Spiritual Fitness and Transformation with Clint Riggin
Join us for an inspiring conversation with Clint Riggin, the dynamic founder and CEO of Limitless Faith Inc. From overcoming a tumultuous childhood to serving as a Navy veteran and achieving success as a bodybuilder, Clint's journey is one of resilience and transformation. His personal story is marked by the profound lessons learned from his father's recovery from addiction, highlighting the power of empathy and understanding. Clint shares the pivotal moments that led him to create Limitless Faith, a platform dedicated to helping individuals, especially men, live purpose-driven lives aligned with their faith.
In this episode, we explore the transformative journey of becoming the man God calls us to be, focusing on five key pillars: mindset, spiritual strength, physical fitness, family leadership, and community involvement. Clint emphasizes the importance of approaching God with our imperfections and surrendering to His guidance. A major theme is the struggle many men face with forgiveness—accepting it from God, others, and oneself—which is crucial for embracing a new identity in Christ. Clint sheds light on overcoming self-doubt and recognizing our worth in God's eyes, empowering us to live boldly and lead with purpose.
Listen in as we discuss the integration of physical fitness into spiritual practice, underscoring the significance of maintaining our bodies as temples for the Holy Spirit. Clint shares compelling stories of individuals who have embraced new identities in Christ, supported by a strong community. The episode also highlights the importance of daily spiritual disciplines, like prayer and scripture study, to nurture the soul and prepare for spiritual challenges. Clint's personal anecdotes and insights offer a holistic approach to personal growth and spiritual development, inspiring listeners to prioritize spiritual growth and set an example for their families and communities.

But you also want to set the example for your family and if you know that your kids are caught, not taught, right so they're going to watch everything that you do. When your hand's in the cookie jar. They're like well, I want to be like mommy and daddy. You know, I want to put my hand in the cookie jar when you have McDonald's. They're going to grow up and be like well, mom and daddy ate McDonald's, I can eat McDonald's, but if you're kids, see that they want to be just like you.
Speaker 2:So my biggest thing is you set the example every day. Hey, uncommon Leaders, welcome back. This is the Uncommon Leader Podcast. I'm your host, john Gallagher. I've got a great conversation coming up for you today I'm excited about it with Clint Riggin.
Speaker 2:Clint is the founder and the CEO of Limitless Faith Inc. Now we're going to talk a lot about that because he's also the host of the Limitless Faith podcast, and so I think we're going to talk a good bit about Limitless Faith. But it's also about Clint's story. We're going to learn. He's a Navy veteran, he's a former bodybuilder and a champion at that as well, and whatever he's done, he's done really well, whether it's businesses that he started, uh, or ultimately now where he is in the space of um, impacting men to live their life the way God created them to be. I'm excited about that conversation and, as we get going, I don't want this to be just a conversation for men leaders. This is out there for everybody who needs to know how to ultimately look at your purpose in life, live that purpose out and find out, regardless of where you are in your faith journey, what you need to do to make that happen. So, clint, welcome to the Uncommon Leader Podcast. Glad you're here. How are you doing today?
Speaker 1:Don, thank you so much for having me. I always like to say I'm blessed and highly favored by the perfect king. He gave us another day. Praise the Lord.
Speaker 2:That's right. We get another day and another day for this conversation. He arranged that conversation for us, no doubt about it. Before we dive into Limitless Faith and where that has been for you, I'm going to ask you the same question. I always ask our first-time guests on the Uncommon Leader podcast and that stuff Tell us a story from your childhood or early on that still impacts who you are today as a person or as a leader.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So my mom and my dad. They never got married and my mom found my stepdad two years after Wasn't sure if I was really supposed to be born. I was kind of like that uh-oh baby and my dad struggled with alcohol and addiction for quite a long time and my dad became a drug and alcohol counselor after 20 years of addiction. For 24 years Saved thousands of lives and it was beautiful to be at his wake and talk to these gentlemen and what I learned from this. I used to go to AA meetings Every time. I beautiful to be at his wake and talk to these gentlemen and what I learned from this.
