   Phil Claybrooke - Big Pharma, Bad Guts, and Borrowed Time

   Phil Claybrooke has spent over ten years in emergency and ICU nursing and, for the past four years, has run his own integrative clinic in Midland, Texas, where he and his team see patients from three weeks old to their nineties. Phil walks through how a friend's offhand suggestion turned a high school science teacher into a nurse practitioner, why a six-year mentorship under two Hindu physicians eventually became his chance to share the gospel with them directly, and how the insurance system quietly pushes providers toward medication over root-cause care. The conversation moves from the practical to the theological — why Phil spent nearly three years unlearning protocols he'd trusted for a decade, how he explains the gut as "the second brain" to his patients, and two stories that make his case better than any statistic could: a woman taken off six antipsychotics after her gut was addressed, and a man whose five years of chronic diarrhea resolved in three months once someone finally tested for the cause. Phil closes with a line that reframes the whole conversation — you can be physically amazing and spiritually bedbound — a picture of what it actually means to steward a body you won't keep forever.

   Brian Lonergan - Pro Athletes, Women's Bible Studies and the Weight Room That Brought Them Together

   Brian Lonergan has spent thirteen years building something almost no other church in the country has attempted — a full training ministry inside Northwest Bible Church in Dallas, where pro athletes, high schoolers, and retirees all train under the same roof, and the weight room doubles as a discipleship lounge. Brian walks through how a chance conversation turned into a church-funded facility, why the ministry runs on invitation instead of marketing, and how showing up consistently to train someone's body earns the credibility to speak into their spiritual life. The conversation moves from the practical to the theological — Paul's language of disciplining the body, the parallel tracks of physical and spiritual formation, and why the church's posture toward the body matters more than most are willing to say out loud. Brian also shares the story of Jerry, a retired staff member in his eighties still training so he can walk from village to village preaching the gospel in a country where it isn't welcome — a picture of what stewarding the body well can look like decades down the road. Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Backstory 01:20 The Two by Two Movement and Its Purpose 02:15 Brian's Journey and Ministry Beginnings 09:13 The Ministry's Impact on the Church Community 16:03 Evangelism and Discipleship Through the Ministry 28:41 Living Life Together and Discipleship 34:52 The Intersection of Fitness and Discipleship 39:22 The Theology and Philosophy of Exercise 43:25 The Church's Message on Physical Fitness 52:25 The Prescriptive and Descriptive Nature of Fitness Ministry

   Dale Wallace - ChatGPT Dating Advice, Conflict, and the Christian Case for AI

   Dale Wallace spent ten years as a college pastor before he stumbled into AI, and once he was in it, he couldn't unsee what his students were actually asking these tools. This conversation covers what a model actually is, why AI isn't neutral but formative, and the moment that led Dale to help build AskLYTE — an AI trained on Scripture and the local church instead of the whole internet. Josh and Dale also get into the real difference between a ChatGPT answer and a biblically-rooted one, why this moment is the easiest "zero to one" has ever been for builders, and the world problems Dale believes AI could help solve. They close on stewardship, mind and body rhythms in a season of young kids, and the two men Dale wants to see on the show next. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Dale Wallace 01:28 Understanding Artificial Intelligence 02:28 The Process of AI: Ingredients, Mixing, and Cake 04:17 The Controversy and Fear Surrounding AI 05:29 The Impact of AI on Society and Individuals 07:08 The Moral Implications of AI 28:35 The Use Cases of AI in Everyday Life 29:57 The Dangers and Necessity of AI 30:43 The Impact of AI on the Next Generation 32:45 The Role of AI in Biblical Stewardship 36:13 Differentiating Light from Other Models 37:52 The Influence of AI on Decision Making 42:41 Expanding Perceptions of AI Use Cases 53:17 Stewardship of Mind, Body, and Soul RESOURCES: AskLYTE - https://asklyte.ai/ (https://asklyte.ai/)

   Jonnathan Menendez - Blended Families, Father Wounds, and the Word That Never Loses Its Flavor

