What does your family learn about Jesus by watching you?

In this episode of The FORGE Truth Podcast, host Pete Alwinson and producer Zach Swee welcome Scott Basham, a FORGE team leader, longtime Bible teacher, and author of Defining Christianity. Drawing on 45 years of marriage and decades of teaching Scripture, Scott shares practical ways to become a man whose faith shapes his everyday relationships.

Together, they explore how to pursue holiness without giving up when you fail, stop comparing yourself to other men, and put the love described in 1 Corinthians 13 into practice. Scott offers a simple question for navigating marital conflict, an approach to helping children become problem solvers, and a memorable way to remember God’s faithfulness when He seems silent.

They also discuss receiving correction, addressing weaknesses through Scripture, and turning good intentions into action through a daily appointment with God and dependence on the Holy Spirit.

If you want to grow as a husband, father, and follower of Jesus, this conversation will give you specific places to start.

Is college still the best path to a successful career? And how can dads help their kids prepare for a working world shaped by artificial intelligence?

Former Navy SEAL Anthony Rivera returns to The FORGE Truth Podcast to join host Pete Alwinson and producer Zach for a conversation about skilled trades, career choices, and the God given value of work.

Anthony shares how he is helping his own teenagers explore opportunities in electrical work, welding, HVAC, and other trades. They discuss mentorship, business ownership, when college makes sense, and why working with your hands deserves respect.

The conversation also goes deeper than a paycheck. What makes work satisfying? How do we escape the endless pursuit of more? And how can our work provide for our families, serve others, and leave something meaningful behind?

Whether you are guiding a teenager or reconsidering your own career, this episode challenges you to think intentionally about work, purpose, and the future.

What does it look like to pursue excellence in sales without compromising your faith?

On this episode of The FORGE Truth Podcast, Pete Alwinson sits down with his son, Jon Alwinson, author of Relentless Sales, to talk about faith, work, identity, and the principles behind Jon’s sales training course, The Hunt.

Jon explains why success in sales requires more than personality and motivation. It requires structure, strategy, discipline, and a genuine desire to serve the customer. He shares practical ideas for organizing a territory, identifying the best opportunities, creating an attack list, simplifying the sales conversation, and focusing on what actually matters to the person sitting across from you.

Pete and Jon also explore the difference between authentic service and manipulation, why Christians should work from their identity in Christ rather than for their identity, and how faith changes the way a man approaches his career. Whether you work in sales, business, ministry, or another field entirely, the principles in this conversation apply to anyone who wants to work with purpose, integrity, and excellence.

Ultimately, the challenge is bigger than selling. God has called men to work, lead, provide, serve, and represent Christ wherever He has placed them. Whatever your field, get on the hunt for the glory of God and the good of others.
