Don’t Forget The Freight Cars
As the Pastor/boss don’t forget those that are pulling behind you, your staff, family and church members need time for other things too. Make you you allow them time to keep their lives balanced too. Dr. Stone and Pastor Wolvin give us some helpful hints on how to do so.
Who’s Actually Tipping The Scale?
Sometimes, well most of the time, the pressure we feel that we are not taking care of all our duties is most often self induced. Al and Dan take a look at some of those things we can do to take some of that pressure off.
How’s Your Balance?
Family, ministry, business, personal time … how do you balance all that out successfully is the question asked of our hosts today. With circus performers we have on board the solution to a balancing act is NO problem.
Trailblazing Heroes & Legends in Our Own Minds
Today's podcast is an amalgam of ideas, creativity, technical issues, goals, and determination designed to assist you and give advice - if you're ever dumb enough to try to do a podcast.
So, You Want To Be A Podcaster?

Oh, To Be Like Thee...
A faithful listener echoes a question we have heard before: What does it take for me to start a podcast?
You Have To SEE It Through
When God gives you a vision it’s imperative that you see it to the end. There will be some tough times between start and finish but the conclusion of a vision is sweet. Our guys guide us through that process in this episode.
It’s In The Details
So you have a vision but how do you put shoes on the feet of that vision. Dr. Stone and Pastor Wolvin will take us on that journey today on this episode.
I Can See Clearly Now
Are you a visionary? Has God impressed upon you something that he wants for you to do that maybe others can ’t see. Al and Dan look this week at those that are called by God to do something maybe extraordinary.
Oh No … It’s OUR Church
When great harm is done in a church it can be devastating but can be dealt with properly and should. Al and Dan give us somethings to consider if we are ever confronted with allegations of wrong doing in our own churches.
When It’s Another Church
What can, could or should we do if there are allegations made in another church in our affiliation or vicinity? And what should we do when we know the guilty has started attending another church? Two tough ones today but our guys can handle it.
When Allegations Are Made
A Pastor writes into ask what should be done when allegations are made about wrong doing within a church. How should the pastor and people deal with those that may be true or false. Pastor Wolvin & Dr. Stone are on it and you can be assured they are telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth … we hope! LOL

What Should I Do For College?
Whether it be a Bible college or secular there are some choices to make when you think about furthering your education. Cost, distance, courses and atmosphere are just a few things that play into that decision. Al and Dan will guide us on a course that may make that decision just a little easier this week.

The guys take careful steps in guiding us through the process of helping others to be restored to us when hurt by our sinful actions.
Making Wrong … RIGHT!
There is an absence of right in many christian lives today it seems. Sin is brushed off like lint and little is said or done about it in personal lives and within the confines of many churches today. Al and Dan hit hard this week the need and the process of getting right once we have sinned. Listen in as they challenge all of us to be right before our Holy God & with those we may have injur
