Is your independence actually your biggest weakness? In football, a player left on an "island" is a liability. In life, a man who isolates himself is dangerous—to himself and everyone around him.In this episode of the Deep Spirituality Podcast, we sit down with Jeremy Ross (Former Cal & NFL Receiver) and BJ Jones (Cal Football Linebacker) to decode the "internal game" of elite athletes. We move beyond the clichés of "grinding" to explore how the high-pressure crucible of sports accelerates character growth and why you cannot win the battles of life without a team.If you are tired of fighting your battles alone or struggling to maintain focus when things get hard, this conversation provides lessons on resilience and building internal strength that lasts.About Our Guests:Jeremy Ross: Former Cal and NFL receiver (Packers, Lions, Patriots) who now mentors athletes on faith, resilience, and identity through '7 Mind and Body.'BJ Jones: Bishop O'Dowd alum and Cal Linebacker who champions neurodiversity and empowers athletes through inclusive E-Football programs.Check out Jeremy's website! → 7mindandbody.comScriptures:1 Corinthians 9:24-27 NASB1 Timothy 4:8 NIVMatthew 7:24-27 TLB► SUBSCRIBE: https://youtube.com/deepspirituality/?sub_confirmation=1Chapters:00:00 - Introduction01:55 - Run with purpose04:00 - How you got started in sports10:02 - The importance of playing outside13:47 - How physical training reveals your heart18:10 - Building culture in family and football22:57 - How sports can help young people build character29:04 - Sports builds friendships44:24 - What churches can learn from sports53:25 - Managing ADHD01:00:30 - 7 Mind and Body
In this episode of Deep Spirituality, Russ Ewell chats with Matt McChlery about why picking up a book is actually a "rebellion" for your soul in a world of endless scrolling. After interviewing nearly 100 authors, Matt has seen firsthand how the power of story helps us connect with God far better than a dry lecture ever could.They get real about authenticity, sharing that we need to drop the "perfect Christian" mask and be honest about our messy journeys. Matt even opens up about his own battle with cancer, explaining that when we share our "storms," it creates "light through the cracks" for everyone else. To wrap things up, they talk about the magic of music—how it gets into the gaps of our hearts to take us straight to God—and why every community should celebrate its own unique "sound".Check out Matt! → https://www.mattmcchlery.com/Matt's podcast, Christian Book Blurb → https://open.spotify.com/show/32gv1Rl6HFBneRMygfjzM2Matt's books → https://www.amazon.com/stores/Matt-McChlery/author/B09L4YQGCLScriptures:2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV2 Corinthians 1:8-9 NIVPhilippians 1:30 NLT1 Corinthians 12:13 TLBJohn 13:35 BSBJohn 17:23 NLT1 John 5:2 TPT► SUBSCRIBE: https://youtube.com/deepspirituality/?sub_confirmation=1Chapters:00:00 - Meet Matt McChlery02:30 - The power of pages08:11 - The power of story when we read16:24 - Promo: Why we're talking more about AI than God17:32 - Insights from 98 Christian author interviews22:39 - Struggle is normal, ditch the perfect performance30:46 - Why we should journey together in faith37:43 - Promo: The Kingdom of Change38:54 - Why music is part of our spiritual journey42:33 - What every worship leader should know50:12 - Find and follow Matt McChlery

The greatest battle of our age is spiritual. Long before Silicon Valley and algorithms, Jesus warned us that our way of seeing determines our way of being. But today, our "lamp is our screen," and the algorithms behind it are engineered to disciple us, shaping our reactions, emotions, and identity.In this profound conversation, Russ Ewell and Zach Leighton (Reliant Media Group) dive deep into the spiritual crisis of the digital age.
