You have the American dream. A beautiful wife and children, as well as a business that is thriving. By outside appearances, everything is wonderful, but no one knows you have a secret life. It doesn’t take long for that secret life to become public. What happens when you are exposed for all the world to see? On this week’s show, Kurt and Chad talk with Jordan about his journey into the grips of pornography and experiencing the freedom in Christ, and how a group of men he barely knew came around him in his darkest hour.

This week’s show is with Dr. Chuck Tackett. He is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in marital counseling. Chuck talks about ways to argue with your spouse that can actually lead to intimacy within the marriage, both emotionally and physically!

“I just don’t want to argue with my wife.” Wanting to avoid arguments in marriage is common. We try to avoid it but often the argument happens anyway and it doesn’t go well. Is there such a thing as a good or bad way to argue? On this week’s show, Kurt and Chad welcome licensed clinical psychologist Chuck Tackett. The show is week one of a two week series on arguing. Chuck talks about the five destructive ways of arguing that can actually lead to divorce! Which one of these styles of arguing do you use most often? Listen to this honest conversation about how we can actually harm our spouse and our marriage when we argue the wrong way. On next week’s show Chuck will talk about ways to argue constructively.

Five minutes. That’s about how long it takes to go though the drive thru at a restaurant or to brush your teeth. What about spending time with God? Can God do a work in someone in only five minutes a day? On this week’s show, Kurt and Chad welcome former NFL champion Amos Martin as he discusses his new book Time Out for God. Part autobiography, part devotional, part journal, but all pointing in the direction of God and His transforming power.

“‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”-Jesus The man standing at the end of the offramp when you come to the red light, is holding a cardboard sign that says “Homeless please help.” What do you do? What do you think? On this week's show, Kurt and Chad talk to Norm Minnick and Wally Kendrick, leaders of Lost Sheep Ministries of Louisville. They talk about their care of the homeless population. From a hot meal to a warm blanket, there are multiple ways to help the homeless and near homeless. The most important thing they can minister to is the heart and soul of people, not just their physical needs. Once a week, with the help of volunteers, the homeless will get shelter from the cold, a warm meal, and hopefully some good conversation. How can all of us play a role in ministering to the less fortunate?

In 1988 the Kentucky deer herds had grown beyond carrying capacity in some areas and biologists were encouraging additional doe harvest. This led to discussions between a few avid hunters who wanted to oblige wildlife management but had concerns about what to do with extra venison that they didn't have room to store or would exceed what their small families could consume. Sharing nature's bounty with those less fortunate seemed a natural choice and after a bit of research they discovered that donating meat to the needy was the answer. That fall Hunters for the Hungry was born as hunters joined with processors and food banks to supply donated meat to the needy. (From the website: www.kyhuntersforthehungry.info ) On this week’s show, Kurt and Chad welcome Ky Hunters for the Hungry President Roger Lapointe about how KHftH has helped to serve millions of meals for Kentuckians. From the field dressing of the deer to the plates of those in need, the guys talk about God’s provision through deer and people.

“I learn more from my losses than my wins.” People have been arguing for decades who the best basketball, football, or baseball player in history has been. In track and field, it’s really simple: Look at the clock. The fastest is nearly impossible to debate when your time is better than everyone else’s. On this weeks show, one of the fastest men on the planet ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PrQYSuhZyDs), 2017 60m national champion Ronnie Baker, talks about his beginnings - from running track for the first time as child, to a high school track meet that helped open his eyes to the possibility of going places he never considered, to having his sights on Olympic gold. Ronnie talks about the challenges along the way - the power the love, faith, and intentionality a mom can have to point a child in the right direction, possibly to the top of the platform with gold around his neck. But knowing that he does not get there outside of going to the Cross first. The most important race that he is running is not on a track field.

When you hear the words “foster care” what do you think about? Or more importantly, who do you think about? The child? The social worker? The birth parents? Foster parents? If it sounds complicated, you’re right.. So what can you do to help change a complicated situation into a blessing? On this week’s show, Kurt and Chad welcome three men who have been involved in the foster care process. They give a father’s perspective on how society (including those in the church) have either intentionally or unintentionally turned a blind eye toward a problem that effects so many.
