Gabe Cupps on LeBron James, Bronny, Faith, Leadership, Injury Recovery & College Basketball

We need to talk about praying for our kids, not occasionally, but constantly. School. Home. The car. Even when they're sleeping. Because there's a real spiritual battle happening around them. And if we're honest, a lot of us are tired and scared. But here's what changed everything for me: Deuteronomy says Yahweh is the Elohim of Elohim, the God over every spiritual force. That means the battle isn't close. It's already won. So I stopped praying like a beggar and started praying like a son. I still fight , but from victory, not for it. And that freedom lets me steward what God gave me. My kids. My work. My time. I work like I'm working for Him, not for people. If you've been feeling heavy about your family or your purpose, this video is for you. You'll leave encouraged and challenged to get on your knees again. Watch until the end, I pray over us at the end.. 🎧 Listen while you drive or workout

Davion Taylor’s path to the NFL is unlike any football story you’ve heard before. Raised in Mississippi as a Commandment Keeper, Davion could not play Friday night high school football because of his faith. With no traditional exposure, he fought for an opportunity at junior college, earning a roster spot after competing against more than 150 athletes. That opportunity changed everything. Davion went on to earn a scholarship to the University of Colorado, became second-team All-Pac-12, ran a 4.3-second 40-yard dash, and was eventually drafted in the third round by the Philadelphia Eagles. But behind the success came adversity. In this episode, DT opens up about battling injuries, depression, isolation, and the emotional challenges that came with life in the NFL. Through every setback, his faith and family helped him keep perspective and continue moving forward. Now working with top NFL prospects at D1 Sports in Nashville, Davion is focused on helping athletes grow both on and off the field while staying ready for whatever comes next in his own journey. This conversation is about resilience, faith, purpose, and trusting God through every season of life.

George Fant’s path to the NFL is anything but conventional. Before becoming an 11-year veteran, he was a four-year basketball starter at Western Kentucky Hilltoppers with opportunities to play professionally overseas. Instead, he made a bold, faith-driven decision to walk away from basketball and pursue football, despite never playing the sport in college. In this episode, George Fant joins Sam Acho and Cliff Marshall to share how he navigated that transition, from mental burnout late in college to completely transforming his body and learning the offensive line from scratch. He reflects on going undrafted but still receiving interest from all 32 NFL teams, ultimately signing with the Seattle Seahawks and carving out his place in the league. George also opens up about adversity, including a knee injury during his time with the New York Jets, and the resilience it took to return and start again with the Houston Texans, reaching the playoffs. Beyond football, he discusses faith, family, financial discipline, and his plans for life after the game, including commercial real estate and becoming an agent. This conversation is a powerful look at risk, reinvention, and trusting the process when the path ahead is not guaranteed.

Not every NFL story starts with hype. Max Pulley started with no scholarship and no guarantees. He walked on at Western Kentucky, transferred to Wofford, and worked his way into a First-Team All-American. No shortcuts, just showing up every day, even when it meant long drives just to train. Ran a 4.4. Jumped 41.5”. Met with NFL teams. But what stood out most wasn’t just the numbers—it’s the consistency, the discipline, and the faith behind it all. Recorded just days before the 2026 NFL Draft. If you’re chasing something big, this is the part people don’t see.

Sam Acho sits down with strength coach Clif Marshall to talk about training NFL draft prospects, the discipline behind elite performance, and his return to hands-on coaching at D1 Training. They also reflect on the role of faith, family, and purpose, including a personal moment as Sam shares about baptizing his son, making this a conversation that goes beyond football and into living with intention.
