Ever feel completely burned out—exhausted from loss, grief, the grind of life and ministry, and that deep sense of disconnection from your purpose and from God?

You're not alone, and there's real hope on the other side.

This week on the Known Legacy Podcast, the guys welcome back their friend Mike Weaver, lead singer of Big Daddy Weave. Mike vulnerably shares his raw journey through one of the darkest seasons of his life: navigating overwhelming burnout, profound grief after losing his brother and bandmate Jay, the weight of ministry demands, and feeling spiritually and emotionally disconnected.

But this isn't just a story of pain—it's one of restoration. Mike opens up about how God met him in the brokenness, reignited his purpose, and brought healing that allowed him to step back into life and music with renewed passion and hope.

If you're in a season of fatigue, questioning your calling, or grieving losses that have left you feeling far from God, this conversation will remind you that burnout doesn't have to be the end—it's often where true restoration begins.

Tune in for honest encouragement, biblical insight, and the reminder that God can redeem even our deepest disconnection.

Check out Mike's powerful music and the latest from Big Daddy Weave at bigdaddyweave.com—songs like "Redeemed," "The Lion and the Lamb," and tracks from their recent projects carry the very hope he talks about here.

What would you say if you could sit down with your younger self? In this episode, the guys have an honest and reflective conversation, sharing the wisdom they wish they had known as teenagers and young adults. From faith and purpose to identity and calling, they talk through lessons learned the hard way—and truths rooted in God’s Word.

With a growing number of men ages 18–24 returning to the church, this conversation couldn’t be more timely. Our world is desperate for godly men willing to step up, lead well, and invest in the next generation. This episode is both an encouragement to younger men finding their footing and a challenge to older men to live intentionally and leave a legacy that points others to Christ.

In a culture that increasingly rejects biblical truth, how do you intentionally raise children who truly value family, God's design, and unwavering faith?

This week on the Known Legacy Podcast, the guys sit down with Matt and Andrea Crum, founders of Genuine Family Ministries. As parents of two boys navigating the same real-world pressures we all face, Matt and Andrea share their powerful story: why they left the familiar to step full-time into ministry, equipping families to stand firm with truth and love in confusing times.

They open up about the ongoing battle to disciple kids biblically—addressing tough topics like trans ideology and identity confusion—while offering practical tools, encouragement, and strategies for parents. They also tackle the current challenges churches face in upholding a biblical worldview amid cultural pushback, and how we can reaffirm God's unchanging truth in our homes.

If you're a dad wanting to lead your family with courage, protect your kids' hearts, and build a legacy that honors Christ over culture, this conversation is packed with hope, wisdom, and actionable steps. As Andrea says in her book Christ Over Culture, we don't have to fear the world our kids are growing up in—we just need to be intentional in equipping them to thrive in it.
