EP34: Beyond Going Skin Deep As A Christian - Self Love vs Conceit?
You can pour yourself out for everyone around you and still come home convinced you aren't enough. Learning how to love yourself as a Christian starts with noticing when the tank is empty. On Dr. Scott Asmar: The Man & Everything In Between, Scott welcomes back Victor Perez, a singer with the 90s tribute group Boy Band All Stars and the gospel group Singers of Soul. They talk through a short post of Victor's that Scott couldn't stop thinking about.
Victor describes the packed month that drained his social battery and the prayer God told him He wouldn't answer yet. That moment gave him a new understanding of what “love your neighbor as yourself” means. He also corrects his own first takeaway on air and names the harder truth he landed on instead.
Scott draws a clear line on biblical self love vs conceit and reads the “love is patient” passage from 1 Corinthians 13 aloud. Victor shares the one question he asks himself on hard days as a way of finding self worth in God's love. The two also get honest about social media and self worth, and why the most beautiful people in a room are often the most insecure.
Press play if you give freely to others and rarely extend that same grace to yourself. You'll leave with a clearer sense of how to love yourself as a Christian and why the people you serve need you rested and full first.

EP33: Behind the Scenes of Indie Movie Sets with Kody Newton
Kody Newton shot the movie that launched his filmmaking career on a phone. Not because it was trendy, but because it was 2016 and his business was starting to fail. That decision set him on the path to becoming a full-time independent filmmaker, and Dr. Scott Asmar gets the full story on his podcast Dr. Scott Asmar: The Man and Everything In Between.
Kody Newton is a cinematographer, writer and director based in Idaho. He tells Scott about the movie that changed his career, a family project called Ninja Cowboy Viking, shot on an LG V10 because iit could shoot at 24 frames per second. That project led to theater screenings, fundraising for Make-A-Wish, and a decision to go all in on film.
This episode covers what Kody learned from low-budget sets, how cinematography gear has changed, and why easier access to good cameras doesn’t replace strong storytelling. Scott and Kody also get into the business side, why Kody charges just $650 a day, and how Newton to Newton Productions reflects his family-friendly approach to filmmaking and his habit of bringing family members onto his sets.
If you're weighing a career reinvention or want indie filmmaking career advice from someone who turned a low-budget family film project into a real career, listen to this episode of The Man and Everything In Between.

EP32: Meet Architects Paul & Mark Halajian - Exploring Faith In Fresno Architecture
Can architecture be an act of worship? Paul and Mark Halajian build their answer into every project, and faith-based architecture sits at the center of this conversation with host Dr. Scott Asmar.
On this episode of Dr. Scott Asmar: The Man & Everything In Between, Dr. Scott talks with Paul Halajian, principal architect at Halajian Architects, and his son, Mark Halajian, a designer at the firm. Paul has practiced architecture for nearly forty years and trained at UC Berkeley. Mark studied at Cal Baptist and earned master's degrees in architecture and urban design at CU Denver before joining the family practice.
Paul traces his focus on church architecture design back to a graduate thesis and a former youth pastor's request to design a church, a project that shaped the rest of his career. He also opens up about the fear he felt when launching his own firm in 2010 and the question that followed him through those first years.
Mark breaks down where he stands on AI in architecture, including why he believes it can copy but never create something new. The father-and-son architects also share what led Mark from college wrestling into the family business, the two pulpits and communion table they are currently designing together, and the fountain pen sketching habit Paul passed down to him.
Listen to learn how faith-based architecture, family, and design come together, plus practical architecture career advice for anyone who has ever thought about building something that lasts.