Speaker 1:I used to go to AA meetings Every time I went to visit my dad. We had bi-weekly visits and I would go and I would hear these men tell their stories of just alcohol that had them by the grip, of just anything they would do for this addiction. My dad would listen to them intently and just hear them out and just let them pour out their heart. He wouldn't try to correct them and he wouldn't try to like, hey, well, this is what you need to do, and no, he would just listen and I would be there and as a child I would. I wouldn't. I didn't really understand what it meant.
Speaker 1:Then, as I started to grow up and I started to mature, I became a very intently listening person where I would just sit there. I'll listen to somebody tell their story so that I can really understand. Ok, and most people just want to be heard. And when I started to do that, I wasn't starting trying to correct people, but as a coach and as I developed into a coach, I had this like knack for wanting to coach people and telling them what to do based upon my life, and I started to learn that it's better than to just listen to somebody, hear them out, and then you ask the question. You say, hey, you mind if I give you my advice, and then if they say yes, you follow through with that advice. If they say no, I don't really need it, but okay, that's okay, sure. So you give them the acknowledgement and you ask them welcome them into the conversation.
Speaker 2:Glenn, you get a chance to really learn as you grow, both through your experiences, as you talked about and I say this almost, it feels like almost every episode on the Uncommon Leader podcast and the stories that folks have is that they are now helping basically the people that they used to be, and I'm quite sure that your journey into becoming the founder and CEO of Limitless Faith is a lot about helping people who were just like you. So let's go into Limitless Faith and how you got to this point today, go back as far as you want to Tell us your story and what you've been through and, ultimately, what led you to start Limitless Faith.
Speaker 1:Sure thing. So I grew up in a small town, Salisbury, Pennsylvania. I was 17 years old. I figured I needed to join the military because I definitely wasn't going to college. I was a reckless kid, partying and just doing nothing with my life, and so I joined the military eight years in the Navy Washington State for two years. Hawaii for six years worked on E-18 Growlers those are the ones that, like, can EMP a city. I have an aviation structural mechanic. Hawaii I worked on helicopters MH-60 Romeos and then I started to compete in bodybuilding. And then I got really full of myself. My ego and my pride took over and I won my last competition in 2017. And then my thyroid stopped working four months later. What happened was my identity was in the Navy, Then my identity was in bodybuilding.
Speaker 1:And then I lost that identity in everything because I got addicted to cocaine for three years of my life. I lost everything in my life at that point. So I didn't have the body of my dreams, I didn't have the job of my career, the career of my dreams. And that led me into California where I went and did private security for President Trump for eight months 26 different States, and then I fueled my drug addiction. Nobody ever knew that, um, but for me now it's like I really like to tell that side of the story, because you don't really understand what people are going through.
Speaker 2:Uh, and nobody could ever see it so fast forward.
Speaker 1:I met a girl doing Molly. For three days Um thought I met the love of my life. I obviously that wasn't the case Moved to Orlando, florida, with her, figured that if I really wanted to do something with my life, I probably should cut out the people who did drugs, alcohol and all the different things that my dad actually helped people get out of and built Limitless Coaching to half a million in 12 months. We did hormone replacement therapy, blood work consultations, nationwide meal prep supplements delivered to six, seven favorite clients. And then I lost it all.
Speaker 1:May 1st 2022, I woke up with amnesia. I didn't know who I was or who my clients were. Nobody believed me. Nobody could. Nobody, like everybody, left my life because I had nothing to give them. 14 months of depression, three attempted suicides later, I surrendered my life to Christ. July 6th 2023, I went on a road trip across the US for 153 days and my mentor prayed over me and he said this he said if you can lead by faith and not sight, god's got a really big plan for your life. And I said I have no idea what that means. And then I go to learn that that's a verse in the Bible.
Speaker 2:The next day.
Speaker 1:I start to get this urge to like read Scripture. It the next day I start to get this urge to like read scripture. It's weird, I've never had it before. So ever since that day I've been opening up my Bible, sometimes at 1.30 am, sometimes at 3 am and diving into scripture. And now I'm a full-time seminary student at Southern California Seminary. I founded Limitless Faith Ministry 13 months ago because I was a broken man who really needed God at one point in my life.
Speaker 2:And I really wanted to help men be able to see what God sees in them, to build men of God around the world. July 6th 2023 is when you, uh, gave it all to him. Was there? Was there a moment for you? Oh, was there. Was there a story? I mean I just read this morning through Exodus in terms of the burning bush. Was there a burning bush that God talked to you in, or what was it that led you to make that decision right then?
Speaker 1:and there, that transformation right then and there that transformation Psychiatric VA was my third attempt at suicide. I was about to take 130 pills. I called the suicide hotline. I spent five days in a psychiatric VA with people that were literally going nuts and I looked around and I said this isn't me Like. Why am I here? I didn't hear from God at that point. I didn't hear an audible voice or anything. But I remember going back and before I started that road trip I got on my hands and knees I said Lord, I'm done, I'm done, I can't win. I've been trying everything. And then I believe it's when I said I'm done, he said I can begin. And then I believe it's. When I said I'm done, he said I can begin. And then from there started the journey of me really learning what sanctification is and consecration and becoming holy.
Speaker 2:Because I was, I was I was messed up.
Speaker 1:It wasn't like right after my surrender is when my whole life changed. I think a lot of the times we believe that God's just going to flick the switch and and you're going to turn into this holy, consecrated, sanctified person just walking through life, just the perfect Christian. And we're imperfect people serving the perfect king.
Speaker 2:So I love that. And then Limitless Faith comes out of you know really again you had been. It sounds like cutting you in this fitness world and coaching folks in that space, helping them to become healthier in their physical fitness. Limitless Faith Ministry changes the game. Where was the idea for Limitless Faith Ministry and how you got started there?
Speaker 1:So Limitless Coaching had a motto called Infinite Possibilities Come to those who Believe. Then I was like no, no, no. Infinite Possibilities Come to those who Believe in Him. So we switched that over to Limitless Faith Ministries, because really it's limitless what God can do in your life if you seek him with all of your heart. But this is where the surrender comes, this is where you got to give it all to him.
Speaker 2:Love that, and so now you are coaching other individuals. You're coaching them. Again. You could talk about the man God has called you to be. Ultimately, at times, it's the leader God has called you to be in the place that you are, whether it's in your family, whether it's in your community, whether it's in your workplace, and you've got the five pillars to becoming the man has called you to be Mindset, spiritual strength, physical fitness, leading your family and community. Tell me a little bit more about that framework and how you lead individuals on that journey.
Speaker 1:So big thing that I want people to come in and understand is that we're we're, first of all, we're. We're not perfect. Um, I think so many people are trying to live up to this standard that they have heard or they have set with their pastors or people that preached over there or whatever it might be, and God wants you to come in, broken, beaten down, whatever it might be like. Just he wants you to come to him how you are and he does the rest. But here is where the pain and the uncomfortability and the change comes, because when you look at the truth, which the word of God is a mirror, it's not a microscope.
Speaker 1:But a lot of the times, we like to change the word and we like to put a shit on other people, instead of looking at the word, letting the truth convict us and then saying all right, lord, you're revealing some things that need to change about me. I don't really like it, but if I surrender it all to you, let's make these changes together. So, as a man, you are a leader and you need to lead your family, lead your kids, and that comes from setting the example. To set the example, that means you're in prayer and that means you're in scripture and that means you're loving your wife as Jesus loves the church, and that means that as you submit to the Lord, your wife will ultimately submit to you. But a man who is not submitted to a higher power is not being led by anything.
Speaker 1:So what I learned in this process was that men have a problem with submission and submitting to God. So we really go through the process of understanding. What does that look like to submit? What does that look like to submit? What does that look like to give it all to god? What does that surrender look like? What's the daily not the daily devotions, the uh, the daily um disciplines that we must do, where there's no excuses, that you will be in scripture and that you will go into prayer, but it's not asking for finances and all these different things. It's giving thanksgiving to god for everything that you have like. I think that's one of the most overlooked things when we go into prayer is just giving thanks for loving us, like thank you for the love that you give to us was ultimately what happens is god is love and love is god, and what that's going to do is, as God loves you, he makes us people that can love others. It's a transfer, and what you don't transform, you transfer to other people.
