Episode 298 | Faith, Fatherhood, and Finishing Strong: Derrick McBride’s Story

Nov 11, 2025 | Conversations with Trailblazers

In this What’s Your Story episode, Alex talks with his longtime friend Derrick “DMac” McBride, former K-State and Evangel University athlete, educator, coach, and author. Derrick shares his journey of faith, family, and perseverance as a single father raising his son while modeling what it means to be a godly man in today’s world. From the football field to fatherhood, he reflects on lessons learned, the power of community, and the importance of discipline, love, and legacy. His story is a heartfelt reminder that being a dad is more than a role—it’s a calling to lead with strength, humility, and grace.
