What’s stopping you? Fear? Inertia? Excuses? In this powerful episode, Joseph Spurgeon sits down with A.D. Robles to issue a clear challenge to Christian men: You can just do stuff. Stop waiting. Stop blaming. Stop overthinking. Start building.

We talk Christian leadership, godly ambition, and how to stop letting passivity and fear keep you from honoring God with your life. Whether you’re thinking about starting a business, raising a family, or just trying to break free from the lie that masculinity is toxic—this episode will fire you up and give you clarity. A.D. shares from experience—headhunting, pastoring, and building with his own two hands—what it looks like to walk by faith and act with courage in a soft, fearful culture.
