Stay ConnectedSoul Wrangler exists to Lasso the Lost and call men to the Frontier of Faith. A life devoted to Christ is the greatest adventure ever lived.
We believe following Jesus was never meant to be passive or comfortable. It’s a call to deny yourself, pick up your cross, and follow Him.
We’re here to equip men to know the Word, lead with conviction, fight isolation, serve their families, and live on mission.
No Lonesome Man.
Lasso the Lost.
What if the greatest thing you leave your family isn't what you pass down, but what you refuse to pass down?
In this solo episode of the Soul Wrangler Podcast, we're talking about becoming a "LINEBREAKER" — a man who refuses to repeat destructive generational patterns and chooses to leave a legacy that points to Jesus Christ.
Looking at the life of King Josiah in 2 Kings 23:25, we explore what it means to pursue the Lord wholeheartedly, regardless of your family's past.
We also talk about my 101-year-old great-grandfather's legacy of faith, the dangers of procrastination and spiritual complacency, and why ordinary obedience today can influence generations to come.
Your past may have shaped you, but it doesn't have to define your future in Christ.

The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone.In this episode of Soul Wrangler, we're getting back to the heart of our mission: life-on-life discipleship, biblical brotherhood, and making disciples who make disciples.
Looking at Matthew 9 and Jesus' heart for the lost, we talk about why men need other men walking alongside them, what biblical discipleship actually looks like, and why you don't have to be a pastor, theologian, or have everything figured out to start investing in the lives of others.
We cover the importance of men's groups, how to start and lead one, overcoming the fear of feeling unqualified, and what it looks like to step into leadership with confidence in Christ rather than ourselves.
My hope is that this conversation challenges you to stop waiting for the perfect opportunity and start being faithful with the men God has already placed in your life.
You don't need a platform. You don't need a room full of men. You need a willingness to show up, open God's Word, and walk alongside others.
If you've been thinking about starting a men's group or becoming more intentional about discipleship, this episode is for you.

Do you ever feel like you're praying wrong? Like all you do is ask God for things, you don't know what to say, or your prayers aren't being heard?
In this episode of the Soul Wrangler Podcast, we're talking about one of the most important and often neglected parts of the Christian life: prayer.
After receiving a message from a listener struggling with how to pray, I wanted to dive into what Scripture actually teaches us about approaching the Father.
We walk through the Lord's Prayer, the importance of daily dependence on God, why we shouldn't be afraid to ask for big things, and what it means to pray boldly while trusting His will.
Prayer isn't about perfect words or following a formula. It's about a relationship with the Father who invites us to come before Him.
Scripture: Matthew 6:9–13, Matthew 7:7–11, James 5:16, Romans 8:26–27, 1 Thessalonians 5:17.

Millions of people heard Ethan Laporte’s story. But after Part 1, it felt like we had barely scratched the surface.In Part 2, Ethan comes back to answer the questions we should have asked the first time.
We talk about his relationship with his absent father, the shocking confession his dad recently made about the days following Ethan’s accident, and what it looks like to choose forgiveness instead of bitterness.
Ethan also answers one of the biggest questions left from Part 1: What happened to the man who threw gasoline onto the fire that burned him?
But underneath all of it is a conversation about something bigger: suffering, forgiveness, fatherhood, redemption, and what it looks like to keep moving forward with Christ when your past gives you every reason to stay bitter.
Ethan’s response to the man who caused the fire might say it best:“I hope to see you in heaven.”
This is Ethan Laporte’s story, Part 2.
At six years old, Ethan Laporte was caught in a gasoline fire that left him with third-degree burns over more than 40% of his body. Doctors weren’t sure he would survive. But surviving the fire was only the beginning.
In this episode of the Soul Wrangler Podcast, Ethan shares the story behind the scars, the emotional pain that followed, the anger and bitterness he carried toward God, and the years he spent rejecting Christianity.
We talk about suffering, forgiveness, doubt, atheism, willful sin, and Ethan’s unexpected journey back toward Christ.
Ethan’s story is a reminder that sometimes the wounds we can’t see take longer to heal than the ones we can.
And even when we can’t yet understand why God allowed something, we can remain faithful while we wait to see what He will do with it.
What do you do when you believe God has called you somewhere—but the door still hasn’t opened?
In this episode of the Soul Wrangler Podcast, I sit down with longtime friend and pastor Kris Dolberry to talk about calling, waiting, obedience, discipleship, marriage, prayer, and remaining faithful when God’s timeline doesn’t match yours.
After 26 years in ministry, Kris recently stepped into a lead pastor role following years of preparation, different assignments, and seasons of wondering whether he had somehow missed what God called him to do. Looking back, he can see how God was using those years to prepare him for where He was ultimately leading.
We also talk about the importance of older men setting the pace, why content can never replace community, learning to listen to the Holy Spirit, building a faithful marriage, and continuing to serve Christ in every season of life.
Sometimes faithfulness means taking the step.
Sometimes it means staying faithful to the last thing God told you to do.
Either way—keep obeying.

