Bryce interviews current Wichita State men's basketball coach Paul Mills. They unpack Coach Mills' second season with the Shockers, handling pressure as a basketball coach, the state of college basketball, the importance of reading Scripture, and how to steward our calling.

Mills spent 14 years as a Baylor assistant under Scott Drew, and then took his first head coaching job at Oral Roberts, turning the Golden Eagles from Summit League bottom-dwellers to undefeated champions over a six-year span (2017-23) with NCAA tournament bids in two of the last three years.

In 2021, Mills became the second coach to guide a No. 15 seed to Sweet 16, upsetting Ohio State and Florida in the first two rounds before losing a heartbreaker to Arkansas in the South Regional Semifinal.

He is a husband and father of two daughters and received his Master’s Degree from Dallas Theological Seminary in 2020.

In this special episode, Bryce Johnson interviews Coach Joe Kennedy, whose movie, Average Joe, was recently released and inspired by his real life.

Coach Joe Kennedy, an eighteen-year Marine veteran, was an assistant coach for the Bremerton High School (BHS) varsity football team. Before he even coached his first game, the Marine-turned-football coach committed to God that he would give thanks after each game for what the players had accomplished and the opportunity to be part of their lives through football. This was met with disapproval from his school district and became a lengthy court battle.

On June 27, 2022, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Coach Kennedy and his First Amendment right. On March 8, 2023, Coach Kennedy was officially reinstated as an assistant coach and returned to the field for one game on September 1, 2023, before resigning. Joe and his wife, Denise, are parents of four children and reside in Pensacola. His memoir, Average Joe, is available wherever books are sold, and he currently speaks across the country, promoting freedom of speech.
