What happens when the thing you love becomes the thing that’s draining you? In this episode, Noah Tindale—former D1 runner and now Youth & Young Adults Director at Princetown Church—opens up about stepping away from coaching and learning to live within God-given limits. From “doing 200%” to choosing one lane, Noah shares how identity in Christ reshapes the way we work, compete, rest, and lead. Justin and Noah talk burnout, performance pressure, and why athletes struggle to separate who they are from what they do—plus how abiding with God brings peace whether you’re first in the standings or last. And you’ll hear practical leadership wisdom on building the kind of inner circle that keeps you grounded when the pressure rises.

What happens when success on the field doesn’t bring the fulfillment you expected?

In this episode of The FCA Locker Room, we sit down with Mike McLaughlin, Southern Maine Area Director for FCA, to hear his powerful journey from high-level college and NFL football to a life transformed by Christ. Mike shares what it was like competing at the highest levels of the game without faith, how his identity was shaped by performance, and the moment God began drawing him to something more.

We talk about finding true purpose beyond wins and losses, how FCA played a role in Mike’s faith journey, and what it looks like to step into a calling rooted in joy, freedom, and a personal relationship with Jesus. This conversation is for athletes, coaches, and anyone searching for meaning beyond success.

Whether you’re in the middle of competition or navigating life after sport, Mike’s story is a reminder that our greatest purpose isn’t found in what we achieve—but in who we were created to know.

Gavin Hill returns to The Locker Room with an update that’s been a year in the making: FCA Rochester Running—a men’s Saturday morning running group built around Faith, Fellowship, and Fitness. What started as a dream (and a few closed doors) has grown into a “running huddle” where devotional, prayer, and real conversation meet the road—mile after mile, side by side.

In this episode, Gavin shares how God called him back into the running space, how shared suffering builds uncommon connection, and how a race-day moment shifted his definition of success from chasing a time to glorifying God by encouraging others. Justin and Gavin also unpack what servant leadership actually looks like in everyday life, the question that reframes every conversation—“What can I give, not what can I get?”—and why true joy is different than happiness.

Plus: Gavin shares what’s next for the club, including a women’s group launching soon, and how you might see FCA showing up at local road races to represent Christ and invite others into a wholesome, faith-forward community.
