After spending 6 years sick with a mystery illness and 15 years in full-time ministry, World Cup Dad Zach Duke reveals how a single prayer in a Virginia coffee shop led him from a rec league where 40-year-old women stole the ball from him to Brazil's 2026 World Cup roster — and why he almost didn't obey the one word God gave him!

Zach Duke is a full-time missionary who has served in over 40 countries since 2010, a former Division 1 football player who had never played soccer, and a newly-signed member of Brazil's 2026 FIFA World Cup indoor team. He is the founder of World Cup Dad, a platform challenging men to push their bodies, faith, and discipline to the edge, and descends from the William Wallace clan.

He explains:

◼️ The three-sentence "dangerous prayer" that ended 6 years of chronic illness in a single afternoon

◼️ Why he gave himself a 0.0001% chance of making the World Cup — and wrote the odds down on his phone

◼️ The two core lies that sabotage almost every man ("I'm not enough" and "it's too late")

◼️ How praying over a locker room — not his skill — got him drafted professionally

◼️ The Brazilian teammate he discipled who ended up handing him a World Cup contract

◼️ Why weak men, not politics or economics, are the real reason the country is collapsing

◼️ The exact 3 questions any man can ask to start hearing God's voice today

AI is coming for your job… but it might also make you rich.

In this conversation, we break down the truth about artificial intelligence, what it’s really doing to the world, and why it’s about to widen the gap between winners and losers. We talk about whether AI is killing creativity, if people are becoming dependent on machines, and the deeper question most aren’t asking… are we slowly replacing our thinking, our relationships, and even our faith?

Christians keep dividing over secondary issues, and it’s hurting the Church. In this powerful conversation, we tackle why believers argue over theology, hell, deliverance, and denominational differences while people are walking away from the faith feeling unheard and hopeless.

We discuss majors vs minors in Christianity, eternal conscious torment vs annihilationism, deconstruction, church hurt, spiritual warfare, and why asking hard questions should never get someone silenced. If Christians cannot disagree with humility, unity suffers, and the next generation leaves.

This episode is a call for biblical courage, theological depth, and Christlike love. The world does not need louder Christian arguments. It needs Christians who reflect Jesus in truth, grace, and action.

Did you know visible 6-pack abs are rarer than being a millionaire? Only 2–3% of Americans have visible abs, while 7–10% are millionaires. In this episode, we break down discipline, health, nutrition, fitness, and what it means to steward your body as a Kingdom man.

Most men think getting in shape is about vanity…
But what if it’s actually about legacy, leadership, protection, confidence, and calling?

In this powerful Rise Up Kings conversation, we unpack:

• Why physical discipline mirrors financial discipline
  
  
• How to start from zero (even if you’re overweight or discouraged)
  
  
• The truth about nutrition, seed oils, and real health
  
  
• Why your body is the vehicle God gave you for purpose
  
  
• How small daily steps compound into transformation
  
  

This isn’t about beach abs.
It’s about becoming the man God designed you to be.

In this Rise Up Kings Podcast episode, Coach Mondo sits down with Coach Jon Wood (“Switch”) and Pastor David for a deep, unfiltered conversation about Jesus, politics, masculinity, sexual ethics, prophetic words, and hearing God’s voice in a divided culture.

This isn’t a surface-level debate.

The discussion breaks down how Jesus’ announcement of the Kingdom of God was a direct challenge to Rome’s power, why modern political labels don’t fit a first-century Messiah, and how Jesus would likely be received today in conversations surrounding LGBTQ issues, cultural identity, and morality.

The episode also unpacks:

- Jesus’ teachings as nonviolent resistance, not passivity
- Why “God told me” can become a spiritual manipulation tactic
- How to discern a true word from God using Scripture, fruit, peace, and - maturity
- Whether spiritual gifts can be developed or are only divinely assigned
- The difference between meekness and weakness for strong Christian men
- When force, self-defense, or protection may be morally justified

This conversation challenges both political sides because Jesus doesn’t fit modern categories. He confronts power, disrupts comfort, loves people without affirming sin, and calls men to strength under control.

The episode closes with a sobering reminder from John 10:27:

“My sheep hear My voice… the real question isn’t whether God is speaking — it’s whether you’re listening.”

Chapters:
00:00:00 — Was Jesus conservative or liberal? Kingdom of God vs Caesar
00:02:17 — A first-century Jew in 21st-century political categories
00:03:18 — Social conservatism, fiscal generosity, and sexual ethics
00:04:31 — “Turn the other cheek” as nonviolent resistance
00:06:52 — How Jesus would be received today (LGBTQ + politics)
00:10:16 — “I have a word from the Lord”: when to be cautious
00:12:18 — Scripture as the filter: conviction vs condemnation
00:14:23 — The fruit test: character, maturity, and relationship
00:17:14 — Shocking real-life prophetic moments
00:36:34 — How to hear God: Scripture, counsel, reason, tradition
00:46:18 — Meekness vs weakness: the lion choosing restraint
00:54:06 — Self-defense, force vs violence, and Christian ethics

If you are trapped in fear and anxiety, you are not alone. In this Rise Up Kings conversation, Green Beret Master Sergeant Jeremy McWilliams and former Marine bomb disposal Staff Sergeant John Wood break down why fear is universal, why most fear is tied to control and the unknown, and how to build real courage through stress inoculation, exposure, and disciplined action.

You will learn how to stop spiraling about worst case scenarios, why “90% of what you fear will never happen,” and how to get out of your head by carrying a load, staying in your business, and taking small steps toward the thing you fear. John shares a powerful testimony of PTSD, suicidal thoughts, and how God brought healing and restored identity in Christ. They also cover fear of AI, end times anxiety, Christian masculinity, parenting without helicopter fear, and why unconditional love and truth together change everything.

If you want practical tools to overcome fear, stop overthinking, grow as a Christian man, and lead your family with strength and faith, this episode will help.

If you’re a high achiever who loves Jesus, but still feels restless, anxious, and never at peace, this conversation will hit hard.

Scott Donnell breaks down what’s actually driving anxiety, performance, control, and burnout in entrepreneurs and Christian men — and why the pursuit of success can become a spiritual stronghold. We unpack the 3 core wounds (abandonment, betrayal, contempt), how they shape your identity, and why identity can’t be achieved — it can only be received.

We also talk about cultural Christianity, lukewarm faith, sanctification, eternal rewards, taking faith risks, biblical stewardship, generosity that costs something, and the legacy you leave your kids — because what you don’t heal, you pass down.

If you’re trying to build a life of purpose, lead your family well, and follow Jesus without white-knuckling everything, this episode is for you.
