What happens when the dream dies—but the calling is just beginning?

In this raw and honest conversation, we sit down with former professional baseball player, Curtus Moak, who was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds, only to have his career abruptly cut short by injury. But that devastating loss didn’t end his story—it redirected it.

Now the lead pastor of a non-denominational, charismatic church, he opens up about taking over a decades-old church culture, the tension of leading into a new generation, and the unshakable lessons he learned in the wilderness. We talk about marriage, identity, spiritual authority, burnout, and what it really means to follow Jesus in 2025.

🔥 You’ll hear:

What baseball taught him about pastoring
How you honor the old while building something new
The cost of changing church culture
And why the church still matters today
This isn’t just a story of leadership—it’s a story of loss, grit, growth, and resurrection.
