March or Die

What does it really mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ? Those that have been around church for any length of time, have undoubtedly heard the term or even been a part of the process called "discipleship". But what does it really mean to be a disciple and how does that apply to our lives today? My guest on The March or Die Show today is Dennis Allen. Dennis has a diverse background  having served as six-time Chief Executive Officer specializing in “turnarounds” for Wall Street-backed corporations. Dennis works and speaks with businesses, universities, churches, and conferences focusing on leadership and discipleship. Dennis serves today on boards, in business and charity leadership roles. As well as his efforts in churches of all sizes – megas, mids, and startups – as an elder, deacon, and teacher. A combat-rated Air Force F-15 fighter pilot, and an alumnus of the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics. Throughout his career Dennis has been involved in a number of churches and has noticed a disturbing trend: Many Christians and regular church attendees are either unable or unwilling to share their faith outside of the walls of their church! This has led to an alarming percentage of young people walking away from the faith that was a part of their growing up lives. These observations along with a mountain of research supporting these findings led Dennis to write the book, "The Disciple Dilemma." This is an extremely important conversation for every follower of Christ and for anyone seeking to understand how we can TRULY impact the world around us with the Hope of a relationship with God.

 All of us, to one degree or another, have experienced the often crippling emotions of fear and anxiety. Togher these can not only prevent us from moving forward, but can steal our ability to live the life God created us to live.

My guest on today's episode of The March or Die Show, Dr. Roger Hall, helps us to understand the important role that mental discipline plays in addressing negative thoughts and emotions.

One area that we do not focus on enough is the mental health challenges of those working in the First Responder community. Dealing daily with traumatic and potentially dangerous situations, years of shift work and mandatory overtime all contribute to high levels of anxiety, depression, often suicide among those who keep us safe. Thankfully, these challenges, as well as resources and solutions, are finally being recognized and increasingly prioritized by police and fire departments. I am thankful to be able to have that conversation on todays episode of The March or Die Show with my good friend Danny Coon. Danny is a retired Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy who has turned his focus to the many challenges facing our First Responders. Through his blog, new book, and regular media appearances he is not only raising awareness, but pointing to solutions for those who are struggling. This episode is for anyone who serves their community in uniform and for those of us who want to know how to support them.

How do we move from a place of Guilt and Shame to a place of Freedom and Redemption? And what does Ultra Running have to do with it? And, more importantly, do I have to be an Ultra Runner to experience Freedom and Redemption? Obviously we do not experience redemption through running, but there are lessons that can be learned about overcoming Guilt and Shame when we commit to doing hard things. Redemption comes through a relationship with Christ, and continuing in that freedom requires a commitment to continual forward movement regardless of the obstacles in front of or the traumas behind us. Such a great conversation with todays guest Kyle Kraeft. Kyle is a top level Ultra Runner with an incredible personal story of struggle and redemption.
