In this powerful episode of Very Bold Radio and Podcast, host Steve Teel sits down with Coach Joey Saxe, the newly appointed Assistant Athletic Director for Corpus Christi ISD and former head football coach at Akins High School in Austin. Coach Saxe shares his incredible journey of leadership, transitioning from a Title I high school football stadium to a larger district platform designed to resource and champion the next generation of educators and athletes.
At the heart of this conversation is a breathtaking, unexplainable miracle. Coach Saxe opens up for the first time about his son Easton’s 100-day battle in the NICU after being born at just two pounds. He recounts the exact moment he prayed in a hospital chapel, asking God to transfer his son’s pain onto himself—only to witness a medical anomaly weeks later when severe brain bleeds completely resolved themselves, leaving doctors entirely speechless.
Beyond the miracle, this episode is a masterclass in servant leadership. You will hear the genius "secret sauce" behind how Coach Saxe grew the Austin-area Peanut Butter Bowl into a community powerhouse—utilizing popsicles, pizza parties, and high school mascots to collect over a ton of peanut butter for local food banks. From achieving a 100% senior graduation rate to intentionally embedding core values across an entire school campus, Coach Sacks proves that a whistle is a tool for eternal transformation.
Key Takeaways From This Episode:
- The Power of a Visionary Coach: Why the lights on the stadium field eventually turn off for everyone, and why anchoring student-athletes in academics changes generations long after sports are over.
- The NICU Miracle: A raw, firsthand testimony of a father’s desperate prayer, a physical manifestation of taking on a son's pain, and a medical resolution that secular science could only call "unexplainable."
- Bridging the Campus Divide: How Coach Saxe built deep, intentional relationships with classroom teachers—from helping them unpack cars on day one to orchestrating formal, team-wide appreciation nights.
- The Peanut Butter Bowl Blueprint: Practical advice for young coaches on how to turn a simple community service project into a highly competitive, massive multi-school movement.
- Answering the Call: Understanding when to stay, when to step through an open door, and how to constantly strive to leave a place better than you found it.
"Coaches will impact more kids in one year than most people will in their entire lives." — Billy Graham

What does it take to keep grinding when the stadium lights fade, your organization is no longer behind you, and you are left facing a grueling two-year recovery entirely on your own?
In this powerful episode of Very Bold Radio and Podcast, host Steve Teel sits down for a dynamic third interview with professional baseball pitcher and certified flamethrower, Jacob Coats. After touching an unofficial 101 MPH on the radar gun and pitching within the Houston Astros organization, Jacob faced a career-altering hurdle: a torn UCL ligament requiring major Tommy John surgery.
Jacob opens up about the silent, lonely two-year battle of rehabilitation without a team holding him accountable, the profound mental and spiritual warfare he faced in empty training facilities, and the unique motivating factors—including family, his fiancee Emily, and the future dream of playing catch with his own children—that kept him from walking away.
Fast forward to last season: signed by the Gary SouthShore RailCats, Jacob transitioned into a dominant new role as a true, high-adrenaline closer. He shares what it felt like to lock down 13 saves, post a 2.89 ERA, hold opposing hitters to a staggering .195 average, and ultimately earn a spot at the 2025 American Association All-Star Game.
Beyond the stats, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the raw reality of independent baseball—from 11-hour overnight bus rides and bed bugs to the incredible power of stadium chaplains and team prayers. More than anything, Jacob shares how he uses his baseball platform not for personal glory, but as a bold testament to God’s healing power and presence.
Key Takeaways & Highlights
- The Mental & Spiritual Battle of Rehab: Jacob details the deep isolation of a two-year recovery outside of affiliated ball, explaining how he leaned on the power of prayer and explicitly rebuked negative thoughts to protect his mind during the hardest days.
- Thriving Under Pressure in the 9th: Discover the strict, granular 12-to-14-hour daily routine of an independent ball player and why Jacob thrives on the "do-or-die" adrenaline of slamming the door shut as a closer.
- The Reality of the "Indy Ball" Grind: A candid look at the unglamorous side of chasing a dream, featuring late-night drives, hostile hotel environments, and the deep player camaraderie built through shared struggle.
- America's Pastime as a Platform: Why baseball serves as a unique bridge for patriotism, family connection, and spreading the Gospel.
- A Full-Circle All-Star Moment: Jacob recalls his favorite highlights from the past season, including closing out a spectacular Friday night game with his parents on the field to watch the fireworks with him for the first time since his surgery.
"Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold." — 2 Corinthians 3:12

