Upholding truth, embracing courage, and leading with love.

Subscribe to this Podcast

Benjamin Watson and Geoff Duncan, former Georgia lieutenant governor, ex–pro baseball pitcher, entrepreneur, and author of GOP 2.0, talk about truth, courage, and leading with love. Geoff shares how his faith matured from “inherited” to personal, why he chose to call balls and strikes after 2020, and what it cost. They unpack his “honest umpire” approach, character in the Oval Office, rebuilding trust through policy-first problem solving, and practical justice: education, economic mobility, and dignifying our neighbors across party lines. Duncan also reflects on his DNC speech, being expelled by the GOP, and what kind of America he hopes to hand his three sons.
