Episode 21

Rabbi Yonason Goldson on Grappling with the Gray

Imagine grasping the essence of ethical leadership while nurturing a sense of humility. Rabbi Yonason Goldson joins me in unraveling this delicate balance through Jewish teachings, inviting us to carry the paradoxical notes of our significance and modesty in the universe. We navigate the virtues that bind us, fostering a culture of trust and productivity, particularly resonant for parents and individuals on their journeys of personal growth. Yonason's rich background in Jewish philosophy and ethics sheds light on creating vibrant, ethical cultures in both professional and personal spaces.

The digital era: a double-edged sword that can both connect us and keep us apart. Together, Yonasan and I reflect on the impact of the global pandemic, our craving for deep connections, and the role of technology as a bridge in our isolated times. Personal stories, including experiences from Israel, illustrate our shared need for reflection and connection. We tackle the pressing issue of technology addiction, the tug-of-war within our brains, and the discipline required to find balance amidst life's relentless choices, emphasizing the importance of intentionality in every swipe, click, and interaction.

In the final chapters, we draw inspiration from historical figures like Jonathan Edwards, exploring how our everyday choices could ripple through generations, shaping legacies and fostering resilience. The conversation turns towards civility, personal purpose, and the transient nature of existence, urging us to act intentionally and leave a lasting mark.

Join us for this episode as Yonason Goldson reminds us to embrace the fleeting nature of time while striving for a greatness that transcends our temporal journey.

Steve Campbell

Hey there — I’m Steve Campbell. I’m a husband, dad to four amazing kids, follower of Jesus, and someone who wakes up every day wanting to help people live with more clarity, courage, and purpose.

Life has taught me that faith isn’t just something you talk about — it’s something you live, wrestle with, and anchor everything to. My relationship with Jesus shapes how I love my family, how I lead, how I speak, and how I show up for others. Every podcast, conversation, and connection I make starts there — from a place of grace, humility, and hope.

My Heart Behind The One Big Thing
I started The One Big Thing podcast because I believe each of us is created on purpose and for a purpose. We all carry something unique that can make a difference — not someday, but right now. Through the stories, lessons, and conversations on the podcast, my prayer is that you’ll discover the spark God placed in you and feel encouraged to take your next faithful step.

I don’t have all the answers — but I’ve learned that when you stay close to Jesus, stay curious, and keep moving forward, amazing things can unfold.

Beyond the Mic
At home, I’m just “Dad.” My wife and our four kids are my greatest joy and daily reminder of what really matters. They keep me grounded, laughing, and trusting God in the middle of the chaos and beauty of everyday life.

I’m passionate about encouraging others — whether through a podcast episode, a post, or a conversation over coffee. I believe that hope is contagious and that small, honest moments can change lives.

What You’ll Find Here
This space is about real stories, faith filled encouragement, and practical wisdom for life and leadership. My hope is that you don’t just listen — you feel seen, challenged, and reminded that you’re not alone.

If you’ve landed here, maybe it’s not by accident. Maybe God’s nudging you toward your next “one big thing.” I’m glad you’re here — let’s walk it out together.