   Jonnathan Menéndez didn't ease into fatherhood — he married into it. When he and his wife came home from their wedding, he was suddenly a husband and a father to her eight-year-old daughter, with no runway to prepare and no manual to follow. Jonathan serves as groups minister at Josh's church in Dallas, and this year he founded Transformative Fatherhood, a venture built to help overwhelmed new dads move from identity crisis to clarity, confidence, and compassion. This conversation traces Jonathan's own story — a father who was physically present but emotionally and spiritually absent, the anger and need for approval that grew out of that absence, and the "two for one" transition into a blended family that forced him to learn fatherhood on the job. From there, Jonathan lays out the framework behind Transformative Fatherhood: Heal, Grow, Build — healing from the past, growing in present knowledge and skill, and building intentionally toward the family you want to become. Josh and Jonathan also get into the theology of work — why God is the first entrepreneur, why building something isn't in competition with ministry, and why this cultural moment offers a wider door into entrepreneurship than ever before. The conversation closes on secure attachment, generational cycles, and why Jonathan says Scripture is the one thing you can chew on for years and it never loses its flavor. Chapters 00:00 — A Minister Who Fell in Love with Entrepreneurship 09:00 — The Identity Crisis Nobody Warns New Fathers About 17:00 — Physically Present, Emotionally Absent: Naming Father Wounds 27:03 — Heal, Grow, Build: The Transformative Fatherhood Framework 32:32 — Nurture Isn't Just a Mother's Job 35:36 — Why Fatherhood Without Vision Is a Guessing Game 37:16 — Can Ministry and Business Live in the Same Calling? 38:01 — Work as Worship: God, the First Entrepreneur 41:20 — Why This Moment Is a Wide-Open Door for Builders 44:19 — What a World Full of Transformative Fathers Looks Like 50:28 — The Book That Never Loses Its Flavor Resources Connect with Jonathan Menéndez Instagram: @transformativefatherhood (https://www.instagram.com/transformativefatherhood/) Email: admin@transformativefatherhood.com (mailto:admin@transformativefatherhood.com) https://stan.store/transformativefatherhood (https://stan.store/transformativefatherhood) Scripture referenced Proverbs 29:18 — "Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint" 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 — God as "the God of all comfort," who comforts us so we can comfort others

   Entitlement, the Abusive Heart, and What Jesus Actually Said About Power

   Chris Moles is a pastor and biblical counselor who has spent over twenty years working inside batterer intervention programs alongside his vocational ministry. In this conversation, Chris defines domestic abuse, traces its root in pride and entitlement, and challenges the version of biblical manhood that rejects passivity only to embrace a different kind of harm. He walks through what Jesus actually modeled about power — not power over, but power under — and gives men a practical framework for examining their own hearts, confronting sin in others, and responding well when someone they love has been harmed.

   Billy Raies - Fatherhood, the Fear of Man, and Living the Text

   Pastor Billy Raies has been in the same pulpit in Midland, Texas for thirty-three years. He still gets up at four in the morning on Sundays — not because he's disciplined, but because he knows how much he needs God to show up. In this Father's Day conversation with his son Josh, Billy talks about the weekly rhythm of pastoral ministry, how to engage Scripture vocationally without it becoming an assignment, the swan song moment that reoriented his vision for legacy, and what happens when you ask a waiter how you can pray for them. Honest, pastoral, and grounded in the gospel from start to finish.

   Pain Pt. 2 - Understanding, Managing, and Training Through Pain

   Part two of our pain series is all application. In part one we built a theology of pain — what it is, where it comes from, and what God says about it. Now we answer the question every man actually wants answered: what do you do with it? In this episode Josh and Nick break down the difference between acute and chronic pain, walk through the RICE protocol and where it holds up and where it doesn't, and get into the nuance around NSAIDs — when they can be a legitimate tool and when they become a crutch. They also make the case for isometrics as one of the most underused tools in pain management and rehabilitation, and close with injury-specific protocols for the three areas most men are actually dealing with — shin splints, knee pain, and back pain. Nick is currently managing a herniated L5. Josh's seasonal allergies spike his knee. This isn't theory. Closes on Hebrews 12:1-4.
