  • Being a MAN In And Out Of Relationships, Exploring Islam But Why Choose Christianity, And More - MaateCast Ep 19
    Aug 12 2024

    THE MAATES ARE BACK AGAIN, this time in a never before seen location - THE AMAZON FOREST (sounds cooler than our local creek)!!

    This episode is extremely special, not just for that reason, but also because the boys come in with some HEAT — topic wise — talking in depth about their current religious beliefs, and also the importance of being a MAN in and out of relationships. The boys look to impart their wisdom from the last few years of learning into the younger generation of viewers.

    We truly hope you enjoy :)

  • Steve Weatherford: Superbowl Championship Wasn’t Enough, Crazy Encounters With God, Sexually Harassed, Hugging Obama, Logan Paul Fail, - MaateCastEp15
    Sep 22 2023

    Joining the Maates on this week's episode of the Maatecast is the one and only Steve Weatherford! Steve is easily the biggest guest so far... physically and statistically! He's a Superbowl WORLD Champion, 2 times NFL's Fittest Man, and Cover of Muscle And Fitness Magazine, but it's his love for Jesus and incredible testimony that has led him to find absolute joy and fulfilment in life.

    The boys discuss Steve's upbringing and childhood that led to the strong mental mindset he needed to become an NFL superstar, but also how that mindset devoured his life and became his idol. Additionally, they discuss where God was throughout the highs and lows of Steve's career, and a moment with God that changed his life forever.
