They were all given this question: “What’s one thing that Christians can do to make more of a difference?” Doug and Brad interact with some incredible answers. They also paint a vivid picture of Brad roaming the...

The Super Bowl was one for the ages. If you watched it, you might have seen a commercial about Jesus with the tagline, “He gets us.” Not surprisingly, this commercial has been the center of a lot of talk, both positive and negative. The bros jump into the conversation, with this question in mind: how can we be Christ’s ambassadors concerning this ad? What can we say? How can we say it? And why does Doug inherently trust anything that Mr. T sells? Connect with us on social media and / or...

On today’s show, Doug and Brad bring their better halves, Anna and Sara, into the studio to talk love languages.

Today’s episode takes a deep dive into the story of the shepherds found in Luke chapter 2.

Well, the trees are going up and giant inflatables are filling your neighbors yard. That must mean it’s the Christmas season! And as the ringing of the bells outside of stores reminds us, it’s also the season of giving. But with so many people in need and what could also be a personally dry financial time, giving can come with challenges. On this episode of Go MAD, we’ll be taking a look beyond giving at Christmas into the heart of God who has a heart for ‘giving living’. We think you’ll be...

Thanksgiving is upon us and we can’t think of a better conversation to share with you than our interview with Grammy-nominated, Dove award winning Blessing Offor. This past summer, Doug and Brad got a chance to sit down with Blessing to find out what makes him tick. How does he maintain such joy in the midst of hardship? Blessing does not disappoint. But before you can say, “Please pass the cranberry sauce,” or in Doug’s case, “Please throw the cranberry sauce away.” (You’ll see what I mean,)...

Well it’s that time of the year where egg nog is spontaneously appearing on the shelves and ghost decorations are making simple trips to the store feel like entering a haunted house (I’m looking at you Home Depot).

How do I keep moving forward without giving up? All this and more as we dive into the second episode...

No politics, no future predictions, just some clear steps forward for the ambassador for Christ wondering, what does this all mean...
