Go M.A.D.

First of all, congratulations to all graduates of college, high school, kindergarten and everything in between.

You’ll hear more about Ted in today’s interview, but if you’d like to help us further the Go M.A.D. move...

Today’s guest is none other than founder of the HowToLife Movement, Jordan Whitmer! We had Jordan on an episode last season, so it was great to catch up with him, especially to hear about his recent literal trip around the world.

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.

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...
