In this special episode, Bryce interviews current Wichita State men's basketball coach Paul Mills. Topics discussed in this episode include Coach Mills' second season with the Shockers, handling pressure as a basketball coach, the state of college basketball, the importance of reading Scripture, and how to steward your calling.

Mills spent 14 years as a Baylor assistant under Scott Drew, and then took his first head coaching job at Oral Roberts, turning the Golden Eagles from Summit League bottom-dwellers to undefeated champions over a six-year span (2017-23) with NCAA tournament bids in two of the last three years.

In 2021, Mills became the second coach to guide a No. 15 seed to Sweet 16, upsetting Ohio State and Florida in the first two rounds before losing a heartbreaker to Arkansas in the South Regional Semifinal.

He is a husband and father of two daughters, and received his Master’s Degree from Dallas Theological Seminary in 2020.

In this special episode, Bryce interviews Coach Joe Kennedy who has a new movie "Average Joe" out this weekend about his story. They talk the movie, the Supreme Court, and how important it is to have faith and prayer in your life.

Coach Joe Kennedy, an eighteen-year Marine veteran, was an assistant coach for the Bremerton High School (BHS) varsity football team. Before he even coached his first game, the Marine-turned-football coach made a commitment to God that he would give thanks at the conclusion of each game for what the players had accomplished and for the opportunity to be part of their lives through football. This was met with disapproval from his school district and turned into a lengthy court battle.

On June 27, 2022, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Coach Kennedy and his First Amendment right and on March 8, 2023, Coach Kennedy was officially reinstated as assistant coach and returned to the field for one game on September 1, 2023 before resigning. Joe and his wife, Denise, are parents to four and reside currently in Pensacola. His memoir, Average Joe, is available wherever books are sold and a film inspired by his life will be in theaters beginning October 11. He continues to speak across the country promoting freedom of speech.
