Salvation is More Than a Moment | Christian Huff Oct 18, 2024

Christian, Luke, and Paker are joined by lead pastor of Auburn Community Church, Miles Fidell, to discuss the paradoxical nature of Romans 6.

Living Without Social Media | Christian Huff & Ben Gaukrodger May 05, 2023

And as a single man, he shares what revelations came to him while on a recent trip to Barcelona — some great encouragement for anyone who feels like they're in a "waiting" time.

How to Take Control in an Identity Crisis | Christian Huff Apr 14, 2023

Christian chats with his college friend — and first single friend he's had on the podcast — Chad Barfield about the times in life that have felt like a wilderness but can actually be the most spiritually redeeming and fruitful. Chad was a Plainsman at Auburn, and he says he always knew what his "next" was until COVID. He finished college without a graduation, and all the "sure things" he thought he had lined up didn't pan out that way. Chad found himself living in his car and going to job interviews, and he couldn't shake the thought that this wasn't how his life was supposed to be. Now, he's a seminary student working in a church with middle schoolers, but he says the call to ministry on his life was made very apparent in a particularly tough moment in his family's life. Chad encourages us that God knows us the BEST out of anybody, so when we find ourselves in a "wilderness" time, we need to be confident in who we are and who we belong to!

How to Be Generous With EVERYTHING God Has Given You | Christian Huff Apr 07, 2023

Christian and his good friend, Bradley Northcutt — the guy who's "had more fitness journeys than anyone Christian's ever met" — first bonded over shared boxes of leftover Krispy Kreme donuts that were about to be thrown out. Bradley admits he's been convicted recently of his inconsistency in his time with the Lord, so he and Sage (previous episode's guest) decided to move their workout time to 4:30am to give more time for a daily one-on-one with Jesus. Bradley and Christian both confess their pride can often be a big hurdle in their relationship with their wives and how awful it is to be a "sore loser" in pickleball or poker games. Plus, there is a BIG difference between being content and being comfortable. Bradley says being comfortable is dangerous for the Christian. And both guys encourage us to be generous with everything God has given us. It's not ours, it never was, so why be stingy with blessing others?

Defeating Vaping, Fortnite, & Porn Addictions | Christian Huff Mar 31, 2023

Sage Ledbetter joins Christian to discuss some "dumb stuff" they experienced throughout college years, including large bets to defeat a porn addiction, Fortnite habits, and efforts to stop vaping. Christian says Sage is a servant-hearted person, a quality he greatly admires in him, but how did that change when Sage married his wife? Sage confesses it wasn't until he figured out how to BEST serve his wife that she could fully receive the love and care he was showing her. Sage also shares the story from his time playing for Auburn and his legendary punishment for being 5 minutes late ... twice! And a challenge to consider sacrificing time and sleep to be with God.

Jesus Is the ONLY Legacy We Can Truly Leave Behind | Christian Huff Mar 24, 2023

Jackson Speaks joins Christian to talk about finding success in business at a young age, anticipating the birth of his first child, married life, but also what legacy we can leave behind — and why that doesn't matter unless Jesus is at the center! — plus the daily battle against pride, whether it's outwardly or inner pride, and what's the difference? Jackson also encourages anyone who is extremely busy that day-to-day life with the Lord IS possible! Christian and Jackson talk about the sanctifying work of marriage, how it's the best gift to anyone. Plus, why the Lord doesn't NEED our money — because first of all, it's not ours, is it? And a reminder that with every social post, business venture, conversation or interaction, the most important factor is where your heart is.

How to Get Out of the Friend Zone | Christian Huff Mar 17, 2023

Christian is excited to speak with Reeves Walker, the lead singer of LO Worship, a songwriter, a newlywed, and someone who is "amazed at what God drops" on his heart. Reeves spent a lot of time running from being alone and just with his thoughts. His need to be liked and accepted overwhelmed every area of his life, leading to substance abuse and addiction. But one night changed everything for him as he studied for a midterm. Reeves and Christian discuss what their "breaking points" were and why it wasn't necessarily their lowest points that required change. Plus, Reeves says he hates eating, and could Christian eat 15,000 calories in a 24-hour period? Reeves shares how he first discovered he could sing — and that he could even write songs — but says the Bible is ALWAYS his biggest inspiration. Reeves also talks about his intentional pursuit of his now-wife, Lydia, and while he thought he was ready to begin dating her at one point, God knew better (as He always does!) And Reeves says there was a reason he was in the friend zone for as long as he was, but he's grateful now for his new wife and the start of their married life together.

