This week on the Engage Your Destiny Podcast, Ben Peterson brings a message every warrior needs: the fear of the Lord, the battle you’re in, and why the voice of God must matter more than the critics around you.
From Psalm 25, Ben unpacks how honoring God unlocks direction, prosperity, and inheritance—not only for us, but for the generations that follow. He shares how every struggle you face is building a legacy for those who come after you… and how God confides His secrets in those He can trust.
Ben also breaks down Teddy Roosevelt’s iconic “Man in the Arena” charge, reminding us that victory only belongs to those who dare greatly. The critics don’t count. The ones who step into the fight do.
WATCH UNTIL THE END - this story could change how you see pain, purpose and the power of redemption. Engage Your Destiny (EYD) is a 501(c)3 on a mission to help combat the deadly epidemic of military suicide with faith.
