Episode Details

In this powerful episode, I sit down with leadership from Soldiers of the Cross, a men’s motorcycle ministry committed to searching for the one—the lost, the broken, and the forgotten.

Joining me are:
• Ben Hardister, President of the Modesto, California founding chapter
• Nick Dowdy, Vice President of the Modesto chapter
• Rod Garcia, President of the Idaho chapter

Soldiers of the Cross serves wherever God opens the door—inside prisons, on the streets, on mission trips, and in communities where help is needed most. Their mission is simple but heavy: show up, serve, and bring the Gospel to men who feel beyond reach.

We dive into powerful “God stories” from across the country and around the world—moments of redemption, divine timing, and lives changed through obedience. Ben also shares his experience spending years as a volunteer chaplain working with death row inmates at San Quentin State Prison, offering a perspective few ever hear.

This conversation touches on faith, purpose, suffering, redemption, brotherhood, and what it means to walk boldly in your calling—no matter where you’re starting from. No matter your walk of life, there is something in this episode that will hit home.