What happens when your theology collides with reality on the mission field? In this powerful episode of Very Bold Radio and Podcast, host Steve Teel sits down with San Antonio native Steven Navarro, who has spent the last 11 years serving across the globe with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). Fresh off the plane from Amsterdam, Steven shares incredible, firsthand accounts of the supernatural—from a shriveled ear opening in a Bangkok street-food market to supernatural food multiplication at an orphanage, and the unexplainable appearance of gold dust and thick oil.
But this isn't just a collection of wild miracle stories. Steven opens up about the deep "spiritual dissonance" that occurs when you witness God move in power overseas while your own family members are facing severe illnesses back home. Diving into Matthew 11, Steven unpacks the profound question John the Baptist asked Jesus from a prison cell, uncovering a vital truth for every Christian navigating the tension between hard realities and supernatural faith.
Key Takeaways & Highlights
- The Bangkok Street-Food Miracle: Steven recounts the nerve-wracking moment he felt a prompt from the Holy Spirit to pray for a Thai street-food vendor with a completely shriveled, deaf ear—and what happened when he stepped past the cultural barriers to touch it.
- God's Power: Unpacking the phenomena of gold dust on Bibles and thick oil pooling in empty palms, Steven shares how his early skepticism gave way to viewing these unexplainable signs as gentle, encouraging "winks" of God's presence.
- Why Miracles "Split the Room": A fascinating look into why supernatural breakthroughs often stir up complex emotions, sometimes leading to half the room rejoicing while the other half struggles with frustration or offense.
- Navigating the Dissonance of Faith: How to handle the painful tension of seeing a stranger healed on the mission field while your own loved ones are still waiting for a miracle.
- The Blessing of Not Being Offended: A beautiful, slide-by-slide deep dive into Christ’s response to John the Baptist in Matthew 11: "Blessed is the one who is not offended by me." Learn how to choose trust and protect your heart from spiritual resentment when God's timing doesn't match your expectations.

Steve Teel dives into scripture for a special teaching on this edition of Very Bold Radio!
Steve Teel walks through and talks through a story of waiting. Waiting for Jesus to answer, to show up, to do something. It’s John 11 where Mary and Martha are frustrated but faithful as Jesus does not immediately come to heal their brother’s illness. Steve also highlights Martha’s often overlooked faith and leadership as well as Jesus’ empathy with us and for us no matter what trouble, challenge, or problem we face. Jesus brings resurrection life and loves to involve us in his answer.

Steve interviews "Finding Faith" star Ashley Bratcher (also starred in "Unplanned") as they talk about Ashley finding faith in Jesus Christ with the birth of her son. In the following segment, Steve shares a message about facing mountains with Jesus' help. Steve and Ashley's conversation covers a lot in a short time: faith talk on how does Ashley describe herself in relationship to Christ, how she grew in her faith and the transformation that took place, the importance of forgiveness, as well as touching on softball, favorite burgers, and of course her new movie, Finding Faith, available on Great American Pure Flix right now. Though Ashley was a lead-off hitter in softball (not a lot of home runs expected there) Steve scores her Finding Faith performance as a Home Run. There's much more to Ashley Bratcher than this 15 minute conversation but this 15 minutes is pure joy!
Steve shares a brief (7 minutes) message on facing mountains with Jesus' help and how the "abundant life" Jesus offers works with those imposing mountains.

