Today on Mission Made I am flying solo! I talk about how your sacrifice is never wasted when we are sacrificing for the Lord. I was reminded of this recently on the tail end of not being as committed to my quiet time with the Lord as I should. I got right before the Lord and sacrificed something I wanted to do, to prioritize time with him.

He met me there, and my cup was filled. My sacrifice was NOT wasted, and I know yours' won't be either.

On this episode I got to catch up with Scott Batson, founder of Get Strong Ministries.

Get Strong Ministries uses the CrossFit gym setting to disciple men and reach the nations for the Kingdom. They do so equipping men to lead groups that are rooted in fitness, and sending short term missionaries to CrossFit Get Strong in Nicaragua.

We got to talk about some of the origins of Get Strong, Scott's backstory, being able to connect with people through fitness for the sake of the Gospel, and a specific message for the men of MM.

I got so much from our conversation, and I believe you will too.

On this episode of Mission Made I had the honor of bringing you guys a conversation with my CEO, Charlie Holland.

Charlie is CEO of Farmers State Bank, a community bank in Southern Illinois.

We got to talk about faith journey, leading an organization with values in mind, and specific advice for the young man looking for purpose.

I was blessed because of this conversation, I believe you will be too.

On this short episode of Mission Made, I talk about some things that have motivated me as a kid. We all have them. Some of the motivation we have as kids sticks with us. For me there is one that sticks out the most. It is all about choosing to be blind. I have linked to video below for reference. Once you listen to this podcast, please do yourself a favor and watch the linked videos. These really got me fired up as a kid.

On this episode a friend of mine, River, and I have a conversation diving into his story. River is a youth pastor, a husband, and a runner. Our friendship is fairly young, but it runs deep as most of our interaction has been in prayer. River was a day 1 guy for the mens prayer group I am a part of. We had a lot of fun with this conversation, I hope you enjoy. River will be a returning guest at some point in the future.

On this episode of Mission Made I got the opportunity to talk with someone who has taken CrossFit by storm over the last few years. He made his first Games appearance in 2024, after being on the cusp of making it for several years.

Besides calling his shots in high level competitions, he has done a lot of cool things adding to his resume. After being declined into West Point, he landed at Ohio State University as a wrestler. He later became an attorney and started practicing for the Army, where he currently serves.

Those all sound like incredible accomplishments, and they are. But what is even more admirable about Jack is his heart of Jesus. You can tell through our conversation that Jesus is number 1, and everything else follows.

This actually allows him to be the best husband, father, soldier, and athlete that he can.

Jack is living out the mission.

On this short episode of MM, I talk about how when things don't go as planned, there is probably a reason. God's has never been caught off guard by the things that seem like roadblocks or distractions in our life.

I believe that if we can have the wisdom to LOOK AROUND and SEEK GOD in those times that the plan changed (or things didn't go as planned...), we can see how God wants to use us in those situations.

On this episode I got the chance to connect with my friend Doug Elks. Doug has been an inspiration of mine for a while, and we have gotten to connect this year through his mens ministry, AIM, which we talk quite a bit about in this episode. Doug and I discuss a pretty wide range of topics including business/ministry ventures, content creation, the message of Jesus and so much more. Doug is a class act kinda guy. I highly recommend giving him a follow on IG, and what I will say is the guy you see on IG is the same guy that he is in real life.

Below are links to things mentioned in this podcast:
