🔥 This is the story Hollywood doesn't want you to hear.

Cody Bobay went from being an alcoholic 13-year-old in a broken home to encountering God in a Navy barracks—and his entire life changed in ONE SECOND. Now he's fighting to take back Hollywood one film at a time.
From nuclear warfare missions to battling depression, from marriage crisis to standing up against church criticism, from devastating rejection to launching a studio that refuses to bow to Hollywood's agenda—this conversation goes DEEP.
If you're struggling with:

Pornography addiction
Depression or suicidal thoughts
Marriage problems
Feeling like a failure
Finding your purpose
Being a better father
Fighting for biblical masculinity

This episode is for you.
