Tune in and get ready to be inspired! In this episode of In the Huddle, I sit down with Darien Sanders — singer, songwriter, worship leader, Broadway performer, author, husband, and father — to talk honestly about faith, calling, family, and learning how to steward a God-given gift with excellence. Darien grew up in a home with eight kids, surrounded by music, competition, faith, and constant movement. From an early age, he was thrust into leadership — but discovering his own calling took time, humility, and obedience. In this conversation, we unpack: Growing up in a big Christian household Living in the tension between structure and freedom Being labeled before you choose your own identity How Darien discovered his voice — without formal training Why small stages matter as much as big ones Learning to steward nerves instead of fighting them Why saying “no” is sometimes the most faithful answer How FCA shaped his view of discipleship and community When faith stopped being inherited and became personal The Passion Conference moment that changed everything Why ministry doesn’t stop outside church walls Getting the call to perform on Broadway (The Lion King) Marriage, fatherhood, and protecting what matters most Writing Don’t Fear Your Roar and owning your calling Filmed at the Louisville Podcast Studio ⏱️ 10 Timestamps 00:00 – Growing up in a house of 8 kids and controlled chaos 03:14 – Built-in competition, music, and finding my personality 06:25 – Living up to a family name and forging my own path 08:44 – When I realized God had given me a gift 10:01 – The moment worship stopped being about me 11:12 – How I sharpened my voice with no formal training 13:23 – Being faithful on small stages before big ones 16:16 – Why nerves never go away (and why that’s good) 19:35 – Learning when to say no — even to good opportunities 21:54 – What FCA taught me about community and consistency 27:13 – When faith became personal, not inherited 30:35 – The moment God changed everything at Passion Conference 33:08 – Marriage, calling, and honoring your spouse 38:02 – What becoming a dad taught me about God 44:48 – Getting the call to perform on Broadway 47:26 – Ministry outside the four walls of the church 52:24 – Writing a book and not fearing your roar #InTheHuddle #ChristianSports #AthleteFaith #UniversityOfLouisville #FaithAndSports #PositiveLiving #SportsInterviews #Inspiration #FaithInAthletics #LouisvilleAthletes #ChristianAthletes #SportsAndFaith #UofLSports #LifeInTheHuddle #InspiringAthletes #FaithJourney #SportsCommunity #AthleteStories #PurposeDriven #TeamJesus #fca #christianity #Christianpodcast #jesus #bible #GOD
