Have you ever met a real superhero? How about one that almost died? Today, join us as we sit down with Hercules! Larger-than-life actor, Kevin Sorbo and his wife, Sam, share with us the incredible highs and tragic lows of coming close to death and then actually being kicked out of Hollywood- maybe one of the first victims of cancel culture. Now, he and Sam make more movies than ever, like the soon-to-be-released, Miracle in East Texas - all for a different audience and a higher purpose.

We are so happy to have one of our favorite guests back on the podcast. Ike Reighard is a pastor, an author, and even a “Chief People Officer” of a mortgage company. We heard his amazing story of tragedy, loss, and recovery. But now he dives into what it takes to be a leader who people actually want to follow. And he’s proven it over and over. And no matter what your occupation or station in life is – you are a leader. Get out something to write with because there is so much incredible wisdom coming to you from a man who is as smart as he is funny!

Noel Yeatts has been living on, or near, mission work most of her life. And now, as the president of World Help, she is on the cutting edge of humanitarian work around the globe. But today, she takes us behind the scenes of some of the neediest places and puts a human face on tragedy. She also dives into the hard questions of the "either/or" of helping others - how it's time to stop having to choose between the physical or spiritual needs of our neighbors around the world.

A couple of months ago, Charles had an idea to invite the five best musicians in the country to gather in the studio for only one week to create an album spontaneously. This amazing project is coming out in just a few weeks. But in today's episode, we bring everyone together and pull back the curtain - not just about making this album but about the entire music industry.

Have you ever felt like you were a passenger instead of the driver of your life? Realizing days, weeks, and even years are flying by and you don't know where they went?

Lance Witt helps us kick off Season 4 with a down-to-earth and insightful episode that really digs into how to live with a "healthy soul" and lead with purpose and passion. Lance knows what he's talking about. While leading the 40 Days of Purpose campaign he realized he wasn't taking care of himself and everyone around him was suffering. Today, after more than 40 years of experience, he helps all of us to "own, live, and love our one and only life."
