  • When Your Escape Route Is A Treadmill

    A wolf attack in the Bob Marshal Wilderness provides a visceral illustration for how the enemy attacks us spiritually.  Listen in to the story from long time friend, and adapted from "Wrecked & Restored" by Nathan Vainio, and pick up some pointers to pull the plug on the treadmill.

  • The Radioactive Mentor

    There is always a lot of chatter about leadership, and rightfully so... we need good leadership.  Whether it be in our homes, our churches, our workplaces, our military, or our public offices, it is absolutely essential.    What I fear is too often overlooked is the ability of those leaders to mentor highly effective replacements for themselves.  

    The Radioactive Mentor looks at how Moses led a nation, but mentored one man... Joshua.  

    This is the first part of a series, however, this series will roll out sporatically.

    Moses' mentorship of  Joshua isn't a list of behaviors to be checked off, it is a front row seat to one of the most epic relationships in the Bible.  And it is powerful!!!

  • Tithing Your Time

    The term "TITHE" is always used in the Bible as the first 10% of income/increase (whether money, animals, agricultural goods....etc  check out the OT) that is returned back to God.   But is it possible that the same concept could (or should) be used in terms of our time?   Listen in and check it out!

  • Death To Pepe'
    Have you ever had to deal with a skunk?  This episode dredges up an old story from my high school days in Montana and looks metaphorically at dealing with those situations in life that are like dealing with skunks... those situations you avoid, those people you avoid,... those situations or people you address head on and end up paying the price when things blow up.   But more than the actual people or situations, this episode looks at dealing with the spiritual battle behind these situations and how to find victory!

  • An Unfortunate Attack

    Have you ever been blindsided?  You are succeeding, progressing, and accomplishing goals when, out of nowhere, something takes you out at the knees.  This episode takes a look at an event in the early 1900's, compares it with a few verses in the bible,  and looks to get to the bottom of the issue.... the problem of being blindsided and taken out of the game of life.

  • A Shoestring Snot Revival

    Once again I dig into my formative years for a story that may illustrate a good litmus test of revival, or awakening.   Admittedly, it begins a bit light hearted, but it is plenty serious, and, I believe, spot on!
