About this episode
Has God been working in your life longer than you realize? Have you ever looked back and seen moments that felt guided—even before you knew Christ? In this 'Average Joe' conversation, Pastor Jim Ramos sits down with high school teacher and coach, and friend, Wade Sims. Wade shares how his life seemed led from the very beginning—through opportunities, challenges, and circumstances that only made sense in hindsight. Together, Jim and Wade unpack the tension between God's sovereignty and human responsibility, exploring how God equips men, lays the groundwork for calling, and draws us forward. Many times God's call is already placed on you, and it's your responsibility to live it out with clarity and courage. You'll walk away with a better understanding of why theology matters, but it always leads back to Jesus. Jim's newest book, Guardrails: Ten Boundaries for an Unbreakable Marriage will be releasing in April 2026. Sign up to be notified when it's available at https://meninthearena.org/guardrails.
