Unquenchable Fire Podcast
This podcast exists solely because I am a servant of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit emboldened me to share the Gospel in this way. My passions are being a husband, raising children, and running ultra marathons so you'll find much of my content focuses on those topics among others. I pray this channel inspires you to chase the heart of the Almighty God. He's waiting for you.
In everything I do, God gets the glory.

Pride & Pain Series (Ep. 1) - Have We Commercialized Suffering?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In today’s world, suffering has become a brand. From David Goggins’ “Stay Hard” to Cam Hanes’ “Keep Hammering,” we’re told that pain is the path to greatness. But what if we’re missing the deeper truth? (No shade to those legends btw)
In Episode 1 of this series, host Colton Kirkpatrick explores the commercialization of suffering how endurance, discomfort, and discipline have become status symbols that often lead to pride and why Scripture teaches a higher purpose for pain: to be refined by Christ.
This isn’t about rejecting toughness or grit. It’s about redeeming them through Jesus. Physical suffering might build your body but only holy suffering in Christ can build your soul.
“Physical training is of some value, but godliness is of value in every way.”
1 Timothy 4:8
