uper Bowl Champ Steve Weatherford: From God Encounters to Hugging Obama & Overcoming Sexual Harassment - MaateCast Ep 15
MaateCastShow Notes
Joining the Maates on this week's episode of the Maatecast is the one and only Steve Weatherford! Steve is easily the biggest guest so far... physically and statistically! He's a Superbowl WORLD Champion, 2 times NFL's Fittest Man, and Cover of Muscle And Fitness Magazine, but it's his love for Jesus and incredible testimony that has led him to find absolute joy and fulfilment in life. The boys discuss Steve's upbringing and childhood that led to the strong mental mindset he needed to become an NFL superstar, but also how that mindset devoured his life and became his idol. Additionally, they discuss where God was throughout the highs and lows of Steve's career, and a moment with God that changed his life forever. If you want to be more than a Mate, join the vision.

You read it right, The Maates are splitting up… physically. Yeah sorry for the bit of clickbait. And while we’re apologising, sorry for the second or two of blurry quality. Anyways, MILLAR HAS MOVED OUT, HE FINALLY TALKS ABOUT HIS RELIGION, and CHRIS CRIED AT CHURCH. What more could you want from a Maatecast Episode.

VALENTINES DAY SPECIAL ❤️ That’s right Ladies and Gents, thIs week the boys are delving DEEP into their past relationships! In doing so, they dig up all the problems they found throughout, and explain how to avoid and/or fix these things. These two 20 year olds basically blurt out the biggest things they’ve learnt throughout the first few years that kids start dating…and hey, one of these boys are getting married in less than a month so he’s got to be doing something right… right?!
What a DOOZY! Episode 22 brings a special guest to the corner of the MaateCast - Mr Hudsen Sheriff. He's a man of deep faith, with a love for people, hailing from the depths of America, he's come to Australia just for this episode (not really, the boys have known him for years cause they went to school together) !! If you want the Faith Talk, skip to the second half ;) Hope you enjoy!