What if the thing keeping you from hearing God isn’t rebellion... but busyness?
In this episode of the Soul Wrangler Podcast, Jayden sits down with longtime friend, husband, father of four, and mentor Jeremy Williams to talk about the discipline of getting away to a quiet place.
Jeremy shares why solitude and prayer have become an essential rhythm in his life, how Jesus repeatedly withdrew from crowds and even seasons of success, and why men can easily lose sight of who they are when they never slow down long enough to listen.
They unpack identity, discerning God’s voice, fatherhood, busyness, calling, temptation, and Jeremy’s simple rhythm of Release. Rest. Receive.Sometimes the answer isn’t doing more.
Sometimes you need to get quiet enough to remember who you are, whose you are, and what God has actually called you to do.
What if the adventure men are searching for is the very mission Jesus already gave us?
In this episode of the Soul Wrangler Podcast, Jayden sits down with Darren Tyler, pastor of Conduit Church, to talk about what it means to have a faith that actually moves. Darren shares his journey from the entertainment industry to ministry, stories from Haiti and missions around the world, and what he’s learned through years of simply saying yes to God.
They talk about faith and works, serving from love instead of for love, taking risks for the Kingdom, discovering where God has called you to serve, and why ministry isn’t reserved for pastors or missionaries. As Darren puts it, we may have different roles, but we’re all part of the same mission and there is no such thing as inconsequential obedience to Jesus.
You don’t have to cross an ocean to live on mission. Sometimes it means crossing the street, walking across the hall, serving your family, helping your neighbor, or simply doing the thing God has already put in front of you.
Growing up in Alabama, Jay was surrounded by addiction, broken homes, violence, and eventually gang life. But his story didn’t end there.
In this episode of the Soul Wrangler Podcast, Jay shares his testimony and what the Lord has taught him about hearing God’s voice, finding purpose in ordinary work, spiritual discipline, suffering, discipleship, and actually living out the Great Commission.
We talk about the difference between effort and earning, why men need other men walking alongside them, and what it looks like to stop simply consuming Christianity and start making disciples.
Jay’s story is evidence that no life is too far gone for the grace of God.

Where are we settling as men?
In this episode, I work through that question and some of the answers I received: our motives, our families, our work ethic, our physical health, our knowledge of Scripture, and our responsibility to spiritually lead our homes.
It’s easy to convince ourselves that a paycheck means we’re providing, that good intentions equal obedience, or that simply believing the right things is enough. But following Christ calls us to something deeper: denying ourselves, stewarding what God has given us, knowing His Word, leading with humility, and continuing to show up even when we don’t feel like it.
This isn’t coming from someone who has it figured out. I’m wrestling with these things right alongside you.
The challenge is simple: Where have you settled, and what would obedience look like there today?
