On this episode of Bros and Cons, we welcome a good old friend, Mario, to the podcast for a raw and honest conversation about friendship, the streets, and the journey that changed his life forever. One question people often ask is: Do your old friends get upset when you change your life? Do they support what you’re doing, or do they prefer the person you used to be? We open up about the reality of outgrowing your old life, the challenges that come with change, and what happens when the people who knew you before your transformation see you walking a different path. To close out the discussion, Mario shares a powerful personal testimony about his experiences with demonic torment and his journey towards Jesus Christ. A real-life story of darkness, spiritual warfare, faith, and redemption. Sometimes, the streets shape your past, but they don’t have to determine your future. No matter how far you’ve gone, there is always hope in Jesus Christ. All glory to God. ✝️🙏🏽 🎙️ Bros and Cons Real conversations. Real testimonies.

Justin Makhlouf joins Bros & Cons to break down what it really takes to become the LAST MAN STANDING in one of the craziest endurance races around. We go behind the scenes of the race — the physical pain, the mental battle, the mindset required to keep going when your body is telling you to stop, and what it took to outlast everyone else. But for Justin, it was about more than just running. He opens up about his faith in God, what the experience meant to him spiritually, and how his faith helped carry him through the hardest moments. At one point during the race, a priest even prayed over him between sets, creating a powerful moment in the middle of an already incredible challenge. We get into the preparation, the mindset, the breaking points, the faith, and what goes through your head when you know you still have another lap to run. How far can the human mind and body really go? This is the story behind the race, the man, and the mindset that made Justin Makhlouf the LAST MAN STANDING. 🎙️ BROS & CONS Subscribe for more real conversations, powerful stories and perspectives from people who have lived through it. #BrosAndCons #JustinMakhlouf #LastManStanding #UltraMarathon #Endurance #Faith #Mindset #Running #Christianity See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
