Ken Lander, a former trial lawyer from Georgia turned coffee farmer in Costa Rica and co-founder of Thrive Farmers, joins the show. Ken shares the story of his journey from Georgia to Costa Rica, the creation, development & ministry of Thrive Farmers (who provides a proprietary blend to Chick-Fil-A), and tidbits of information on how coffee makes it from the field to your cup.

Thrive Farmers is currently teamed up with WFIL for the "Pallet-Full of Coffee" Contest where you could win 180 pounds of coffee (and some tea!) and much more (details/get entered at wfil.com).

Gold-selling, Dove Award-winning pop recording artist Jordan Feliz does his very natural "California hang" on the program in advance of his upcoming December 18 release Say It, his third, full-length album. Say It features Feliz’s third No. 1 radio hit, "Glorify" including two bonus versions of the song (one featuring tobyMac & the other, Lecrae). Other songs on the album include the highly-personal "Wounds," "Next To Me," and the celebratory opener “Jesus Is Coming Back."

Feliz says, “I’ve worked harder for this record than I’ve worked for almost anything in my life. With these songs, I want to encourage people to talk more about the beauty and the miracles that God does in our lives when we invite Him into our struggles…This record is all about what God has done in my life.”

Say It also features the vulnerable “When I Say My Prayers.” Written in part about the miscarriage Feliz and his wife suffered before they had their daughter Jolie and son Judah, the song explores the universal sentiment of loss.

Previous #1 singles for Feliz include "The River" (which spent 12 weeks at #1) and "Witness." Feliz has been nominated for five Dove Awards, taking home the trophy for 2016’s “New Artist of the Year."

After a two-month gap, the TDS has a new producer, with Victoria joining the program each weekday :). The snack-loving, Jersey native majored in journalism & media studies at Rutgers and worked with the Eagles in their creative services department. She helps execute our "Now THAT'S Punny" segment at the conclusion of the show which also includes a fun Jim Gaffigan donut routine (not included in the podcast) plus the new Jordan Feliz song "Glorify" & Wayne Watson's "Rock Steady." Tim takes time to read through Proverbs 4 as well for wisdom & perspective.
