What does it truly mean to be a man of God in today's world?

In this episode of Called and Running, we dive into Paul's powerful challenge in 1 Corinthians 16: 13-14: "Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love." Together, we discuss biblical manhood, spiritual leadership, courage, responsibility, and what it looks like to stand firm in faith when culture pushes in the opposite direction.

This conversation isn't about pride, dominance, or worldly strength—it's about men who are surrendered to Christ, rooted in God's Word, leading their families well, serving others, and standing boldly for truth while walking in love.

Whether you're a husband, father, future husband, or simply a man seeking to grow in your walk with Jesus, this episode will challenge and encourage you to step into the calling God has placed on your life.

"The world needs strong men. God is raising up faithful men."

From a childhood marked by rejection, broken promises, and abuse, Chase spent much of his life searching for the love and acceptance he never received at home. Kicked out during high school, he found himself relying on friends for shelter and stability, while pouring his heart into caring for others and even animals—constantly giving love in hopes of finding it in return. Yet no matter how much he gave, an emptiness remained.

Everything changed when one life-altering decision, made in an attempt to protect a friend, led Chase to the edge of losing his freedom. Facing the possibility of years in prison, he found himself at rock bottom with nowhere left to turn.

In this powerful testimony, Chase shares how Jesus met him in his darkest moment, transforming a hardened and wounded heart into one filled with hope, purpose, and the Holy Spirit. What seemed destined to end in tragedy became a story of mercy, redemption, and a second chance at life.

Join us as Chase opens up about pain, survival, forgiveness, and the incredible grace of God that rescued him when all hope seemed lost. This is a story for anyone who has ever felt unloved, forgotten, or beyond saving—a reminder that Jesus specializes in redemption and that no life is too broken for His restoration.
