The Raw Report

Strong people are usually the ones everybody calls when life gets heavy—but who do they call when they’re the ones struggling?In this episode of The RAW Report, Coach Wiggins has a real conversation about the loneliness, pressure and silent battles many dependable people—especially men—carry behind the words, “I’m good.” A person can be surrounded by family, friends, coworkers and church members yet still feel like nobody truly knows what they’re going through.We’ll examine why men often suffer silently, how strength can become a mask, and why being needed isn’t the same as being known. We’ll also discuss the difference between privacy and isolation, why faith doesn’t require pretending everything is okay, and how we can check on the strong people in our lives more intentionally.You can be grateful and still be tired. You can have faith and still need help. You can be strong and still struggle.

Faith was never meant to be something we turn on Sunday morning, during a crisis, or whenever life becomes too heavy to handle alone. Following Christ means allowing Him into every area of our lives—365 days a year. In this episode of The RAW Report, Coach Wiggins sits down with Krystal A. Livingston, Founder and Director of Christ 365: Kingdom Wellness Coaching & Services, for a real conversation about what whole-person wellness looks like from a Kingdom perspective. Krystal explains why spiritual health cannot be separated from our physical, emotional, relational, vocational, financial, environmental, and cultural well-being. Together, they explore what happens when believers stop treating Christ like an emergency contact and begin making Him the center of how they live every day. Because God does not only want the Sunday version of you. He wants access to your whole life.

You already know what needs to change.You know the conversation you need to have. The habit you need to break. The decision you need to make. The work you need to start.So why aren’t you doing it?In this episode, Coach Wiggins talks about the gap between knowing and doing and why more information usually isn’t the answer. Sometimes the real issue is fear. Sometimes it’s comfort. Sometimes it’s procrastination, self-doubt, or the fact that taking action would force us to become accountable for what happens next.We’ll dig into what may really be stopping you, why clarity without action can become another hiding place, and how to start moving even when you don’t feel completely ready.Because at some point, the question isn’t “What should I do?”It’s “What am I going to do with what I already know?”“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” — James 4:17 KJV If you’ve been stuck between knowing better and actually doing better, this episode is for you.

What happens when you know something isn’t right—but move forward anyway?Coach Wiggins sits down with Coach Pastor Charlotte Ford, author of A Second Chance at Life, for an honest conversation about relationships, discernment, healing, and what life looks like beyond the breakthrough.Charlotte opens the episode with a powerful confession: “I knew that man wasn’t my husband.” From there, she shares the lessons she learned from ignoring what she already sensed inside, treating people like projects, and believing she could help someone become who she hoped they would be.This conversation challenges us to ask a difficult question: Why do we go against what we know—especially when God may already be showing us the truth?Sometimes the warning isn’t unclear. We simply don’t want to accept what it means.“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” — Proverbs 4:23

Nobody Is Coming to Save YouAt some point, you have to stop waiting.Waiting for somebody to recognize your potential.Waiting for the right opportunity.Waiting for support.Waiting for permission.Waiting for somebody to come fix what isn’t working.Nobody is coming to save you.And that’s not bad news. That’s a wake-up call.In this episode of The RAW Report, we talk about what happens when you finally take responsibility for building the life, family, business, faith, and future you say you want.You may not have everything you need yet. You may not know every step. You may have opposition, setbacks, limited resources, and people who don’t understand what you’re trying to build.Build anyway.Nehemiah saw what was broken, felt the burden, prayed, made a plan, and then got to work.“Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.” Nehemiah 2:17God gave Nehemiah the assignment, but Nehemiah still had to organize the people, face the opposition, pick up the tools, and build the wall.That’s the message.Stop waiting for somebody else to build what God put in your heart.Pray.Plan.Pick up your tools.You gotta build it.

She was raised in America, earned straight A’s, served her community, and believed her future was wide open.Then, while preparing for college, a guidance counselor told her something that changed everything:“Your future is illegal.”That was the moment she discovered she was undocumented.In this powerful conversation, Coach Wiggins sits down with Tsion Michael who shares what it was like to grow up believing she belonged, only to have her identity, opportunities, and future questioned by a status she did not even know she had.We unpack the idea of a rented identity—what happens when your sense of worth, belonging, and possibility is controlled by labels, systems, circumstances, or other people’s definitions of you.Her story is not only about immigration. It is about what happens when the world tells you that your accomplishments do not matter, your belonging is conditional, and your future has already been decided.This episode explores how she moved beyond the identity placed on her and learned to own her story, her value, and the person she was created to become.Because a document may describe your legal status, but it does not have the authority to define your identity.

Why do some men feel like following God makes them weak, soft, passive, or less masculine?In this episode of The RAW Report, Coach Wiggins breaks down the false idea that faith takes away a man’s strength. The real problem is not faith—it is a broken definition of manhood built on pride, control, performance, and the need to prove something.God never called men to shrink. He called men to stand firm, lead with courage, walk in discipline, serve with humility, and surrender their ego without surrendering their identity.This conversation challenges men to examine who defined their masculinity, why submission to God feels threatening, and whether they have confused meekness with weakness.Faith does not emasculate a man. It teaches him how to use his strength with purpose.

