• Episode 22: The Jesus People Podcast | Steve Weatherford:From Super Bowl Champion to Kingdom Warrior

  In this electrifying episode of The Jesus People Podcast, Ryan sits down with Steve Weatherford—Super Bowl–winning NFL punter, “Fittest Man in the League,” and now full-time ambassador for the Gospel. Steve pulls back the curtain on life after the Lombardi Trophy, revealing how childhood trauma, performance addiction, and people-pleasing nearly derailed his purpose until a radical, Holy-Spirit encounter at 36 rewrote his identity. With trademark transparency and intensity, Steve unpacks why men’s brotherhood, fearless integrity, and living from victory (not for it) are the antidote to burnout, fatherlessness, and shallow faith. If you crave authentic discipleship, leadership that costs something, and a blueprint for turning worldly accolades into eternal impact, this conversation is for you. Key Highlights Leaving NFL fame to chase Kingdom purpose—why trophies couldn’t fill a God-sized hole Healing from sexual-abuse trauma and breaking the “not-enough” lie The power of brotherhood & mentorship: protecting your yes and sharpening iron Moving from performance mindset to Spirit-led rest (work from victory, not for it) Raising fearless, disciplined families and calling men to biblical masculinity If you’re a high-drive achiever longing for deeper meaning—or know a man stuck on the hamster wheel of success—Steve’s story proves Jesus can transform a punter into a Kingdom warrior. No platform is too big, no past too messy, and no dream too wild when God writes the scouting report.

• Episode 21: The Jesus People Podcast | Chad Kammeraad: From Trailer Park to Microsoft Partner

  In this eye-opening episode of The Jesus People Podcast, Ryan sits down with Chad Kammeraad, a once-impoverished kid from a Michigan trailer park who rose to become a global-sales Partner at Microsoft—only to discover the summit of worldly success still left him searching. Chad unpacks how a snowy five-mile hike, an unexpected podcast autoplay, and a divine whisper to “reach out to Ryan Miller” set off a chain reaction of radical YES-moments to God. From boardroom influence and luxury cars to board-up bridges and on-the-spot evangelism, Chad’s story proves that no amount of titles, toys, or trillions in market cap can compare with the freedom of walking daily with Christ. If you’re a young professional, an entrepreneur chasing the next promotion, or anyone wrestling with success, identity, or purpose, Chad’s testimony will challenge—and liberate—you to invite Jesus into the passenger seat and let Him drive. Key Highlights Humble beginnings: Growing up in a trailer park, single family car, early exposure to faith at Camp Geneva Corporate climb: Youngest VP at his firm, lands Partner status overseeing multi-billion-dollar accounts at Microsoft The wake-up call: A late-night celebration turns into a Holy-Spirit confrontation—“I gave all this to you for Me, not you” YES-moments in action: Saving Christmas in a global media boardroom, sparking faith conversations in Chicago traffic, and more Message to Gen Z & Millennials: Hard work is good, but souls > salaries—success is sweetest when Jesus isn’t in the trunk If career ambitions, wealth goals, or social-media metrics are driving you, Chad’s journey invites you to trade empty trophies for eternal treasure. God’s plan for your life is already written—say YES and watch the doors fly open. 👉 Subscribe and catch every faith-fueling story on The Jesus People Podcast, where we spotlight real people, radical transformations, and the relentless hope found in Jesus!
