In this episode, Daron sits down with his oldest son Cole Earlewine at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a raw conversation about junior year at Ball State University and playing football. Injuries, a &quot;gray&quot; wilderness season, the leadership of a team-only Bible study at &quot;the grape,&quot; 52 teammates packed into his living room on Maundy Thursday, and the slow process of becoming a follower of Jesus instead of just a fan.

Months of hidden faithfulness build the capacity to carry public impact. \u26a1\ufe0f A real relationship with Jesus is not just doctrine. It is daily conversation, scripture, fight against temptation, and dependence on the Holy Spirit.
