From Bible studies on campus to sharing his testimony before hundreds of college students, Juice lives what he preaches: true success is about honoring a higher calling.He talks about believing in what we can’t see, that’s the kind of faith that fuels action when the odds are against us. It's about turning everyday moments into opportunities to lead with love, humility, and purpose.And here’s the truth: the greatest wins happen in those quiet places, in the valleys, in the distractions, in the setbacks — that’s where God shows up most powerfully. Juice’s story reminds us that life’s true victory is rooted in our relationship with Him, not just the trophies we chase.Maybe that’s the point. Worth thinking about.Listen to the full conversation: Samacho.com‍
