"The Fear That Makes Men Wise" w/ James Frazier | Soul Wrangler EP. 14 May 25, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of the Soul Wrangler Podcast, I sit down with my dad for a conversation.

We talk about how the fear of the Lord is not terror that pushes us from God, but reverence, awe, surrender, and recognition of who He truly is. We also dive into how losing the fear of God has led many men to live more controlled by the opinions of people than by obedience to Christ.

This conversation covers wisdom, boldness, holiness, fatherhood, culture, and what it looks like to live with a right view of God in everyday life.

What kind of man are you becoming?

In this episode of the Soul Wrangler Podcast, we get real about identity, purpose, and the struggle many men face trying to live up to an image instead of living in truth.

Why living a “fake identity” is exhausting
The difference between cultural validation and real purpose

What it really looks like to take responsibility and grow

This conversation isn’t about perfection, it’s about honesty, repentance, and becoming the man God actually created you to be. If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost, or unsure of your direction… this one’s for you.

"The Second Shift" w/ Grant Porter and Bennett Carpenter | Soul Wrangler EP. 10 Apr 27, 2026

Show notes

Marriage, kids, responsibility… and everything that comes with it.

In this episode, Grant and Bennett talk through what they’ve been learning in real time, navigating pressure, growing through challenges, and figuring out what it actually looks like to lead well.

They also get into something that’s been key for both of them: not doing life alone. The role of having the right people around you, and how that shapes everything from your faith to your day-to-day decisions.

Just a real, unfiltered conversation about growth, responsibility, and becoming the man you’re trying to be. Hope you enjoy this episode!

"Don't be Parents...Alone" w/ Delaney Frazier | Soul Wrangler EP. 09 Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

Four years of marriage, two kids, and a lot of growth in between.

In this episode, my wife and I talk about what we’re learning in real time, communication, pressure, parenting, and staying aligned when life gets full.

We also get into something that’s been essential for us: not trying to do any of this alone. The role community has played in our marriage, our faith, and how we show up as parents. Because isolation doesn’t just affect you, it eventually touches everything around you.

“You're not the provider” w/ EJ Medina | Soul Wrangler EP. 08 Apr 13, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, I sit down with my friend EJ Medina—former youth pastor, now working in finance, and a husband and dad who’s trying to live this thing out faithfully.

We talk through the transition from ministry into the marketplace, what it looks like to honor God in your work, and how faith actually shows up in everyday decisions—especially when it comes to money, responsibility, and leading a family well.

“The Step Most People Never Take” w/ Brett Pack | Soul Wrangler EP. 07 Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of the Soul Wrangler Podcast, I sit down with my friend Brett Pack for a real conversation about his life, his faith, and the story behind his film Ocala.

We talk through the journey—what God’s brought him through, the risks he’s taken, and what it’s looked like to step out and create something meaningful without having it all figured out. Brett shares the heart behind the film and how obedience played a bigger role than comfort.

This one isn’t about having a perfect plan—it’s about trusting God, using what you’ve been given, and moving when He calls.

Very grateful for Brett—his friendship, his honesty, and the way he’s choosing to live this out!

EP. 06 - “Reaching Muslims with the Gospel” | Soul Wrangler Podcast Mar 30, 2026

Fouad shares insight from years of ministry, breaking down common misconceptions, cultural barriers, and what it actually looks like to share Jesus with truth, wisdom, and love.This isn’t about arguments—it’s about understanding, obedience, and stepping into the mission Jesus gave us.

EP. 05 - “Discernment Isn’t Your Opinion” | Soul Wrangler Podcast Mar 23, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of the Soul Wrangler Podcast, I sit down with Matthew Keegan and Taylor Blaze for a real, unfiltered conversation about faith, discernment, pain, and what it actually looks like to follow God in the middle of real life.We dive into how the word “discernment” has become overused—and often misused—especially in today’s culture and online spaces. What does true biblical discernment actually look like, and how do we avoid confusing it with our own opinions?We also talk about pain—the kind you can’t avoid—and how God uses it. Not all pain is meaningless. In fact, some of the deepest growth, clarity, and transformation come through it. No pain is wasted when it’s placed in God’s hands.This conversation challenges surface-level faith and pushes into something deeper—dependence, obedience, and living with purpose.
