About The Podcast
Over the course of 18 years as a college football coach, and another decade at the high school level, Patrick Nix—a former standout QB at Auburn—has seen plenty of ups and downs, wins and losses. But the example his father set as a coach, father, and Christian helped teach him that even the setbacks and losses have a purpose and meaning in God’s grand plan for our lives. In this podcast, Patrick discusses his philosophies as a coach and as a parent, the importance of openly expressing one’s faith, and the seminal moment in his teenage years that taught him to always see the bigger picture.

He asked God for a new path and a new opportunity, but when God asked him, “Do you believe I can give them to you?” he realized the answer was “No.” Or perhaps more accurately, “Not yet.”
The Freedom That Comes with Obeying God
Let’s face it, obedience isn’t a fun topic for most of us. Between an American ethos that prizes individualism and innovation, a culture that pushes indulgence, and a natural human desire to be free from control, we don’t like to feel compelled to follow anyone else’s rules. So how do we break down that resistance and embrace obedience to God? And how can we build in ourselves a desire to heed God’s word, rather than just doing so out of grudging obligation?
Forgiveness Is Messy…but It’s Worth It
Micah Davis has more experience with forgiveness than he probably ever wanted to have. The hurtful words spoken over him as a child that stuck with him throughout adolescence, the betrayals by both his father and his godfather, the family secrets that only came to light years later—all of them forced Micah to confront emotional pain at a relatively early age and weigh the cost of reconciliation.
