Pastor Joby Martin and Denny Thompson sit down with New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin on this week’s episode of Built 4 More. Charles walked on at Georgia Tech until a broken vertebra ended the football dream he shared with his dad. He waited hours to make the call. His dad’s answer: “If I leave right now, I can be there by supper.” Years later, Charles turned down a six-figure job to pursue writing, while his wife Christy stood with him through 86 rejection letters. He tells those stories, shares how he and Joby began writing books together, and talks about the question behind his new book, *The Reason for Jesus*: Do you know God as your Father? This episode is about what happens when your identity falls apart, what it costs to follow a calling, and why Jesus came to make the Father known.

Pastor Joby Martin and Denny Thompson sit down with Shane Winnings, the CEO of Promise Keepers, on this week's episode of Built 4 More. Before he led a national men's ministry, Shane was an Army officer and jumpmaster, then a police officer in one of the most violent stretches of Washington State. He has been shot at in war, and the thing that scared him most was walking up to a stranger to talk about Jesus. This episode is about where that fear comes from, why it hits Christians who are brave everywhere else, and the simple rule that finally beat it.

Pastor Joby Martin and Denny Thompson sit down with Dr. Joel Muddamalle on this week's episode of Built 4 More. Joel is the Director of Theology and Research at Proverbs 31 Ministries, cohost of Therapy and Theology alongside Lysa TerKeurst, and author of The Unseen Battle. Before any of that, Joel was a Bible software salesman at the peak of his career, traveling 150,000 miles a year while his marriage quietly fell apart. His oldest son started hiding his travel bag because he knew dad would leave when it came out. Joel, Joby, and Denny talk about the reality of spiritual warfare and why the enemy's tactics are more subtle than most people expect. Joel breaks down the ancient pattern of temptation through what we see, what we desire, and what we take, and how that same pattern shows up today through addiction, pornography, AI, entertainment, and comfort. They get into what it means to give the enemy a foothold, what is actually discipling you and your kids, why feelings cannot be the authority over Scripture, how to test the words God told me, and why ordinary obedience in the smallest task matters more than chasing outcomes.

Pastor Joby Martin and Denny Thompson sit down with Super Bowl champion Brady Russell of the Seattle Seahawks. Brady grew up in church, led FCA in high school, and knew all the right answers. But looking back, he realized there was a major difference between knowing about Jesus and actually knowing Him. Brady walks through the seasons when God’s plan made little sense in the moment. At Colorado, he had every reason to leave, but while praying he felt God tell him to “be where your feet are.” What followed was one of the hardest seasons of his life, and Brady began wondering if he had heard God wrong. It was only later that he saw what God had been doing through him the entire time. Joby, Denny, and Brady talk about trusting God when you cannot see the outcome, why obedience often comes before understanding, how to recognize God’s faithfulness in hindsight, and what it looks like to follow Jesus when the people around you do not. Brady shares why he prayed for a platform as a kid, only to discover that his greatest platform would not be fame or attention. It would be the relationships right in front of him. Today, Brady is using that platform to disciple other NFL players, lead Bible studies, and live out a faith that can be seen in the way he works, leads, and serves. It is a conversation about being faithful where God has placed you and trusting that no season is wasted when He is the one leading you.

Pastor Joby Martin and Denny Thompson sit down with Dr. Jeremiah Johnston, New York Times bestselling author of The Jesus Discoveries, president of the Christian Thinkers Society, and one of the world's leading scholars on the resurrection of Jesus. He earned his PhD at Oxford studying the resurrection. Jeremiah did not just talk about the evidence. He put it on the table. The oldest fragment of the New Testament. A replica of the whip that took a third of Jesus's blood. A crown of thorns cut in Jerusalem the week before, from the same tree the Ark of the Covenant was built from. Coins of every man who tried to kill Jesus. And a real first century crucifixion nail, bent and rusted from use, that left Denny speechless. Then he walks through the physics of the Shroud of Turin: an image one fifth the width of a human hair, created by 34 billion watts of energy in a fraction of a billionth of a second, that science still cannot replicate. Joby, Denny, and Jeremiah talk about how we have 5,800 manuscripts of the New Testament, the miraculous healing of Jeremiah's son Abel, why you are the pastor of your home, why faith was never meant to be faith in faith, and the moment a box marked Crown of Thorns showed up on Denny’s doorstep.

