In this powerful episode of The IMPACT Show, Jeremy and Maddie sit down with Steve and Debbie Wilson to unpack the life-changing lessons they shared during a recent marriage retreat. Married for 47 years, Steve and Debbie bring both wisdom and experience to the conversation—Steve holds a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Counseling, and Debbie has a BA in Psychology. Together, they’ve built a life centered around faith, family, and intentional relationships, raising three children, welcoming two daughters-in-law and a son-in-law, and now enjoying life with six incredible grandchildren.

What starts as a conversation about marriage quickly expands into something much deeper—communication, leadership, emotional connection, conflict resolution, and forgiveness. Steve and Debbie walk through their powerful framework of the six levels of communication and share practical, real-life insights that apply not only to marriage, but to leadership, parenting, and everyday relationships.

Family is a major priority in their lives, and their passion for helping others grow in their relationships is evident in every story they share. Whether you’re married, leading a team, raising kids, or simply striving to become a better communicator, this episode will challenge you, encourage you, and give you tools you can apply immediately.

In this episode of The IMPACT Show, Jeremy and Lem reflect on the power of coaching, spiritual growth, and the kind of leadership that truly changes lives. After revisiting last week’s powerful coaching episode, Jeremy shares a message that has shaped his leadership journey for nearly a decade: “Men of Another Sort.”

Drawing inspiration from a sermon by David Wilkerson, the conversation explores the intensity, courage, and spiritual authority of the men of God found in Scripture. What made figures like Ezra, David, and Solomon so impactful? Were they extraordinary—or did they simply follow patterns that anyone can learn?

Jeremy introduces a new series that will examine the lives, decisions, and leadership of men and women in the Bible, starting with the wisdom of Solomon and the leadership legacy passed down from King David. Together, the hosts discuss how wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord, why Proverbs remains one of the most practical books for leadership, and how leaders today can strengthen themselves in difficult seasons—just as David did.

If you want to grow in leadership, character, and spiritual influence, this episode sets the foundation for discovering the patterns that produce lasting impact.

In this episode of The IMPACT Show, Jeremy Melton sits down with co-host Lem Durden for an unfiltered leadership coaching session. With no script and no preparation, the conversation explores the real pressures leaders face when building a company while trying to remain present for their family, faith, and personal well-being.

Jeremy opens up about the weight of growing a business, the guilt of time lost with family, and the struggle many leaders face between responsibility and relationships. Lem shares hard-earned wisdom from decades in business, offering practical guidance on time management, humility, prayer, discipline, and structuring life around what matters most.

This episode is a powerful reminder that leadership is not just about building companies—it’s about building lives that reflect purpose, faith, and balance.

If you're a business owner, leader, or someone striving to align work, family, and faith, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

Joshua Johnson returns to Episode 42 to challenge the way we define struggle—and the way we respond when pressure hits. Jeremy breaks down how leaders grow by confronting the “gorilla in the room,” and why athletes often make elite leaders: they’ve trained their response to resistance.

You’ll walk away with a mindset shift that applies everywhere—business, family, faith, and personal growth: adversity is either a runway or a roadblock, and perspective determines which one it becomes.

If you’ve been stuck, coasting, plateaued, or battling something quietly—press play.

What is your Impact?

In this episode of The IMPACT Show, Jeremy and Maddie sit down with Wes and Lyndsi Jackson to share a story of love, loss, loyalty, and lasting impact.

Wes and Lyndsi are widely known in Morgan County, not for titles or positions, but for the way they show up for children in this community. They have coached countless teams, poured into kids who needed steady voices, and created a safe place where effort, respect, joy, and belonging are taught one practice at a time. Through coaching, they’ve been more than teachers of sports, they’ve been builders of character, confidence, and hope.

But their story is also marked by heartbreak. In January, their son Avett, a vibrant, humble, gifted twelve-year-old who had a way of making everyone around him feel seen, was tragically killed in an accident. His passing shook the entire county, as it claimed the life of 2 seventh graders. And yet, through unexplainable strength, honest grief, and their faith—Wes and Lyndsi have continued to lead, love, and lift others.

In this conversation, they share:

• The joy and everyday goodness of the life with Avett
• The accident that changed everything
• How their faith has held them in the darkest of days
• The community that held them close
• The ongoing impact of Avett’s life — including kids making decisions for Christ
• To keep doing the things. To keep loving the kids. To keep showing up.

Their message is simple, powerful, and unforgettable:

Do the things. Say yes. Hug your people. Coach the team. Love the kids who need it. Be kind. Be present. And if you don’t know Jesus, get to know Him.

This episode is not just a story of loss.
It is a testimony of faith, family, and the beautiful ripple effect of a life lived well.

And Avett’s impact continues.

Because the story isn’t over.
It’s only beginning — for every life he touched.
