What happens when the dream dies, the platform crumbles, and you're left with nothing but your thoughts and your faith?
In this raw and powerful episode, we sit down with Ryan Miller—husband, father of four, creator, and ministry leader—as he unpacks the valleys behind the highlight reel. From chasing a career in pro baseball, to building a multi-million dollar documentary that ultimately collapsed, Ryan opens up about the identity crisis, panic attacks, and shame that followed. But it was in the wilderness, face-down in failure, where he discovered the true meaning of meekness, surrender, and biblical manhood.
We talk about:
The destructive loop of performance-based identity
Masculinity in a world of Andrew Tate vs. watered-down faith
How failure led Ryan to a fearless faith
Why most men are medicating pain instead of confronting it
The first step every man must take to get off the “Ferris wheel” of failure
This episode is for every man who feels stuck, unseen, or unsure of how to lead his family while quietly battling shame and fear. It’s a reminder that you don’t have to perform to be loved—and that sometimes, the best thing God can do is let everything else fall apart.
