Change is never easy, but God often uses seasons of transition to prepare us for something greater.

In this special episode of Beyond the Huddle, host Josh Adair honors co-founder Zach Rose as he transitions into a new ministry role as a sports pastor in Oklahoma. Zach's vision for the podcast has impacted countless athletes, coaches, and families by creating a space where authentic stories reveal how God works through both victories and struggles.

Joining Josh are new co-hosts Rick Moppen and Kason Merton, who will help continue the mission of sharing powerful stories from across Central Arkansas FCA. Together, they discuss why storytelling matters, how adversity strengthens faith, and what it means to live authentically for Christ in every season.

The conversation takes a deeply personal turn as each host opens up about emotional health, trauma, repentance, counseling, marriage, grief, community, and the importance of being teachable. They explore how God often uses pain—not to defeat us—but to draw us into a deeper relationship with Him.

Whether you're an athlete, coach, parent, ministry leader, or simply walking through a difficult season, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to carry your burdens alone. God designed us for community, and true freedom begins when we honestly bring our struggles into the light.
