EP 70: Why Does Take A Step Matter? | John Szarszewski

In this episode, Josh sits down with John Szarszewski — the newest partner of Take A Step — to talk about the mission to build future leaders grounded in faith, discipline, and purpose. Together, they unpack why so many young men today feel stuck, unmotivated, and disconnected from a greater calling — and how Take A Step exists to change that.

Josh and John dive into the core problem at the heart of their mission: complacency. They explore why it’s so easy for young men to choose comfort over challenge, distraction over discipline, and isolation over community — and how faith and intentional action can reverse that pattern.

The two also share the vision for Take A Step’s growing community — a brotherhood of men who refuse to settle for less than the life God created them to live. Through accountability, shared purpose, and consistent growth, the goal isn’t just to build better men, but to raise up future leaders who will impact their families, workplaces, and communities for generations to come.

If you’re a man who’s tired of comfort, ready to confront complacency, and eager to find a tribe of like-minded brothers pursuing purpose — this conversation will challenge and equip you to take your next step forward.
