The Fringe Podcast
The Fringe Podcast is where raw storytelling meets real-life transformation. Blending the heart of a sermon, the depth of a documentary, and the soul of authentic conversation, this podcast dives headfirst into the stories that matter most—stories of hope, struggle, faith, and unexpected redemption.
Hosted by Patrick and Sarah Davis, founders of The Fringe Church, each episode features thought-provoking interviews with guests from all walks of life—from the overlooked to the extraordinary. Together, they explore the gritty, beautiful intersections of belief, doubt, justice, community, and second chances.
We believe in substance over hype, raw authenticity and vulnerability and that ables are better than fences. Resurrection isn’t just possible—it’s happening, everywhere, all the time.
Whether you're deconstructing, rebuilding, or just searching for something real, The Fringe Podcast invites you to sit down, lean in, and stay curious.

The Fringe Podcast | Episode 17 From the Dugout to the Pulpit: How a Career-Ending Injury Led to a Greater Calling
What happens when the dream dies—but the calling is just beginning?
In this raw and honest conversation, we sit down with former professional baseball player, Curtus Moak, who was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds, only to have his career abruptly cut short by injury. But that devastating loss didn’t end his story—it redirected it.
Now the lead pastor of a non-denominational, charismatic church, he opens up about taking over a decades-old church culture, the tension of leading into a new generation, and the unshakable lessons he learned in the wilderness. We talk about marriage, identity, spiritual authority, burnout, and what it really means to follow Jesus in 2025.
🔥 You’ll hear:
What baseball taught him about pastoring
How you honor the old while building something new
The cost of changing church culture
And why the church still matters today
This isn’t just a story of leadership—it’s a story of loss, grit, growth, and resurrection.
