137: How Surrender Unlocks a Full Life with Lyle Phillips

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Pastor Lyle Phillips to talk faith, obedience, and what it means to go all in for Christ. Lyle shares his journey from missionary work to church planting, including the risks he’s taken—like rescuing children from human trafficking. For me, this hit home. Reordering my priorities and putting faith first has reshaped how I approach family, business, and Ironman training. Obedience brings transformation. The fear of God isn’t about fear—it’s about reverence and clarity.
