About this episode

Chauncey Franks shares his journey of faith and leadership from youth pastoring to impacting TCU.

In Part 1, Chauncey opens up about: Growing up a pastor’s kid in Texas Drifting far from his faith during college The night God stopped him in his tracks inside a nightclub How his future wife played a pivotal role in bringing him back to church His calling into ministry And how God led him from youth pastoring to FCA at SMU and eventually TCU This is a story of identity, purpose, surrender, and redemption. It’s the kind of story that reminds us that leadership isn’t about titles or positions — it’s about obedience, transformation, and allowing God to shape our steps. This first episode sets the foundation for a deeper conversation in Part 2, where we’ll explore identity, doubt, pressure, prayer, and leadership. But first — let’s step into the backstory of a man whose life is making a massive impact at TCU and far beyond. Here is Part 1 with Chauncey Franks.
