In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dan Brown Jr., an 11-time Emmy Award winner and 17-time nominee, documentary filmmaker, TV composer, creative director, and founder of CrimeSonics—a company dedicated to creating sound for true crime films. Dan shares insight into his upcoming three-hour documentary on the unsolved case of Brianna Wells, a gripping project four years in the making, set to release soon on most major streaming platforms. With over $250,000 invested, Dan’s commitment to truth and justice shines through.

We talk about his passion for working on unsolved cases, his creative process, and the importance of giving a voice to the voiceless. Dan also opens up about his roles as a father, husband, and Christ follower, and how his faith and family—especially his son—fuel his purpose and drive. We explore the importance of having a heart for the lost, the power of daily Bible reading, and the reminder that the Bible is 66 books brought together to reveal God's redemptive plan. Dan doesn’t shy away from sharing the truth: we are all sinners in need of Jesus.

Whether you’re into true crime, creative storytelling, or spiritual depth, this episode will both challenge and inspire.

In this heartfelt episode, I’m joined by Corey Lowe—father, husband, podcast host of Guard Your Heart, and a seasoned chef with over 15 years in the kitchen.

Corey shares how he launched his podcast during the height of COVID to remind people they’re not alone, and how his journey as a husband and father shapes everything he does.

We talk about the powerful role his wife plays in supporting his mission, the joy and challenges of dad life, and why capturing memories through photos matters.

Corey opens up about a moment when a stranger stepped in to help him during a difficult season, the importance of responding to evil with good, and why we must embrace all of Scripture—not just the parts that are easy.

This conversation is full of wisdom, encouragement, and a reminder that faith, family, and food are all deeply connected.
