Daniel recently conquered Stage 3 and finished an amazing runner-up for Season 11. He is not only a top Ninja Athlete, a world class athlete, but Daniel’s faith in Jesus overcomes obstacles and challenges.

Steve Teel continues to help us enter the story and experience Jesus’ power together using our imagination to receive his inspiration and instruction. This episode: How do some crazy friends take a paralytic to Jesus? How did that happen? What are the different personalities involved? When God closes one door (literally) sometimes it’s time to bust through the roof. We continue our look at the S-U-P-E-R healing acronym and we see not only physical but also spiritual healing in this episode. See ...
Sep 21 Texas Dad interviews close friend and “Nashville Daughter” Abby Grimaldi, singer songwriter, YouTuber, speaker, writer and one half of what I call the RocStar couple. She is born to shine and Abby’s other half is NHL hockey player for the Nashville Predators, Rocco Grimaldi. Abby’s infectious joy and personality is a great blessing to me and to many others. God has placed her and Rocco in just the right place for her career and ministry to continue to develop and thrive. We’ll talk about ...
I’m a simple man for sure but we do like to use our imagination on Simple Man Bible Study and ENTER into the Bible Story so… A lone man approaches Jesus. You immediately realize he has no right to come closer to Jesus or to you. You wait for Jesus to handle this situation. What will he do? Steve Teel talks about all sorts of different healings Jesus gives using the acronym: SUPER healing. S-Spiritual U-Understanding P-Physical E-Emotional R-Relational. In today’s teaching we discover Jesus’ outl...

Very Bold Radio & Podcast is such a BLAST for me to get to do! I love it! But wait there’s more! Very Bold Ministries--we also do sports ministries (NHL & AHL hockey ministries, high school football coaches); children’s books: Bobby Bee A Blessing and youth fiction: Joe Angel The Guardian Games, AND The Peanut Butter Bowl (Listen 0:00-6:00)!

