The Daron Earlewine Podcast

Even if you don't have a word of the year, this episode is most surely worth a listen. Daron and Lisa explain how they came to choose their words of the year. Even though Ryan can't get over the "faddiness" of the words on keys, even he couldn't argue with the team as they reminded you that God has created you on purpose and for a purpose. Leaning into that purpose, asking God to speak to you, and...

The Radio Theology cast is back together again, talking New Year's resolutions (protein shakes, weight-lifting gloves, and words for the year). Plus, they talk about Daron's holiday trip to LA, and Erwin McManus's quote that says, "You can't plan for the life God has for you, you can only prepare for it." Not sure what season you're in? The Radio Theology cast can help you out in this conversation...

Has anyone ever explained Jesus to you? Did they compare Him to Santa Claus? Do you need to change your mind about what you've heard? Daron and Ryan play Jordy Searcy's full song "Explaining Jesus" and unpack the differences between how He is explained and how He is experienced. 

Is the "big guy" Santa Claus or is God? Is Jesus a misunderstood Christmas gift? Oh and who is Krampus? These questions (and more) are answered by the Radio Theology team with the help of Butterscotch, the elf, and our favorite German, Hans.  This is the full show that aired on 12/15/19 on 99.5 WZPL.

Buckle up for this episode of Behind the Mic. The Radio Theology crew takes a deeper dive than usual into the topic of our apparent national existential crisis. What does it mean? Why does it matter? And what does it say about the progression of our culture? Lisa opens up (and tears up!) about walking through some of her own "identity crisis" and where she finds God in it all. And they wrap up wit...

The 2019 Word of the Year is existential. Even the college-degree-holding Radio Theology crew had to look it up to make sure they knew what it meant. But what's more surprising is what it says about our culture right now. Daron, Ryan, and Lisa talk toss that around, reminisce about the good ole days, and remind you that God is for you, not against you. He's near to you, not far away, and He has cr...

The best soil usually has a lot of manure in it, and when it doesn't, you actually take the leftovers and the garbage and you compost it, and then you mix it with actual manure. And it makes the soil fertile and good to grow. Maybe you're looking around at your life right now and all you can see is piles of manure or maybe you feel like a leftover. You've made decisions or decisions have been made...

Holy December 1 st , Batman! Time has flown by in 2019, and maybe you're like the Radio Theology crew, who spent an embarrassing amount of time on social media! You'll never believe how much (read: how little) time Lisa spent in the Bible app. Plus, we talk Disney+, Thanksgiving leftovers, and Lisa's insane morning with her two-year-old (spoiler alert: there is an entire bag of flour AND poop in t...

How does it feel to hear you can't eat most of the trappings of the Thanksgiving meal? Ryan's answer might surprise you. And more importantly, the reason behind the answer may cause you to question some of the unexpected changes and challenges in your own life. Lisa also drops the truth bomb that perfection doesn't usher in gratitude, so as you prepare your Thanksgiving feasts, look for perspectiv...

Boom. Powerful question right off the bat from Pastor Daron this week, as the Radio Theology team digests (pun intended) Ryan's new diet mandated from his doctor and Lisa admits that mashed potatoes and gravy are her love language. We talk Thanksgiving feasts and family, and what sets Thanksgiving apart from any other Thursday dinner! This is the full show that aired on 11/24/19 on 99.5 WZPL.

On this week's episode of Behind the Mic, Lisa's birthday week has her reflecting on 2019 with both joy and pain. Plus, the crew dives into the power of an invitation, what to do about your loneliness, and how to become a master of the margin in your life. As always, we hope you find a dash of inspiration to continue becoming who you were created to be. Your life matters, friend, and you are loved...

Another week, another epic Radio Theology show where faith, hope, love, and music reigned supreme…along with Lisa's irrational fear of sleeping in her wedding ring (seriously?!?!), Friendsgiving shenanigans (including a call from a runaway turkey and a very outraged farmer), and a Lisa's Pieces that actually had Ryan shouting, "I wish I had a uterus!" Plus, don't miss two new segments – Kids ASK t...

Well, that's good news, isn't it? In this episode of Behind the Mic, Lisa shares the WHY behind her Buddy-the-Elf Christmas decorating blitz. Spoiler Alert: it was because she needed to FEEL the joy and hope of Christmas RIGHT NOW. The team also talks through stress management and why some people seem to thrive as they manage stress and others seem to have their stress managing them. No matter wha...

This week's show topic found the Radio Theology team at odds with each other as they debated the hot topic of how early is too early for all things Christmas! Ryan and Lisa gave it all they had, so you'll have to listen to find out if they were able to sway Pastor Daron. Lisa also shared about her good intentions with No-Spend November, and why sometimes the all-or-nothing mentality just doesn't w...

In this week's Behind the Mic, the Radio Theology crew talks about how, like Kanye, we're all just doing the best we can. Plus, they dive into why it is hard to see and remember that as we stay on the road to getting healthy, we are growing. Ryan shares how God spoke to him at a recent singing gig, and Lisa talks about how she can look back and see God's faithfulness in the past, and pray with fai...

If you've been on social media this week, you've probably seen something about Kanye West's new album, Jesus is King. He's also catching lots of heat, especially from Christians. The Radio Theology crew talks about how we're all a work in progress, and that's kind of the point of a relationship with Jesus. Our goal is to stay on the road toward health instead of wish for instant healing. Plus, lis...

We got to the deep end of the pool quickly on this episode of Behind the Mic. Lisa shared how some grief from the past surprised her with a tsunami of pain in the past few weeks. Ryan confessed that he strives to achieve greatness in order to avoid pain, and the team talked candidly about what it actually looks like to give your pain to Jesus and trust that He sits in it with you. Guys, don't miss...

This week on Radio Theology, Pastor Daron, Ryan, and Lisa embarked on a great debate – To Cry or Not to Cry…that was the question. We also encountered several guests throughout the show, from our resident Holiday History expert, Dr. Horatio Wigglebottom, Ph. D. to Cooper, Millennial Life Coach from Carmel. Ray Hilbert from Truth at Work shared the stellar lineup for their upcoming conference, and...

In this episode of Behind the Mic, Ryan tells the story of when he accidentally trespassed in some Sorority Sister hotel room, Pastor Daron admits to struggling with regret on some of the chapters of his life, and Lisa talks about the perseverance it takes to focus on the joy of the goal instead of the pain of the process.

Forgiveness was the theme of the day, as we tackled the wildly different outcomes of two men – a bicycle seat thief and a meth addict who vandalized a church. One man ended up in captivity, and the other in freedom. Who's who and what does it have to do with you? Take a listen. Also in this episode, we talk about why Lisa's scared of Halloween, what it feels like to be lost on a marathon course in...
