Ep. 88 | "Don’t Dig Up in Doubt What You Planted in Faith"
In this episode, Nathan shares hard-won lessons from building a business, raising a family, and trusting God when the numbers don’t make sense. After losing a major contract, he reflects on how easy it is to second-guess the very decisions once made in faith.
Nathan talks about buying land, building for future generations, finishing 75 Hard with his wife, and the discipline required to keep moving forward when outcomes lag behind obedience. He also opens up about a conversation with Ben Greenfield that reshaped his vision for Tactical Household—shifting from selling digital products to creating real-world brotherhood rooted in faith, training, and community.
