In this episode of Thrive, I talk about how God often chooses people in ways that make absolutely no sense to us. We tend to look at qualifications, experience, confidence, and perfection, but throughout the Bible we see that God consistently uses imperfect people to fulfill incredible purposes. This conversation is a reminder that you are chosen before you feel ready and called before you feel complete.

I dive into the lives of the disciples and how Jesus intentionally chose flawed people with weaknesses, mistakes, and shortcomings to carry out a kingdom assignment far bigger than themselves. I also share practical leadership lessons about going further, reaching farther, and seeing bigger through faith, even when you feel unqualified or uncertain about what’s ahead. Sometimes the greatest limitation we face is the way we see ourselves, and this episode is meant to encourage you to stop disqualifying yourself from the very thing God may be calling you into.

Whether you’re leading in ministry, business, your family, or simply trying to grow in your faith, I hope this episode challenges you to trust God more deeply, lead with courage, and embrace the purpose He has placed on your life.

In this episode of Thrive, I sit down with Elijah Roberts to talk about his journey from Miami to the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the deeper lessons that came with it.

We get into what it looks like to lead yourself well before anything else. Elijah shares how his upbringing, his faith, and the values he learned at home helped him stay grounded through every stage, from high school to college to the professional level. In environments where pressure is high and distractions are everywhere, knowing who you are and staying anchored in that identity becomes everything.

We also talk about staying teachable, handling adversity with the right mindset, and trusting God in moments that do not make sense. From injuries and setbacks to unexpected opportunities, his story is a reminder that growth often happens in the seasons that feel the most uncertain.

My prayer is that this conversation challenges you to lead with character, stay rooted in your faith, and keep moving forward with clarity and conviction, no matter what season you are in.

On this week’s episode of Thrive, I talk about what it means to be great in the small things.

Real growth and leadership don’t come from how big or strong you are, but from the wisdom you apply daily. This episode focuses on how the small, consistent decisions you make shape the direction of your life more than you might realize.

This conversation highlights simple principles like staying prepared, building on what’s solid, moving in alignment with others, and continuing to show up even when progress feels slow. These are the kinds of lessons that can impact every area of life, from leadership to personal growth to faith.

If you’ve ever felt like what you’re doing is small or unnoticed, this episode is a reminder that there is purpose in the process. The small things matter more than you think.
