Wake Up Jesus People: How Faith, Discipline, and Morning Habits Transform Leaders with Jason Heinritz

What if the problem isn’t your discipline, motivation, or leadership skills but what you’re building your life on? In this powerful conversation, Bobby sits down with Jason Heinritz, founder of the Wake Up Jesus People movement, to explore the spiritual and physical foundations of true self-leadership. Jason shares his personal journey from chasing titles, money, and success to surrender, peace, and purpose. Together, they unpack why so many high-performing leaders still feel empty, anxious, or burned out and how faith-anchored habits, morning routines, and community can completely transform your life. This episode is for: • Leaders who feel successful on paper but restless inside • Men struggling with identity, purpose, or burnout • Christians who feel stuck in “Sunday-only faith” • Anyone searching for peace, discipline, and meaning in daily life In this episode, we cover: • Why most people are participating in faith, not committing to it • The danger of tying your worth to titles, income, and performance • How a “Sacred Start” can change your entire day • Why discipline without faith eventually fails • The biblical meaning of 40-day transformation • How community accelerates growth and healing • Why surrender often leads to greater success, not less Jason also breaks down the 40 Forge Challenge, a faith-based framework combining prayer, Scripture, exercise, discipline, and identity work designed to help people experience real transformation in just 40 days. This is not a sermon. This is a wake-up call. If you’re ready to lead yourself better so you can lead others well, this episode is for you.
