episode More Than A Game with Mitchell Dean artwork

More Than A Game with Mitchell Dean

Most men underestimate the power of surrender—the secret to transforming their lives, families, and influence. Mitchell Dean's story is proof: from a rebellious athlete to a devoted follower of Christ, he found true strength when he let go of control and asked Jesus for everything. In this episode, Mitchell shares how God used even the darkest moments—anger, brokenness, despair—to shape him into a man who now passionately influences coaches and young athletes for the Gospel. You’ll discover how true power unfolds when we stop white-knuckling life and start relying on the Holy Spirit. Mitchell unpacks the biblical truth that strength isn’t found in self-confidence, but in divine dependence—something every man desperately needs today.

A Miracle in Motion: The Story of Collin Long

On July 30, 2025, Collin Long's life changed in an instant. While working at a golf course in Auburn, Alabama, Collin suffered a traumatic brain injury that left doctors fighting to save his life. Airlifted to UAB Hospital in Birmingham, he underwent emergency surgery to remove part of his skull, repair a broken leg, and begin a battle that would stretch over months of rehabilitation in Jacksonville, Florida. This week, Collin is joined by his mother, Amy, to share their story for the first time on the podcast. Together, they reflect on the terrifying moments after the accident, the countless prayers offered on Collin's behalf, the long road to recovery, and the ways God faithfully carried them through every step. Their story is one of perseverance, hope, and the mercy of God. If you've ever questioned where God is in the middle of suffering, this conversation is a powerful reminder that He is present—even in life's darkest moments. We pray this episode encourages you to trust God's faithfulness, no matter what you're facing.

78 Episodes Later: Our Testimonies

77 episodes. Countless conversations. One faithful God. Over the last two years, we've had the privilege of sitting down with pastors, teachers, Army Rangers, law enforcement officers, coaches, and everyday men who have shared how God changed their lives. But as we looked back, we realized something—we've never really taken the time to tell our own stories. In this episode, Jamie and Timm hit reset and share their personal testimonies. From childhood and family influences to struggles, failures, seasons of growth, and moments that shaped their faith, we talk about the journey that brought us to where we are today. We also reflect on God's faithfulness through marriage, fatherhood, loss, ministry, and the unexpected path that led to this podcast. Our prayer is simple: that our stories point you to the One who has been writing them all along.
