Episode 38 - Why God Closes Doors & Choosing to Do Hard Things | Sully Luepke (Part 1)

May 13, 2026·38 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Sully Luepke is known for doing extremely hard things—like running seven marathons on seven continents in seven days—to show people what they are truly capable of. But long before the extreme physical endurance, Sully had to navigate the mental and spiritual crucibles of closed doors and tragic loss. In Part 1 of this powerful interview, Sully joins Bobby and Gerrad to share his journey from a strict, church-going childhood in Wisconsin to discovering a personal relationship with God through "Grilled Cheese and Jesus" during Air Force basic training. The guys dive deep into the necessity of taking action in your faith, the painful but necessary reality of God "auditing" relationships out of our lives, and the heavy anger Sully felt toward God after the devastating loss of a military friend in 2015. This is Part 1 of Sully's incredible story. Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don't miss Part 2 next week, where Sully reveals the specific, raw struggles that finally brought him to his knees in total surrender. If this story stirs something in you—pray on it.  If you're searching for more—lean in. Because God is always knocking.  The question is: will you answer?
