What if the people standing closest to us are actually shaping the trajectory of our faith without us even realizing it? That is exactly the kind of question this episode invites us to sit with. Drawing from the life of Tommy Edman, we see how a young man who grew up in the church but drifted into a double-minded faith was transformed not through a dramatic moment, but through proximity to men who lived what they believed. Hebrews 13:7 calls us to remember those who have spoken God's word over us and to consider the outcome of their way of life. The challenge is not just to admire strong believers from a distance, but to let their example do real work in us. For Edman, watching teammates like Adam Wainwright and Paul Goldschmidt up close was the catalyst that moved him from a faith with one eye on the world to one rooted in daily prayer and Scripture. The spiritual lesson here is both simple and profound: who we surround ourselves with is not a neutral decision. It is a faith decision. As we navigate our own seasons of transition and growth, this episode reminds us that the inner circle we cultivate can either pull us deeper into who God is calling us to be or quietly pull us away.
