From Cancer Survivor to Kingdom Warrior: Roger Gadd's Story of Faith, Resilience & Purpose
2026/10/10
What happens when life hits you with one challenge after another—and instead of running from God, you run toward Him? On this episode of The Man Up Show, Nikita Koloff sits down with longtime friend Roger Gadd for a powerful conversation about faith, family, perseverance, and purpose. Roger shares his incredible journey from a young man who knew very little about God to becoming a committed follower of Christ. He opens up about battling non-Hodgkin lymphoma at just 27 years old, enduring surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation—and the moment during that difficult season when he says he experienced the unmistakable presence and love of God. But Roger's story didn't end there. He later faced a mini-stroke, was diagnosed with polycythemia vera, and eventually underwent open-heart surgery to replace his aortic valve. Through every trial, Roger discovered a deeper truth: what the enemy intended for destruction could become an opportunity to draw closer to the Lord. Nikita and Roger also talk about marriage, fatherhood, grandfatherhood, coaching young athletes, business, and the danger of allowing your career to become your identity. Roger's message is simple but profound: your job is an assignment, but your identity is found in Christ. Whether you're walking through a health crisis, struggling to find your purpose, or simply looking for encouragement in your faith, Roger's testimony is a reminder that you don't have to face life's battles alone. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." — Philippians 4:13
Overcoming Trauma, Changing Your Mindset & Finding Healing | Q&A with Erin Hitch
2026/10/06
In this powerful episode of Q&A with Koloff, Nikita sits down with Erin Hitch of Douglasville, Georgia, for an honest and inspiring conversation about marriage, faith, health, forgiveness, and overcoming the wounds of the past. Erin shares the noticeable transformation she witnessed in her husband, Matthew, after attending Man Camp—including how he became more intentional about prayer, making God-centered decisions, and leading his family. She also opens up about their family's health journey and the changes they've experienced along the way. But the heart of this episode comes when Erin asks a deeply personal question: How do you change your mindset when you've grown up surrounded by negativity and trauma? Nikita offers encouragement about choosing a positive perspective, intentionally renewing your mindset, and seeking genuine healing from past hurts rather than simply learning to live with them. Together, they discuss forgiveness, childhood wounds, faith, and the importance of allowing God to bring healing to the heart. If you've ever struggled with negative thinking, past trauma, fear, unforgiveness, or automatically expecting the worst, this episode will encourage you to take the next step toward healing.

Pierre shares the remarkable story of how those childhood memories eventually came full circle—and how he became not only friends with Nikita, but brothers in Christ. Pierre also opens up about his transformative experience at Nikita's Man Up Intensive and Man Camp, the impact it had on his life, and the friendships and faith that came from the experience.

David Kerley Episode #292
2026/09/15
In this heartfelt episode of Q&A with Koloff, Nikita Koloff welcomes author, stage performer, and Man Camp alumnus David Curley for a conversation about loss, faith, perseverance, and God's faithfulness through life's unexpected seasons. David shares the story behind his book, 50 Curley Q's to My Wonderful Life, inspired by the classic film It's a Wonderful Life. Through 50 personal memoir stories—some humorous, some painful, and some deeply reflective—David opens up about losing his son, his father, and his job, and how those experiences ultimately helped draw him back into a closer relationship with God. The conversation also explores David's journey to Man Camp, his experience performing a one-man stage production featuring more than 30 characters, and the lessons he has learned about embracing our imperfections and trusting God in the middle of them. David turns the tables and asks Nikita about one of his favorite wrestling memories: teaming with the legendary American Dream Dusty Rhodes. Nikita shares personal stories from their years together, including the origin of the "Russian Nightmare" name, traveling with Dusty, and a dream they once shared of owning land out West. Nikita also reflects on his own transition from professional wrestling to ministry, sharing how a life-changing encounter with Christ eventually led to Koloff for Christ Ministries, decades of ministry, and a passion for challenging and equipping men to become godly husbands, fathers, and leaders. This episode is a powerful reminder that even through loss, failure, disappointment, and unexpected detours, God never leaves us—and He can bring purpose and redemption to every chapter of our story.
