Faith, Family, & Football: A Holistic Perspective on Purpose, Preparation, and Performance with Host of “The NFL Today” on CBS, James “JB” Brown, Ep. 190
September 10, 2024 - 41 min
With the first weekend of the 2024 NFL season behind us, we wanted to bring on a familiar face that could give us not only an inspirational story and testimony of faith, but also someone who has their pulse on the sporting arena and its impact on everyday life. If you’re an NFL fan you’ll know our guest well. Joining us today is James Brown or as most would call him, JB. James Brown is the current host of “The NFL Today” on CBS and "Inside The NFL" on Showtime. A three-time Emmy Award-winning network broadcaster, Brown, who was elected into the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame in August 2020, has hosted the Super Bowl a record setting ten times including Super Bowl 55 on CBS. In 2010, SI.com named Brown the Best Studio Host of the Decade. Brown is a Special Correspondent for CBS News and contributes to programs such as “60 Minutes”, “CBS This Morning”, “CBS Evening News” and “48 Hours”. He is also a founding partner of Major League Baseball’s 2019 World Series Champion Washington Nationals. Among numerous honors, Brown most recently received the 2016 Pete Rozelle Award by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which recognizes “longtime exceptional contributions to radio and television in professional football", and “The Uncommon Award” from Tony Dungy for his “uncommon leadership through character and faith.” Brown was a 2010 honoree as one of the “Faces of Black History” celebrating Black Media Legends who have impacted the Black community through their achievements and positive examples and was honored with the Greater Washington Urban League’s Sam Lacy Award in 2005. Brown was also the first recipient of the coveted Pat Summerall Award presented annually during Super Bowl weekend. The incredible thing about this interview is that many know and are familiar with the accolades and professional career of JB, but not many are familiar with his personal testimony and the strong and devout faith He has in Christ which rests as the foundation and bedrock of his life. We hope and pray this conversation around all things faith, football, and family would excite you for this upcoming NFL season but would more importantly encourage you for the days ahead.

Fall Kickoff: Revival Night Hosted by Football Players at The Ohio State University with Former Star Running Back, Master Teague III, Ep. 189
September 3, 2024 - 50 min
There seems to be a hunger and thirst for truth and the good news of the gospel spreading rampantly throughout the nation, but especially on college campuses. Many have seen the UNITE US revival nights that have taken place across several SEC college campuses, but on Sunday, August 25th, there was another unique and powerful event as current and former Ohio State football players held a Fall Kickoff gathering at the campus’s courtyard in College Green Park. They described the event as “An Invitation to Jesus.” The event reportedly drew more than 2,000 students and people from the community and resulted in a time of worship, testimonies, salvations, and baptisms. To share of all that happened and how God’s presence fell all over this special occasion, former star running back at The Ohio State University and one of the leaders who heavily contributed to the inception of this event, Master Teague III joined us for a special conversation that you’re not going to want to miss! Master shares how God was in the details of this event, as well as all that happened at the Fall Kickoff gathering. Additionally, Master reflects back on some of his favorite life lessons, memories, and ways in which he learned to personalize his faith during his college days! It’s evident that God is not only doing something special on the campus and in the football locker-room at The Ohio State University, but God is also doing a Mighty Work in and through Master Teagues heart and life!

Impacting Culture: The New Release of Reagan & a Look Behind the Scenes at Dennis Quaid’s Personal Faith & Everyday Life, Ep. 188
August 27, 2024 - 27 min
There’s no question that we live in unprecedented times. Everywhere one looks, they can easily find division and chaos. However, it was in similar circumstances years ago where a story arose of how one man who overcame the odds, sustained by the love of a woman who supported him in his journey could bring unity and resilience throughout a nation. From 1981 through 1989, Ronald Reagan led a great American comeback. He not only achieved what his critics said would be impossible; he made it seem easy. His leadership transformed a sputtering U.S. economy into a rocket of growth that led to a generation of prosperity. Through it all, he revived America’s spirit, restored our hopes, and strengthened our faith. Thankfully, we get the opportunity of reliving this story of hope and redemption through the big screens as the new film, REAGAN, releases this Friday, August 30th nation wide. Joining us today to not only provide us with insight on this new film, but also give us a glimpse of his personal life and faith is one of the most resounding actors of our day and age, Dennis Quaid! Dennis is an Emmy and Golden Globe nominee best known for his roles in The Rookie, The Day After Tomorrow, The Parent Trap and many more. A household name, his work has spanned multiple generations of beloved films. In addition to acting, Dennis is also a musician, releasing multiple albums and is currently promoting a new Gospel album titled Fallen: A Gospel Record for Sinners. And today, we’re going to be discussing Dennis’s most recent endeavor - staring in the new Film, Reagan… Dennis said playing Ronald Reagan was one of the greatest honors of his life as he was inspired by the many parallels between each of their lives. I pray this conversation would encourage you as you hear a behind the scenes look into the professional and personal life of one of the world’s favorite actors.