Speaker 2:Clarence, you talk about that and the opportunities that you get. Again, I'm tying it back to your story as well At the start of this, with regards to listening, you get the opportunity to listen to these men and understand where they are and whether it's alcoholism or whether it is something else. What do you see as some of the biggest barriers that these men have to submitting, as you say, to a higher authority, ultimately making the choice to transform themselves?
Speaker 1:That's a great question. Forgiveness the three-step process to forgiveness. Number one knowing that you are forgiven past, present and future. Jesus died on the cross for your sins, live a sinless, perfect life, resurrected three days later, salvation and grace. Is completely paid for Forgiving others who hurt you and also forgiving yourself, because that's all from the enemy. The shame and the guilt that you feel every day, the weight that you're that holds you down, it literally comes from him, not god the enemy, because he wants you to feel that. I say this a lot jesus knows your sin, calls you by the name. Satan knows your name, calls you by sin. We'll continue to remind you Because, if you think about it, if I didn't forgive myself, forgive the other people that heard me, took money from me, all the things that they did in my life and then also know that I'm forgiven.
Speaker 1:I would just look back in my past and I would live that same story over and over and over again Drugs, addiction, losing a company. I'm not worthy. But then, when you understand that you're a new creation, like Galatians 2.20, I've been crucified through Christ. It's no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. I now live in my life and my body by the faith and the Son of God. Wait, wait. That means Jesus lives within me. That means I have the power of the Holy Spirit. That means I'm a new creation. That means that whatever that was is past and the new has come. So when we step into that and the men finally see the identity shift, oh, it's so beautiful when you see them walk in with a spirit of boldness, not a spirit of fear.
Speaker 2:Clinton, you started talking about that. With regards to forgiveness and those three steps to recognizing that, you got to the point where you used a word that clicked with me. It was in my mind, was worthy, and ultimately, doubt was a word that sits in my mind that the evil one, the devil, will sit there and put doubt into our heads that we aren't capable or we aren't worthy of receiving that forgiveness or, frankly, of giving that as well and tell us those stories. And so having those disciplines that you talk about staying in the word each day, learning, continuing to be around others in community that will challenge you as well in that space are so important At short time you know 13 months you mentioned in terms of since you've started Limitless Faith is there a specific story that rings for you where someone has, you know, gone through these five steps or five pillars, excuse me, with you and made a transformation in their lives, without sharing necessarily anybody's name, but what's impacted you in your work?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean we've had a gentleman come in who is so beautiful. He used to sell drugs to some high-level cartels and he came in and he was dealing with spiritual warfare. The enemy's really in his head. He's been a devoted follower of christ for a long time but he didn't understand that he was a new creation like his, his identity. But then you so you see him on the zoom calls, you see him coming in, you can see it just weighing down on him so me and edwin snyder, my co-minister within lindelist faith.
Speaker 1:Uh, edwin snyder, 71 years old, he's been discipling for 30 plus years. Nashville, tennessee, small little you know house church. He brings people in. It's beautiful. He's got 12 cats somebody you want to see on social media. He's just a devoted follower of christ.
Speaker 1:What we see in him as the identity shifts he sees Jesus in him. He's like, wow, I actually am accepted, I'm cared for. But he also sees a community that cares for him and prays for him as well. He's never felt that love before. So as he comes in, he's then saying, hey, how can I pray for you guys? Or hey, how can I serve you guys? Or how can I be there for you? It's no longer. Hey, how can I pray for you guys? Or hey, how can I serve you guys? Or how can I be there for you? It's no longer. Hey, what can I get for me? It's. I can see the shift and I think that's the most beautiful thing, because, living in this faith ministry, I mean, we don't charge. Discipleship is free. We want to help as many men as we possibly can. God will always take care of us. He always does. But for me in ministry, I don't see myself ever charging anything.
Speaker 2:Hey listeners, I want to take a quick moment to share something special with you.

