What if your pain is drawing you closer to God?

In this powerful clip from Come On Podcast, Brandon and Sawyer talk about how pain, anxiety, depression, and struggles can become the very thing that pushes us toward dependence on God.

Because if life was always easy…
Would we ever truly seek Him?

Sometimes God uses the hard seasons to teach us rest, humility, community, and reliance on Him instead of ourselves.

Not every struggle is punishment.
Sometimes it’s preparation.
Sometimes it’s refinement.
Sometimes it’s an invitation to draw near to God in a deeper way than ever before.

The pain may not make sense right now…
but God can still use it for something greater.

Sometimes asking for help is the bravest thing a man can do.

In this raw and honest conversation from Come On Podcast, Brandon and Sawyer talk about the pressure many men grow up with:

“Deal with it.”
“Be a man.”
“Don’t talk about your problems.”

For a lot of men, asking for counseling or opening up emotionally can feel like failure.

But maybe it’s actually the opposite.

Maybe the hardest battle isn’t weakness…
Maybe it’s pride.

Thinking we have to carry everything alone.
Thinking we always have to “have it together.”

Healing begins when we finally admit:
“I can’t do this by myself.”

Real strength isn’t pretending you’re okay.
Real strength is being honest enough to ask for help.

“Is anxiety a sin… or a symptom of a fallen world?”

In this thought-provoking conversation from Come On Podcast, Brandon and Sawyer unpack one of the biggest misconceptions many Christians wrestle with:

Does struggling with anxiety or depression mean you lack faith?

They reflect on 2 Timothy 1:7:
“God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.”

For many believers, anxiety can feel like guilt or spiritual failure. But this conversation challenges that mindset with grace and biblical perspective.

Anxiety, depression, pain, and brokenness were never part of God’s original design.
They are evidence of a fallen world, not proof that someone is failing as a Christian.

You can love God deeply…
and still struggle mentally and emotionally.

If you’ve ever felt ashamed for battling anxiety or depression, this conversation is for you.
You are not fighting alone.

We don’t question someone’s faith when they break a leg…

So why do we question it when someone struggles mentally?

In this powerful conversation, Sawyer and Brandon talk about depression, healing, counseling, and the stigma surrounding mental health in the Christian community.

Your brain is part of your body.
And just like any other part of the body, sometimes it needs healing too.

Needing help doesn’t make you weak.
And it definitely doesn’t make you less of a Christian.

If this message resonates with you, send it to someone who needs the reminder today.

“Are you really a Christian if you struggle with depression?”

In this honest conversation from Come On Podcast, Sawyer and Brandon confront the stigma surrounding mental health in Christian culture.

Too often, believers feel pressured to act like surrendering to God means they’ll never struggle emotionally or mentally again.

But Scripture shows us something different.

David struggled.
Elijah struggled.
Many faithful people in the Bible wrestled with deep emotions, despair, fear, and exhaustion, and God still loved them, used them, and walked with them through it.

Struggling mentally doesn’t make you less of a Christian.
It makes you human.

Maybe it’s time the church talked about mental health with more honesty, grace, and compassion.

NEW EPISODE OUT NOW | EPISODE 53 🎙️

This one is different.

Sawyer Smith and Brandon Clarke sit down for a real, vulnerable conversation about mental health, depression, anxiety, burnout, isolation, and the pressure many Christians feel to suffer silently.

“You’re still a Christian.”
That line alone may help somebody today.

This episode talks about:
✔️ Why mental health struggles exist even in strong believers
✔️ The stigma around counseling and asking for help
✔️ Why isolation makes things worse
✔️ God telling Elijah to REST
✔️ The importance of community, honesty, and vulnerability

One of the most powerful moments:
“The hardest and most courageous thing we can do… especially as men… is ask for help.”

If you’ve been overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, anxious, emotionally numb, or just trying to carry too much alone… we pray this conversation encourages you.

You are not alone.
And there is no shame in reaching out.

Watch/listen now and share with somebody who may need this today. ❤️

“What the heck does pre-approved even mean?” 😂

In this hilarious clip from Episode 52 of Come On Podcast, Zach and Sawyer get real about money, car shopping, and feeling completely lost when it comes to loans and financing.

From looking at Jeeps online to calling their banker buddy for help, this conversation is proof that not everyone has it all figured out, and that’s okay.

Sometimes you just need good people around you willing to guide you through life’s confusing moments.

Tag somebody who acts confident about money… but is secretly just winging it. 😂

Following Jesus was never promised to be easy.

In this powerful clip from Come On Podcast, Zach and Sawyer talk about the reality of resistance, opposition, and standing firm in your faith even when it costs you friendships, comfort, or acceptance.

Just like Paul and Barnabas faced opposition immediately after being sent out, believers today will face criticism, rejection, and spiritual battles too.

But the mission doesn’t stop because things get uncomfortable.

Sometimes carrying your cross daily means being misunderstood.
Sometimes it means losing your place in the “cool kids group.”
And sometimes the hardest opposition comes from inside the church itself.

But we can’t let church hurt, rejection, or resistance stop us from pursuing God and sharing the truth in a loving way.

Don’t let opposition silence your faith.
Keep going anyway.
