163: Tom Crandall: The Dangerous Cost of Living Without Conviction
In this episode of the BraveCo Podcast, I open up about one of the most critical foundations a man can build: conviction. In a world where compromise is celebrated and conviction is rare, I walk through my personal journey — the encounters, the battles, the wins, and the ongoing process of becoming a man who stands for something greater.
From wrestling with shame and addiction to encountering the tangible love of God, this conversation digs deep into why real transformation starts with real conviction. You'll hear powerful stories about battles with pornography, living in compromise, and the radical shift that happens when we encounter God's grace. It's not about religion — it's about relationship, about building your true north, and about becoming the man you were born to be.
This episode will inspire you to reflect on your ethos, set your mission, and live life with honor and clarity. Whether you're battling passivity, struggling with shame, or simply hungry to live a higher calling, this conversation gives you practical tools and hope to move forward. Together, let's learn how to build lasting conviction — and rise up in a world that desperately needs strong men.