It's an opportunity for us to connect, discuss your unique challenges and explore how coaching or consulting can benefit you and your team. Okay, let's get back to the show.
Speaker 2:Clint, when you think about those five pillars and that story, thank you for sharing that story because I think the personal transformation when you can play a part in that, walking alongside being a disciple for others, making an impact, is critical Just in terms of a time, that where I am personally right now. One of the pillars you mentioned is physical fitness. We don't have time to go through all five of them, clearly on this episode, but physical fitness is one of those pillars and, given that you had done bodybuilding before, I believe I heard when I was doing my research that you're either preparing for, or have done, a high rocks event. I find myself at a little bit older age than you. Are preparing for my first Spartan race, which I'm getting anxious about here coming up here in a few months, but preparing my body for that In terms of how that fits in. With regards to the ministry, where do you see the overlap between physical fitness, faith and ministry? What is it in there that you bring?
Speaker 1:I mean, this is a very important question. I think it's very overlooked too where we have one temple where the Holy Spirit lives within us, works through us. How God wants us to serve does not mean he needs us to be sick. And when you don't take care of your body and you are overweight and you don't and this is the thing you've been crucified to Christ. No longer I live, but Christ who lives in me. So you respect the person who lives within you. So, if you respect the person who lives within you, what do you do? You take care of the temple that is given to you. So that means that when we go to the gym, we eat healthy, we go, and and I think it's so great to set those goals like a spartan race. That's incredible.
Speaker 1:Honestly, I just I had to cancel my high rocks for because of ministry, but I think it's so amazing that where men then start to set the example, not only in their spiritual walk, but then they're a walking example when they walk into a room, oh, wow, you take care of yourself, you, you, you really are setting the example.
Speaker 1:Because, let me tell you, an authority is set when you are in shape and you walk into a room. There there will be people that guide towards you, not because of the Holy Spirit, but also because you take care of yourself. You set a certain authority, but you also want to set the example for your family and if you know that your kids are caught, not taught right, so they're going to watch everything that you do. When your hands in the cookie jar, they're like, well, I want to be like mommy and daddy, you know, I want to put my hand in the cookie jar when you have McDonald's. They're going to grow up and be like well, mom and daddy ate McDonald's, I can eat McDonald's, but if you're eating healthy, if you're in your prayer and you're in your body, and their kids see that they want to be just like you.
Speaker 1:So my biggest thing is you set the example every day. I always say this God is always in control. It's on you to take control, but he's not a remote control, right? So you can't press the backwards button and go back into the past. You can't press the forwards button and go into the future, but you can press play every day and set the example that Christ would want you to set daily in your life.
Speaker 2:Love that. And even again, there's a transformation component to that, clint, with regards to the example of how not to be at times as well, and my let refers to it as being the one, the one who may break the chain with regards to some of the bad habits inside of a generation and what that's going to take and the courage that that takes to make a change as well. So I appreciate you sharing that on the physical side and I hope that you get the chance to move back toward that high Roxy, I can tell you, stay in pretty good physical shape. Outside of the physical fitness, what are some other habits or routines you have to keep your spiritual disciplines alive and growing.
Speaker 1:Yeah for sure. Um, so if you ever look on my calendar you know it's funny. I met a worship pastor. I was at C-suite for Christ in Dallas the other uh, last week, and I shared my calendar with him just to book an appointment and then supposedly my public calendar was like on for everybody to see. So he goes. Well, dude, look at your schedule. He's like you have.
Speaker 1:I have time with God set for an hour and a half every morning for scripture and study. That never changes. That always will be there, because that is the time where I can hear from God the loudest. That's the time where I don't have a bunch of calls or Zoom meetings or whatever it might be and you're distracted. But also you need to nourish your soul. The armor of God is a real thing. We step into spiritual warfare every single day.
