Andrew McGarrity talks with Kent about raising venture capital, Bright Trip, traveling with kids and more. 

---

Andrew is the co-founder and CEO of BrightTrip.  He was also the founder and CEO of Thrivist, which he successfully sold to Ingram Content Group in 2017.  

He also has a background in International Relations. In the early 2000’s Andrew worked at the US Department of State and the White House where he facilitated Presidential Delegations to ceremonial events around the world and coordinated visits by Kings, Queens, Presidents and Prime Ministers to interesting places in the US like the White House, Camp David and the US President’s home.

Following these international experiences, Andrew has a hard time isaying no to travel. In fact, Andrew came up with the idea for Bright Trip while planning a trip to Africa. He struggled to find any credible video resources that taught him how to travel with kids to a place like Africa — and it was out of this experience that Bright Trip was born.  

Andrew has a BA in Political Science from The University of Memphis as well as a Masters in International Relations from the University of Cape Town.

Ray Ortlund talks with Kent about his recent Elk hunt, why he wrote his latest book on the rampant issue of porn, why porn is a personal integrity and social justice issue, and why he sees it as the single biggest stumbling-block sidelining men today, as well as a deep dive on the theology of suffering (does God allow suffering? does suffering come from God? the 3 categories of suffering, the final and ultimate healing from suffering, etc), and finally, he shares some lessons from the sixties and how we can apply those to our world today.

---

Ray graduated from Wheaton College as a Bachelor of Arts, from Dallas Theological Seminary as a Master of Theology, from The University of California at Berkeley as a Master of Arts, and from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, as a Doctor of Philosophy. Pastor Ortlund was ordained into the Christian ministry by Lake Avenue Congregational Church, Pasadena, California, in 1975. He taught Old Testament and Semitic Languages at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois, from 1989 to 1998. His primary ministry, for 28 years, has been as a pastor in California, Oregon, Georgia and Tennessee.

In addition to numerous essays and articles, Ray has published eight books. His latest, Marriage and the Mystery of the Gospel, was named “2017 Christian Book of the Year” in the category Bible Study. He also served as an Old Testament translator for The New Living Translation and The English Standard Version of the Bible. He contributed the introduction and study notes to the book of Isaiah in The ESV Study Bible.

Ray is also the President of Renewal Ministries and serves on the Council of The Gospel Coalition.

Ray and his wife Jani have been married for forty-five happy years, they have four delightful children and 13 amazing grandchildren. Ray says, “I have the most wonderful wife, I love my kids and grandkids, and I love Immanuel Church. My dream is that God would use us for true revival in our city.”

New York Times Best-selling author and political commentator Stephen Mansfield joins the show to discuss the big names in politics, including Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Amy Coney Barrett. We also discuss what's next for the Trump family, Mike Pence and the Republican Party, the seeming mismanagement of the Trump campaign, the state of the country, the path forward and more.

 

Stephen Mansfield is a New York Times bestselling author and a popular speaker who also leads a media training firm based in Washington, DC. He first rose to global attention with his groundbreaking book The Faith of George W. Bush, a bestseller that Time magazine credited with helping to shape the 2004 US presidential election. The book was a source for Oliver Stone’s award-winning film “W.” Mansfield’s The Faith of Barack Obama was another international bestseller. He has written celebrated biographies of Booker T. Washington, George Whitefield, Winston Churchill, Pope Benedict XVI, and Abraham Lincoln, among others. Publishers Weekly described his book, Killing Jesus, as “masterful.”

Stephen’s humorous but fiery Mansfield’s Book of Manly Men has inspired men’s events in the US and abroad. His more recent The Miracle of the Kurds has been selected as “Book of the Year” by Rudaw, the leading Kurdish news service. As a result of this book, Mansfield has become a respected voice in support of the Kurds against the evils of ISIS in the Middle East. Stephen speaks widely about men, leadership, faith, the lessons of history, and the forces that shape modern culture. His media training firm, The Mansfield Group, has worked with top politicians, CEOs, rock stars, major publishing firms, and educational institutions around the world. Mansfield lives in Nashville and the nation’s capital with his wife Beverly, an award-winning songwriter and producer. You can read more about Stephen Mansfield here: https://stephenmansfield.tv.
