What happens when two men with unique life stories discover that God has a purpose far greater than anything they could have imagined? On this episode of Q&A with Koloff, Nikita Koloff welcomes Ben Graham, a member of the Billy Graham family legacy, pastor, author, filmmaker, and minister, for an inspiring conversation about faith, family, ministry, and the importance of standing for biblical truth. Ben shares his journey growing up in a fifth-generation preaching family, becoming a senior pastor, raising a family grounded in faith, and pursuing opportunities in filmmaking and writing. He also discusses his latest book, Ignorance and Apathy: Two of America's Deadliest Sins, and challenges Christians and church leaders to move beyond complacency, engage with the issues facing our nation, and become salt and light in the world. Then the tables turn as Ben asks Nikita about his unexpected entrance into professional wrestling, what he enjoyed most about performing in the ring, and the life-changing experience that led him to surrender his life to Jesus Christ on October 17, 1993.

What happens when God meets you in the middle of your darkest moments and begins to restore what you thought was lost? On this episode of It's Time to Man Up, Nikita Koloff welcomes entrepreneur, craftsman, husband, and father Bucky Abbott for a powerful conversation about faith, family, perseverance, and the transforming power of God. Bucky shares his incredible journey, including a past suicide attempt, his experience with mental health struggles, and how a personal invitation from Lex Luger led him to Man Camp. What happened there would become a pivotal moment in his walk with God. One of the most moving moments came when Bucky found himself repeatedly returning to a place called the Boneyard. Through the story of the Valley of Dry Bones in Ezekiel, he began to understand how God was bringing restoration, healing, and new life to areas of his own heart.

What does it mean to live life wholeheartedly? And how do you build meaningful, lasting relationships while keeping God at the center of everything you do? On this episode of Q&A with Koloff, Nikita Koloff welcomes special guest Robby Dillmore, host of The Christian Car Guy Show, for an engaging conversation about faith, personal transformation, biblical manhood, and the importance of intentional relationships. Robbie shares how Man Camp profoundly impacted his life—not only spiritually, but physically, emotionally, financially, and in his marriage. He opens up about his journey of transformation, the power of pursuing God's heart, and the importance of taking time away from life's distractions to become vulnerable before God and other men. Nikita answers two powerful questions from Robbie: Where did Nikita's passion for excellence and wholehearted commitment originate? How does he maintain so many meaningful, lasting relationships with people from all walks of life? Nikita reflects on growing up without a father, his wrestling career, and how his relationship with Jesus strengthened his commitment to doing everything with excellence. He also shares why being intentional, respecting others, and making time for people are essential to building lasting friendships. From wrestling stories and incredible testimonies of God's faithfulness to practical lessons on relationships and biblical manhood, this episode is filled with encouragement and inspiration.

What should Christians think about Halloween? Is it simply a fun holiday filled with costumes, candy, and community events, or does its history raise important questions about faith, fear, and the spiritual world? On this special Halloween episode of It's Time to Man Up, Nikita Koloff welcomes back his good friend Robbie Dilmore, host of The Christian Car Guy and pastor of Amazing Grace Church of Ramsour in North Carolina, for a thoughtful and engaging conversation about Halloween and its place in the Christian community. Together, Nikita and Robbie explore Halloween's historical roots, the connection to All Hallows' Eve and All Saints' Day, and the influence of Celtic traditions. They also discuss why some Christians choose not to celebrate Halloween, while others see it as an opportunity to connect with families, share their faith, and reach their communities with the message of Jesus Christ. From church-sponsored Trunk-or-Treat events and creative costumes to using seasonal traditions to minister to others, this conversation offers different perspectives without losing sight of what matters most: seeking God's wisdom and walking in the light. Robbie shares personal stories, pastoral insights, and practical encouragement for parents and families navigating questions about Halloween. The discussion also touches on honoring loved ones, finding meaningful ways to process grief, and making intentional choices that reflect your faith.

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

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.
