Dr. David Hawkins joins me to unpack one of the ugliest elephants in the sanctuary — emotionally immature and narcissistic men hiding behind faith and authority. We talk control masked as leadership, the psychology of “hopium,” and why so many Christian marriages quietly collapse under spiritual manipulation. This isn’t church-bashing — it’s truth-telling for men who actually want to grow up, take responsibility, and love their wives like Christ, not a dictator.

We get practical—why accepting influence matters, why “sorry” without change is empty, what real interventions look like, and how to do the work. It’s blunt, faith-aware, and unflinching—but aimed at healing, not shaming.

Enjoy

Thanks for watching, and God bless.

I recorded an episode with my buddy, Pastor Matt Kean, to process the shocking murder of Charlie Kirk.

We talk honestly about what happened, why it hit so hard, and the bigger question: How should Christians respond when evil shows up like this?

We wrestle through anger, fear, justice, and the reality of living in a world that’s under the sway of the enemy. Matt brings scripture, perspective, and some hard but needed truths. And at the center of it all—we come back to the gospel.

If you’ve been shaken by this, if you’re angry, or if you’re just wondering how to make sense of it, this conversation will likely help you.

I hope you're blessed by our chat.

I sat down with Andy Harrington, Executive Director of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank—a network of Christian organizations working together to end global hunger with a budget of around 80 million. Andy doesn’t just talk about impact; he lives it, partnering with farmers across Canada to feed millions around the world.

But his journey into this work wasn’t a straight line. We talk about that journey, which includes the tragic death of his son Chris at 28 years old and how it impacted his perspective on life, faith, and how that pain became fuel for purpose.

We also dig into the real-world consequences of Trump's recent cuts to USAID funding and the huge impact it's having on the world’s hungriest people today.

In summary, this conversation is about a journey of learning to walk by faith, not by sight. I hope it's a blessing to you.

Alex Rayment grew up in a rough, secular home in the UK—bouncing from place to place, carrying the weight of abuse he never talked about. Faith wasn’t on the radar. Church was irrelevant. And Jesus? Just another name.

Then one day as a teenager, he watched The Passion of the Christ—and something in him cracked open. It didn’t feel like religion. It felt real. It felt personal. And it changed the trajectory of his entire life.

In this episode, Alex shares his honest and powerful story—how he met Jesus in the middle of the pain, found healing he didn’t think was possible, and eventually stepped into his calling as a pastor in one of the most secular parts of the world.

This emotional, gritty, and hope-filled conversation again proves that God can redeem anything.

Maxime Bernier, a Candidate for Prime Minister in Canada's upcoming Federal Election on April 28th and leader of the People's Party of Canada, comes on the show to answer my questions about his stance on issues like freedom, government control, mass immigration, abortion, guns, media bias, Trump, Tarrifs, Pierre poilievre, supply management, and more.

Maxime discusses the importance of standing firm in one's beliefs, even when they’re unpopular. He shares how his values shaped his political journey, why he refuses to back down, and what he sees as Canada's future.

Regardless of your political beliefs, this should give you a good idea of who Max is and what his party has to offer the people of Canada.

It was awesome to have him on.
