(00:00-09:09): Kanye West announced that he no longer will be making secular music, only gospel. Brian and Ian touch on how Christians are criticizing the artist saying that he is only just saying it. (09:09-18:02): We are joined by author and Global Leader Jackson Crum. He is here to talk about his devotional book for men called “Sought”. He resigned from leading his church Park Community Church. He is moving on to Global Leadership and moving to Turkey to help Care Coordinators in the Middle East. (18:02-27:04): Jackson sticks around to talk more about “Sought”. The book’s purpose is for those questioning God’s identity and His role in lives. Park Community Church’s average age is 31 and the average stay is 3 years. He answers the question “How do you leave well?”. (27:04-36:16): We are joined by Candi Cushman from Focus on the Family to talk about #BringYourBibleDay. The initiative is for students to be bold and be outwardly a reader of the word and a doer of God’s mission. (36:16-46:51): Calif. governor signs bill allowing college athletes to sign endorsements. Brian and Ian touch on this situation and how it is only fair for students to be able to market their skills; whether that be arts or sports. (46:51-57:12): Marsha Vaughn from Adler University joins the show to talk about pastoral care and how overly-accessible pastors can be overwhelmed. She also touches on the Christian leaders who advocated mental illness awareness who took their own lives because of lack of counseling.

It is alright to not be doing alright, but it is up for us to be supportive and understanding to each other. (1:07:48-1:14:14): Brian and Ian’s “Weird Stuff We Found on the Internet”: Bison and Antelope are very different animals, while a tiny pony causes a traffic stir in California. Ironically, politicians are not teeing off at this golf course, rather it is the other way around, and gators are pretty much the boss. Meanwhile, Netherlands police arrest a bird for robbery.
