Today, I’m diving into how hustle culture can quietly erode my peace and purpose. Losing Myself in the Hustle — and Finding God in the Silence isn’t just a phrase—it’s been my lived experience. I’ve burned the midnight oil, chased one deadline after another, and convinced myself that if I just worked harder, I’d finally feel fulfilled. Spoiler alert: that approach never delivered what it promised. Instead, it pulled me away from what truly matters—my family, my joy, and my relationship with God. That’s why I’m learning to find a healthier balance between hustle and heart. When I invite God into my work, it stops feeling like a chore and becomes something meaningful, grounded in purpose rather than pressure. So grab a seat, settle in, and let’s walk through what it really looks like to work hard without losing who we are in the process.

Diving straight into the heart of hustle culture, I share a personal story that mirrors the struggle so many of us face when the grind starts overshadowing the things—and the people—that matter most. Picture this: it’s midnight, the world outside is silent, and I’m still hunched over a pile of paperwork, convincing myself that one more email will finally give me peace. Spoiler alert: it never did. That kind of busyness was a lie I told myself, a distraction masking a deeper longing for connection and purpose. Over time, that mindset slowly eroded my relationships with my wife, Jennifer, and our boys. The turning point came when Jennifer, with a heavy heart, told me I was physically present but emotionally gone. That conversation shook me. It was a wake-up call that forced me to see that my worth was never meant to be measured by output, but by the love, attention, and presence I bring into my home and into the lives of the people I cherish most.

We’re diving deep into how screens have basically taken over parenting these days, and it's a wild ride! Seriously, everywhere you look, kids are glued to their devices while parents are off in their own digital worlds. It’s like we’re losing that good ol’ family connection, y’know? In this episode, we unpack Parenting in a Digital Age: Raising Discerning Children—how we can guide our kiddos to not just scroll through life but actually think, filter, and discern what’s true and meaningful. So if you've ever felt like you're sitting right next to your family but somehow still miles apart, this one's for you. Let’s tackle the challenge of this tech-obsessed world and find real ways to bring back good vibes, deeper connection, and genuine presence in our homes.

We're diving into this wild world where screens seem to be taking over parenting. I mean, seriously, have you seen those kids glued to their phones while their parents are busy scrolling and swiping? It's like a digital circus, and guess what? We're losing that oh-so-important family connection. I had this moment at dinner recently, watching everyone in their own little tech bubble. No laughter, no chatter, just the hum of devices filling the silence. It hit me hard – we’re losing something sacred, folks. So, how do we flip the script? How do we raise kids who don’t just consume content but actually think for themselves? We’re talking real parenting – presence over pixels, purpose over pandemonium. Let's navigate this chaotic digital landscape together and rediscover how to lead our families back to what truly matters.
In our episode, we hit on some real stats that’ll knock your socks off: teens are spending over eight hours a day in front of screens and, let’s be real, this isn’t just a tech problem – it’s a discipleship crisis. With anxiety and depression rates skyrocketing among teens, it’s clear we’ve got to step up our game. So, how do we reclaim our homes? It starts with intentionality. We need to integrate faith into our daily lives and make God’s word a regular part of our conversations, not just something we pull out on Sundays. We need to model that behavior ourselves because, let’s face it, kids can sniff out hypocrisy faster than we can say “screen time.” Let’s create tech-free zones, embrace family dinners without devices, and replace distractions with genuine connection.
And here’s a little challenge for you: what if we made discipleship as consistent as our Wi-Fi signal? Imagine if we put as much effort into our family faith life as we do into keeping our internet speeds up to par. This episode isn’t just a wake-up call – it’s a battle cry. We’ve got the power to shape our kids’ hearts, and it starts today. So, grab your family, turn off those screens, and let’s chat about what really matters. We can start small, but it’s all about taking those steps toward reclaiming our family’s focus on faith, love, and connection. Let’s do this together!

