What would happen if we dared to pray prayers so big that only God could get the credit? In this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve challenges listeners to move beyond safe, routine prayers and step into bold, faith-filled conversations with God. He shares a deeply personal story about praying for a generational legacy of faith—and witnessing God answer that prayer through his own family years later. The show also reflects on the powerful testimony of basketball legend Pistol Pete Maravich, explores how to grow deeper intimacy with God through Scripture, and features a thoughtful conversation with pastor and author Joe Manning on Bible reading, church growth, and strengthening our faith in the new year. Faith, fun, and practical encouragement come together in this unique episode.

In this Fun Friday episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve reflects on a powerful moment from ESPN’s Rece Davis, who boldly shared that his identity isn’t in what he does—but in who he serves. Steve highlights the importance of living out our faith with consistency, confidence, and Christ-centered identity, no matter the platform. With a little humor (including a bitten tongue from last week's episode) and a lot of encouragement, this episode reminds us to speak truth, live boldly, and never forget who we truly are in Jesus.
