Dr. Dave sits down with Thomas Costello, executive pastor in Honolulu and founder of Reach Right, one of the sharpest teaching voices in church marketing today. Their conversation covers what it actually means to grow closer to Jesus one day at a time, why habit stacking beats willpower for spiritual disciplines, the obligatory religious phraseology killing most church communication, and why accountability partners of the same gender are not optional if you want lasting victory over fear, lust, anger, and pride.

Dr. Dave sits down with Scott Shuford, founder of FrontGate Media and one of the original voices in Christian marketing. Scott has spent twenty-five years on the west coast doing the same work Dr. Dave has been doing on the east coast, and this is the first time the two of them have sat down together. Their conversation covers what actually works in Christian marketing right now, why owning your audience matters more than chasing platform followers, the surprising results of a fifteen-tactic launch test with actor Kevin Sorbo, and the diagnostic mindset that separates ministries that grow from ministries that plateau.

Welcome to the launch of the Plan to Win Podcast. Dr. Dave sits down with Mark McDonald, founder of Be Known For Something and a 25-year veteran of church branding.

Dr. Dave Jones and Bryce Johnson unpack the FLAP framework — Fear, Lust, Anger, Pride — and how to beat the toxic motivators derailing your leadership and vision.

Mental toughness coach Gabe Cox reveals how she shaved nearly an hour off her marathon time to qualify for Boston twice—and why the same mental training that got her across that finish line is transforming how Christian entrepreneurs build their businesses.

Marks Driestadt, founder of Infinity Concepts, explains that successful Christian organizations focus on brand clarity, mission alignment, and simple messaging. Ministries often struggle not because of passion or funding, but because they lack a clear brand identity and consistent communication across their organization. By revisiting their core mission and reducing cognitive overload in messaging, Christian leaders can build stronger engagement with donors, audiences, and communities.