Steve Teel interviews singer-songwriter Ben Fuller on this edition of Very Bold Radio!
Steve Teel not only will carry Ben Fuller’s guitar case any day, he will interview him any day and twice on Tuesday. Ben is the singer songwriter of hits: Who I Am (8 million streams on Spotify alone), But The Cross, If I Got Jesus, and new songs you just have to hear for yourself: Proud (we go deep into this powerful song on Father-child relationships), Other Plans (what a story!) and many more.
In this interview Ben promises (threatens?) to do a backflip (shoutout Logan Cain), even sings a little “Cain”, and references conversation with the Cain band and Taylor Cain Matz about the power of God’s word and the dangers of neglecting God’s written word.
Ben talks about the blessing of the platforms given to musicians but also that we ALL have gifts from the Lord and must lean into our special gifts.
He shares a story on Mark Hall of Casting Crowns about being on stage and how easy it is to not invite the Holy Spirit to the party.
Ben is currently on tour with We Are Messengers and Jonathan Traylor and talks about the show being realness, sweet, kind, without the competition that sometimes can be found.
Most of the second half of the interview (16 minutes to 32 minutes) is spent going into the story (and backstory) of the song, Proud, as well as talking about how the love of God brings healing to relationships. This is powerful song and also powerful story here of how God can bring healing to father-child relationships.
Ben Fuller has depth in his relationship with Christ. That depth comes out in his songs and in his conversations and in this interview.

Stephen and Brittney Simpson join Steve Teel on this edition of Very Bold Radio and Podcast!
"The Boy Who Swims With Jesus"
Steve Teel Interviews Steven & Brittany Simpson and even gets to meet Hunt: “The Boy Who Swims With Jesus.” Steven and Brittany recount the miraculous story of Jesus swimming with 1 ½ year old Hunt (now going into 6th grade).
Steven & Brittany Simpson (parents of Hunt, “the boy who swims with Jesus,”) recall when Hunt at 1 ½ years old fell into a pool (only God knows for how long) discovered by Grandma (“Honey”); paramedics revive Hunt and the process of getting him to hospital care begins. Under observation at the hospital, little Hunt walks the hall with his parents and stops for a length of time pointing at an angel statue, staring while Hunt pointed at the statue (there is a photo of this).
Fast-forward to a year or so later, and Hunt’s routine at his day school is to greet the statue of Jesus at his school, “hey, Jesus.” One day, Hunt tells his mom, “Jesus was in Honey’s (grandma) pool.” Brittany replied, “What did you say?” Hunt repeats, “Jesus was in Honey’s pool.”
Steve, Steven, and Brittany talk more about the impact this encounter with Jesus has had on the entire Simpson family.

Henry Jarju Part 5 The Finale
In this concluding episode we pick back up with Henry attending DTS for Youth With A Mission in January 2020 which is curtailed by the COVID Pandemic.
During this time, Henry’s friend starts a ministry to bring food to people that are homebound. Of course, Henry is all in for helping out. He enlists YWAM’s help to do so and they share the gospel and pray with people living in isolation and loneliness. This ministry has continued to this day.
Henry decides during his DTS (Discipleship Training School) that he wants to go deeper into Bible knowledge. He observes David who was going through SBS (School of Biblical Studies, a further step available after DTS), constantly studying and reading his Bible.
0:00-12:00
Henry discusses God’s call to him and his fiancé to move to Italy to be a missionary there and support refugees who are trying to find their way. They will work at the YWAM base there and know that with all his experiences as a refugee they will be able to encourage, love, disciple, and train other refugees. Ever the learner, Henry may also take an online pastoral course. This will be at YWAM Ragusa in Sicily, Italy.
Steve reminds listeners and viewers that God may call them to support Henry and his fiancé’s new mission work.
12:00-22:00 Henry, David, and Steve move towards the conclusion of this special series.
Steve invites Henry and David to share closing remarks and thoughts. David shares that Henry is such a great representation of the image of God as loving one another.
Steve asks Henry to close our 5 part series with a prayer in the language of his choice. Henry chooses Mandinka, which is spoken as a first-language by the most Gambians: 38%.

