Episode #16 - Mitchell Goldstein

Mitchell Goldstein is a friend of ours who has a great story and maybe even a greater voice. Mitchell has career in the world of medical marijuana as he currently works at a local dispensary. We get into his journey with marijuana, both legal and illegal, and how that’s shaped his journey. We also get into the confrontation where Dave asked Mitchell to step away from serving with the volunteer youth ministry staff a few years back. And in case you were interested, we had issues AGAIN with our attempt at video podcasting…so, sorry. 00:20 - Live & Under the Weather 02:20 - Mitchell Intro 03:20 - Canada 07:57 - Orioles vs Yankees 12:02 - Class of 2009 17:27 - Dave’s “Ah huh” Moment 19:20 - Mitchell’s Job 22:00 - Journey with Marijuana 25:47 - Medical Use 32:40 - Illegitimate to Legitimate 37:23 - Mitchell & Student Ministries 41:25 - Dave’s Regrets? 49:18 - What About Now? 53:50 - Dante’s Take on Reconciliation

Episode #15 - Angel Jimenez

On this episode we have our friend Angel Jimenez talk about his weight loss journey and how it’s played a huge part of his entire adult life. We cover more topics like marriage, relocating, redemption, and cheese. Discussing one’s weight may be taboo but Angel is an open book on the subject. We’re hoping this talk brings light to some struggles that people face and we can be better prepared to know how to love and care for our friends who may be struggling with their health in this way. 00:21 - Story Time with Dave 02:30 - Introducing Angel 03:10 - Origin Story 07:54 - Dionne 09:09 - Cheese 10:30 - 1989 15:38 - Angel’s Weight Loss 18:52 - Cancer Diagnosis 22:09 - Top Weight 27:25 - Angel’s “Angel” 30:18 - Surgery Decision 36:03 - Angel’s Father 41:25 - Angel’s Contact Info 43:55 - Speed Round

Episode #10 - Dave Michener

Dave Michener is the executive pastor at Bridgeway Community Church where Dave and I also do ministry. "Pastor Mich" has an inspiring and mostly, in my opinion, faith-led and brave, story. It's a story of uprooting his family to leave Ohio to move to Maryland to be a youth pastor with no Salary! It was his relationship with Dr. David Anderson and his eagerness to be a part of a diverse body of people that directed his path here. It is that same eagerness and pastoral heart that Mich possesses that has led to his relationship with Dave and me where we are hand in hand in ministry. As you'll be able to tell from this episode, Mich just exudes wisdom and life experiences that teach without him "teaching." This is our landmark episode number 10! 00:10 - 83 North 02:40 - Guinness 09:03 - Weird Al Seattle 16:10 - Mich’s Eggs 23:20 - Question Time 35:11 - Mich Almost Dying 43:45 - Balding 53:53 - Mich’s Defining Moment
