping into a completely different lifestyle * The habits and decisions that slowly pulled me away from who I was * How everything began to spiral — financially, mentally, and spiritually This episode is for anyone chasing a big opportunity… Anyone who’s experienced success but still felt lost… And anyone trying to find their way back after drifting from who they know they’re called to be.

They Brought Up My Past… So Let’s Talk About It | Let's Parley EP 45

Someone left a comment on one of my recent posts… and it made me stop and think. Do they have a point? Or are they completely missing the mark? The comment brought up my past — specifically my time on reality TV — and questioned how I could speak on being a “man of God” after what people saw. And honestly… I don’t run from that. In this episode of the Let’s Parley Podcast, I break down the comment, my initial reaction to it, and what I took away from the situation. We talk about: •The reality of having your past brought up publicly •Why I don’t shy away from my past — I embrace it as my testimony •The difference between living in your past vs being transformed from it •Why my message isn’t based on my authority — but on God’s Word •How to handle criticism when you’re walking in a new direction This episode is for anyone who feels defined by their past… Anyone who’s been called out or misunderstood… And anyone learning how to stand firm in who God is calling them to be. Your past doesn’t disqualify you. It can actually be the very thing God uses to reach others. Ready to Build Discipline, Structure, and Alignment?
