Millions are hearing about Jesus, but how many are meeting Him? In this episode, Mike talks with Brandon McGuire — founder of Daily Dose of Wisdom, director and producer of Mining for God, and former producer for Ben Shapiro at The Daily Wire. Together, they discuss the crisis of isolated faith, the place of YouTube in evangelism and discipleship, and how to leverage good Christian content for the sake of the Gospel without succumbing to the pitfalls of social media kingdom making. They explore Brandon’s journey from doubt to discipleship, the dangers of consuming content in isolation, and why the Gospel demands more than just views and clicks. If you care about truth, discipleship, and the future of the Church, this conversation is for you. Check out https://dailydoseofwisdom.com!

In this episode, I sit down with Natasha Crain—a national speaker, author of five books, blogger, and podcaster—to discuss her latest book, When Culture Hates You. Natasha has a gift for cutting through the fog of confusion with clarity, helping Christians think biblically in an increasingly hostile world.

We talk about why she writes, how she remains steadfast in her work, and what she hopes to accomplish with her new book. We also tackle a crucial question: Why did Jesus say His followers would be hated? Do Christians today take that seriously?

Other key topics include: 🔹 Defining what is good in a morally confused culture 🔹 How to advocate for biblical truth in society 🔹 The most pressing moral and cultural issues facing the church today 🔹 How parents and church leaders can equip the next generation

This is an important conversation for anyone seeking to stand firm in their faith amid cultural opposition. Don't miss it!

In this episode, I sit down with Greg West—pastor, apologist, videographer, and rancher—to explore the power of storytelling in communicating deep spiritual truths. Greg is heavily involved with Stand to Reason, the apologetics ministry founded by Greg Koukl, author of Tactics. Together, we unpack C.S. Lewis’ insight that narrative, myth, and beauty can bypass intellectual resistance, sneaking truth past the “watchful dragons” of skepticism. We discuss how story, art, and film uniquely convey the reality of God in ways pure argument often cannot and why beauty and goodness are just as vital as truth in engaging the modern world.

Greg shares insights from his work in filmmaking and apologetics, discussing how narrative shapes belief. Whether you're a pastor, artist, apologist, or simply someone who loves a great story, this conversation will challenge you to think deeply about the role of beauty, creativity, and storytelling in pointing people to Christ. Don’t miss this thought-provoking discussion on how we can use the power of story to bring light and life to our churches and communities.
