Do you ever feel like you’re laboring for the Lord without seeing the fruit of your efforts? You aren’t alone. In this episode of The Carpenter’s Shop, we dive into the story of the 70 disciples and Jesus’s gentle warning about placing too much value on “visible success.” True stability comes when we detach our joy from our performance and anchor it in a much deeper reality: our names are written in heaven. Let’s shift our perspective today and find the strength to keep doing the heavy lifting, knowing that our belonging is secure.

Life is rarely a straight line—it’s a series of clashes that shape who we become. In this powerful conclusion to our interview with Diamond Dallas Page, we pull back the curtain on the man behind the persona. From the high-stakes world of WCW to his personal journey of coming to know Christ, DDP shares how his toughest seasons—the broken back, the career-ending warnings, and the “emotional gravity”—became the foundation for his greatest mission: helping others heal. Chris Whaley and Jeff Dixon explore the intersection of faith, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Join us as we discuss why the glass is always half full, why failure is just another step toward the “potter’s wheel,” and how you can apply the champion’s mindset to your walk with God.

Personal decisions carry generational weight. In this episode of “Don’t Be an Esau,” we explore how Esau’s disregard for his spiritual inheritance birthed the Edomites and the spirit of Amalek—a force that preyed on the weak and stood in perpetual opposition to God’s purposes. This isn’t just ancient history; it’s a warning for our own lives. When we treat our God-given birthright as weightless, we create a culture of resentment that eventually turns into a weapon against our own future. Learn why “partial obedience” is a dangerous trap, why you cannot negotiate with habits designed to destroy your legacy, and why choosing the status quo over your calling is a choice to stand in conflict with God. It’s time to stop managing what God has already judged and step into the fullness of the inheritance you were created to guard.

What happens when a community is labeled “cursed”? Today on Urban Legends, we explore the eerie history of Dudleytown, Connecticut. Often called a “ghost town,” its ruins are whispered to be the epicenter of a multi-generational dark legacy tied to the fall of the influential Dudley family in Tudor England. As we examine the tragic fates of those who lived there—ranging from sudden insanity to violent death—we look past the rumors and campfire stories. We’ll analyze where these legends began, why they persist in our culture, and ultimately, what we can learn about God and His followers when we confront the darkest corners of our world.

by Church @ 434 | Sep 11, 2026 | Where was God
On the 25th anniversary of September 11th, we find ourselves reflecting on a question that has echoed through the decades: “Where was God when it happened?” In this moving episode of The Church of 434 in Motion, Jeff Dixon invites us to look past our anger, confusion, and grief to find a powerful perspective. Through a poignant “letter from Jesus,” we are reminded that even in the darkest smoke and deepest pain of that fateful day, God was not absent—He was present in every seat, every prayer, and every final heartbeat. Join us for this time of reflection as we honor the memory of those lost and rediscover the promise that He is with us in our own final moments.
NOTE: The letter’s author Jeff read is unknown.
