Go M.A.D.

Well it’s that time of the year where egg nog is spontaneously appearing on the shelves and ghost decorations are making simple trips to the store feel like entering a haunted house (I’m looking at you Home Depot). But today, Doug and Brad hit on something that scares most of us year round - the fear of failing as a parent. What if I mess up my kids? What do I do when I know I missed the mark? How...

Whether it’s a new movie, series, or news story, Christian media seems to be more relevant and more frequent than in past years. What do we do with this? Most of us are prone to two extremes: either an eye-rolling skepticism of all Christian media or a blind acceptance of anything with the name of Jesus slapped on it. Doug and Brad offer a way forward, especially as it relates to our ambassadorshi...

It’s part 2 of the Honor Challenge! In case you missed it, two episodes ago, Doug and Brad talked about being Christ’s ambassador at home by honoring our wives. They then promised to model said honoring in the next show. Well, we took a detour last episode to discuss Asbury University and revival (and you should definitely check out that episode if you haven’t yet), but now, as promised, Doug and...

If you take part in social media in any way, shape, or form, you’ve probably seen something about what’s going on at Asbury University in Kentucky.

It’s February. That may be your favorite or least favorite month, but either way, we’re glad you’re here. In this episode, Doug and Brad dive into their most romantic hallmark moments with their wives and it definitely does not turn into a competition. Doug also pitches an idea for locomotive-based Valentine’s cards. It’s really something. Maybe you saw marriage in the title and thought, “That’s n...

Welcome back to the podcast and welcome to the most wonderful time of the year. Today, we are discussing a topic that I think we all feel in some shape or form. Christmas traditions, decorations, Santa Claus, Advent - how do I know if I’m celebrating the right things too much or too little? And how can I be an ambassador for Christ in the middle of it? Doug and Brad share some thoughts and explain...

A cup of cold water at Christmas - you might be thinking, “Wouldn’t that just be ice?” To which we would respond, “Yes. But no.” After Doug ensures that we give our best non-spiritual gift giving stories, Doug and Brad dive into some practical steps for making a difference with our giving. Jesus told us that our heart will be where our treasure is and we want to take that seriously. Most of us are...

Today we ever-so-cautiously approach the age-old legend of the dad-bod. However, this episode is for people ALL shapes and sizes, men and women, young and old. Doug and Brad talk through working up to a dad-bod and working down to a dad-bod, but even more so, how our bodies are key in our lives as ambassadors for Christ. This episode is really practical, but not in a 3-steps-to-health-success kind...
