Raised on the courts of Tulsa, J.W. Craft grew up competing in classic childhood sports and enjoyed the camaraderie and connection. After living in some of the country’s biggest cities and building a successful career, he felt a strong pull back to his hometown—not just to work alongside his father in their family business, but to raise his kids – he has five - in a city that is near and dear to his heart. He is also very interested in investing in Tulsa’s future and has done so with brothers, Ryan and Kyle, through bold moves like acquiring FC Tulsa and Ascension St. John Sportsplex (formerly Titan Sports Complex). Through these endeavors, they are blending their passion for sports with heart for community development by creating vibrant spaces where families, fans, and future athletes can thrive. During this podcast, he discusses the missions of these organizations as well as the emotional impact FC Tulsa has made in the community that he didn't anticipate. He also shares a little about his family live and what he's doing to thrive.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re visiting with Pam Nelson—licensed Professional Counselor, mental health therapist, trauma-informed yoga therapist, and founder of Therapeutic Yoga Services. Pam’s journey took a powerful turn while working as a child therapist, when she realized that true healing for children often begins with their parents. By helping adults confront and heal their own childhood trauma, Pam empowers them to break generational cycles and raise their children with greater awareness, compassion, and peace. In this visit, Pam shares how trauma can silently shape our lives—and how healing can transform our mental health.

In this inspiring conversation, I sit down with Leslee Holliday—wife to former MLB star Matt Holliday, and mom to four incredibly talented children, including pro baseball player Jackson Holliday.

Leslee is unwavering in her love for Jesus, and she shares how faith, family, and health are deeply intertwined in her life. We talk about raising kids in their God-given gifts, the power of living a Christ-centered life, and why spiritual, mental, and physical well-being are all essential to making a lasting impact.

Her non-negotiable questions in patterning a life after Christ:
How Can I See people clearly?
How Can I Know people deeply?
How Can I Love people well?

This episode is full of wisdom, grace, and reminders of what really matters.
