About The Podcast
JT Clark says he’s spent most of his life “searching for something.” Sometimes he tried to fill that void with athletics or his love of the outdoors; more often, he filled it with unhealthy things like drugs or sexual conquests. It wasn’t until three years ago, when he was invited to church by a pastor who knew about the sins in his past, that he realized God could fill that void better than anything. Through his work with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, he’s sharing the lessons he’s learned—and this week he talks with Nate Dewberry about them as well, from the realization that we can resist sin far better with God than we can on our own to the joy of serving God and trusting in His plan.

Having Hard Conversations with God—and Each Other
His 30th birthday was just around the corner, and Nigel Darius was at a crossroads. He felt like he’d worked hard and done the right things in his twenties, but he didn’t have anything to show for it. 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.