What’s a BAD day for you? Tough day at work? In the gym? At home? With the fam? Some of my bad days are related to technology because for some reason I assume my computer won’t ever crash (it does daily), my iPhone touchscreen will work every day (uh, nope strike two), and other #firstworldproblems. You can also catch me relive my very bad day on the Little League field and at the Pentagon (yeah, that Pentagon part is 100% TRUE and also about 85% misleading) on the podcast. Then… let’s experienc...
I have a big heart for missionaries and an extra soft spot for young missionaries and Charlie Breda definitely fits that category having just graduated high school in May. In just over a month she begins her mission work going literally around the world. In this interview she explains what World Race is, how her initial motivation to do it was changed over time, the intense training, and life-transforming experience she has had without even leaving the country just yet. Young missionaries ready ...
I’ve been blessed and honored to be one of many people in Mike and Dana’s corner this past year as they’ve taken on leukemia and won. I consider Mike a miracle, not just for crushing cancer but also for the work I’ve seen God do in his life. Mike and Dana walk us through their journey, talking about the power of community, power of positive attitude, and Mike’s newly discovered power of prayer in this big win. Mike is a football and track coach at Johnson High School in San Antonio and his wife ...
I’m blessed to meet some amazing people! And thanks to our good friend Kelly J. Stewart I met JP Lane and his wife Crystal. They are the real deal. JP is a daring patriot and US Army veteran who miraculously survived a 200-pound IED explosion in Afghanistan in 2011. JP describes in this interview how he had been on a dark path before God used that to get him back on track. He talks attitude and recovery and his new normal. He tells us about God speaking to him when he was desperate for guidance ...
I think the world of Jordan Binnington, aka Binner, aka JB, aka Binni, aka Winnington. I had the honor to get to know Jordan in San Antonio (AHL's Rampage) before St. Louis called him up and he helped changed the course of the Blues and end their 52-year Stanley Cup drought defeating the Boston Bruins in seven games. The Blues going from worst in the NHL on January 3rd (31st out of 31 teams!) to winning the Stanley Cup is one of the greatest sports stories of my lifetime. Consider this: No NBA, ...
Have you seen the film Run The Race (executive producers Tim Tebow and his brother Robby, now available Blu Ray, DVD, Digital)? Great sports action and soundtrack in addition to really solid acting and of course the story and screenplay itself which brings us to our guest, screenwriter Jake McEntire. The title Run The Race is spot on for the film itself but doubles for the story of the film getting made. Hear Jake’s story and you’ll see the movie was definitely a marathon and not a sprint. You'l...
I love Rocco and his #borntoshine wife Abby (an amazing singer/songwriter talent who will be on the show soon). We are blessed to consider them family and I count Rocco a best friend. But forget that for a minute because what we talk about here is Rocco Grimaldi’s breakthrough year with the Nashville Preds of the NHL, and his breakout playoff series where he led the Preds’ forwards in scoring with 3 goals. We talk about some of the tough times he faced to get to this point and we talk about how ...
The Enneagram is all the rage for understanding personality types, communication, fears, desires, motivations and more. Your Enneagram Coach Beth McCord and Jeff do a fantastic job of using the Enneagram as a tool for all that understanding but all in the light of Jesus Christ and pointing to the Gospel the entire way. In this interview we talk marriage relationships including theirs and how the Enneagram helped them in a profound and important way and I (bold move) even let them take a whack at...
Let's real talk: Anxiety, Enneagram, Calling, and of course Unspoken's awesome new album: Reason. I'm a huge fan of Chad Mattson & Unspoken. Yes-the music: The Cure, Just Give Me Jesus, Higher, Start A Fire and of course: Good Fight which has personal meaning for me and helped demonstrate just how caring, compassionate, real Chad Mattson is (I talk about that to intro this episode). Big heart of gratitude for Chad and Katie and their REAL love for people. Thank you! See omnystudio.com/listen...
Mandisa. I reached out to Mandisa for an interview because when I first talked with her nearly two years ago, we just clicked and connected. I knew talking with her would bless me (selfish) but also bless our listeners (hey, that’s you). What I did not know until we talked off air this time is that she’s in a hard place right now. Off-air she made the decision to go ahead and open up during this conversation about depression and the ongoing battle it is. Just so you know, recognizing we were goi...
Candice Curry is a blast. She’s hilarious, quick-witted, sharp, and the definition of fun. Example: listen as she describes her favorite children. So funny. And yet… her amazing life story in the book you must read: The Con Man’s Daughter brought me to tears many times. The things Candice endured… and then for her to eventually discover grace, love, redemption through Jesus. It’s powerful. So whenever she and I sit down for a talk, it’s always fun (see my first description) and yet always powerf...
I did not know Lisa Burkhardt-Worley before she met me at the KSLR AM630 12th floor studios. I knew of Lisa because when we first moved to San Antonio she was the only female sports anchor in town. She was on KENS 5 (CBS affiliate) and always did a great job. I hadn’t known her vast national sports experience which we talk some about but I also did not know her fascinating powerful story of God getting a hold of her a couple of key times in her life. This interview and her story reminds me of th...
So Bethany Beal and Kristen Clark of GirlDefined are incredible sisters in Christ. Um, and literally sisters of each other. They are impacting girls, young women, and some moms too globally! I first met this dynamic duo while interviewing them for Beacon Radio. When Bethany reached out to me about their new book: Sex, Purity, and the Longings of A Girl’s Heart, I jumped at the chance to interview her again as we get Very Bold Radio & Podcast going! Not only do we talk sex (and somehow I didn...
Yes, I love interviews. But I love the Bible too because in some ways reading and discovering God’s word is like sitting down to interview Jesus. If you watch, listen, ask questions, you’ll discover what I mean. Anyway, today we kick off The Simple Man’s Bible Study Rock The World Part 1. Which is a simple/clever (ish) way of saying we are going to experience Jesus through the eyes and experiences of Peter (see, his nickname Peter = Rock, and so Rock the World? No? Yes? Maybe?). Today we talk ab...
Very Bold Radio & Podcast features a lot of amazing interviews with difference makers from sports, music, authors, entertainment… but ALSO some amazing… well wait… let’s dial that down… solid… okay solid-ish Bible Teaching lol. I am a Simple Man. Burgers. Fries. College Football. Okay and donuts. Okay and God’s word. Hah. But though I am a Simple Man the teaching is for men, women, and youth too. After all some of my biggest fans are in fact women (Hi Kris. Hi Mom. Hi Sis.) and youth (Um. Hi...
A great way to launch Very Bold Radio & Podcast is by interviewing Pat Barrett, singer-songwriter of hits including: Good Good Father, Build My Life, The Way. I’m predicting he’s going to have Tomlin-esque impact for this generation with praise and worship songs. Pat cracked me up too. I flubbed my first line of my first Very Bold show and he laughingly insisted I keep it for y’all—and I agreed lol! Of course we talk music and touring but we also get to some solid marriage stuff and have a g...
