Episodes
With the Stanley Cup Finals in full swing, Richard laces up a story from the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team - the Miracle on Ice. But before they shocked the world, Coach Herb Brooks delivered a message to his starting goalie that cuts deeper than any pregame speech: “You have a whole other level you’re capable of… but for some reason, you’re not going there.”
That same challenge hits home in our walk with the Lord. What if He’s invi...
On one of the darkest Father’s Day weekends of his life, Richard fell asleep after a long shift flipping burgers at Five Guys. He was burdened and depressed. But that night, something unexpected happened.
In a vivid, Gladiator-style dream set in the heart of the Roman arena, Richard was confronted with a spiritual reality he hadn’t seen before: the battle for his soul wasn’t being lost because of the enemy’s strength… but because of...
This isn’t just another episode – it’s a milestone! Every round-numbered episode, we bring you a roundtable-style chat, and this one is a can’t-miss. We’re joined by local legend Jason Dennis, the award-winning news anchor from Columbus’s #1 station, WTVM.
We dive deep into Jason’s story – from how he landed in Columbus and his rise in the broadcast journalism world to the integrity and faith that guide his work. Jason’s a guy who’s...
What do you get when you mix a Disney roller coaster, a lost stuffed animal, and a very determined dad? That’s right - Richard’s got a story for the ages.
It all started with a family trip to Disney (circa 25 years ago) when Richard’s youngest son’s beloved Stitch (yes, that Stitch from Lilo & Stitch) vanished mid-adventure. The panic! The Disney worker consultations! The heartbreaking realization that Stitch was gone forever!
I...
It started with a cup of ketchup at Five Guys in Poughkeepsie, New York (Yes, really.) A quick moment, a quiet comment from a kid, and suddenly we’re talking about something way bigger: the voices in our heads that tell us we’re not good enough, not strong enough, not whatever enough.
In this episode of Sermons on the Side, we follow that trail all the way to Gideon — a man hiding out in a winepress who gets called “mighty warrior” ...
High school hoops. One bet. Twenty bucks on the line. What started as a simple challenge between friends turned into a life lesson about pressure, expectations, and what happens when things start to crack. In this episode, we talk about how life’s pressure moments reveal what’s underneath - and why having a plan for those moments matters more than we think. Whether you're at the FT line or just trying to hold life together, th...
Have you ever realized - mid-faith journey - that you’ve somehow lost your sense of awe? That the beauty of God, the joy of salvation, and the wonder of grace have started to feel… a little too normal?
In this episode of Sermons on the Side, we explore what it means to recapture spiritual wonder - and how a 90s youth group trip to Six Flags (yes, really) became the unlikely setting for a wake-up call. Through laughter, storytelling,...
What do LeBron James, Bronny’s NBA journey, and a heated moment with Stephen A. Smith have to do with your faith? More than you'd think.
In a recent interview, LeBron recalled a statement he made to his son that stopped us in our tracks: "If you're in love with something, you fall in love with the process, not just the outcome." That one quote sparked a conversation that took us everywhere—from the grind of perso...
