What does it really mean to win in life—and why do so many high-achievers still feel like they’re falling short?

In this episode of I Dare You, I’m joined by Chip Pugh, Team Chaplain for the Tennessee Titans and author of Made to Win: Six Practices of Jesus for Life on Mission.

Chip has spent decades developing athletes, coaches, and leaders—serving in collegiate athletics, strength and conditioning, and leadership development roles (including at Tennessee Tech University)—and he brings a clear, practical framework for maximizing your potential.

You’ll learn why so many people never experience the joy of winning (because they were never trained to win), how to quiet the “distracting voices” that derail your calling, and why community isn’t optional if you want a life that’s strong, resilient, and mission-driven. Chip also shares a simple daily prayer and challenge that can change how you see people—and how you show up in the world.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

The 3-part pathway to winning: expect, aim, and train
Why identity comes before purpose—and how your words shape both
How to discern truth when doubt and adversity hit
The “life huddle” principle: why you need a few people who truly know you
The practice of “Invest in the One”—and the daily habit that brings purpose into focus

Chip’s message is direct, practical, and deeply encouraging—whether faith is central to your life right now or you’re simply searching for what you were made for.

Here’s the prayer you pray (the “one daily prayer” from your Chip Pugh episode script):

Lord, give me the eyes to see what You see today.

Prepare my hands to do what You have designed me to do.

Prepare my feet to go where You send me.

Please send me to the one who is ready to follow You…

and fill me with the skill to win them to You.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
