Decisions: A Dunham+Company Podcast Dunham Podcast Network

Peter is the CEO of Premier Christian Radio and has been responsible for leading and transforming a struggling radio station into a thriving organization which is helping the UK church communicate the Gospel effectively in a digital age. Over the last few years, Premier has made the decision to take some of what they’ve been doing in the UK and start doing it in a different way in America. It is a fascinating conversation that will be both encouraging and challenging!

Hot-button issues dominating our culture can make speaking out feel taboo. Hiding from hard conversations won’t work. On this episode of the Decisions Podcast, Mike Novotny discusses his newest book, Taboo: Topics Christians Should be Talking About but Don’t, and equips listeners to have hard conversations in a redemptive way.   

In Taboo, author Mike Novotny covers deeply personal, vulnerable, and emotional topics, handling them with grace and respect. It’s the ultimate resource for Christians looking to create change and deal with struggles in their own lives. God’s Word gives us clarity, healing, and hope. Taboo is a must-read for Christians looking for a biblically based resource to modern questions. Not talking is not helping! It’s time for believers to step gracefully into the taboo and share God’s truth with a world in need.  

Mike is the lead speaker for Time of Grace, a global media ministry that is committed to ensuring that God’s grace—His love, glory, and power—is accessible around the world

Have you ever felt alone? Have you ever found yourself in exile? Good news - God is with you in those moments! Dr. Conway Edwards is the founding and senior pastor of One Community Church, a church that includes five campuses across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and a global campus. His wife, Jada, is a renowned speaker and teacher who has been featured on RightNow Media and the annual IF:Gathering (a global women’s conference). It is a real gift to have both on the Decisions Podcast to discuss life as a ministerial couple, thriving in ministry, and how the Lord leads even when we find ourselves in exile. This is a powerful episode! 

Taya Kyle was unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight when she married Chris Kyle, one of America’s greatest heroes. Chris’ story was told in the book and movie, American Sniper.

Here newest book is a children's book, Prayers for Bears, a fun, yet insightful book that takes readers on a delightful journey, teaching them the importance of gratitude in all seasons of life.

Sneaker Culture Is exploding!
 
Sneakerheads own anywhere from 25-75 pairs and buy one to four pairs a month. Sneakers used to just be for sports but now they have become one of the biggest fashion items in the world. Gotta Be Da Shoes takes you on a journey into the world of sneakers and explores the tension of how much is too much. Is it art or addiction..fashion or narcissism?
 
Gotta Be Da Shoes by Pastor Tommy Kyllonen celebrates sneakers and fashion, and Tommy joins the Decisions podcast to creatively challenge listeners to think critically about purpose, identity, materialism, and eternity.
