What if the bottom was the beginning? Travis Kring joins us to share how losing his marriage, money, and identity became the wake-up call that reordered his life around Jesus and ignited a mission to encourage men. From a desperate fork in the road to a disciplined daily walk, this is a candid look at how faith, family, fitness, and finances can be rebuilt in the right order.
We dig into the power of community and why isolation fuels shame. Travis explains how a simple decision to pray by the water fountain at a secular gym grew into a daily gathering of dozens, creating a space where men open up about divorce, addiction, anxiety, and money stress. He connects sweat and suffering to spiritual growth, showing how self-control in the gym often unlocks self-control in life. Along the way, he offers practical anchors: start with the Gospel of John, read a Proverb each day, commit to a Christ-centered church, and join a small group that tells you the truth in love.
Family and forgiveness take center stage as we talk about fighting for your home with Scripture and humility. Pride and offense split relationships; quick repentance and consistent obedience heal them. Travis challenges men to “attack back” when temptation and fear hit, to control what they can control, and to stop keeping score. He’s lived the cost of compromise and the freedom of surrender—and he’s living proof that shame and guilt lose their power when you step into grace.
