📝 Episode Summary
Devin Schubert isn’t just a coach. He’s The Man in Orange—a father, speaker, and trauma survivor with a mandate straight from Jesus Himself.
After years of fighting for his adopted son’s well-being, losing his marriage, his ministry, and his health, Devin flatlined—literally. Doctors gave him three months to live. But in a dark hospital room, Jesus walked in and gave him a new assignment: tell your story to the nations.
In this emotional episode, we talk about the difference between being broken and being called, what happens when God wrecks your plans to reveal your purpose, and how to show up in the world with courage, vulnerability, and power.
If you’ve ever felt disqualified, discarded, or like your legacy is fading, this one will hit deep.
