MISSION MADE
Welcome to MISSION MADE — a podcast about faith, family, fitness, and leadership, hosted by Kyle Hammers.
Rooted in Colossians 3:23 — “Whatever you do, do it as if unto the Lord” — this show is all about living with intention and purpose in every area of life. Whether you’re crushing your WOD, leading your family, chasing your calling, or just brushing your teeth — you were created for a mission.
Here, we explore what it means to be Mission Made: living on purpose, for a purpose, to make His glory known in all we do. Expect real conversations, practical wisdom, and encouragement to keep showing up with grit, grace, and Gospel-driven focus.
I’m stoked you’re here. Let’s get to it.