Part 2 Henry Jarju: One Refugee’s Journey
After a brief break David Teel thanks Henry Jarju for sharing this painful journey. Reflecting upon these memories is difficult but Henry states, “It is by God’s grace that I’m still alive and without Him, I wouldn’t be here.”
The emotions and feelings are strong.
0:00-5:00
Picking up from Part 1 cliffhanger where Henry is plotting his escape. The human trafficker’s brother is at the compound living but does not agree with his brother’s trafficking.
In the middle of the night Henry decides he must escape but leaves everything behind but his Bible.
Luckily after the gunfight - the security patrol had fallen asleep. Henry jumps the fence and goes to seek a hiding place for the night before he hopes to proceed to the transportation station / garage where he plans to catch a ride to his next destination.
A man he runs into gives him directions to the garage but warns him that is the first place his captors will look. Henry is “very, very afraid.”
He finds a taxi driver who will charge him more than the money he has so the driver kicks him out.
Another man, a Christian sees Henry’s Bible and asks if he is a Christian. This man has compassion on Henry and tries to help. The taxi begins to fill up with other passengers until the driver decides to take Henry too.
That drive was 15-16 hours drive to Algeria.
Henry is truly alone as his friend had not needed to escape. He sleeps by himself on the street and the next day he meets other refugees from Gambia including one elderly man who develops a strong friendship with Henry. Henry’s brother sends him some money for food. He remains in Algeria for 4 months.
He teams up with his new elderly friend for living and saving up together. This man also has skills to captain the boat / raft from Libya to Italy.
They live in a center with dormitories where several thousand refugees stay.
Unfortunately a fire breaks out one night at the center that many people are unable to escape and die. Henry and his friend escape though the friend breaks his ankle jumping over the barbed wire fence. Again he was homeless.,
2 days later Henry receives word that his father has died.
A week after this Henry’s elderly friend steals his money and leaves. He is now stranded without any money but what he has in his pockets. He felt cursed and that led to isolation and depression. “It was hard. I don’t know how to put it into words.”

