Seventeen years ago John Eldredge wrote the book Wild at Heart, and he said we are in a war. Not only that, but we as men NEED a battle to fight. But against who? Why? This week Chad and Kurt talk with Mark Bell and Bill Reynolds about the battles that we fight as men - the "Big 3" - and they tell us how we can fight the good fight.

In 2001 the book Wild at Heart, by author John Eldredge, was published and he struck a nerve with many men. This week, Kurt and Chad talk with Wild at Heart retreat leaders Rich Shanks II and Bert Moore. In the first of a four week series about the book, this week’s show addresses the question that beats in the heart and soul of every man - “Do I have what it takes?” Most men don’t think they do, so they become a poser in order to “fake it.” But hope and healing is possible through Him! A special Podcast Bonus segment will automatically follow the second track.

Thanksgiving is associated with a specific day in a specific month. Can’t you have Thanksgiving all year long? On this week’s show, Chad and Kurt welcome Pastors Bob Russell and Matthew Sleeth into the studio to talk about living a life of thankfulness. There is a connection between cynicism and ungratefulness. Complaining can kill any chance of having a thankful attitude. Men, you can play a role in developing a spirit of thankfulness in your home.

On this weeks show, Kurt and Chad talk with two basketball coaches who have a combined 50 plus years of experience. We hear about the influence a coach can have on a player - not just on the hardwood but for an entire life. High school Head Coaches Chris Renner (of Ballard High School) and Jimmy Just (of Manual High School) have both produced Division 1 basketball players (including current University of Louisville players Quinton Snyder and Dewayne Sutton) and even a state championship. But with all of the accomplishments on the courts, Chris and Jimmy are proudest of the impact they can have in a player’s life long after they quit playing basketball.

"So you say you care for the poor? What's their name?" - Fr. Gustavo Gutierrez. Many people think it's important to care for the poor, but if one were to look at their checkbooks and calendars, would they bear that out? On this week’s show, Pastor Tim Hartlage of Southwest Church (and former general manager of Salem Radio Station) joins Chad and Kurt to discuss how to help the poor (hint - it’s more than just writing a check!).
