34. The Best Sermons Are Lived: Heritage, Healing & Hats with Derek Welborn of Saints Western 04/15/2026

34. The Best Sermons Are Lived: Heritage, Healing & Hats with Derek Welborn of Saints Western If you've ever walked through a season that felt like loss only to discover it was actually the beginning of something beautiful, Derek Welborn's story is going to meet you right where you are. Derek is the founder of , a heritage brand rooted in purpose, craftsmanship, and legacy, who lives in Dripping Springs, Texas with his wife Jill and their two daughters, Jaymes and Gray — and his journey from full-time pastor to hat maker to brand partner with worship artist is one of the most unexpected and deeply moving stories we've had the privilege of sharing. After 15 years in full-time ministry — including leading a church that met in a bar on Austin's Second Street where baptisms happened on the sidewalk — Derek was blindsided at 36 by a severe case of alopecia that left him losing his hair in clumps overnight. What followed was a year of identity crisis, quiet wrestling with God, and a Father's Day request for a felt block and a sweatband that changed everything. Derek taught himself hat making from YouTube videos, and his first sale came after a church member told him "Paul was a tentmaker — you're a hat maker" and bought him a full set of hat blocks. His community rallied around him from the start — a launch party thrown by a friend, a website built by a small group member, and 20 hats sold out of the gate. A dream to one day make Brandon Lake a hat came true within three months, sparking a friendship that eventually led to Brandon coming on as a partner in Saints Western. Mentor Clint Huff gave Derek his first real shot at Round Top, invested in equipment, and flew him to a century-old family boot factory in Mexico — before moving to Panama to start a school. Derek uses Saints Western as a ministry platform, praying with customers in his booth, gifting hats to children with alopecia, and letting the brand's tagline — the best sermons are lived, not preached — open doors for faith conversations. What makes this episode so special is the way Derek holds his story — and his brand — with open hands. From the Airstream he bought for $4,500 and two hats to touring with Brandon Lake across the country, every chapter points back to a God who, as Derek puts it, restores what was lost and gives it back as a gift. You can find Saints Western online and catch their Airstream pop-up at Brandon Lake tour dates this season. /episode/index/show/29d52770-b8e5-4a07-a0b8-10da08b303fe/id/40877095

Macy is a full-time content creator, hunter, gardener, and outdoor lifestyle storyteller based in Alabama, whose warmth and authenticity have drawn a massive following across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Snapchat. What started as filming life in a log cabin in the North Georgia mountains with her dachshund quickly snowballed into a thriving full-time career. Macy's roots in PR, her love of the outdoors, and her willingness to just show up as herself online struck a chord with audiences hungry for something normal and positive — and within a year of going viral, she had left her agency job to pursue it full time. Macy's content took off during COVID when she started sharing authentic outdoor and country life experiences — no filter, no performance, just real life. Her faith is central to everything she does, and she starts every single morning with Bible and breakfast, a standing event on her Google calendar. She met her husband Slay on a Turkey hunt — introduced by a mutual creator friend — and the two have built a life and a business partnership grounded in shared faith. Macy launched Front Porch Faith, a podcast and YouTube series built on the belief that faith should be as simple and accessible as sitting on your front porch. She's currently expanding to long-form YouTube content, bringing viewers along on full hunts with videographers — essentially her own version of a hunting show. What makes Macy's story so compelling is the way calling and creativity have intersected throughout her life — from college softball to digital art, from PR to the woods, from log cabin videos to a faith-forward media brand she's building with intention. She's funny, grounded, and genuinely inspiring, and this conversation will leave you wanting to put your phone down, step outside, and start something.

