From Panic to Peace: College Soccer, Anxiety, and a 30-Second Encounter with God
What happens when the dream you’ve poured your whole life into suddenly leaves you empty? What do you do when anxiety and panic attacks strip away your freedom, your friendships, and even your will to keep going? And how can one quiet moment—on a dark Fourth of July night—shift everything?
In this episode, Justin sits down with Kyle Clairmont, a St. Joseph’s College (ME) soccer player and new believer in Jesus, who opens up about chasing identity through performance, battling crippling panic attacks, and the night he audibly heard God call his name. Together they wrestle with questions every guy faces:
- Can sports, success, or relationships ever really satisfy?
- How do you fight through irrational fear and find peace?
- Why does community matter so much when isolation feels easier?
- What changes when your worth no longer comes from performance but from Christ?
Kyle’s story is raw, honest, and filled with hope. Whether you’re an athlete, a guy trying to figure out faith, or someone struggling with anxiety, this conversation invites you to consider: What if Jesus really does make all the difference?
