In Episode 191 of The Jesus & Jiu-Jitsu Podcast, Isaac and Kramer sit down with BJJ black belt competitor and entrepreneur Tristan Gazelle. Tristan shares his powerful testimony—from growing up agnostic to getting radically saved, walking out faith in marriage, and realizing that Christians don't have to enter vocational ministry to do Kingdom work. We dive deep into marketplace ministry, biblical generosity and tithing, overcoming habitual sin, and how training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu builds discipline and connection that points people back to Christ. Tristan also breaks down his grappling journey under coaches like Yousef and Buddy Clinton, favorite takedowns, and his work with Gazelle Protection Group and Porrada Fuel. Whether you're an entrepreneur, grappler, or believer looking to live out your faith boldly in everyday life, this conversation offers real encouragement and practical wisdom. 00:00 - Welcome & introducing Tristan Gazelle 02:48 - Seeing God work in everyday encounters 07:12 - Sponsor shoutouts: Stephen Mosski & Jocko Fuel 08:00 - Tristan's testimony: from agnostic to radical salvation 17:05 - Life after salvation & walking in obedience 24:10 - Pleasure vs. true enjoyment (C.S.