The Power of Resilience: Embracing Forgiveness on Your Healing Journey with Renowned Columnist & Broadcaster, Carrie Sheffield, Ep. 187
August 20, 2024 - 49 min
There’s no question that resilience is rooted in relationship - with God and with others. Joining us today for an impactful discussion is someone who has experienced and endured a lot of pain, trauma, and suffering in life, yet by the grace of God has also experienced triumph, joy, and a testimony of resilience. Joining us today is Carrie Sheffield! Carrie is a columnist and broadcaster in Washington D.C. who earned a full-tuition Harvard scholarship, managed billions of dollars in risk at Wall Street firms, and competed in a Miss USA system beauty pageant. A journalist and former White House correspondent, she challenged the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and testified as an economic expert before the US Congress. Carrie achieved all this while overcoming a life of extreme poverty and psychological, spiritual, and sexual abuse. A recovered agnostic, Carrie eventually found peace and anchoring in Christianity, and today we’ll be unpacking her most recent book, Motorhome Prophecies as we discuss her journey toward healing, forgiveness, and freedom. We hope and pray that this conversation would remind you that God has hard-wired each and every one of us with the power to rise above and overcome!

Keys to Enhancing Your Mental Health: A Faith-Based Approach to Mental Health Care, Medication, & Decision Making with Renowned Speaker, Author, & Psychiatrist, Dr. Karl Benzio, Ep. 186
August 13, 2024 - 52 min
There’s no question that we are in the midst of a mental health disaster in our country and world today. Statistics have revelaed that issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, and suicide have sored to levels that we have never seen before. Yet, sadly there continues to be a large gap between those needing help and those receiving help. One of the reasons as to why that gap exists continues to be the shame and stigma around mental health care. Many unfortunately, even within faith-based communities, continue to believe the lie that one’s brokenness is equivalent to embarrassment or humiliation. However, as today’s guest reminds us, psychology and theology should not be enemies but instead viewed as allies, because if we do not prioritize our mental health, we may very well be stunting our spiritual health throughout the process. Joining us today is Karl Benzio, MD, a Christian psychiatrist who is board-certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Dr. Karl has held several health system clinical director and management positions to infuse his unique integration of spiritual faith with science to treat thousands. In addition, he writes, consults, and serves as a frequent media guest expert and conference speaker addressing the impact of a wide range of behavioral health issues and how to bring God’s healing to individuals, families, society, and social policy issues. Our prayer is that through today’s conversation you would realize that true change is not simply found in behavior modification but more importantly is found through spiritual transformation.

Winning at Love: Learning How to Overcome Complacency and Enhance Your Intimacy with Authors, Speakers, & Relationship Experts Chuck & Ashley Elliott, Ep. 185
August 7, 2024 - 61 min
Recently, I was officiating a beautiful summer wedding when at the reception the Father of the Groom gave his toast to the couple and made a statement that stuck with me. He said, “Marriage won’t always be easy, but it’s also not that complicated. PURSUE each other every day and good things will happen.” As I sat and marinated on that statement, I began to recognize the truth in his words. When we stop pursuing and choosing one another, we allow footholds to take place in our lives and in our relationships. In other words when we begin prioritizing other things, getting distracted, or simply growing complacent - we create a recipe for losing at love. However, as my friend’s dad reminded us, although it may not always be easy, with God it is always possible! Joining us today to help your life, relationships, and marriage step into that possibility is a wonderful couple who love walking alongside of the broken hearted to help them live a life of abundance, Chuck & Ashley Elliott. Chuck and Ashley are authors, speakers and content creators who have partnered with YouVersion, RightNow Media, The American Association of Christian Counselors, and an array of other national organizations. They also serve as advisory board members for the AACC’s International Christian Coaching Association. Frequent speakers and popular workshop leaders, their numerous certifications in psychoeducational programs equip them to help others build relational success. My friends, no matter your relationship status, this is a conversation that will equip you to look, live, love, and lead more like Christ from the inside out!

Man Up: Allowing God to Use Your Pain & Past for His Glory with Former Professional Wrestling Superstar and Renowned Evangelist, Nikita Koloff, Ep. 184
July 30, 2024 - 36 min
Nikita Koloff, better known as the "Russian Nightmare," stormed the wrestling world as few others have in the history of the sport. Imposing, immovable, and unbeatable, Nikita left a trail of fallen opponents as he brought the Cold War that loomed over the globe into the ring. From a hard-scrabble beginning to rings around the world, Nikita Koloff filled arenas, thrilled fans, and captured five world titles in the process. And then, when he was at the top of his game, he walked away from the sport. Little did he know that 11 months later, on October 17, 1993, he would find himself at an altar surrendering his life to Jesus. This encounter changed everything, including, his heart, his attitude, his focus, his mindset, and his destiny. Fast forward all these years later, he has now preached in approximately 1200 churches, 28 different denominations, as well as traveled to all 50 states and 30 countries. Our prayer is that as you hear this inspiring testimony of how God performed "heart surgery" on Nikita, that you too would realize that Jesus is the only One who can truly satisfy your soul, and no matter how far gone you may feel, you’re never out of His reach.

