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.

Christian men, masculinity, leadership, humility, ego, insecurity, confidence, identity in Christ. This episode exposes the “hidden problem” behind burnout, conflict, and self-sabotage (masked as success).

Most guys don’t realize the real issue isn’t anger, ambition, or even performance; it’s what’s operating beneath the surface. We unpack how ego shows up in leadership, marriage, and brotherhood, why “false humility” is still self-focused, and how to build grounded confidence without posturing.

You’ll hear:

• How unspoken expectations turn into resentment
• When leaders must be curious vs. certain
• Why insecurity fuels the hidden problem
• The simplest way to receive compliments with strength (“Thank you”)
• How training, discipline, and keeping your word rebuild self-esteem
• Why Scripture is the higher source of truth when “groupthink” feels right

If you want to lead your home, your business, and your body with conviction—without being driven by the hidden problem—this conversation will challenge you and sharpen you.

Why do men chase success yet still feel empty? A Microsoft Exec shares why achievement, money, and status never feel like enough — and how surrendering ambition to God transforms fulfillment, identity, and purpose.

Microsoft Executive Chad Kammarad went from a trailer park to one of the highest levels inside Microsoft. He reached the top — the cars, the house, the title, the status — yet the night he achieved everything he had ever wanted was the most challenging night of his life.

In this powerful conversation, Chad and Skylar break down:

- The emptiness behind high achievement
- Why men keep chasing “more” and never feel fulfilled
- The danger of ego, pride, and performance identity
- How comfort weakens men spiritually and emotionally
- The shift from self-driven ambition to Kingdom-driven purpose

Why Christian men must surrender control and stop living as “CEO Christians.”

How God uses discomfort, pain, and disruption to move us into calling

If you’re a man who’s driven, ambitious, successful yet still sensing something is missing this episode speaks directly to you.