Why Serving Your Family Is Sometimes Harder than Serving a Stranger | Christian Huff Mar 10, 2023

"We're just two dudes trying to figure it out" is a great way to describe the conversation Christian has with his new friend, Luke Albritton. Their wives introduced them, and they've gotten to know each other best through regular meetups at the gym, working out together, sharing prayer requests, and using the time to talk though wins and losses. Luke gets honest about how difficult it was to become a husband, learning how to serve his wife well, and how the transition to being a new dad has been a blessing, but a difficult blessing. Luke says he's always been active, from working as a boy on his family's farm to lifting weights in high school. He confesses that his "I can outwork anyone in the room" mentality that he was brought up with became a selfish, prideful desire about his own abilities and comparing himself to others and how he still strives to overcome that. Both Christian and Luke lament their sinful desires to sometimes just NOT be kind and loving, but they're doubly grateful for someone they can share these things with, and that's why your accountability person is SO important!

Think Twice Before Wearing a Tank Top | Christian Huff Mar 03, 2023

Christian is excited to welcome one of his all-time best friends, Buck Commander's Parker Amos, to the podcast to talk being newly married, how friendships can evolve, staying disciplined in different seasons, and how wearing tank tops says SO MUCH about where you're at (and that's not good!). Parker met Christian at Auburn and while they had an incredible group of friends at college, how do you make new friends and community best when you get married and move away? Plus, what you desire MOST says so much about where you are both spiritually and mentally. When is the last time you did a self-check to see how content you are in your life? And some encouragement for anyone who's moved to a new city and you're missing good friends who live close by, or missing being in close proximity to your family.

Working Out for SANITY, Not for Vanity | Christian Huff & Rich Wilkerson Dec 09, 2022

Christian is excited to welcome Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. to the podcast. Rich and his wife, DawnCheré, are the lead pastors of VOUS Church in Miami. Their heart for their city and for the next generation is an inspiration! Rich points out that he and Christian both share an important thing in common: wives from Louisiana! Rich wants to encourage us to remember our body is a temple, but it's God who is in charge of it — we're merely stewards. Plus, Rich explains why working out early on Sunday mornings — before a long, very full day — is absolutely key for his physical and mental strength. He's even nicknamed it "church before church." He also talks about why habits and practices are SO important, not just for physical training, but for mental health, spiritual health, and all-around well-being. Be addicted to PROGRESS, not perfection! The keep-going mentality, however big or small those steps are — and the consistency of those steps — is way more important than any "perfection." It's not what you're doing OCCASIONALLY that matters, but what you're doing CONSISTENTLY.

The Power of Habits | Christian Huff & Craig Groeschel Dec 02, 2022

Craig Groeschel, pastor of Life.Church and host of the "Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast," joins Christian for a frank, encouraging and convicting conversation. Craig has a lot to say about forming good habits, breaking bad ones, and the way discipline begets discipline. Starting small can often be the hardest, most important step! Craig and Christian discover they both dislike flossing, but the discipline of the teeth-cleaning ritual is what they both place value on, so the flossing continues! Plus, if anyone who has influence — however big or small — is a leader, then what kind of leader are YOU? Christian gets brutally honest about how difficult it can be to get out of the headspace of "you're not a good enough husband," and Craig has an enormous amount of wisdom to encourage anyone feeling the same way. They also dive into why "success" isn't defined as just hitting the goal you've set for yourself at some future date. Success is being faithful to Jesus today!

