Show by Ron Creech
Welcome to the very first official episode of Next Rung Radio Podcast, where every rung on the ladder is another step toward purpose, power, and resilience. To kick off this journey, we’re joined by country artist and survivor Cayden Gillard — a man who embodies what it means to rise through adversity. From a leukemia diagnosis at just 14, to picking up a guitar in a hospital room, to chasing rodeo dreams, breaking bones, and eventually breaking through in the music industry — Cayden’s story is one of grit, grace, and God’s guiding hand. He’s opened for superstars, racked up millions of streams, and stood in the spotlight, but what truly sets him apart is how he continues to show up stronger, more grounded, and more faithful, one rung at a time.This episode is about more than survival, it’s about transformation. Cayden’s testimony reminds us that challenges aren’t roadblocks, they’re stepping stones. Through faith, resilience, and a relentless will to keep climbing, he’s turned hardship into harmony and setbacks into setups for success. His journey proves that no matter where you’re starting from, there’s always another rung waiting — and with faith, you’ll find the strength to reach it.To learn more about Cayden visit https://www.cadengillard.com/Support the show
