The Daron Earlewine Podcast

Greg Cooper is a former broadcaster in Indianapolis and is now a Realtor Extraordinaire. Greg had been in the radio business for about 10 years and was an air-born radio traffic reporter for two years when his helicopter crashed. That brush with death didn't scare him off, though. It was the second crash (yes, you read that correctly), that took him out of the broadcasting game. Through some searc...

This Behind the Mic episode is all about the f-word. Lots of f-words, actually. Pastor Daron had a pastoral hay day creating a sentence full of Fs. Fear. That's the f-word that may be running your life right now, when in reality, our best chance at living our best lives is when we let the facts inform our faith and allow our emotions to trail behind. This episode is a game-changer if you're moving...

"Maybe my purpose isn't something I need to find, because it isn't something that's actually lost." Today's guest on the Born to Be interview of the Radio Theology podcast is author, speaker, and entrepreneur Jordan Lee Dooley. Jordan's book, Own Your Every Day, seeks to answer the most common question she receives online -- How do I find my purpose? One of the many gifts her mom gave her growing...

In this episode of Behind the Mic, Pastor Daron dropped this truth bomb, "I don't think you can consistently make the difficult choices and allow them to become positive habits if you're not chasing a compelling and life-altering purpose that it's in sync with who God is and what he's inviting us into as His kids." Pastor Daron, Ryan, and Lisa all share ideas about how to chase down your why, use...

In this episode of Radio Theology, Pastor Daron, Ryan, and Lisa talk about how a string of small choices (good or bad) turn into habits, which eventually becomes your lifestyle! So, if you're envisioning a future for yourself that requires some change, it'll start with the small choices you make day in and day out. Other topics include March Madness (not the tournament, but the complete lack of ra...

In this episode of Behind the Mic, Pastor Daron, Ryan, and Lisa talk about the purpose of lent and the necessity of self-denial. The team got pretty real about the struggles to say no to the three major temptations – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Plus, they chatted about why we feel like life is a competition, and how we can be inspired by someone and cheer th...

An obvious answer could be: NOTHING! The more accurate answer that the Radio Theology team landed on in this show was that self-denial is not only great, it's necessary in becoming the person God created you to be. Pastor Daron dropped ALL. THE. TRUTH. BOMBS. (Like this: "If you say yes to everything you feel or everything you think or everything you want to do, you're going to find life telling y...

Phew, deep questions for a pretty deep episode of Behind the Mic, where Pastor Daron, Ryan, and Lisa admitted that if the halls of their middle schools could talk, they would basically claim that as truth. Your worth and value come from other people's opinions of you. You probably won't be surprised to know that we all struggle with that lie even today. The good news is, this episode is also chock...

A million dollars? A billion dollars? For the Radio Theology team, it's $0. You couldn't pay Pastor Daron, Ryan, or Lisa enough to revisit the anxiety-inducing moments in junior high. Why? Because opinions were everything then. Sometimes (probably more often than we want to admit) they are everything now, too. In this episode, you'll hear some funny 7 th grade memories from the cast AND learn what...

What starts as a conversation about Mr. Rogers' advice to just be kind launches Pastor Daron, Ryan, and Lisa into an eye-opening dialogue. No matter who you are, you have an us vs. them. We all do!

Most of us take the easy way out,...

Whoa, now THAT'S a question. One that the Radio Theology team asked in this episode. Lots of us (ahem, Pastor Daron) don't even know what we want to order at restaurants, let alone what we want out of life. The good news is that this question (and answer) are not a surprise to God. Because He's near you, for you, and has created you on purpose and for a purpose, as your relationship grows, He'll c...

This episode features Danyele Easterhaus, Executive Director of Student Impact in Westfield, IN. Danyele drops some TRUTH on us from the very beginning. Her story is incredible and the work she's doing now with the Student Impact house called The Rock is as awe-in...

Is God really listening? Is it ok to even ask that? Yes and yes. Life is hard and relationships are complicated. Last week, Pastor Daron, Ryan, and Lisa talked about how we keep making messes over and over, and how we need to run back to God over and over again. The same message rings true in this episode, as they discuss Demi Lovato's vulnerable and breathtaking Grammy performance, the life of Ko...

The Radio Theology team is all over the place in this show.

Lisa gets a bead stuck in her ear. Pastor Daron has some advice for Christians, and Ryan mak...

Do you keep spinning out in the Nascar race of life? (Just shake your head yes, because we all do!) We keep making the same messes over and over again.

The meaning of names was the name of the game in this week's episode of Behind the Mic. Daron, Ryan, and Lisa dig a little deeper into how our culture of convenient (and surface-level) communication translates into our view of communicating with God. What emotions do we feel when God speaks to us? How do you interpret His tone when you're reading the Bible? It's easy to view God's tone through the...

Buckle up for this week's episode of Radio Theology! Right off the bat, Lisa shares what she overheard while using a public restroom and the boys have a hay day with all the restroom humor. Thankfully, things take a turn as the team dissects why certain names that pop up on text alerts elicit some type of emotion in us – good, bad, or ugly, and how that translates into how we receive God's "texts"...
