Valor Cast S1E6: Campus Calling. Growing Faith Where It’s Tested Most

What happens to your faith when you leave the comfort of home—and find yourself spiritually alone?

In this episode, FSU students Ethan Roberts and Sam Harrison join Roberto and Scott to talk about the real challenges of following Jesus on a secular college campus. From struggling to find a faith community, to wrestling with cultural distractions, to resisting spiritual isolation—they share what it’s really like to live for Christ where faith isn’t the norm.

You’ll hear stories from mission trips, campus ministry, and life as preacher’s kids learning to own their faith for themselves. They talk openly about doubts, disconnection, and the high price of spiritual drift—but also the power of friendship, presence, and choosing purpose over comfort.

This one’s for every man trying to walk faithfully in a place that pulls you away from God.

Featuring: Ethan Roberts & Sam Harrison
