Living Boldly, Standing for Liberty, Staying Equipped
The latest episode of the Life Liberty Equipped podcast brought more laughs, insight, and inspiration as host Graig Davis and the team gathered in their new studio to dive into their weekly segments of Life, Liberty, and Equipped—this time joined by special guest Tiberius Giblin. Whether you’re catching up or reliving the live moment, here’s your full recap.
🎙️ Studio Talk & Introductions
Broadcasting live across YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram, the crew welcomed Tiberius Giblin, NeoMag’s business development executive and YouTube personality, into the mix. Tib, known for his work in dealer and Amazon sales and coordinating trade shows, added a humorous, sharp perspective to the conversation, live from Rhode Island—where the roads are bad, the lobster rolls are elite, and the drivers are statistically among the worst.
🏡 LIFE: Lawnmowers, Youth Camps, Shooting Sports & Skydiving
This week’s “Life” segment offered a mix of home repair tales, family milestones, and high-adrenaline hobbies.
-
Mower Mishaps: Graig and Nate shared their lawnmower sagas—sheared bolts, sputtering push mowers, and tales of childhood landscaping businesses.
-
Youth Worship Commitment: Graig opened up about his week volunteering at a youth church camp, leading worship every evening. Despite the hour-long drive each way, it’s been a spiritually fulfilling (though exhausting) experience.
-
Major Matches & Fellowship: Mike talked about shooting competitions, leveling up in his class, and the powerful sense of fellowship among fellow competitors. He also announced his registration for an upcoming major match in Michigan.
-
Back in the Sky: Mike is returning to his passion for skydiving after a long break since moving from Florida to Ohio. With a couple of nervous friends joining him for birthday jumps, it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable weekend.
-
Family & Milestones: Tib recounted a wonderful family vacation and nervously celebrated his daughter preparing for her driver’s license test.
🗽 LIBERTY: Purpose over Profit
The Liberty segment highlighted the story of Jason Brown, a former NFL center who walked away from a $37.5 million contract to start a farm and donate food to the hungry. His First Fruits Farm gave away 130,000 pounds of food in its first year alone.
This prompted a powerful discussion:
Would you rather live in comfort without contentment—or outside your comfort zone with full contentment?
The team explored ideas of lifestyle creep, personal fulfillment, and the challenge of stepping into purpose even when it’s risky or unconventional. The conclusion? True liberty is found when we use our freedom to serve others.
🧰 EQUIPPED: Wearable Tech & Wellness Wisdom
The “Equip” segment turned to wearable health tech and how it’s helping the team stay prepared for the long haul.
-
Oura Ring vs Apple Watch: Graig shared his initial impressions of the Oura Ring, a minimalist health tracker with powerful sleep and heart rate data. Nate and Tib weighed in on the pros and cons of the Apple Watch. While the tech is helpful, both Tib and Mike pointed out the importance of not becoming a slave to notifications.
-
Accountability through Data: Graig emphasized how his ring has opened his eyes to how diet, alcohol, and stress affect his sleep and readiness. It’s not about letting tech run your life—but about learning from the data to make better health choices.
-
Why It Matters: The conversation took a heartfelt turn, reflecting on friends and colleagues who’ve suffered or died from heart attacks far too young. Equipping ourselves now—with good health practices and awareness—can protect the futures we’re working hard for.
🙏 FAITH: The Secret to Contentment
In the final segment, Graig shared Philippians 4:11–13, focusing on Paul’s wisdom on finding contentment in all circumstances—whether in abundance or in need.
“I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”
The team discussed how Paul’s hardships shaped his unwavering trust in God, and how we, too, are called to take the hills in front of us—not because we’re already equipped, but because God will equip us through the journey. It’s a powerful reminder that strength doesn’t always come from within—it often comes from surrender.
🔚 Final Thoughts & A Challenge
From busted lawn equipment to life-changing decisions, this episode called listeners to reflect on how they’re living boldly, stewarding liberty, and equipping themselves—physically, mentally, and spiritually—for the mission ahead.
As Graig signs off each week:
Live boldly. Stand for liberty. Stay equipped.