‘Fittest Man on Earth’ Rich Froning on Finding Faith & a New Identity in Christ | Christian Huff Nov 25, 2022

Christian is incredibly excited to speak with Rich Froning, the first person to win the title of "Fittest Man on Earth" after winning first place in the 2011 to 2014 CrossFit Games. Rich talks about where he gets his motivation to compete at such a high level, including a lot of busywork chores when he was growing up and having 25 male cousins who were always competing. Rich admits that as he gets older, he's not as interested in team competition and chooses to prioritize his family. While winning is certainly fun, the physical and emotional toll the training and competition takes is tough. Rich also recalls how placing second in the CrossFit Games was his rock bottom and a wake-up call that CrossFit had become not just his identity but an idol in his life. How do you fight against idolizing it? It's a daily battle. Finally, Rich shares how he keeps a tally of how he's measuring up each day in three categories: faith, family, and fitness.

Phil Robertson Chose Ducks Over Pro Football & Doesn't Regret It Nov 18, 2022

Reluctant "Duck Dynasty" star and "Unashamed" podcast host Phil Robertson joins Christian to talk about why he walked away from a pro football career and encouraged his backup QB, Terry Bradshaw, to take his place. Phil also talks about the decision to turn his life over to the Lord. Over 45 years ago, Phil's sister said to a pastor about her brother: "If you convert him, he'll convert thousands." Phil tells Christian he never thought he'd be speaking to the world about Jesus Christ, but it's one of the great joys and privileges of his life, and he's fired up about Jesus returning! Phil's son, Al Robertson, joins the conversation to share his childhood experience of watching countless young men drift toward his dad to ask for advice and instruction. While Phil wasn't following Jesus at that time, it was an incredible foreshadowing of Phil's future leadership in sharing the Gospel. Phil encourages us to "just do good like Jesus did ... and we'll be all right."

How To Deal With Disappointment | Christian Huff & Adam Klink Nov 11, 2022

Christian is joined by Adam Klink, who just competed in the Leadville Trail 100 Run in Colorado. Adam gets brutally honest and for the first time shares what happened during that 24-hour run — how he adjusted to the higher altitude, how he pushed his body as far as he possibly could, and why his food plan didn't work. Adam was also the first to complete a 500-lb back squat and to run a sub-5 minute mile in the same day, which is something Christian just attempted, and they talk about how they both prepared and trained for this feat. Adam reminds us that success is often measured by the effort, not the outcome — and that's something only you can know: You gave it everything you had, you couldn't give it any more, and you're the personal judge of those feelings. If you gave 100% of everything you had, that's a success! Plus, sometimes it's a bigger learning opportunity to NOT make your goal on the first attempt. And a closing encouragement, especially to all the influencers out there: If you only showcase your wins, sure, that's cool, but isn't it more relatable for people if you're sharing your struggles too? Show people your hard days, your better days, the things you love, the things that haven't worked as well. Share it!

He also reveals his journey to becoming the spiritual leader of his household and why doing the dishes was a huge first step.

How Touring with Thomas Rhett Changed His Life | Christian Huff & Conner Smith Oct 28, 2022

Christian met Conner Smith via a DM and a friendship began. Conner grew up loving two things: baseball and songwriting. He's relatively new on the country music scene — he just wrapped a tour with Thomas Rhett and Parker McCollum — and earlier this week he performed at the Grand Ole Opry. He tells us being on tour was challenging physically, mentally and spiritually, but it also grew him more than he's ever experienced, and having a seasoned artist like Rhett to watch and learn from was a blessing. Conner challenges us that we can't be half-in and half-out for God and that the best place to be is as close to the Lord as possible and NOT as close to sinning as possible without sinning. And when you doubt where the Lord has brought you in your life, NEVER doubt His trust in you and His care for you!

Just like athletes strategize and plan how to get better at plays on the field or in the gym, shouldn't we also strategize for how to love people better? Plus, Tim and Christian share encouragement to anyone who's ever felt like they're not ready to share the Gospel and why not "having all the answers" shouldn't stop you. Tim also challenges fellow believers to give EVERYTHING you have to the Lord and watch what He will do with it. It's not about how much or what you give — it's about giving all of it!