27. How Evan Cooper Grew to Millions by Being Authentic 02/25/2026

27. How Evan Cooper Grew to Millions by Being Authentic What happens when you lose your job and decide to bet everything on a dream that feels impossible? When Jenny and I sat down under the oaks with Evan Cooper, that’s exactly where we started. After being fired from his sales job, Evan chose to go all-in on content creation with 8,000 followers and $4 in his bank account. No backup plan. No viral moment. Just a decision. In this conversation, he shares the raw reality behind building a social media presence from scratch — posting 150 videos that “nobody watched,” questioning himself, and slowly discovering that trying to be impressive was actually holding him back. Everything shifted with one simple 22-second video about going to the movies alone. Not flashy. Not overproduced. Just honest. We talk about the internal shift that mattered more than the algorithm and how authenticity became his secret weapon when he stopped trying to be “cool” and started being himself. The conversation moves into fostering rescue dogs (including the internet-famous Vader), coaching middle school basketball, and the life-shaping conversation he had with his mom in a Walmart parking lot that redefined why he creates in the first place. Key insights you'll gain from this episode The power of consistent failure as a learning tool - How intentionally failing fast can accelerate your path to success. Finding your authentic voice - Why being vulnerable about loneliness and struggles creates deeper connections than highlighting wins. The importance of giving back - How helping others became both his content strategy and personal fulfillment. Building community in a lonely industry - Honest thoughts on the isolation that comes with content creation and how to combat it. Strategic content decisions - The intentional choices behind everything from his signature black shirt uniform to when he shares mental health updates. This isn’t a typical “how I went viral” story. It’s an honest conversation about resilience, purpose, and using your platform to make others feel seen and heard. If you’ve ever felt behind, overlooked, or unsure whether to keep going, this episode is for you.

23. Living Restored: Dana Gentry on Building a Life with Intention Sometimes the most beautiful stories come from the most unexpected places. What if I told you that spray tanning people in a small Kentucky town could lead to a thriving real estate career, keynote speaking, and writing a book to inspire thousands? 's story is anything but conventional. From battling panic attacks and addiction to building a successful business empire, her path has been marked by both struggle and incredible faith. But it's not just about overcoming obstacles, it's about how she's learned to live with such intentionality that every day becomes an opportunity to shine light in the secular world. What Makes This Conversation So Compelling This isn't your typical success story. Dana gets refreshingly honest about the messy parts, losing friends in tragic accidents, her father's battle with alcoholism, and her own struggle with prescription drug dependency. But what's remarkable is how she's transformed these experiences into wisdom that helps others avoid burnout while pursuing their biggest dreams. You'll hear about the moment she sat on Sullivan's Island beach, completely burned out despite outward success, and how God spoke the word "restore" so clearly that it became the foundation for her first book. It's the kind of story that makes you believe in divine appointments and perfect timing. The Practical Wisdom You'll Gain Dana doesn't just share inspiring stories, she gives you actionable strategies for living intentionally: The power of mentor lunches and seven specific questions that can change your career trajectory How to create boundaries that protect and feed your soul Daily rhythms that keep you grounded, including her unique approach to morning routines The 80/20 principle for sustainable living without perfectionist pressure Building authentic relationships that transcend social and economic differences Her Four Life-Changing Pillars Through years of personal development work, Dana identified four pillars that shaped her success: intentional living, building great relationships, the power of proximity to mentors, and running your own race. Each pillar comes with real stories and practical applications that you can implement immediately. What I love most about this conversation is Dana's heart for making Christianity look "perfectly imperfect." She's proof that you can be successful in the secular world while letting your faith shine bright—feathers on your shirt and all. Whether you're feeling stuck in your career, struggling with comparison, or simply wanting to live with more purpose, Dana's story will leave you feeling both challenged and encouraged.

22. What Happens When You Stop Chasing Someone Else’s Goals Does January ever make you feel like you’re supposed to become a whole new person overnight? New habits. New body. New routines. New life. And somehow it all feels exhausting before it even starts. In this episode, we’re flipping the traditional goal-setting mindset on its head. Instead of starting with everything we think we need to fix, we start with something deeper: who God created us to be. After reading The Road Back to You and walking through our own journeys of self-discovery, we’ve seen how our personality, wiring, and natural tendencies shape whether our goals actually take root or quietly fall apart a few weeks into the year. What if growth didn’t mean becoming someone else? What if it meant becoming a healthier, more grounded version of who you already are? What if we started with gratitude instead of guilt? This conversation is about building goals that align with your real life, your real season, your real rhythms and your God-given design instead of chasing unrealistic standards that lead to burnout and frustration. In this episode, we talk about: Why identity-first goal setting changes everything How to recognize the difference between growth and trying to be someone you’re not The line between healthy challenge and burnout culture Why celebrating your wins actually fuels sustainable growth How to create goals that work with your personality instead of against it What it looks like to pursue growth rooted in faith, peace, and alignment We also share reflections from this past year, from family memories and travel, to finding sustainable rhythms with health and fitness, to naming areas where God is inviting deeper trust, especially in seasons of worry and fear. This episode isn’t about doing less with your life. It’s about doing it with more intention. More peace. More clarity.More alignment. Because real growth doesn’t feel like pressure, it feels like becoming who God already created you to be. /episode/index/show/29d52770-b8e5-4a07-a0b8-10da08b303fe/id/39896350
