In this episode, Christ over Culture host, Michelle Lenae, interviews the founder of Jireh Athletics, Andrae Nelson, about faith, fatherhood, and entrepreneurship. Andrae discusses his journey as a corporate attorney and how a busy season of switching jobs, welcoming a new baby with his wife, and managing demanding careers helped him to see God as Jehovah Jireh -- the God who provides -- in every season. This prompted him to launch his Christian apparel brand Jireh Athletics in February 2025.
Scripture Reference: Jonah 4:6 "And the Lord God arranged for a leafy plant to grow there, and soon it spread its broad leaves over Jonah’s head, shading him from the sun. This eased his discomfort, and Jonah was very grateful for the plant."
