This episode is one of those conversations that stays with you long after it ends. I sat down with my friend Morgan Vance, Executive Director of the Pat Summitt Foundation, and we talked about something that so many of us face but often feel alone in: what happens after you hit rock bottom?

Morgan opens up about walking through a painful divorce, the loneliness that followed, and the moment she found herself on her knees in her parents’ backyard, realizing she couldn’t do it on her own. But that wasn’t the end of her story — it was the beginning of a new one.

She shares how therapy, faith, and a simple bag of chips (yes, really) helped her rediscover joy and reclaim her identity. Her “one big thing”? That there’s always a reason to praise — even in the middle of the mess.

If you’re in a hard season right now — whether it’s divorce, depression, anxiety, or just feeling stuck — I want you to know you’re not alone. Morgan’s story is a reminder that healing is possible, joy is real, and sometimes the smallest moments can be the most powerful.

We also talk about the incredible work she’s doing through the Pat Summitt Foundation to support families impacted by Alzheimer’s, and how you can get connected if that’s part of your journey too.

In this episode of The One Big Thing, I had the privilege of sitting down with former MLB pitcher and current high school coach Justin Masterson. You might know him from his days on the mound with the Red Sox, but what really struck me in our conversation was his heart for people and his deep insights on emotional maturity.

We talked about what it means to grow—not just as a leader or athlete, but as a human being. Justin shared how his definition of maturity has evolved into the ability to handle emotions well, especially in the face of hardship. Whether he's coaching teenagers, navigating marriage, or serving in his community, he’s learned that staying relational and grounded is key.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The emotional weight athletes carry behind the scenes
• How to lead with empathy and humility in high-pressure environments
• Practical tools like the “CAKE” acronym and quieting techniques to regulate emotions
• Why identity and belonging are essential for real transformation
• Honest stories of failure, forgiveness, and fatherhood

I even share a personal story about a moment I blew it as a dad—and what it taught me about grace, humility, and the power of saying “I’m sorry.”

If you’re someone who wants to grow in emotional intelligence, lead with more compassion, or just be a better version of yourself, this episode is for you. We’re not aiming for perfection—just progress.

The One Big Thing is produced

On this episode of The One Big Thing, I had the honor of sitting down with General Stanley McChrystal. You may know him as one of the most respected military leaders of our time, but in our conversation, we focused less on medals and missions and more on the thing that truly defines a life: character.

We talked about what it means to be a father, a grandfather, and a human being trying to live out your values in a complicated world. Stan shares how character isn't something we inherit—it's something we choose. And we don't just choose it once—we choose it daily, especially in the hard moments when no one else is watching.

We also got into:

• Why your example matters more than your achievements
• How to hold fast to who you are—even when the world feels loud, divided, and chaotic
• What Stan learned from leading soldiers in war and grandkids in peacetime
• How his book On Character: Choices That Define a Life came to be (and why it might help you rethink your own convictions)

Whether you're a parent, a leader, or someone simply trying to do the next right thing, I think this episode will meet you right where you are. This conversation reminded me that we all have a say in the kind of person we become—and that it’s never too late to start making better choices.

🧠 Your one big thing today? Character isn’t what you say—it’s who you are when no one’s looking. And you own that.

From humble beginnings in a broken home and working in a factory with no clear direction, to launching a successful car dealership and eventually stepping into full-time ministry at the age of 43, Pacer shares how his life has been shaped not by one defining moment, but by a series of small, faithful decisions.

Together, we unpack the significance of patience, perseverance, and obedience — especially when you don’t have a plan B. We discuss how to make difficult life decisions, the role of wise counsel, and how God confirms His direction in our lives, even when the details are unclear. Pacer also opens up about his unexpected call to prison ministry and the powerful impact it’s having across 35 jails.

Whether you’re leading a business, a family, or finding your way through a season of uncertainty, this episode offers real-world wisdom, spiritual insight, and hope for those asking, “What’s next for me?”

Key Takeaways:

• Why success is often the result of doing “a lot of small things right”
• The power of patience and staying faithful through long seasons
• How to discern the difference between faith and foolishness in decision-making
• Why seeking wise, experienced voices is crucial when you’re navigating big life changes
• The beautiful story of how one church is restoring hope in prisons across the region

Today, we’re diving deep with Pastor Jeremy Graham of True Purpose Ministries to unpack one of the most misunderstood issues of our time: addiction. Jeremy shares his powerful journey from addiction to transformation, showing how healing goes far beyond behavior change—it starts from within.

We explore how unresolved trauma often fuels addiction, and why understanding that connection can be a game-changer. Addiction doesn't discriminate—it touches people of every background, whether it's drugs, alcohol, work, social media, food, or relationships. Even if you haven’t personally struggled with addiction, this episode sheds light on the universal ways we cope with pain.

Jeremy also speaks candidly about the traumatic experiences that shaped him, reminding survivors of molestation, rape, or other abuse that they are not alone—and that healing is possible.

This is more than a conversation about addiction; it’s a message of hope, empathy, and the power of transformation.

Key Takeaways:

• Addiction isn't picky; it can affect anyone, regardless of background or appearance.
• Trauma often leads to addiction, and recognizing this link is crucial for healing.
• Many people mistakenly assume addiction only affects those with visible signs or a 'typical' profile.
• The first step towards overcoming addiction is realizing that your life has become unmanageable.
• Community and support are vital; sharing your struggles can help break the cycle of addiction.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I had the opportunity to reconnect with a longtime friend, Kristen Campbell - a collegiate volleyball player turned mentor, nonprofit leader, and now founder of her own business.

Kristen opens up about the highs and lows of her journey: from feeling on top of the world in her career, to walking through the heartbreak of infertility and burnout, and ultimately taking a bold leap of faith into entrepreneurship.

Kristen shares how her unshakable faith and gift of encouragement have guided her through seasons of waiting, disappointment, and transformation. Her "One Big Thing"? Keep moving forward—no matter where you are or what you're facing.

This episode isn't about having it all figured out—it's about embracing the process, showing up with palms-up obedience, and trusting that God will either fulfill the desire in your heart or lovingly replace it with something better. Kristen’s story will resonate with anyone navigating change, wrestling with uncertainty, or seeking clarity in chaos.

Whether you're a parent, a spouse, a professional in transition, or someone sitting in a quiet moment wondering what now?—This conversation is for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Why moving forward doesn’t always mean moving fast
• How to listen for God's voice in the stillness and discomfort
• Journaling and prayer as tools for discernment and surrender
• Redefining success through seasons of waiting and transformation
• The power of community, encouragement, and spiritual alignment