Man Up! Matt Hitch
2026/09/12
In this powerful episode of It's Time to Man Up, Nikita Koloff sits down with longtime friend and Man Camp team member Matt Hitch for a conversation about faith, family, health, and transformation. Matt shares how attending Man Camp changed his life and gave him practical tools that helped strengthen his marriage through some of the most difficult seasons he and his wife have faced. He also talks about his role leading worship at Man Camp and why helping men become stronger spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically is so important. The conversation then turns personal as Matt opens up about the unexpected loss of his father and the wake-up call it created in his own health journey. After reaching 299 pounds, Matt decided it was time to make a change. Just weeks into a new health and wellness regimen, he had already lost 20 pounds and set his sights on an ultimate goal of 215–225 pounds. Matt also shares his mother's experience with collagen and discusses the health and wellness products that have become part of their journey. This is an honest conversation about taking responsibility for your health, pursuing God, strengthening your family, and making meaningful changes one step at a time
Q&A With Koloff- Episode #291
2026/09/08
What happens when you sell your house, sell your vehicles, buy a camper and Jeep, and set out to tour America with no fixed timeline? On this episode of Q&A with Koloff, Nikita Koloff sits down with Bucky and Renee Griffith, a couple who have chosen to step out in faith and embrace an entirely new chapter of life. After nearly 52 years of marriage, they sold virtually everything they owned and hit the road in their camper, "The Blessing." Their journey is about far more than seeing the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, the Badlands, and other incredible sights across America. Bucky and Renee believe God has called them to experience His creation, meet people along the way, and share the hope and message of Jesus wherever their journey takes them. The conversation also takes a powerful turn as Renee reflects on the transformation she witnessed in Bucky after his experience at Man Camp, while Bucky asks Nikita about his salvation, ministry journey, growing up in poverty, and the process of overcoming a poverty mentality. This episode is a powerful reminder that sometimes faith means letting go of what is comfortable, trusting God with the unknown, and taking the next step—even when you don't know exactly where the road will lead. Tune in and discover what it means to go "all in" with God, live generously, and become a blessing wherever you go.
Man Up! Randy Simpkins
2026/09/05
What happens when God takes an unexpected moment and turns it into a life-changing mission? In this episode of The Man Up Show, host Nikita sits down with pastor and kidney donor Randy Simpkins for a powerful conversation about faith, obedience, sacrifice, and the difference one person can make in another person's life. Randy shares the remarkable story of how he became a living kidney donor after overhearing a desperate plea from someone searching for an O-positive donor. What began as a prompting from the Holy Spirit ultimately led to a successful kidney donation—and a new mission to raise awareness about the tremendous need for living kidney donors. Randy also shares the vision behind End the Wait, an upcoming feature film and national awareness campaign designed to inspire people to learn more about kidney donation and the lives that can be changed through it. The conversation also turns toward Man Camp, where Randy opens up about stepping outside his comfort zone, finding spiritual rest and clarity, and experiencing God in ways he didn't expect. He shares how the experience has impacted his ministry, his family, and the men he now encourages to pursue a deeper relationship with Christ. This episode is a powerful reminder that obedience can lead to blessing, one life can impact another, and sometimes God uses an unexpected moment to reveal exactly why He has placed us where we are. In this episode: Randy's journey as a living kidney donor The urgent need for kidney transplants and living donors The vision behind End the Wait How churches can get involved through Banking on a Kidney Randy's experience at Man Camp Stepping outside your comfort zone to hear from God The importance of prayer, obedience, and spiritual growth How one person can become a vessel for God to change another person's life Come away encouraged, challenged, and reminded to be salt and light, make a difference, and live a God-filled life.
