Most of life doesn’t happen in church. It happens at work, around the dinner table, on job sites, in classrooms, behind microphones, in small businesses, on hiking trails, and in countless moments that rarely make headlines. Christians Doing Stuff is a podcast about those moments. Host Daniel Green sits down with interesting people doing interesting things to explore the stories behind what they do and discovering how following Jesus shapes the way they live. These aren’t sermons. They’re thoughtful, curious conversations about faith, stewardship, and purpose, in the everyday places where God is at work. Because following Jesus isn’t just about Sunday morning. It’s about everything in between.

    The Weatherman Behind the Forecast: Finding Purpose Beyond the Spotlight

    Aaron Perlman is probably best known around Bakersfield as “the weather guy.” But spend a little time with him and you quickly realize there’s a lot more going on behind the forecast. In this episode, Aaron shares how an unexpected opportunity turned into a career in television and radio, and how his Christian faith has shaped the way he thinks about the platform that came with it. We talk about what it’s like to be recognized everywhere you go, why leading worship means so much to him, and how he tries to make sure the person people see on TV is the same person they’d meet in real life. Aaron also opens up about some of the less visible parts of his story, including the role music has played in his life and why escaping into the mountains has become such an important reset for him. More than anything, it’s a chance to get to know the person behind one of Bakersfield’s most familiar faces. Closing Music: “Everything I Need” by Aaron Joel

    The Esports Center Owner Bringing Gamers Together: Can Gaming Build Real Community?

    Jason Maples has spent much of his life around video games, but when he opened an esports center, his goal wasn’t to give people another reason to sit alone behind a screen. He wanted to create a place where gaming could actually bring people together. In this episode, Jason and I talk about the rapidly growing world of esports, gaming addiction, online influencers, professional gamers, and the surprising community that can form when gamers move from isolated bedrooms into the same room. Jason also shares the story behind opening Bakersfield Esports Center and why creating a safe, family-friendly environment has become such an important part of its mission. We also get into the tension Christians face with technology that can be used for both good and bad, how Jason’s faith influences the way he runs his business, and what it looks like to intentionally bring light into a culture rather than simply walking away from it.

    The Chick-fil-A Operator Building More Than a Business: How Faith Shapes the Way He Leads

    Troy Hess has spent more than a decade as a Chick-fil-A operator, but for him, running a restaurant is about a lot more than chicken, sales, or hitting the right numbers. In this episode, Troy shares what it takes to build a strong workplace culture, develop young employees, lead with integrity, and genuinely care for the people entrusted to him. We also get into Chick-fil-A’s unique operator model, why Troy doesn’t believe in simply “coaching to the scoreboard,” and how he approaches everything from hiring and accountability to difficult conversations with his team. And throughout it all, we talk about how Troy’s Christian faith shapes the way he leads, the responsibility he feels toward the people around him, and what it can look like to live out your faith through the work you do every day.

    The Superintendent Who Changed His Mind About Technology: Have Schools Gone Too Far?

    What happens when a school superintendent who once championed classroom technology starts to wonder if schools have gone too far? Bryan Easter has spent more than 20 years in education, and he’s watched technology transform the classroom from the inside. In this episode, Bryan shares why he changed his mind about screen time in schools, what hours on Chromebooks and other devices may be costing students, and why he believes it’s time to bring the pendulum back toward the middle. We talk about how COVID accelerated one-to-one technology in schools, Bryan’s own 75-day experiment with a flip phone, the effects of screen time on kids, and what parents can do to better understand how technology is being used in their child’s classroom. Bryan also shares the grassroots effort he’s leading to influence education policy in California. And ultimately, we get into the bigger question behind Christians Doing Stuff: how Bryan’s Christian faith shapes the way he approaches education, leadership, relationships, and the work he believes God has given him to do.
