After 90 episodes and over 76 hours of content, I will take a break from podcasting. My plan is to be back. In the meantime, we will enter into an Encore phase, releasing an encore episode every other week. Television calls them re-runs. Thanks for listening and stay tuned. Until later....

Some people are just wired to see the funny things in life. Scott Westbrook is my guest and he is one of those people. He sees the humor in everything and for those of us who know him, he has made our lives much richer. He will now make yours richer. Enjoy.

Lauren Alaina captured America's heart in 2011 when she was runner-up in the 10th Season of American Idol at age 15. Today she is a country music star and has just released new music. But there is much more to this now 28 year old beauty than music. She tells her behind the scenes story here that includes detours and major potholes along the way. Fame did translate to success... but it did not come easy. You will be charmed, entertained and inspired.

From the little town of Marshallville Ga to the NFL front office of the Houston Texans, this story (or something similar) could have been predicted by all who knew James when he was growing up. You will learn from behind the scenes a little of what it is like to be a NFL Scout. But more importantly, this is a story of great parenting, relentless hard work and finding success. We can all learn from James Liipfert.

Dr Randy Kennedy is a long time pastor and minister and much in demand speaker. He also spent many years as the chaplain for pro athletic teams and a senior golf tour. God has used his unique vantage point of the lives of pro athletes to not only relate to them but also to positively impact many others. But long before he was in ministry, Randy was a drummer for a rock n roll band. The band ended up on the Dick Clark Happening 68 national TV show. The most requested song for him as a drummer in those days was the very familiar "Wipe Out." He still plays that song on the drums today... and remembers. But many years ago, Randy experienced a real wipeout in the ministry. If not for the unconditional love of the pro athletes with the Atlanta Hawks, Randy may have given up on ministry forever. In saving Randy's ministry, the athletes saved the lives of multitude of others Randy has impacted along the way. This is a powerful story of a gifted servant - but more importantly it is a story of grace and restoration.
