Coffee and the Cross: Faith, Family & Fitness
Coffee and the Cross is a podcast for everyday Christian men who are trying to live out their faith in everyday life, lead their family well, and be fit in marriage, at work, with their money, in their leadership, spiritual fitness, and mentally fit.
This isn’t a show for men who have it all figured out. It’s a down-to-earth, Jesus-centered conversations for salt-of-the-earth men who love God but and yet still wrestle with fear, exhaustion, responsibility, and doubt.
Each episode feels like sitting down over coffee and talking honestly about:
- faith when you’re tired but still showing up
- money anxiety and the pressure to provide
- marriage in the middle miles
- leadership without control
- prayer when you don’t feel spiritual
- trusting Jesus in everyday life
If you’re looking for real talk, biblical truth without hype, and faith that actually works Monday through Saturday not just on Sunday.. you’re in the right place.
Coffee and the Cross exists to help men bring the gospel into everyday life—without shame, without pretending, and without shallow answers.
Pull up a chair. Grab a cup of coffee. Let’s walk this out together.

Success, Significance, and Stewardship: Are You Using What God Gave You?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most of us spend a large part of our lives chasing success. We work hard, pursue goals, build careers, grow businesses, and do our best to provide for the people we love. But eventually many of us begin asking a different question:
Is there more to life than achievement?
In this episode of Coffee and the Cross: Faith, Family and Fitness, we explore the difference between success, significance, and stewardship. Inspired by a recent article from John Maxwell, we'll discuss what it means to use our time, talents, relationships, finances, and influence for something bigger than ourselves.
God has entrusted each of us with opportunities to impact the people around us. The question isn't how much we've been given—it's what we're doing with what we've been entrusted.
Join me as we talk about influence, responsibility, leadership, generosity, and how significance often grows from simple acts of faithfulness that happen behind the scenes.
If you've ever wondered how to make a greater impact with your life, this conversation is for you.
In This Episode:
- The difference between success and significance
- Why stewardship is about responsibility, not ownership
- How influence creates lasting impact
- Practical ways to give more than you take
- A question every Christian should ask themselves
Where has God given you influence that you're not fully using?

I remember hearing the devotional every morning on the radio before school. But… If we heard Robert Cook saying, "Walk with the king today and be a blessing." we knew it was time to run, not walk out the door to catch the bus