A Five-Part Special Very Bold Series “Henry Jarju: One Refugee’s Journey.”
This is Henry Jarju’s journey as a refugee from The Gambia seeking better opportunities in Europe. Henry shares his harrowing yet inspiring story in this five-part interview (with David Teel and Steve Teel as interviewers). The emotions and memories are strong as Henry faced death many times, was robbed, beaten, kidnapped and imprisoned by human traffickers. He was severely beaten after a daring escape attempt from traffickers. Henry survived shipwreck, a deadly fire, betrayal, and the desperate defeat of death hanging over his head and the feeling of truly being all alone. The many obstacles Henry Jarju faced over and over again are a testimony of Henry’s amazing endurance and of God’s providence and grace.
Here in Part 1 - From Amsterdam, Netherlands (YWAM Youth With A Mission) Close friend David Teel (guest co-host) introduces Henry Jarju to his dad and host Steve Teel (Very Bold Radio & Podcast VeryBold.com Ministries based in Texas) and gives background on Henry Jarju’s current ministry with refugees, the homeless, and soccer ministry. (0:00-6:00)
Henry talks about his brand new engagement to be married. (6:00-12:00). Henry’s faith and love and knowledge of God’s Word shines through in this story.
Henry introduces his story as being from The Gambia. The Gambia is significantly majority Muslim though Henry grew up Catholic. He will explain as we go on that he was not yet a born-again believer in Jesus (some of his brothers were so). He was living for vanity and money and things of the world at this time.
Henry explains that most Gambian youth desire to move to Europe or USA.
He sets up that his journey will mean traveling across the Sahara Desert before setting out by boat across the Mediterranean to Italy. (12:00-24:00)
No one on his family approved or supported Henry’s decision to take this risky journey. His dad cautions him against this dangerous plan.
Knowing that his family did not approve, Henry begins his journey without telling his family goodbye.
He embarks on journey with his Bible, some money, and one friend but quickly runs out of money. Henry understood his family not being supportive but it was still very painful and he felt all alone in a country where he did not speak the language. But he continued on. Living in the streets in the country of Mauritania for 3 weeks and looking for any day labor job.
Henry explains the next destination was the country Mali and then across Sahara Desert in a truck (approximately 25-30 people in the truck) to go through Algeria. The journey across the Sahara will take 4 days in the midst of hostile rebels and land disputes.
The truck breaks down, is fixed, but soon runs out of fuel in the middle of nowhere. No shade except for laying under the truck. “For the first time in the desert, I felt like … this is it… we all lost hope.”
The next day United Nations peacekeeping soldiers come upon them and help with food and water.
Refreshed with water and hope the group heads out again. Just two hours later they encounter rebel soldiers. (24:00-42:00).
Henry explains the rebels surrounding their truck, pointing their guns at them. One by one the rebels go through their bags taking whatever they want: phones, money. They are forced to take their clothes off. Henry had hid his money inside a body cream tube and it was not discovered.
The rebels beat the sojourners with lashes and threaten them to reveal where their money is. The rebels then leave—but even take the last of the water the refugees had received. That was the third day.
(42:00-53:00)
They run into a different group of rebels who force the refugees to their camp. This group of rebels then sell the refugees to human traffickers. The human trafficker is Senegalese and this gives Henry comfort for a brief time as he speaks the same language. Then as the man becomes angry Henry realizes the dire situation that they are in the hands of human traffickers. He is forced to call his dad and ask for ransom money to release him. His dad reminds him he had told him not to go and will not send money. Henry then calls one of his sisters who pledges to send money though he knows she does not have any money to send. But his captor incorrectly believe she will.
Some of the other captives Henry learns have been there for 7 or 9 months but had not been able to pay off the full ransom amount. He then learns that these other captives are permitted to go work outside the compound to pay down the ransom.
Henry calls a brother and explains the troubling situation. Henry speaks in a language his captive doesn’t know and tells his brother he will try to escape but to tell the man that he will send the money.
Henry is warned by other captives not to attempt an escape because he will be caught and taken back to the rebels.
Henry’s friend’s family is able and willing to pay the fee for his friend. But Henry must attempt to escape.
That night the rebels and Algerians engage in a gunfight and Henry is determined to try his escape despite warnings not to.
(53:00-1:08:00) This ends Part 1.

Introduction
0:25
Steve introduces himself and the second part of the crossover podcast with Ricky Maldonado from River City Church in New Braunfels. He enters the point in the interview where he is talking about scraps: scripture raps, and how they are born of the idea that we have to fight off the lies of Satan with God’s truth, and how music is helpful in memorizing those powerful scriptures.
1:48
Ricky talks about a declaration used weekly at River City Church: “We are badly broken. We are deeply loved.” Steve says putting those phrases together equals: We are God’s Masterpiece. He talks about Ephesians 2:10, and God declaring us as good.
5:20
Steve shares about one of his favorite stories – when Jesus first meets Peter. He calls Peter a rock. He sees Peter for who God will make him.
6:22
Ricky asks Steve what brought him to River City Church. Steve talks about his obedience to God, and how that has helped shape his life and his ministry, even through struggles. He shares the incredible story of how he came to be the youth pastor at River City for three years.
12:40
Steve talks about how God urged him to “win” this job among the other candidates, and how he and Jason Powers worked out the arrangement they had for Steve to work there and to continue his work with Very Bold Ministries. He also talks about how he came to go back full-time with Very Bold.
16:32
Steve explains that everything done through Very Bold is funded by ministry donors, including family, friends, and ministry partners, and how faithful God has been in that.
17:23
Ricky and Steve talk about this year’s Peanut Butter Bowl. They talk about the exponential growth, and how schools are actually reaching out to him now wanting to participate, and how coaches are inviting other schools. They are up to 37 Peanut Butter Bowls, meaning 74 high school communities. Steve talks about how the food is distributed to hungry kids. Ricky discusses the merits of Peanut Butter Bowl.
21:37
Ricky asks Steve if someone found a book 150 years from now about Steve Teel, what the title and the inside blurb would be. He answers “Against all Hope” and explains why.
23:07
Ricky asks Steve who he would invite to a dinner party if he could invite any three people, dead or alive, and you can’t say Jesus. He answers: Moses’ mom, Moses’ sister, and Joseph, and explains why.
26:58
Ricky asks what Steve does when he’s stuck in traffic, about what it would be like if he were living off the radar, what animals he would save if he were building the ark, and a few other interesting questions. It’s a great opportunity to get to know Steve better! Their friendly banter is refreshing.
33:18
Ricky starts to wrap up, and asks Steve where people can find out more about him and his ministry: verybold.com and peanutbutterbowl.com and steve@verybold.com. Steve thanks Ricky and closes out the show. He reminds the audience that God is with them and for them and that His presence is powerful and encourages them to hold onto that and be very bold!

