Summary
In this podcast, my friend Blake Prime shares how the 16-year business he built eventually became an idol that pulled him away from God, his wife, and his kids. From the outside, everything looked successful — a thriving fitness company, influence in the church, and a strong social media presence.
But behind the scenes, Blake felt like a fraud. Everything changed during a mission trip to Honduras when he felt God clearly tell him to walk away from the business he had built for over a decade. Ironically, Blake first came to Steve Weatherford's Launchpad event just to see if Steve was legit — and to learn his system so he could use it himself. Instead, God used that moment to completely transform his life. In this conversation, Blake and Steve talk about success becoming an idol, the hidden struggles many men carry, and how humility, brotherhood, and surrender can lead to true freedom and restored families.

| 1:25.6 | I was saved and gave my life to Christ in 2009. Prior to that, I grew up in an amazing home. I, you know, I had pretty much everything I wanted, but everything I wanted was about me, right? I was as selfish as they come, just full of pride. And in 2009, you know, after my wife and I had been married for a few years, she got pregnant. |
