What if the biggest lie athletes and entrepreneurs believe is that your value comes from your performance? In Episode 25 of the Athlete Disciples Podcast, Christian Honer sits down with mentor, entrepreneur, physical therapist, husband, father of eight, and Family Dynasty co-founder Mat Dewing for one of the deepest conversations we've had on the podcast. Mat shares decades of wisdom on faith, family, entrepreneurship, identity, leadership, marriage, and what it truly means to build a life that honors God. If you've ever struggled with performance-based identity, building a business while leading your family, or wondering what legacy actually looks like, this conversation is for you. In this episode: 🏀 Life after college athletics and identity beyond sports ❤️ Why your worth is never based on performance 👨👩👧👦 Building a multi-generational family vision 💼 Entrepreneurship through a biblical lens 🙏 Trusting God through seasons of risk 💰 Wealth, stewardship, generosity, and legacy 💍 33 years of marriage and lessons every husband needs 👶 Raising children who love the Lord 📖 Romans 12:9-13 Bible study and practical application 🔥 Why "outdo one another in showing honor" can change every relationship One of my favorite quotes from Matt: "I am a beloved child of the Father. I don't perform for approval—I perform out of gratitude." That truth alone has the power to free athletes, entrepreneurs, parents, and leaders from the constant pressure to prove themselves. This conversation reminded me that success isn't measured by followers, money, championships, or business growth. It's measured by faithfulness. By honoring others. By loving your family well. By walking closely with Jesus. If this episode encouraged you, share it with another athlete, parent, entrepreneur, coach, or friend who needs this reminder today.

Scripture Romans 12:9-13 "Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor." May we become people who compete to honor others more than ourselves. That's the Kingdom. That's discipleship. And that's the life Jesus modeled for us.
