Go M.A.D.

When was the last time you thought of your favorite celebrity? OK, when was the last time you thought of your favorite celebrity…as a mission field?! Well, that’s exactly how our guest on this week’s episode looks at all those people in the spotlight – as souls Jesus loves, many of whom are headed for an eternity without Him. You absolutely have to meet Dylan Novak, the “Celebrity Evangelist”, a g...

What’s the secret of a great church? Is it as simple as good Bible teaching and worship music? Or is there more to it? Why do some churches feel warm and vibrant and others not so much? And, separate of having a huge budget and building, what can we realistically do to make a significant impact in our weekly “ambassador fuel” church gatherings? Join Doug, Brad, and Jesse on this important, fascina...

Loneliness among student-age young people in our world has become an epidemic. A dangerous, even deadly one.   According to the World Health Organization, student-age young people are by far "the loneliest demographic worldwide". They're feeling more lonely, isolated, and without hope for help than ever. All kids feel lonely, right? Is it really a big deal? Recent studies confirm th...

When you decide to follow Jesus, it changes everything. Especially your decisions. And wow, does life throw thousands of decisions at us! Some big, some seemingly small. Who should I marry? How will we raise our kids? What church will we go to? All big decisions. But there is one - one VITAL decision - that is perhaps the most important one a believer will ever make. It's a decision that does...

We've all been there. A nice conversation in person, a text thread, on social media then BAM...someone chimes in with a Scripture verse you suspect isn't being used the way the Bible author intended. It can derail a good conversation, especially if you're not quite sure how to respond. Join the guys on this timely episode about "Twisted Scripture: The 6 Most Misused Verses in t...

We've all been there. We know we should share the Gospel with someone we know but they seem totally not interested. Or they're kind of intimidating. Or, if we're being honest, we're just plain ol' scared of rejection or that we won't say the right thing or have all the answers. Join Doug, Brad, and special guest, "On Eagles Wings" leader and veteran Sabin Mi...

Turn up the volume! As our annual conference for hundreds of Native American young people is happening, , Brad interviewed Doug and Jesse about Warrior Worship - an ongoing music project focused on empowering Indigenous leaders and magnifying Jesus. Doug and Jesse talk about walking in God's will as they recount how Warrior Worship came into being, and how God has directed them along the way....

What is a Summer Book Bonanza? It's Doug, Brad and Jesse's grab-and-go list of books that shaped us, challenged us, and also made us laugh & think along the way.

The internet can drop one strange UFO clip into your feed and suddenly the questions are flying. But there's always been this fascination with what is 'out there'. So many feel like there must be more.  Whatever your view is about aliens or other unexplained phenomena, this episode is for you. Because whether the latest “unexplained aircraft” videos are a hoax, hidden tech, or somet...

The world feels like it’s spinning a little more out of control every week. And we can feel it impacting our hearts. We are faced with a choice. Will we let our hearts turn cold, even though we know cold hearts don’t reach hurting hearts?  Or, will we choose to stand firm and be bold, living a life of faith over fear and love over lashing out? Jesus followers + Bold hearts = world changers!  Join...

Have you ever had one of those unforgettable conversations? We definitely did as we sat down with Dr. Jerry Root, Wheaton College Professor Emeritus and longtime C.S. Lewis scholar.  Fear too often makes even the most faithful followers of Christ go silent. We feel the pressure to “say it right,” we worry about rejection, and one awkward moment can convince us we are not cut out for evangelism. Li...

This Easter, we take it back to a simpler time, before all the 'extras' we sometimes find added to celebrating the Resurrection. The Resurrection Story is packed with real people, real reactions, and real hope. And we can find ourselves in it! We each pick one person each from the life of Jesus and ask a question that cuts through the noise: where do I see myself? This episode is for eve...

Anxiety has a way of sneaking into normal life until it starts running the whole show. We’ve all felt that tight-chest, racing-thoughts pressure, and lately the reasons stack up fast: nonstop headlines, financial stress, parenting fears, comparison culture, and that nagging sense that control is slipping through our fingers. Doug, Ron and Jesse sit down for a candid, faith-forward conversation abo...

The Middle East. Israel. Unrest. A nation looking for a Messiah. How should an ambassador for Christ feel? How should we respond?  Our conversation with Dr. Mitch Glaser, president and CEO of Chosen People Ministries, traces a 132‑year arc of faith and compassion that still meets the moment—on New York streets, in Israeli bomb shelters, and across the feeds shaping Gen Z. If you want to be an effe...

The headlines are loud, the opinions are louder, and somewhere in the middle real people are getting reduced to talking points. We decided to step out of the political crossfire and talk about immigration the way ambassadors for Jesus should: with conviction anchored in compassion and a heart that refuses to grow cold. If your heart feels frayed by the news cycle, this conversation will help you g...

A headline drops, a heart sinks, and trust feels thinner than yesterday. When a leader falls, the pain is real, the ripple effects spread fast, and the questions don’t stop at the church door. In this episode, our guest, Ron Hutchcraft, joins us as we talk honestly about the recent news of another Christian leader's hurtful choices. It's not a conversation centered on the sin but about h...

On a scale from 1 to Grinch, where do you land this holiday season?

Heard the Christmas story a thousand times? So has Doug - or so he thinks. After some initial confusion over which Christmas story we're talking about, Brad, Doug, and Ron show us how to find ourselves by the manger at that first Christmas. No matter how well we think we know the Christmas story, the Hutchcrafts give us a fresh perspective on what Christmas means for us this year. C onnect wi...

What do we do with that one family member who is way too passionate about politics? Who's been...

In today's episode of Go M.A.D., the bros get personal. Doug, Brad, and Jesse (reluctantly) grade themselves on "4 Ways Real Men Make Women Feel." Yes, the grading system is a bit arbitrary, but the point is made: men have the opportunity to lead in a godly way. We just want to ask, "How am I doing with that?" Stay tuned and Go M.A.D.! C onnect with us on social media and...

We're back! And since we've decided that season 5 is always the best season of any show, you can expect great things in store.