Introduction
0:25
Steve talks about his typical kind of interview, and how this show is different. He says he is going to be the interviewee this time, being interviewed in two parts by Ricky Maldonado of River City Church New Braunfels.
1:20
Ricky comes on the mic and introduces his podcast, River City Church Talks, and introduces Steve, who encourages Ricky. The podcast vision is to get a look behind the scenes at the church. Ricky talks about Peanut Butter Bowl and Steve thanks him for his help with Very Bold Ministries, and acclaims Ricky’s skills that also helped him when he was the youth pastor. They discuss the joys and challenges of working together.
5:30
Steve talks about Super Powers, the behind-the-scenes show Steve was wanting to get produced, and how Lead Pastor Jason Powers has comedic rants that would be well-documented by the kind of people who created Duck Dynasty.
6:20
Ricky brings up Steve’s recent sermon Being God’s Masterpiece using his favorite verse in Ephesians (2:10). Ricky used to be in a youth group called Masterpiece. The root of it was that same verse.
7:49
Ricky shares about Steve going into the story of Moses, which Ricky begins to brief the audience on in discussion with Steve.
9:44
Steve talks about how Moses was a defender of justice, and about how his biggest mistake, killing the slavemaster, didn’t disqualify him for the important work God had for him. Steve highlights the comedic elements of how Moses recorded the story.
11:20
Ricky discusses how the people of Israel were crying out, looking for God, and how it would be easy to be cynical. But, God was listening, and He answered them in His own timing. Steve talks about how God uses all of our pain and misery for a purpose, and says we have to always look and see where God is at work.
12:36
Ricky brings up in Exodus 3:7 how God heard the groaning of his people. God remembered the covenant. Steve points out: God knew. God is too loving to stay on the surface, and is invested in a real relationship with us. They discuss how we often take God for granted, and how God chooses the best timing for things to happen, allowing us to grow.
16:08
Steve says his heart goes out to audience members who are hurting. He wants them to know that God sees them and hears them and remembers them, and God knows the pain they are going through, and for them to have faith that God is going to use that for their good and the good of others.
16:40
Ricky shares that later in the story Moses has run away and has married a shepherdess, and how Satan thinks Moses’ story is over. He reminds Steve of talking about how Satan sometimes uses something we are good at and twists it to cause us to stumble, and they discuss how that played out for Moses. But, God is always ahead of Satan and thinking bigger.
18:36
Ricky says his favorite part of the story is when Moses comes across the burning bush, and how God reminds Moses of who He is. Steve points back to the comedic elements of this part of the story, and how Moses argues with God.
20:45
Steve shares that he loves that you can see in the story that God wants to reveal who he is, to him and to the rest of the world. Ricky mentions that you just never know when God is going to show up, and that we have to be ready.
22:50
Steve shares that he has dealt with in the last year not feeling comfortable with what God called him to do with scrapping. Like Moses, he heard the holy spirit say, “Who gave man his tongue?” He feels like a lot of his ministry life he has been comfortable with, but this year has been a new chapter. God has had to remind Steve that He will equip him. He and Ricky discuss scrapping: rapping scriptures, and how that has come about.
25:10
Steve closes out part 1 of his interview with Ricky and previews that part 2 will air next Saturday, and wraps the episode.

