Dan speaks with world renowned surgeon and pioneering medical researcher in the field of Otolarynology, Dr. Bruce Haughey.

In this episode, Dan sits down with Abby Karsten and Chris Gordon. Abby is the Women’s Ministry Leader of the Kirk of the Hills Church in St. Louis, and Christine (Chris) is an author of Bible studies for women and co-founder of At His Feet. They talk a bit about their work in their churches and on writing Bible study curriculum, but spend most of the conversation on a subject, quite literally, close to all our hearts: the body.

On this episode our guest is Ray Cortese, the self-professed “unspiritual” pastor who has spent over 40 years at the same small town church in Florida. Ray shares his own story of his life and call to ministry, and through it offers a candid testimony to all of us about the power of God to transform human ambition for His own purposes.

Matt Pierson has played bass on over a thousand studio albums and for countles concerts, often with essentially no time to prepare. Matt tells us how that is possible, how things really work in a recording studio and how years of experience shape his skills. He explains how his faith shapes his musicianship and enabled him to recover from a catastrophic injury to his hand.

Jessica Patterson Long is a foreign service officer in the US State Department who works to mitigate the effects of the fall in her work — combating food scarcity, terrorism, and harmful leadership.

In this, our final episode of season 2, Dan chats with Dr. Timothy Persons, the chief scientist and one of the managing directors for the Government Accountability Office. We don’t often think about this part of the US government, but they do the essential behind the scenes work of offering scientific, economic, and sociological insight, oversight and foresight into all policies and laws put forward by Congress.
