What happens when a “conservative Bible college kid” becomes a Spirit-filled father-hearted leader… after walking through heartbreak, foster care adoption, trauma, near-death burnout, and a personal encounter with Jesus?

In this episode of Greater Formation & Power, Coach Tom sits down with Devin Schubert (aka “the man in orange”) for a raw, hope-filled conversation about:

· Devin’s journey from Midwestern Christian roots and rebellion → to ministry and a deeper “yes” to God

· 15 years in child welfare, building foster-care support through local churches, and what the Church often misses about caring for families in crisis

· Parenting through severe trauma and mental health challenges — and how chronic stress nearly took his life

· A powerful encounter with Jesus… and why Devin’s healing came through a process, not just an instant moment

· The maturity shift: don’t chase signs and wonders — chase the Father

· What to do when God feels silent: learning to “find Him in everything,” not just listen for a voice

· Why naming your struggle isn’t “negative confession” — it’s often the first step to surrender and freedom

· Devin’s burden: releasing the Father’s love in a way that brings healing, deliverance, and deep safety

· A Nehemiah-style framework for calling: fasting/praying for the plan, then bringing it to the King for favor and protection

· Devin’s mission: helping a million people share their stories across media — because your story is part of your purpose

Devin closes by praying a tender, powerful prayer for healing — especially for those carrying pain connected to fathers or father-figures. Don’t rush off at the end. Sit with it. Receive.

Have you ever considered that some of the beliefs shaping your life… aren’t actually true?

Most of us didn’t choose “lies” on purpose. They formed slowly—through words spoken over us, painful experiences, and moments when we were just trying to make sense of life. But those beliefs don’t just affect how we think… they shape how we live.

In this podcast, I’ll help you:

Recognize the lies you may be believing about yourself, God, others, and life

See two primary ways lies get exposed (God’s revelation + people’s truth)

Learn a simple pathway to overturn them: humility, teachability, God’s perspective, honest friendships, and wise mentors

Because the good news is real: the lies you learned can be unlearned.
Fruitfulness follows clarity—and clarity begins when truth replaces false agreements.

Reflection questions:

What false perspective is God addressing in you right now?

What are you doing to respond to it?

Who have you invited to speak truth into your life?

What might God be surfacing “under the surface” that needs action?
