About this episode

Wes and Marcus discuss the concept of winning and identity in Christ with Chip Pugh, exploring his book on practices modeled after Jesus for a life on mission.

What does it truly mean to win? In this episode, Wes and Marcus sit down with Chip Pugh, chaplain and director of team development for the Tennessee Titans, to explore his new book, Made to Win: Six Practices of Jesus for a Life on Mission. Chip brings a unique blend of NFL chaplaincy, college coaching, and decades of disciple-making to challenge our culture's distorted scoreboard of success. Together, they unpack how identity rooted in Christ —not performance, religion, or titles — unlocks the life God designed you to live. Chip walks through his SKILLS framework: six practices modeled on Jesus' own life that help believers hear God's voice, invest in others, and share their faith naturally and authentically. If you've ever wondered whether discipleship and disciple-making is really for "regular" people, this conversation will encourage and equip you.