Bringing a Resilient Mindset to the Big Game of Life: Lessons to Overcome from a World Series Champion with Texas Rangers 3rd Base Coach, Tony Beasley, Ep. 183
July 23, 2024 - 32 min
We’ve all heard the words of James 1:2 which remind us to, “Consider it pure joy my brothers and sisters when you face trials of many kinds.” But let’s be honest there are moments where life is just flat out painful, and as the infamous movie character, Rocky Balboa, once taught us, “life will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it.” There are moments where it seems like no one hits as hard as life does. But then Rocky’s words shift to encouraging us that, “it’s not about how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward… how much you can take and keep moving forward.” Sometimes all it takes is a shift in perspective to realize that we’re never out of the fight. You see happiness is external, but joy is internal. Joy is a fruit of the spirit, and as our guest today reminds us, although there are moments that may seem difficult and challenging, we get the opportunity to surrender our burdens to the Lord and give control over to the Holy Spirit allowing His joy to then invade and flow through us. Today’s guest is a man who, like all of us, is no stranger to challenge or adversity having endured plenty of painful and waiting seasons along his journey thus far. Our Built Different Guest today is the 3rd base coach for the 2023 World Series Champion Texas Rangers as well as the 2024 American League All-Star Team, Coach Tony Beasley!! To know Coach Beasley is to love him. This man is an incredible leader and truly possesses an unwavering and contagious joy that is a direct reflection of the Lord dwelling within him. In and throughout this episode Coach Beasley discusses how we can TRAIN for our TRIALS, the importance of fixating on God’s promises rather than our problems, and some of the lessons he learned through some of the hardest seasons of his life. Trust us, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss!

Single Today: Learning How to Thrive & Be Content No Matter Your Relationship Status with Teaching Pastor at Red Rocks Austin & Best-Selling Author, Ryan Wekenman, Ep. 182
July 16, 2024 - 35 min
Let’s be honest, there are several unique challenges singleness can bring in society and culture today. From the ‘hook-up’ culture we are seeing, to the trauma of attachment wounds, fear of commitment, loneliness, and more, singleness can at times be a very difficult season of life to navigate let alone appreciate. However, our guest today believes that singleness isn’t a curse to endure. Rather, it’s a gift to enjoy, even if at times it can be hard to see it that way. Our special guest who will be equipping and enlightening us today with several practical tools, conversation starters, and action steps to thrive and be content no matter our relationship status is Teaching Pastor of Red Rocks Austin and Best-Selling Author of the his newest book, Single Today, Ryan Wekenman. Ryan has been an unmarried pastor for over a decade. He’s heard all the usual questions: “Are you dating anyone? Any wedding plans in the future?” But he knows the real question they’re asking is, “Hey, do you think you’ll be single for the rest of your life?” Yet, even in the midst of all of the questions, our guest has discovered firsthand—and from hundreds of meetings with other single people—that we are often consumed by regrets or shame from the past, together with worry or fear of the future, making it feel impossible to find peace in the present. But the good news is that it doesn’t have to be that way. Our prayer is that today’s conversation would offer you a new perspective to begin seeing and living differently in the days ahead.

Shrinking the Integrity Gap: Helping Leaders Live Out What They Preach with Founders of Living Wholehearted, Jeff & Terra Mattson, Ep. 181
July 9, 2024 - 52 min
There’s an old quote that still rings true today, “More than 70% of leaders do not finish well.” Unfortunately, we so often see those with big followings, platforms, and pedestals fall or stumble due to something being done in private. However, our guests today want to help each of us become the leader that we would want to follow - a leader that possesses a great work ethic, vulnerability, and integrity. Joining us today to help us learn how we can shrink the integrity gap within our own lives and become the leader who lives out what we preach are the married co-founders of Living Wholehearted, a professional counseling and organizational development firm, as well as the global Courageous Girls movement, a free online curriculum equipping moms for every stage of their daughter’s growing years. After two decades in leadership and trauma-informed therapy, they are bridging the gap between Biblical, clinical, and relational wisdom to help leaders live with integrity in the home, workplace, and community. Our prayer is that through this conversation you would be educated, equipped, empowered, and encouraged to not just lead, but to lead well.
