Episode 82 with Jason Paredes
Jason Paredes is the Lead Pastor of Fielder Church, a multi-campus church in the middle of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex with a growing congregation and a God-sized vision to serve the community and beyond. Ever since I first heard him preach, I’ve wanted to find out more from him about praying and fasting, which is such an integral part of his Gospel-centered ministry. Jason is also a husband and father (of six!) expectantly waiting to hear from God as he leads his family and church through 2020. He’s got some great insight and wisdom to share with us today!

Episode 78 with Jim Hampton
Jim Hampton and I met back when we were both young in the faith and looking to grow in the Lord while serving as members of the same church. Our church homes have since changed, but Jim is still out here serving, now in a more official capacity as the outreach pastor of Creekwood Church in Mansfield, TX. In addition to that ministry, he also continues to work in the marketplace, where God provides for Jim and his family. In this episode, we are catching up to talk about the growth we get to experience through discipleship and in serving others.

Episode 77 with Bill Barnett
Bill Barnett is a real estate investor here in the DFW area. He and I met a few years ago through a mutual friend – my real estate mentor, Dennis Henson. Bill has had great success in real estate, authored a book – Are You Dumb Enough to Be Rich?, and has recently started not one but two podcasts! But maybe even more impressive than his career as investor and speaker is his work in the “trenches”, out here ministering to men through the everyday pains of life and pointing them to Jesus.

Episode 76 with Dr. Nate Hearne
Dr. Nate Hearne and I first met in a Texas correctional unit, where I volunteer. At that time, he was the unit chaplain, ministering to the “men in white” day in and day out. I’ve had the privilege of hearing Dr. Hearne, who I know as “Chap”, preach to and share his heart with those guys. As a lifetime educator, he and his wife speak in local school districts and other organizations, looking to encourage the young people before they get into the system. Chap is also a previous guest on the podcast, where we talked about his book Friday Night Lights: Untold Stories from Behind the Lights. In this episode, I’m catching up with him and getting his unique perspective and thoughts on all the things going on in our world today.

Along with mentoring men who live in the Forgiven Felons transitional house, sharing his story in prisons, and assisting families with the intricacies of the Texas parole system, this husband and father of two spends his days running the small handyman business he owns and uses to employ Forgiven Felons.
