This week, Dan is joined by professional golfer Webb Simpson to talk about the pressures of playing golf on the PGA tour–playing in adverse conditions, facing intense pressure in the public eye, and being on the road, away from his family. Being a follower of Jesus influences every part of Webb’s game, from the longest drives to the shortest putts. On the course and off, Webb is looking to use his talents to influence his sphere of the world for God’s Kingdom.

Alan Barnhart inherited his family's business and, alongside his brother, has grown a relatively small regional business into a nationwide one. Over the past 34 years, he developed several principles that are at the core of how they operate. They give away nearly half their yearly profit, and they task their employees with helping determine where the money goes. Alan sees this as good stewardship and a way to love the communities in which his company operates. As you will hear in today’s episode, he cares deeply about his employees, community, and business. He feels a tremendous sense of responsibility for the work that God has entrusted him with. We hope you enjoy today’s conversation.

Joel Salatin gained national purchase through his appearance in the 2006 book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan. Joel had been known for years prior due to his pioneering work in regenerative farming. Joel has been at the forefront of a unique movement in American farming and husbandry that sought to bring sustainability to an economically and ecologically challenging profession - and all of it through his perspective as a believer. In today’s episode, Dan digs into all the aspects that make Joel’s unique perspective such a clarion call for believers.