Pastor Joby Martin and Denny Thompson sit down with Edwin Martin on this week’s episode of Built 4 More. At 20 years old, Edwin was hiding a four year gambling addiction that nearly cost him his life. He was borrowing money he couldn’t repay, carrying debts no one knew about, and placing bets from the church pew while claiming to follow Jesus. It ended with Edwin alone on his bathroom floor, ready to take his own life. He prayed one desperate prayer: “God, if You are real, reveal Yourself.” Ten seconds later, his best friend unexpectedly texted him three words: “I love you.” That text interrupted Edwin’s darkest moment, and the friend who sent it would eventually lead him to Christ. Five years later, Edwin is an endurance athlete using every mile to point people toward hope. He recently ran 133.2 miles on a treadmill for 24 hours straight at a 10:49 minute per mile pace to raise money for suicide prevention. Months earlier, he ran across the entire state of South Carolina to support families battling cancer. Joby, Denny, and Edwin talk about the gambling epidemic hiding in plain sight, how sports betting is being engineered to keep people hooked, the difference between Jesus plus something and Jesus alone, why the enemy doesn’t care how he hooks you, and what can happen when you obey a nudge from God. They also discuss fitness without fulfillment, stewarding your body as an act of worship, and The Ship, which is Edwin’s mission to mentor fatherless boys. If you have ever hidden a struggle behind a smile or wondered whether your story can still be redeemed, this conversation is for you.

Pastor Joby Martin and Denny Thompson sit down with Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen on this week's episode of Built 4 More. Liam was a four-year starting quarterback at UMass where he still holds multiple school passing records. He spent nearly a decade grinding through small Northeast programs  Brown, Rhode Island, and Maine, writing handwritten letters and knocking on every NFL door he could find, until one relationship finally got him in with Sean McVay and the Rams. A few years later he's the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and in year one he took a franchise that had been going nowhere and led it to 13 wins and a division championship. But long before any of that, Liam walked through the hardest thing of his life. He opens up about losing his mother, Beth after  a four year battle with Lyme disease while he was in college and his dad was in the hospital. He talks honestly about burying that grief for a decade, the way it eventually crept up and started to eat at him, the mental health toll of pretending he was fine, and how a real relationship with Jesus finally brought him grace, forgiveness, and healing. Joby, Denny, and Liam talk about authenticity and why players "sniff out a fraud" instantly, the permission to fail that unlocked Trevor Lawrence, why he deleted all of his social media, the difference between a hero and a warrior, why "balance doesn't exist," what Travis Hunter really brings to the locker room, and what it looks like to stop trying to be someone else and become who God actually made you. 👍 If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and turn on notifications so you never miss a new episode of Built 4 More. 🎙️ Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/built-4-more/id1797411058 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/00qd9DnMZJCGPUQbcNJmH1?si=d683e01fdefb4329 FOLLOW BUILT 4 MORE: 🌐 Website: https://built4morepod.com/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/built4morepod/ 👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/built4morepod 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@built4morepod 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@built4morepod Chapters: 00:00 – Meet Coach Liam Coen 04:36 – Why He Fell in Love With Jacksonville 07:11 – How He Turned the Jaguars Around 09:48 – Did He Know Trevor Could Be This? 10:19 – Watching Trevor Lawrence as a Freshman 13:17 – "Go Be You": Unlocking Trevor 15:28 – The Permission to Fail 18:21 – Why He Stopped Trying to Be Other Coaches 20:17 – The Houston Collapse 21:12 – Hero vs. Warrior: The Meeting That Turned the Season 24:59 – The Youngest Staff in NFL History 27:24 – "Do I Belong Here?" 30:25 – The Night He Knew He Belonged 32:39 – What Sean McVay Taught Him About People 33:32 – Tony Boselli and the Standard 35:18 – The Travis Hunter Trade 35:44 – The Real Travis Hunter 39:34 – From UMass QB to NFL Head Coach 40:38 – How He Went From Maine to the Rams 46:37 – "We'll Play Anybody, Anywhere, Anytime" 49:22 – The Pressure of High Expectations 51:56 – Losing His Mom 55:07 – The Trauma He Buried for 10 Years 55:50 – How Faith Brought Him Grace and Forgiveness 59:05 – The Cleats and the Holy Spirit 1:00:38 – The Myth of "There" 1:01:28 – The Question That Made Him Quit Social Media 1:03:26 – Why Balance Doesn't Exist 1:05:48 – Family Days and Putting People First 1:08:22 – Why He's Grateful to Coach in Jacksonville #Built4More #LiamCoen #Jaguars #NFL #ChristianPodcast #Faith #Testimony

