About this Episode

With the Milwaukee Brewers making an incredible run to the World Series, all eyes are on the diamond. But behind the microphone, how does the play-by-play voice of the team keep his soul grounded in a high-visibility, high-stress career? This week, Jim Jansen sits down with Brewers broadcaster Lane Grindle to solve a problem every busy Catholic faces: how to stop separating your "work self" from your "faith self". Lane shares real-world wisdom on navigating a grueling travel schedule, surviving the intense culture of modern youth sports, and maintaining the daily disciplines needed to remain an intentional husband, father, and man of faith.
