  Ep. 277 | Yosemite: God's Masterpiece | Overcoming Doubt

  Aug 18, 202611 minS2026

  In today's episode of TIMpactful Topics , I warm up with Yosemite--God's masterpiece. Then, I move on to the topic: Doubt doesn't mean you've lost your faith--it means you'rehuman. I look at how Scripture shows us that even faithful people wrestled with questions, fear, and uncertainty. From Thomas to David, we discover that faith isn't having every answer; it's trusting God even when we don't understand. You don't have to see the whole road—just trustGod with the next step.

  Ep. 274 | Love Your Neighbor...But Lock Your Front Door

  Aug 4, 202622 minS2026

  On this episode of TIMpactful Topics , I tackle culture, sports, and controversy from a Christian perspective. I discuss standing firm in a world of outrage, the rise of athletes who become cultural voices, the Aaron Rodgers vaccine controversy and the question of who watches the fact-checkers. I talk about immigration, plus the importance of balancing truth, grace, and humility in today's divided world. A little sports, a little sarcasm, a little faith...and a reminder that sometimes the loudest voices aren't always the wisest ones.

  Ep. 273 | The Freaky Friday Files, the Final Four, the Fifth Amendment, and Fart Charting

  Jul 31, 202620 minS2026

  This week on TIMpactful Topics , I'm down to the Final Four in my search for a new favorite Major League Baseball team after the A's bullpen once again reminded my why therapy should come free with season tickets. Which franchises are still standing, and who has the inside track to win my baseball heart? Then I tackle the Senate hearing where Anthony Fauci pleaded the Fifth...not once, not twice, but 111 times. I'll contrast the man who never seemed to run out of opinions during COVID with the man who suddenly couldn't find a single answer under oath. And in the Freaky Friday Files , I've got two stories proving truth is stranger than fiction: the moviegoer who allegedly smuggled an entire pot of chili into an IMAX theater, and the Australian scientists who actually convinced thousands of people to download an app and "Chart Your Fart." Yes, science now includes rating your gas for smell, loudness, and hang time. Somewhere, sixth-grade boys are calling this the greatest research project ever conducted. Sports, politics, faith, flatulence, and food smuggling...because no one ever accused TIMpactful Topics of lacking range.

  Ep. 272 | Breaking Up is Hard to Do...Even with the A's

  Jul 28, 202619 minS2026

  After nearly 50 years as an Athletics fan, I wonder if it's finally time to move on. I share memories of growing up with the A's, the heartbreak of watching stars leave, and the frustration of the franchise's recent decline before revealing the teams that could become my new baseball squad. Plus, a look at LeBron James' surprising move to Philadelphia and what it could mean.