Pastor Joby Martin and Denny Thompson sit down with Pro Football Hall of Famer Tony Boselli on this week's episode of Built 4 More. Tony was one of the most dominant left tackles to ever play the game. The first draft pick in Jacksonville Jaguars history, the best in the world at what he did. Then, at thirty years old and at the top of his game, a shoulder injury ended all of it. In an instant, the one thing he was great at was gone, and Tony was left away from everyone he knew, depressed, angry at God, and asking the question that leveled him: who am I without football? Tony shares what those years actually did to him. Being told his shoulder would never work again at the peak of his career. Lying in bed as a grown man wondering where God's protection went. The morning he realized four little kids and a wife were watching to see what kind of man he would be. And the thought that finally broke it open, if God had told him at eighteen that he would get USC, the NFL, a Hall of Fame career, and then have it all taken at thirty, would he still have said yes? Joby, Denny, and Tony talk about identity, the battle with control, why success never actually tells you who you are, learning to count it all joy in the middle of suffering, and the Bible study that started with a handful of Jaguars players in 1996 and grew into a church. Tony also opens up about his role as Executive Vice President of Football Operations, why his entire job comes down to one sentence, making other people successful, and what it really looks like to finally stop trying to be God. If you have ever built your whole identity on the thing you are best at, this conversation is for you. 🎙️ Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/built-4-more/id1797411058 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/00qd9DnMZJCGPUQbcNJmH1?si=d683e01fdefb4329 FOLLOW BUILT 4 MORE: 🌐 Website: https://built4morepod.com/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/built4morepod/ 👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/built4morepod 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@built4morepod 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@built4morepod Chapters: 00:00 – Meet Tony Boselli 02:22 – Three Strangers, One Standard 04:15 – You Can Be Talented and Still Get Cut 07:10 – Why Shad Khan Hired Us 08:18 – The Executive Assistant Who Became a GM 11:32 – "My Only Job Is to Make Them Successful" 12:16 – Humility Is a Posture, Not a Personality 14:29 – One Ego Can Burn the Whole Thing Down 15:53 – The Houston Game and the Ghost of "Old Jacksonville" 21:09 – The Meeting That Turned the Season 21:57 – Eight Straight Wins and a New Offense 26:24 – The Offensive Line Is a Picture of the Gospel 31:33 – What Tom Coughlin Taught Him 39:32 – "We Get Paid More Than We Deserve" 41:53 – The Injury That Ended His Career 43:19 – His Wife Became His Rock 46:08 – The Thing You're Stressed About Was Once Your Prayer 48:16 – Trying to Be God Will Wreck You 50:18 – Consider It Pure Joy 52:07 – Learning to Enjoy the Suffering 59:53 – "I'd Be Lying If I Said I Don't Like Being a Hall of Famer" 1:00:17 – What He Values More Than the Gold Jacket 1:03:05 – The Bible Study That Became a Church 1:13:34 – "Dad, I Got Saved" 1:20:00 – Why Broadcasting Left Him Empty 1:25:44 – David in the Pasture: Preparation, Not Punishment 1:31:47 – "The More My Guys Are With You, the Less Likely They Are to Go to Jail" 1:35:29 – Crisis Is a Terrible Calendar 1:37:36 – We've Never Been Their Age in This Age 1:44:32 – Why the Draft Is the Most Misunderstood Event in Sports 1:54:30 – The Man Behind the Hall of Famer
