"Whatever you compromise to keep, you'll eventually lose, but whatever you surrender to God, he'll redeem and multiply in your life." —Don Wood
Small compromises can slip into a life when pressure stacks up and the pace never slows. It feels harmless in the moment, but those tiny decisions start pulling us away from the men we're meant to be. This conversation taps straight into that tension and opens space for the honesty that many leaders rarely speak out loud.
Don shares the quiet drift in his own life, how exhaustion made shortcuts feel reasonable, and how rebuilding integrity became a daily practice shaped by truth, brotherhood, and conviction. His stories reveal how pressure, image, and fear can bend a man before he even realizes he's drifting.
Press play to hear a raw look at compromise, restoration, and the practical steps that help us lead with clarity and peace again.