Speaker 1:So if you're not renewing your mind daily, you're fueling yourself with the media, with the news, whatever it might be, and I think people have to understand that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. You're made in the image of God, you're handcrafted by God, so you can remember those scripture that comes to you, so you can repeat that over your life. So for me it's prayer and scripture every day. Being in seminary, I mean, I'm always in the Bible, so it's like we got six papers to do a week, uh, for school, but uh, I think, for anyone taking the time and just giving god your first fruits of like really acknowledging, like god, thank you for another day like this is incredible. You chose me because these stats are real 151 200 people didn't wake up. There's 105 people that die every single minute. There's 1,440 minutes in a day. God chose you, god chose everybody who's going to listen to this of giving us a chance to build the kingdom. And what are we going to do with that every day?
Speaker 2:Clint, I love that and I love that discipline, that 90 minutes of starting your day with him. You also are the host of the Limitless Faith podcast and you actually do a daily sermon as well. Tell me about one of those two things what has energized you to do that as well? Because you just said that six papers a week you're in seminary school trying to get through that, uh, and done 90 minutes a day, uh, in study and you know, again, taking care of yourself physically, uh, where do you find the time? But tell me, tell me about this, uh, also, the daily message that you bring.
Speaker 1:So, um, on TikTok, we, uh, I, I, I went live November 11th and, uh, for the first time I had five viewers in there. I was like Lord, this is crazy, I'm not talking to five people. And what he told me was like it doesn't matter if there's one person in the room, you will serve as you are to serve. And what happened? During that time I continued to go live and we went from five to upwards of 15,000 in the room and I said, wow, lord, so you'll take care of the growth. But I was at the gym one day and I was showering. I was like something came to me and I was like God, I feel like people just don't know the Bible. And he's like well, read the Bible. What do you mean when we just read it on the live?
Speaker 2:He said yeah, read it.
Speaker 1:So then I thought okay, well, let's go into an expository teaching of the whole Bible in 2025.
Speaker 1:So currently we're ending Joshua right now, going straight into Judges, and we do an exposition of Scripture, three chapters, every morning from 4.30 am we start and then most of the time it probably goes until 5.30 am and then I'm just there answering questions, whatever I can do to service other people, until 7 am every morning. But it came from me starting of just wanting to talk about Jesus. There's three things I always talk about the power of the cross, the Holy Spirit, the blood of Jesus and identity. Those are four things that I don't see a lot of people talking about and they're so important. And once you understand the power of the Holy spirit, once you understand the cross and what it means and the blood of Jesus that comes in, heals the deep, dark trauma in your heart and the things that you're trying to go to your physician or your therapist or whatever it might be. I have found that once people really step into that, they can open their heart. They let Jesus in. That's all he wants. He just wants to be let in their life.
Speaker 2:Love that you mentioned a mentor. You mentioned the way I was introduced to you originally was listening to another person's podcast. You've got your time in the Word that you do every day. Are there any other leaders, podcasts authors that inspire you on your journey, as well of personal growth?
Speaker 1:Joby Martin, great pastor at COE 22, I think it's called uh in um. In in florida there is pastor philip anthony mitchell, who I watch every now and then. He's got great teaching, uh, and my let's always uh, I learned so much from him. Um, frank rochelle, who's our lead pastor at Life Church. These leadership techniques are amazing.
Speaker 1:And then from there there's probably one other person. Do you know? I don't know, I'm not sure if you know, dan Muller. Muller is probably the realist when it comes to just talking about Jesus, like not really theologically, but in a point where it's just like guys, this is the perspective of how you need to see how Jesus sees you, for you to see other people, for you to love on other people, for identity and understanding yourself in Jesus. And for me, I get theological from seminary and you know we learn all that, all that stuff but I really like to connect with people who are vulnerable, authentic, honest, talk about their problems, you know, and really just dive deep into who they are. And, yeah, I would say those are the top four.
Speaker 2:I appreciate that, and you mentioned the names of Mylett and Groeschel. I just finished his book last night, dangerous Prayers, which was one I came across from a question that he posed on Instagram one time that said, if everything that we prayed about in the last week was actually answered, what impact would that have on the world? And I just found that to be really a deep question that pierced me in terms of my prayer life and opening that up. So I appreciated reading that one and looking forward to his next book coming out on doubt. So Groeschel, no doubt might let I follow his podcast as well, and I'm not surprised that we have some similar interests inside of that space. Outside of that, there's a question that you asked to make sure that I asked you and I want to know. Who do we need to know?
