The Take A Step Podcast
EP 68: It all started in my 1990 Toyota Corolla | Diesel David
In this episode of The Take A Step Podcast, Josh sits down with Diesel David, founder of Diesel David, an automotive repair company that started when he was just sixteen—working out of the backseat of his 1990 Toyota Corolla. What began as a side hustle in a high school parking lot has become a thriving business built on faith, grit, and relentless learning.
Josh and David dive deep into what it really means to take a step before you feel ready. They unpack the truth that you have to start something to figure out how to do it, and that the ability to take risks only gets harder the longer you wait. Together, they explore how God’s Word has anchored David through seasons of uncertainty, how he’s learned to navigate the tension between marriage and entrepreneurship, and why feeling worthy of God’s calling is essential to doing purposeful work.
If you’re a man who feels stuck—waiting for the perfect plan or permission to begin—this conversation is your wake-up call. David’s story is proof that purpose doesn’t start when everything’s figured out; it starts when you trust God enough to move forward.
This episode will challenge you to take your next step in faith, with courage, humility, and conviction.
