Welcome to the Search 185 podcast, your essential guide for men who are ready to build a life of profound meaning and lasting impact.

I'm your host, Henry Avila, and it's a privilege to be joined by my insightful co-host, Jody Czajkoski. And behind the scenes, ensuring every episode delivers transformative value, is our dedicated Executive Producer, Sam Medlock. Together, we're on a mission to equip you with the tools you need to thrive.

In a world that constantly pulls us in countless directions, we believe that true strength isn't found in chasing fleeting trends or temporary successes. Instead, it's discovered by centering our lives on an unshakable foundation of faith. Each episode, we dive deep into powerful topics like the power of teamwork and the timeless teachings of Jesus, exploring how these principles apply to the challenges and opportunities you face every day.

Join us on this journey as we explore how a genuine connection with God and Jesus can ignite an unshakeable courage, foster an unwavering confidence, and ultimately reveal your true purpose. This isn't just about belief; it's about being equipped to live a life of lasting significance, leading with intention, and becoming the man you were created to be.