Speaker 1:Jesus. That's who we need to know, and I wanted you to say that, because a lot of the times we're like we need to know this person or this relationship, whatever, guys, I'm telling you right now, the most important relationship you'll ever have in your life is Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, because without him, the rest of it does not come.
Speaker 1:You can try to build your own tower, it's not going to flourish. I tried that on my own. And when you build for the Lord, it's not what you want to plan, it's what he is going to plan from your heart. And it's not the desire of your heart, it's the desire of his heart within you, and that's the thing I had to learn. There's so many different things that I want to do, john. I want to build my next company right now. I'm ready to go, but he says no, you're not going to build a company.
Speaker 1:You're going to continue to serve me and I'm learning patience. I'm a very high performance, peak performance kind of guy. Go, go, go. But I can tell you right now, in 2024, I learned what waiting on the Lord really meant, like finding the secret place that not a lot of people talk about, dwelling in the shadow of the most high Psalm 91.1, that right there, if you can find the secret place, sit with the Lord, pour your heart out to him and develop that intimate relationship with him that will bring you farther than anything else.
Speaker 2:Clint, I appreciate that answer. Ultimately, where you are on your journey. Ultimately, where you are on your journey and as I listen to you, I feel the Spirit inside of you In the short period of time, relatively speaking, where you've come to know Jesus, your knowledge, your wisdom in terms of experiences, but ultimately, your grasp of the Word and scriptural verses that are relative to the things that we're going through in life. You know I often want to emulate something like that and it's been something I've started later in my journey inside of that space. I've enjoyed our conversation today, Clint, and I got a feeling that other folks are going to want to know you. How do you want people to get in touch with you or learn more about you?
Speaker 1:First of all, let me just thank you and say thank you for the honor. Come on the podcast. You guys can look at any social media profile Clint Riggin, limitlessfaithorg. If you're a man looking to be a disciple, you'll fill out the form and I'll get on a call with you. And then we have our inner circle as well, which the inner circle, is not from Limitless Faith, it's under Limitless Agency. But we train Christian business owners who are men in that five-step process.
Speaker 1:But we also bring in faith, family, fitness, focus, finance, and I think I'll always have the love for business and, most importantly, the relationships I've built over time. I want to be able to connect people with people who are doing big things. So, once again, thank you, john, you're doing an incredible work.
Speaker 2:Love that. I'll put the links in the show notes that folks can get in touch with you. Clint, I know they're going to like this. I'm going to give you the last word and finish up with a question that I always and I actually I mean as I see your flag. We're just coming out of the college football national championship and it was clear in that space that God was working through those teams. You have God won. Those of you watching on YouTube can see that God won. On a flag behind you, the Ohio State football team had T-shirts that Jesus won with regards to their message, that they were saying and observing them, pray beforehand and certainly having Notre Dame in there and Riley Leonard and some of the example that he was emulating in his words to lead that team was really powerful and you could see the work that Jesus was doing. I'll give you a billboard. You can put that billboard anywhere you want to. What's the message you're going to put on that billboardboard? You can put that billboard anywhere you want to.
Speaker 1:What's the message you're going to put on that billboard and why do you put that message and you probably Jesus saves. Because I think we have to know that it doesn't matter how much you've done in your life or what you think, that Jesus isn't going to love you or care for you. He is ready to welcome you with open arms, Like that's the most beautiful thing. And a lot of the times I see in the conversations I have is like Clint, you don't understand. I'm like I do. I get it Like I was so far away from God and God was running right next to me. He's like hey, listen, I'm here, I'm ready to bring you in. Jesus saves, he always saves. He's the one who died for every single one of us lives within us. It's just such a beautiful story. It's the most beautiful story of them all.
Speaker 2:Absolutely Greatest story ever told. No doubt about it, clint. Thank you so much for adding value to the listeners of the Uncommon Leader Podcast. I wish you the best going forward. Okay, let's stay in touch.
