If we are going to be a redemptive agent in the world. If we are going to bring justice. If we are going to bring mercy. If we are going to present truth in a way the world will hear it, we simply have to come together as males and females.

A crisis divides but it also has the ability to bring us together. Our first thought is scarcity, we're compelled to compete with one another, and yet, people are coming together to work together and collaborate with one another in amazing ways.
We've got a unique episode for you today. Alan recently talked with a group of business leaders about the need for more collaboration versus competition and the abundance mindset versus the scarcity mindset.

Everyone's lives have been changed because of COVID-19. Almost overnight we experienced a huge amount of change all at once that has been traumatizing for many people.
This is a very timely episode and we really encourage you to sit with this one, slow down and really take it in.
On today's episode, Alan sits down with author, teacher, counselor, and president of Ransomed Heart, John Eldredge. This is a very real and raw conversation about John's book Get Your Life Back: Everyday Practices for a World Gone Mad. John shares his burnout process and how he got through it.
About John
John earned his master's degree in Counseling from Colorado Christian University, under the direction of Larry Crabb and Dan Allender. He worked as a counselor in private practice before launching Ransomed Heart in 2000. John and Stasi live in Colorado Springs with their three sons (Samuel, Blaine, and Luke), their golden retriever (Oban), and two horses (Whistle and Kokolo). While all of this is factually true, it somehow misses describing an actual person. He loves the outdoors passionately, and all beauty, Shakespeare, bow hunting, a good cigar, anything having to do with adventure, poetry, March Madness, working in the shop, fly fishing, classic rock, the Tetons, fish tacos, George MacDonald, green tea, buffalo steaks, dark chocolate, wild and open places, horses running, and too much more to name. He also uses the expression "far out" way too much.

If you are a communicator in any sense of the word, this is a great episode for you. There's gold here when it comes to communicating well, and how to say a lot with a little.
On today's episode, David sits down with Timothy Mackie and Jonathan Collins from The Bible Project. They have a great discussion about how to communicate in a way that is meaningful, full of value, and this idea of intellectual empathy.
About Tim and Jon
Timothy Mackie and Jonathan Collins (long-time friends and one-time roommates at Multnomah University) were tossing around ideas on how to help people read through Scripture while avoiding these common pitfalls and misunderstandings. How could complex themes of the Bible be presented in a way that was real and unapologetic but approachable?
Combining Tim’s deep biblical understanding and Jon’s passion for visual storytelling, they created their first two videos in 2014 and put them online for free.
The Bible Project has over 140 videos and 200 podcasts, which can all be viewed on their website, The Bible App, YouTube, Vimeo, and more. They have over 100 million views across all of their channels in over 200 countries, and they have over one million subscribers worldwide.
Viewership is evenly distributed between ages 18 to 45. They are inspiring the next generation to explore the Bible through the mediums in which they have been raised, visual storytelling and technology.
