"The Adventure Most Men Miss" | w/ Conner Smith | Soul Wrangler Ep. 20 Jul 13, 2026

Show notes

Most men are searching for adventure.

Some chase success. Others chase comfort, money, influence, or the next accomplishment. But what if the greatest adventure isn't found in the world at all?

In this episode, country artist Conner Smith shares how following Jesus led him to make some of the biggest decisions of his life; from walking away from a record deal to leading a ministry dedicated to stewarding revival through country music.

We talk about the fear of the Lord, surrender, obedience, suffering, purpose, music, and why the gospel isn't just an invitation to believe, it's an invitation to a life that costs everything and is worth every bit of it.

Why Conner walked away from a record dealFinding your identity beyond successThe fear of the Lord and living with reverenceStewarding revival through country musicWhy the gospel is the greatest adventure a man can pursuePsalm 23, suffering, and obedienceWriting songs inspired by ScriptureLiving for God's approval instead of man's

"The Woods Is My Church." Is It? w/ Luke Chilano Soul Wrangler EP. 19 Jul 06, 2026

Show notes

Is the woods your church? Can you follow Jesus without being deeply connected to other believers?

In this episode of Soul Wrangler, I sit down with Luke Chilano to talk about the growing mindset that faith can be lived in isolation. We discuss why God designed the Church to be more than a Sunday service, the importance of Christian brotherhood, and how real spiritual growth happens when we carry one another's burdens.

We also dive into Luke's personal testimony, what God has taught him through community, and why gathering with other believers isn't just a suggestion—it's part of God's design for our lives.

Whether you've been hurt by the church, prefer solitude, or simply want to grow deeper in your faith, this conversation is an encouragement to step back into biblical community.

In this episode:

Why "the woods ain't church"
The purpose of Christian community
Why isolation is dangerous for believers
Luke's testimony and journey of faith
The importance of accountability and brotherhood
What it means to truly belong to the Body of Christ

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together... but encouraging one another." — Hebrews 10:24–25

The Story They Stopped Telling | America's 250th | w/ Gregg Lawrence Soul Wrangler EP. 18 Jul 03, 2026

Show notes

As America celebrates 250 years of independence, it's worth asking a bigger question:

What made America different in the first place?

In this special Fourth of July episode of the Soul Wrangler Podcast, Wilson Clark sits down with Williamson County Commissioner Gregg Lawrence to explore the biblical, historical, and philosophical foundations that shaped the United States. Together, they examine where our rights come from, how Christianity influenced the founding of the nation, and why understanding our history matters now more than ever.

This conversation isn't about placing our hope in politics or idolizing a nation. It's about recovering truth, learning from history, and remembering that lasting freedom begins with the One who gives it.

The true story behind America's founding
Did the Founding Fathers build a Christian nation?
Where do our rights actually come from?
Why history is being rewritten today
The difference between patriotism and idolatry
America's 250th anniversary and what it means for the next generation
Why Christ—not government—is our ultimate hope

As Christians, our citizenship is first in Heaven. Yet we're called to steward the freedoms we've been given, seek the good of our communities, and pass on truth to the next generation.

Whether you're a history enthusiast, a believer wrestling with the role of faith in public life, or someone simply wanting to understand America's story more deeply, this episode invites you to think critically, search the Scriptures, and rediscover the principles that have shaped our nation.

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom He has chosen as His heritage." — Psalm 33:12

Identity Theft, Who Does God Say You Are? | Soul Wrangler EP. 17 Jun 29, 2026

Show notes

Who are you, really?

The world tells you your identity is found in your career, your accomplishments, your failures, or your past. The enemy wants to convince you that you'll always be defined by your sin. But Scripture tells a different story.

In this episode of the Soul Wrangler Podcast, we unpack one of the greatest battles every Christian man faces: believing who God says you are instead of believing the lies you've believed about yourself.

Using the stories of Moses, the promises of Scripture, and personal testimony, we explore what it means to walk in your new identity as a forgiven son of God rather than living chained to shame, guilt, and your former life.

In this episode we discuss:

• Why so many men struggle with their identity
• The lies the enemy wants you to believe
• Moses' battle with insecurity and self-doubt
• Why your past does not define your future
• What it means to be forgiven in Christ
• How shame keeps men isolated
• Why confession leads to freedom
• How to walk confidently in the identity God has already given you

The enemy calls you by your sin.

Jesus calls you by your name.

If you've been carrying shame, doubting your purpose, or wondering whether God can still use you, this episode is for you.

"But now, this is what the Lord says... Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are Mine." — Isaiah 43

When Kings Stay Home | Friday Rundown Ep. 2 Jun 29, 2026

Show notes

In this Friday Rundown, we walk through 2 Samuel 11 and uncover the often-overlooked verse that set the stage for one of Scripture's most tragic failures. Before there was lust, there was idleness. Before there was adultery, there was isolation. Before there was murder, there was a king who abandoned the place God had called him to be.Together we'll talk about:• Why "when kings go out to battle" still matters today• How comfort and passivity leave the door open to temptation• Why your family is your first ministry• The danger of isolation and spiritual laziness• What David's story teaches every husband, father, and Christian man• How small compromises become life-altering consequencesThe enemy doesn't usually destroy a man overnight. He distracts him, isolates him, and convinces him to neglect what God has entrusted to him.If you're a husband, father, or man seeking to follow Christ faithfully, this episode is a reminder to stay at your post."Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong."— 1 Corinthians 16:13Lasso the Lost.

"Things Men Need Less Of" w/ Wilson Clark | Soul Wrangler EP. 17 Jun 22, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of the Soul Wrangler Podcast, I sit down with my friend Wilson Clark to talk about God's faithfulness through every season of life.

Wilson shares his testimony and the ways the Lord has worked through both victories and struggles to shape the man he is today. Together we discuss marriage, fatherhood, legacy, and what it looks like to lead our families with intention in a world filled with distractions.

We also talk about a truth many men need to hear: the answer isn't always more. More success, more possessions, more noise, and more distractions rarely satisfy. Often, the life God is calling us to requires less—less clutter, less hurry, less dependence on the things that pull our attention away from what matters most.

Whether you're a husband, father, or simply a man seeking to follow Christ more faithfully, this conversation is an encouragement to trust God's redemptive plan and build a life that points beyond yourself.

Walking Through The Threshold | Trusting God When the Path Isn't Clear | Soul Wrangler EP. 16 Jun 15, 2026

Show notes

Threshold seasons are uncomfortable.You can feel the Lord stirring something in your heart, but you don't have all the answers. The path ahead isn't clear, and every step seems to require more faith than certainty.In this solo episode, I talk about what it looks like to trust God when you're standing between where you've been and where He may be calling you. How do you know when to move? How do you discern His voice? How do you live by faith instead of fear?We don't walk by sight. We walk by faith. Sometimes all God gives us is the next step, and that's enough."For we walk by faith, not by sight." — 2 Corinthians 5:7

"101 Years of Wisdom" w/ John Frazier Jr. | Soul Wrangler EP. 15 Jun 01, 2026

Show notes

What can a 101-year-old man teach us about life?

In this episode, I sit down with my great-grandfather, John Frazier Jr., to talk about faith, family, hard work, perseverance, and the lessons that can only come from living through an entire century of history.

From the challenges he's faced to the wisdom he's gained, this conversation is a reminder that some of life's greatest truths never change.

In a world that moves faster every day, there is something powerful about slowing down and listening to someone who has walked with God through generations.

I hope this conversation encourages you as much as it encouraged me.

If you enjoy the episode, share it with a friend and help us continue our mission of calling men back to the frontier of faith.
