What do nutcrackers, Mariah Carey, and the Magi have in common? They're all part of this episode of Go M.A.D.! After working through some Christmas song foibles, Doug and Brad take a fresh look at the story of the Wise Men. This story has a lot to offer us today, especially around the holidays. The bros offer simple lessons we see about how to live like kings / wise men, not just at Christmas but year-round. We hope you enjoy and we hope you have a M.A.D. Christmas!

“It's the most wonderful time of the year!” But it doesn’t always feel that way, does it? On today's episode, Doug and favorite guest of the podcast, Ron Hutchcraft, discuss grief during the holidays. How do we get through it? How do we help others navigate it? And how can we remain Christ's ambassadors when grief is present? Ron shares from years of experience dealing with this topic - check out hopewhenyourheartisbreaking.com for more info.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Or is it? Holiday family gatherings can be deeply memorable or deeply stressful - probably some of both. Doug and Brad break down some practical ways to reach out to difficult family members over the holiday season, whether that person is distant, opinionated, or just plain grumpy. Doug also shares his unusual views on pilgrim rumbles.

Well we officially made it. It’s the end of season 3 of Go M.A.D. The only reason we’re not tearing up is that we’re already jazzed for season 4. Yes, jazzed. That and we can’t stop laughing about Brad’s Panera Bread story - just listen for yourself. Today, Doug and Brad give tips on how to avoid a “bummer summer” by being intentional with your time and your relationships. We hope you have a great summer and look forward to starting the conversation again in the fall.

Cue Pomp and Circumstance! It's graduation time! Chances are someone in your life is graduating or will be graduating high school or college sometime in the near future. In this episode, we revisit a stellar interview between Doug, Brad, and Mark Jobe about the future of this generation. While Dr. Jobe has some instruction for graduates, he's full of optimism for what this next generation will accomplish. This interview is relevant for all of us who have a young person in our life (or as Brad says, even if you pass by a young person in Walmart.) Also, check out Mark's podcast, "Bold Steps," at the link below:

This new episode is something really special - we’ve got arguably our favorite Hutchcraft on the show today, Ron Hutchcraft. Did you know you have one of the best M.A.D. tools with you all the time? It’s your Hope Story, and it’s powerful in Jesus’ hands! 

Recently, Ron and Doug hosted a six-session video series called, “Your Hope Story.” “Your Hope Story” is all about how to use your story to lead others to Christ. Ron and the bros interact with some of the interviews that are featured in "Your Hope Story,” and land us with some truly helpful principles for sharing Christ with people in your world. If this sounds like something you or your church would like to engage with, go to YourHopeStory.com or check it out on RightNowMedia.org
