Improving Conversation Skills & Navigating Career Transitions
Welcome to this uplifting session from the Sure Connexions Woodstock Live Studio, recorded on Good Friday, April 3, 2026. In this episode, we take a intentional midday break to gain fresh insight and a divine perspective on transitioning through major life stages, from college sports to the professional marketplace. About This Video Host Wayne and co-host Preston Moore are joined by former Division 1 college basketball player Trae Benham. Trae shares his inspiring testimony of playing basketball for Lipscomb University and High Point University, where he and his teammates made a historic run to the NCAA March Madness tournament under Coach Huss. The conversation focuses on the profound shift from the highly structured world of collegiate athletics to the daily rhythms of "adulting," navigating a professional career in point of sale credit card transaction transactions, and building a foundation in a young marriage after marrying his wife, Bailey, in June 2025. Key Themes & Takeaways The Analogy of Sacrifice: How the athletic discipline of crucifying the ego for the betterment of the team directly translates to serving your spouse and colleagues daily, drawing from Galatians 2:20 and Ephesians 2:21. Shifting Your Identity: Moving away from defining yourself by what you do (such as sports or business achievements) and instead anchoring your identity securely in Jesus Christ. Navigating Marketplace Challenges: Embracing the daily disciplines of prayer, scripture reading, and open communication to find harmony when work schedules and career changes present challenges. Divine Perspectives on Teamwork: Inspiring commentary from co-host Preston Moore and marketplace leaders David Schuler and Tom Coughlin on how God refines us through community.
March Madness to Marriage & Adulting
Welcome to another powerful session of Sure Connexions Live! In this episode, broadcasted from our Woodstock, Georgia studio, we dive deep into the theme of March Madness—not just as a basketball tournament, but as a spiritual metaphor for the discipline, training, and conditioning required in our daily lives. This week, we are joined by special guest Dorian Shockey, owner of CrossFit Resurgence, to discuss how physical fitness principles directly intertwine with our spiritual well-being. From mastering discipline to managing daily distractions, Dorian shares his profound testimony of stepping away from the "corporate quota life" to follow God’s true entrepreneurial calling. We also hear an impactful video testimony from Chase Johnson (High Point University Basketball), read from 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, and open the floor to introductions and community Q&As from our members here in the studio and overseas. ⏱️ Video Timestamps 0:00 – Welcome to Sure Connexions Live (Woodstock, GA) 1:10 – Meet John Swafford & Community Updates (Nashville, TN) 2:15 – Testimony: Chase Johnson (High Point University Basketball) 5:00 – Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (Running the Race) 9:18 – Featured Interview: Dorian Shockey (CrossFit Resurgence) 11:18 – Dorian's Testimony & His Leap of Faith into Entrepreneurship 17:10 – Conditioning the Soul: Overcoming Distractions & Prioritizing Prayer 20:00 – Studio & Online Introductions (Meet the Community!) 23:33 – Special Spotlight: Riley & Theresa from Germany (Faith in Business) 27:44 – The Importance of Humility & Philippians 2:3-4 30:17 – Closing Gospel Message, Reflection, & Closing Prayer (Romans 10:9-10) 🔗 Connect With Us & Our Guests Website: sureconnexions.org Email Us: sureconnexions@gmail.com 📱 Follow Us on Social Media: Instagram: @sureconnexionsga Facebook: /sureconnexionsga LinkedIn: Sure Connexions
