The Life You’re Chasing Will Never Be Enough - Steve Weatherford, Joby Martin & Denny Thompson

<p>Pastor Joby Martin and Denny Thompson sit down with Super Bowl champion and former NFL punter Steve Weatherford on this week's episode of Built 4 More.</p><p>Steve spent ten years in the NFL, won a Super Bowl, made the cover of Men's Health, and became known as the fittest man in professional football. From the outside, he had everything. On the inside, he was addicted to pain pills, trapped in pornography, and standing at a window at two in the morning after the biggest win of his life wondering why he felt nothing at all.</p><p><br></p><p>Steve shares the story he rarely tells. Being cut in a locker room at twenty five years old and having to ask the groundskeeper for a ride. Hearing a street preacher through a hotel window seventeen floors up saying the exact words he needed. Being abused as a child by a Christian teacher and spending the next twenty four years trying to prove he was enough. And the night in a circus tent in the desert when everything finally broke open.</p><p><br></p><p>Joby, Denny, and Steve talk about identity, addiction, the lie that achievement will finally fill the hole, confession and healing in marriage, why encouragement makes you a leader, and what it actually looks like to be transformed instead of just informed.</p><p><br></p><p>If you have ever chased something believing it would finally make you enough, this conversation is for you.</p><p><br></p><p>👍 If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and turn on notifications so you never miss a new episode of Built 4 More.</p><p><br></p><p>🎙️ Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/built-4-more/id1797411058</p><p><br></p><p>🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/00qd9DnMZJCGPUQbcNJmH1?si=d683e01fdefb4329</p><p><br></p><p>FOLLOW BUILT 4 MORE:</p><p><br></p><p>🌐 Website: https://built4morepod.com (https://built4morepod.com/)</p><p><br></p><p>📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/built4morepod/</p><p><br></p><p>👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/built4morepod</p><p><br></p><p>🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@built4morepod</p><p><br></p><p>🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@built4morepod</p><p><br></p><p>Chapters:</p><p>00:00 – Meet Steve Weatherford</p><p>01:20 – Cut in the Locker Room</p><p>04:50 – The Street Preacher Outside the Window</p><p>07:10 – Jacksonville and the Jeep on Beach Boulevard</p><p>12:50 – Ten Years in the NFL as an Undrafted Free Agent</p><p>13:10 – "Winning the Super Bowl Was the Most Depressing Night of My Life"</p><p>15:15 – The Goals He Wrote Down at Fourteen</p><p>15:20 – The Abuse That Made Him Question If God Was Real</p><p>16:35 – The Night He Won It All and Felt Nothing</p><p>17:25 – The Greyhound and the Fake Rabbit</p><p>22:30 – Pills, Porn, and the Life Nobody Saw</p><p>24:20 – Leaving His Wife and Kids</p><p>25:05 – Walking Into Church for the First Time in Twenty Years</p><p>28:00 – The Burden Board</p><p>29:10 – The Man Who Led Him to Christ at Eleven</p><p>32:25 – His Son Gives His Life to Jesus</p><p>36:00 – The Deceitfulness of Sin</p><p>41:30 – From Competition to Completion</p><p>48:40 – Working For Victory vs From Victory</p><p>55:35 – Fighting the Devil in the Dark</p><p>57:45 – Confession, Marriage, and Healing</p><p>1:02:00 – Why Discipline Could Not Save Him</p><p>1:05:20 – Identity Comes First</p><p>1:13:30 – The Game Film in Heaven</p><p>1:26:35 – What Surprises Him Now</p><p>1:32:45 – Change Your Inputs</p><p>1:40:30 – Get in the Dust of the Right Men</p><p>1:44:40 – "I Got This" Is the Most Dangerous Thing a Man Can Say</p><p><br></p><p>#Built4More #SteveWeatherford #ChristianPodcast #Faith #Identity #Purpose #Addiction #Testimony #NFL</p>
