The RISE Leadership Podcast
Walking in Obedience… and Seeing God Move
In this episode of The RISE Leadership Podcast, Jeremy Dixon and Phil McMichael sit down with our 2025 Freedom Weekend Speaker, Mark Hutchinson. Mark — the Young Adult Pastor from Family Life Church in Tampa, Florida —will take us through his years as a football player at Florida International University, talk about the steps of obedience God led him to take, and how that led to almost 500 student athletes engaging in Bible studies across FIU and the University of Miami. In this episode we’ll look at overcoming fear, walking in obedience, and God’s perfect timing.