One of the most authentic, real, vulnerable and open interviews I can recall: Darren Mulligan of the amazing band We Are Messengers (Magnify, Come What May, Maybe It’s Ok, Everything Comes Alive, Power, Love) opens up about reevaluating everything the last two years. About feeling “born again, again” and a whole lot more!
Powerful and encouraging:

3:00-4:20 Reevaluating
4:20-5:00 Discipline
5:00-6:00 Darren’s wife asks: “Is this the last record you’ll ever make?”
6:00-6:40 Brand New Album “Wholehearted” already global impact
6:40-7:30 Developing discipline: “I was relying on a secondhand faith…” but… “when I’m eating the Scriptures…—“
7:30-8:20 “…for the first time in my walk as a Christian I’m not struggling to say ‘no’ to sin; I’m not struggling to say ‘yes’ to God…”
8:30-10:40 Discussion with his wife about this (Wholehearted just released) possibly being his last album. Darren talks his deep love of his Ireland but the clear call to America. “13 years ago we said, ‘God we’ll go wherever you want us to go and do whatever you want us to do. And so the Lord has cashed in on that check that we wrote with our mouths and our hearts.”
“I’m an Irishman. I’m from the dirt. I’m from the ground. I’m a blue-collar working class guy. To be a musician is still an alien thing to me.”
10:40-12:00 on holding things too tightly… “I’ve got nothing to pretend anymore. I’m too old…”
12:00-13:00 Not wanting to be cool or trendy with new album. Because “…that’s where the magic is, in being fully yourself inside the fullness of God.”
13:00-15:00 on men being both tender, kind, and also furious and strong.
The western Church’s problem “form of godliness but lacking power of God” — Darren admits, “Too much of my life I had a form of godliness, the appearance of godliness but really my life was an empty tomb.”
“We should be dangerous to the kingdom of Hell.”
15:00-17:00 on men having charisma but not doing a “darn thing to change the world.”
“I am determined. Determined to have character that is greater than my calling. It’s been the wrong way around for too long.”
17:00-18:30 On the devil seeking to kill him, destroy him- but the kindness and power of God that has constrained him (the devil).
So “I get another chance (today) to say ‘yes’ to the only one who has ever really understood me and that’s the King.”

It’s Peanut Butter Bowl time so we are congratulating and talking with Coach Ron Rittimann for Alamo Heights’ incredible 5 1/2 day charge to collect 3,900 jars of peanut butter (current count). We also thank Coach for his leadership with Peanut Butter Bowl overall in inviting and inspiring other coaches to participate to feed hungry children through high school football. Then we talk to our Peanut Butter Bowl MVP donor, Mike Spears. Mike explains his involvement, interest, and generosity and how this year he is spreading the love (and the peanut butter!) to all 20 schools involved in what PB Bowl is calling the Mike Spears Touchdown Challenge. Though Mike is donating $100/50 jars for every Peanut Butter Bowl TD (check the scores of the first 4 games — that’s A LOT of PB already!)— we are inviting people or businesses to do their own team’s Touchdown Challenge and donate 50 jars per TD. Canyon Cougars have two individuals taking the challenge and one taking the brand new defense Turnover Challenge (50 jars per turnover created). If you’d like to take on a challenge reach out through PeanutButterBowl.com contact form.

Simple Man Bible Study Ep. 11 Rock The World. Today on this teaching we’ve got lots of questions. Why in the world did Peter even think to ask to walk on water? Why did Jesus respond the way he did? How did John and Mark talk about Jesus walking on water, but not bother to mention Peter? How did Luke not even talk about Jesus walking on water? And questions for you: What boat are you in right now? Are you stressed? Afraid? Exhausted? Freaked out? And finally—is Jesus looking for some shoulder-shrugging faith from you today or is Jesus asking you to step out of your boat and onto the waves? Either way—Jesus is looking to bring his powerful answer to your life on this episode of Very Bold Radio and Podcast with Steve Teel.
