   From Business to Ministry: Debt, Wills & Money | Chad Bozarth Show #057 w/Ron Kelley

   In this episode, I talk with Ron Kelly, Executive Director of the Prestonwood Foundation, about leaving a corporate career for full-time ministry and what faithful stewardship looks like in real life. Listen as Ron shares how his family ended up at Prestonwood, the conviction that led him to resign, go to seminary, and join the staff, and the moment his boss called it a waste. We also get into what the foundation actually does: biblical financial coaching, career transition, church benevolence, marketplace ministry, and free wills. From debt and inflation to money dates, secret spending, wills for parents of young kids, student loans, and God’s provision for people in ministry, this conversation is practical, honest, and rooted in Scripture. If you’re into biblical money, marriage and finances, wills, calling, or the tension between faith and the bottom line, this episode’s for you. Ron is offering a free copy of Your Money Counts by Howard Dayton. Contact him through the Prestonwood Foundation if you want one.

   Hollywood, Law & Artificial Intelligence | Chad Bozarth Show #056 w/Phillip Vaden

   In this episode, I talk to my old friend Phillip Vaden. Listen as we talk about how a high school Grease chorus gig turned into years of acting in Los Angeles — commercials, indie films, and network pilots — before he left Hollywood for law school and then legal tech. We also get into stolen residual checks, why he decided to become a lawyer, and how AI is changing the practice of law, including his podcast The AI Sidebar. If you’re into Hollywood stories, career pivots, law, or AI, this episode’s for you. Check out ⁨@infotrackus⁩ (https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCpPgFK25M3-iC87HyCYRKPw)

   Algorithms, Arguments & Political Philosophy | Chad Bozarth Show #055 w/Robert Sullivan, PhD

   In this episode, I talk with Dr. Rob Sullivan, Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and Professor of Political Science at Dallas Baptist University. He holds a B.S. from Howard Payne University, a J.D. from the University of Texas at Austin, and a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Arlington. We reconnect 20 years after I sat in his political science class at DBU. We talk about his path from UT Law and the mortgage industry into higher education, what teaching is actually like, and how he keeps students engaged when most people would rather avoid politics altogether. We get into political philosophy, ideology assessments that surprise people, and why “conservative vs. liberal” is too small a box for what people actually believe. We cover why politics feels more like a reality show than a debate of ideas, steelman arguments, how to use AI without letting it do your thinking for you, and how to consume news in the age of algorithms. We also talk about The Federalist Papers, The Anti-Federalist Papers, The Road to Serfdom, and other resources for brushing up on the American system, plus advice for idealistic young people considering law school or public service and how faith should (and shouldn’t) interact with political engagement. A must-listen for students, pastors, teachers, and anyone trying to think more clearly about government, news, and public life without getting swallowed by the noise.
