22 MAY. 2025 · Welcome back to the Stand Up Dude Podcast! In this gripping episode, your hosts Tim Bisagno and Stewart White have a raw, real, and hope-filled conversation with Michael Molthan—formerly one of the nation’s top luxury home builders, now a passionate recovery advocate, faith-filled motivator, and host of the M2 The Rock show.
Men, if you’ve ever hit rock bottom, battled addiction, struggled with hidden pain, or felt like you’re trying to climb out of a pit you can’t escape—this is YOUR episode. Michael gets honest about his journey from childhood trauma and high-flying career success, to 27 arrests, homelessness, and ultimately, a prison cell where his life was radically changed by the grace of Jesus Christ.
If you’re a man who’s tired of quick fixes, religious clichés, or just going through the motions, we invite you to hear how redefining “rock bottom” led Michael—and can lead you—to the true foundation: relationship with Christ and becoming the man you’re made to be.
What You’ll Experience in This Episode:
• Michael’s dramatic testimony: From family trauma, addiction, and 27 mug shots to radical rescue and restored purpose
• Real talk on shame, brokenness, and the traps men fall into (even “successful” men)
• How prison and a simple act of service kickstarted a journey to faith and freedom—even when surrounded by murderers and outcasts
• Why forgiveness (for yourself and others) is the breakthrough you’re craving • Redefining “rock bottom”—Discovering God in your lowest moment, trading performance for freedom
• Dealing with fatherlessness, identity issues, and breaking generational cycles • Why EVERY man is an addict—and how to finally get free from strongholds, not just cover them up
• Powerful, practical steps for finding a mentor, becoming a spiritual leader, and taking back your home
• An invitation to start (or restart) your walk with Jesus—honestly, humbly, and right where you are
• How to join a brotherhood of men who are becoming sons, fathers, and leaders God’s way
And so much more.
If you’re searching for answers, feel like you keep falling short, or just want to learn what it means to step up as a man—don’t miss this bold call to purpose and freedom.

- Nathaniel’s calling to set the table for other men: the story behind True North Retreats
- Practical steps for making space for God in the chaos, hearing His voice, and letting Him father you

Let us know in the comments how this episode impacted you, and don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more content that challenges and inspires you to live boldly for Christ.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Join us on this episode of the Stand Up Dude Podcast as we sit down with Brock Gill, a former world-renowned illusionist turned motorcycle missionary. Brock shares his incredible journey of full surrender to God’s calling, from performing magic tricks, illusions, and stunts on global stages to riding motorcycles across the country and around the world to spread the Gospel.
In this powerful conversation, Brock opens up about:
- How he transitioned from a 26-year career as an illusionist to a life of adventure and ministry on two wheels.
- The moment God whispered to him during a cross-country motorcycle ride, leading him to start Moto Mission, a ministry that combines his love for motorcycles with evangelism.
- The challenges of leaving behind a successful career and stepping into the unknown, trusting God’s plan even when it didn’t make sense.
- His recent mission to Ukraine, where he rode motorcycles, shared the Gospel, and even gave away a bike to a man who had been praying for one.
- The importance of hearing God’s voice and how to discern His direction in your life, even when it feels risky or unconventional.
- Brock also teases his upcoming book, "The Adventurist: Full Surrender, All Adventure", where he dives deeper into his story and the lessons he’s learned about faith, surrender, and living a life of purpose.
Whether you’re a believer, a seeker, or just someone who loves a good adventure story, this episode will inspire you to tune in to God’s voice and take bold steps of faith.
Key Takeaways:
- Full Surrender: Brock’s story is a testament to what happens when you fully surrender to God’s plan, even when it means leaving behind what’s comfortable.
- Adventure in Faith: Faith isn’t just about belief—it’s about stepping into the unknown and trusting God to lead the way.
- Hearing God’s Voice: Learn how to discern God’s voice through scripture, community, and the opportunities He places in your path.
