Leo Clark: The Fight Is Bigger Than You

Everyone wants to be a champion. No one wants to get punched in the mouth.

In this episode of Men at the Movies, we explore Cinderella Man through the real life story of Leo Clark. On the verge of playing professional basketball, Leo’s dream ended with one injury. What followed were even heavier blows: the death of his father, homelessness, and more than 60 straight rejections looking for work.

But what if the fight is not punishment? What if it is preparation?

We talk about resilience, humility, rejection, asking for help, and discovering that the battle you survived may be shaping you for something bigger than yourself. This conversation is for Christian men navigating failure, loss, identity, and purpose, and for small group leaders looking to spark meaningful discussion.

If you’ve ever wondered why God allows the punches, this episode is for you.