Most people think complexity is a sign of depth. It's not. It's a sign you're running from something. In this episode, Coach Wiggins sits down with Dr. Crystal Pirtle to break down why simplicity is the most overlooked form of power — and why overcomplicating your faith, your goals, and your relationships is costing you more than you realize. We go deep into: The spiritual power of doing less — not more How simplicity creates clarity, and clarity creates action What the Bible actually says about a simple, focused life Stop overthinking. Start moving.📌 Subscribe for more raw conversations on faith, focus, and rebuilding your identity: @therealrawreport #PowerOfSimplicity #FaithOverComplexity #TheRawReport #SimplicityIsPower #spiritualdiscipline Website: https://simplicityforyourlife.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SimplicityForYourLife Instagram: @iamdrcrisp

Stop worrying about what people see. Start worrying about who you are when nobody's watching.Your image is what you project. Your character is what God sees in the dark. And too many men are building the wrong one.Nah bro — we ain't doing that here.This message hits on the real difference between image and character. Not surface-level motivation. Not "just be a good person." This is about the man you are when the camera's off, the audience is gone, and nobody's clapping.Because here's the truth: your reputation is what people think you are. Your character is who you actually are. And God isn't impressed by your filter.If you're tired of performing and ready to build something real — this one's for you.

In this powerful episode, Coach Wiggins sits down with a special guest Marine Coach Bell to talk about one of the most overlooked wounds in our culture: the dad deficit and the fate of the fatherless.We unpack what happens when fathers are absent physically, emotionally, spiritually, or mentally — and how that absence shapes identity, confidence, discipline, relationships, anger, purpose, and a young person’s view of God.This conversation is not about blaming fathers. It is about telling the truth, identifying the wound, and helping men, women, and young people understand that being fatherless does not mean being futureless.We discuss the weight many carry in silence, the patterns that get passed down, and the healing that becomes possible when someone finally has the courage to face what shaped them.Whether you grew up without a father, had a father present but emotionally unavailable, or you are trying to become the father you never had, this episode is for you.“The fatherless are not forgotten.” — Psalm 68:5https://fathergoood.fillout.com/assessmenthttps://www.fathergoood.org

Men are done with the church. They say it failed them. But what if the real problem isn't the church — it's the man?In this episode, Coach Wiggins breaks down the hard truth nobody is saying: God never designed the church to save you. He designed YOU to build it. And until men develop the discipline, accountability, and character to govern themselves, they have nothing to bring to anything.This is the Raw perspective on biblical masculinity, spiritual leadership, and what it actually means to be a man of God in a generation that wants to be served instead of sent.📌 Topics covered:- Why men blame the church instead of looking in the mirror- What God actually requires of a man (Ephesians 4)- Biblical manhood vs. the victim mindset- How Christian masculinity is built through discipline — not attendance- The question every man needs to answer: what did YOU bring?If you're serious about becoming who God called you to be, this one is for you.📲 Follow @RawPerspectiveOG on Instagram#BiblicalMasculinity #ChristianMen #BiblicalManhood #SpiritualLeadership #ChristianMasculinity #ManOfGod #RawDevelopment #ChurchAndMen #GodlyMan #Faith

Most men treat a financial crisis like a curse. They panic. They retreat. They start making decisions from fear instead of faith and finances.In Part 3 of Broke Is a Behavior, Coach Wiggins flips the script — what if the crisis isn't trying to break you, it's trying to build you? This is biblical money principles applied to real-life pressure. Not prosperity gospel. Not "just have more faith." Raw truth about what God is doing in the struggle and what biblical manhood actually requires when the money gets tight.In this episode:Why God allows the financial pressureHow your response to the crisis reveals your identityThe difference between men who fold and men who forgeThis ain't surface-level motivation. This is faith and finances at the level of identity.

Debt isn't the enemy. Fear of debt is. In Part 2 of Broke Is a Behavior, Coach Wiggins gets raw about the financial tool most people are too scared to touch — and why that fear is keeping them broke.Being broke isn't just about money. It's a behavior. And one of the biggest broke behaviors is avoiding debt completely because nobody taught you how to use it — so instead it uses you.In this episode:Why debt is a tool, not a trap — and what separates people who build with it vs. people who drown in itThe difference between debt that costs you and debt that works for youHow broke thinking turns debt into shame instead of strategyWhat you need to understand before you touch credit, loans, or leverageThe raw truth about why fear of this one tool is holding your finances backThis is Part 2 of the Broke Is a Behavior series. If you haven't caught Part 1 (Seed or Snack), go back and start there — this series builds.Broke is a behavior. And behaviors can be changed.
