In this special throwback episode of the Fearless Faith Radio Show, host Mary Grothe welcomes John Gallagher Jr.—faith-based executive coach, performance consultant, and founder of Growing Champions—for a deeply personal and powerful conversation on integrating faith into leadership.

John shares his journey from a Catholic upbringing to discovering a deeper, more intimate relationship with God, and how that transformation shaped his calling to coach leaders of leaders. This episode is more than a testimony—it’s a blueprint for living out fearless faith in the marketplace.

Together, Mary and John explore:

- The role of faith in corporate America

- How mentorship and influence shape legacy

- The uphill climb of purpose-driven leadership

- Balancing work, family, and spiritual discipline

- Why servant leadership is the highest form of impact

- Scriptural truths that guide daily decisions

- The power of intentionality, forgiveness, and legacy-building

John’s reflections are raw, real, and radically encouraging for any leader who wants to glorify God through their work. Whether you’re leading a team, building a business, or navigating your own transformation, this episode will challenge you to lead with purpose, humility, and eternal impact.

Key Quotes from John:

- “Faith without works is dead.”

- “I commit to the Lord and all that I do is for working for Him and not for human masters.”

- “Anything worth doing is uphill—and it’s a rocky hill you go up.”

- “The greatest story ever told is when your name is written on someone’s list of five people who made a positive impact on their life.”
