Episode 34 - Forgiven When God’s Will Rewrites Your Story
This one feels like closure and calling at the same time.

Dillon shares the story of hearing the words “I forgive you” from his ex-wife and realizing it was the final chain God was waiting to cut. That moment opened the door to forgiving himself, to hearing God’s will louder t...

Episode 30: Pastor Jamie & Dillon on Mens mens mental health
In honor of Men’s Mental Health Month, we sat down together, not just as coach and pastor, but as two men who’ve walked through fire and lived to talk about it. This isn’t a highlight reel.

The pain we pack down because the world expects us to hold it all together. We talked about what it’s like to lead, to break, to heal, and to ...
