Episode 101: How Jiu-Jitsu Changes People

While Micah was out of town, Kyle Sheldon stepped in for Episode 101 of The Daily Carry Podcast. Kyle joined Jared for a wide-ranging conversation exploring the lessons learned both on and off the mats. Following Jared's recent appearance on the Colorado Gym Owner Series with the Egghead Scramble Podcast, hosted by Colorado Wolverines PGF Team owner David Segraves, the discussion begins with the growth and impact of the PGF and the exciting development of the Colorado Wolverines. Jared and Kyle then discuss their experiences in Jiu-Jitsu, sharing personal insights on dealing with injuries, the mental and physical challenges of recovery, and the perseverance required to overcome setbacks and keep moving forward. Along the way, they draw meaningful parallels between Jiu-Jitsu and the Christian faith, discussing humility, discipline, endurance, and how growth often comes through struggle. Whether you're a grappler, an athlete, or simply navigating life's challenges, this conversation offers encouragement and practical wisdom for the journey. The episode concludes with prayer, reminding listeners to trust God through every season, whether in victory, adversity, or the process of becoming who He has called them to be. "Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope." - Romans 5:3–4 (ESV)
