In this episode we sit down for a year-in-review conversation reflecting on the lessons God taught us, the challenges we walked through, and the clarity that comes from staying close to Christ during difficult decisions.

We talk about the importance of having a clear and compelling vision, why quitting is rarely the answer, and how faith provides stability when emotions, uncertainty, and pressure try to pull you off course.

We also share our hopes for the year ahead — growth in faith, momentum in life, wisdom in decision-making, and a deeper commitment to helping young people find purpose, direction, and truth.

If you’re in a season of questioning, rebuilding, or learning how to trust God more fully, this conversation is for you.

This interview features a candid conversation with our brother, reflecting on a season marked by uncertainty, prayer, and difficult decisions—when the next step wasn’t clear, but obedience was required.

Over time, what began as a quiet burden placed on his heart grew into a defining act of faith: stepping forward into the United States Marine Corps, going directly into Officer Candidate School. It was a significant leap—not only professionally, but spiritually—taken before every question had an answer.

In this episode of the Pursuit of Truth Podcast, we discuss:

* How he discerned God’s direction over time

* What it looked like to trust God when the outcome was unknown

* What anchored him during moments of doubt

* How prayer sustained him through a life-altering transition

We also touch on the burden God has placed on our hearts for young men—expressed through paths of discipline, leadership, and service, including both the Marine Corps and initiatives like MOVIT, a summer program we run to invest in the next generation of young men.

This conversation closes with a message to young people around the world: your circumstances do not define you. Faith in God can hold you steady, even when the path forward feels uncertain.

This episode dives deep into the challenges of following God when things don’t make sense or feel overwhelming. We talk about the fear that comes with obedience, the emotional baggage and distractions that hold us back, and how real maturity means learning to counsel yourself through tough seasons.

It’s a conversation about faith, obedience, and purpose — not perfection. We unpack what it means to walk with God when you’re unsure, how to deal with fear and doubt, and why fulfillment is only found in Jesus. We also talk about how technology has shaped this generation, the importance of truth, and why authenticity matters more than ever. You’ll hear thoughts on spiritual growth, finding your “sweet spot” in God’s purpose, and what it looks like to simply trust God and do it.
