Episode 34 - Faith, Leadership, & Legacy

In this episode, LJ Tucker welcomes his longtime pastor, Craig Altman of Grace Family Church, for a powerful conversation about faith, leadership, and legacy. Pastor Craig shares his unlikely journey from a self-described “hell raiser” in Tampa’s bar scene to giving his life to Christ in a pub after feeling God’s conviction. He explains how that moment transformed him, leading to decades of ministry and the growth of Grace from one small campus to multiple locations serving thousands across Tampa Bay. Together, they reflect on the importance of authenticity, daily spiritual nourishment beyond Sunday services, and using personal passions—whether preaching, parenting, or even barbecue—as ministry. The episode highlights how pursuing excellence, community, and consistency in faith not only strengthens families but also leaves a lasting legacy for generations.