I’m diving into the vibes of my brand-new theme song today — and trust me, it’s a banger. This track is all about cutting through the chaos of the world and grabbing hold of the truth that keeps us grounded. Life’s loud, right? With all the noise, fear, and confusion swirling around us, we all need something real to hold on to. So today, I’m talking about how this song reminds me to stand firm when everything feels shaky… and to keep looking for that light when things get dark.
I take a deep dive into the wild landscape of today’s world — a place where headlines twist, spin, and overwhelm us if we’re not careful. There have been days when I’ve felt that confusion personally, where the noise of culture tries to drown out the whisper of truth. But right in the middle of that whirlwind, there’s this quiet, steady voice nudging me toward a narrower, better path — one that leads to clarity and understanding.
That’s really what this episode is about. In a world that keeps shifting under our feet, truth stays steady. And when everything seems to be falling apart, holding firm to what’s real can light the way forward. I share a few laughs, a few groans about the state of things, and some real talk about navigating the madness — but ultimately, I’m pointing us back to the light that breaks through the dark. So grab your headphones and settle in, because I’m pulling back the curtain on the truths that matter most right now.
And look — with everything feeling uncertain lately, I don’t shy away from the heavy stuff. Inflation, cultural pressure, the constant push to redefine who we are… it all steals our peace if we’re not paying attention. Honestly, it can feel like we’re all stuck in a boat on a stormy sea. But here’s the kicker: this is where faith steps in. This is where it becomes the compass that guides us when the waves of doubt start crashing.
Throughout the conversation, I’m unpacking the illusions that surround us and the clarity that comes from aligning our lives with something unchanging. I remind you — and myself — that it’s okay to question your identity and values, especially when the world seems on fire. This isn’t just a podcast episode; it’s a heartfelt conversation with anyone who’s searching for hope, direction, and peace.
In the backdrop of all this, I also get to celebrate the release of my new theme song — a track that captures the heart of this journey. It reflects the struggles, the triumphs, and the pursuit of truth that we explore every week. And before I wrap up, I invite you to join the community where we keep these conversations going… where we can encourage each other, challenge each other, and walk this path toward truth together.
So tune in, sing along, and let’s keep pressing into the clarity that makes life a little less crazy — and a whole lot more meaningful.

We’re diving deep into the crazy world of our inner voices today, and trust me, it’s a wild ride! You know that little whisper inside of you? Yeah, that’s your conscience trying to steer you right, but what happens when we tell it to zip it? Spoiler alert: things can go south real quick. We’re sharing the cautionary tales of everyday folks who made that one choice to silence their inner guide, leading to some seriously gnarly consequences. So, grab your headphones and let’s chat about keeping it real with ourselves and the cost of ignoring that inner compass—“Silencing Your Conscience: The Dangers of Ignoring Conviction.”
Check out the full podcast episode here
Every single one of us has that little voice inside, right? You know, the one that nudges us toward what’s right and warns us about what’s wrong. Some folks call it a gut feeling or a moral compass, but whatever you name it, when we ignore it, things can go sideways real quick. This episode dives into the stories of everyday people, not the villains from history, but regular folks who made the choice to silence that inner voice. These cautionary tales show us how one decision can lead to a cascade of consequences, and trust me, the cost of ignoring that voice is way higher than we think. So grab a cozy seat, and let’s reflect on how we can avoid making the same mistakes as Alex, Maria, and Ben, who each faced their own crossroads and chose convenience over conscience, leading to some serious life implosions.
We kick things off with Alex, who had it all: a corner office, a loving family, and a reputation for integrity. But when he faced a tough call at work and decided to silence his conscience, he opened the door to a secret life that spiraled out of control. The pressure of ambition got to him, and he justified his choice to ignore his morals, leading to a web of deceit that ultimately destroyed everything he held dear. This tale serves as a stark reminder that once you silence your conscience, it gets easier to do it again, paving the way for a life of lies and regret.
Then there's Maria, a beloved teacher who found herself caught up in the thrill of an affair. It all began innocently enough with a compliment from a charming new colleague, but she soon found herself justifying her actions and distancing herself from her loyal partner, Ben. As her secret life escalated, so did the guilt, creating a toxic atmosphere that alienated her from her friends and family. The fallout was brutal, leaving her alone and heartbroken, a stark reminder that ignoring our conscience can lead to self-destruction in our personal lives.
Finally, we meet Ben, who grappled with the sin of silence. He witnessed bullying at work but chose to stay quiet, fearing the repercussions. His inaction not only hurt others but also eroded his own self-respect. Ben’s journey shows us that sometimes, doing nothing can be just as damaging as making a wrong choice. Each story ties back to the essential truth: your conscience is your soul’s defense system. When you ignore it, you compromise your values, and the consequences can ripple through every aspect of your life. So let’s tune into that inner voice and remember that peace of mind from a clear conscience is priceless.
