Did you know the man who voiced Tigger in Winnie the Pooh also invented the artificial heart? In this episode of Seriously, Jeff Dixon explores the incredible true story of Paul Winchell, a legendary ventriloquist whose medical ingenuity was decades ahead of his time. From his collaboration with Dr. Henry Heimlich to the controversial patent history behind the famous Jarvik 7, we uncover how a man known for making us laugh changed the face of modern medicine—and why his contributions were nearly forgotten. Join us as we look at the history of this medical breakthrough and reflect on a deeper spiritual truth: while the world seeks to patent and claim innovation, there is a Creator who offers something far more profound—a brand-new heart for every one of us.

by Church @ 434 | Sep 21, 2026 | A Walk Through the Carpenter Shop
In the Carpenter’s Shop, we often focus on the “finishing process”—those rough edges God is smoothing out to prepare us for His purpose. Today, we look at the Apostle Paul, a tentmaker who understood that his earthly labor was a reflection of a much deeper spiritual truth. Just as Paul crafted temporary dwellings, he recognized that our bodies and our current circumstances are only “tents.” Whether you are in a season of joy or walking through a wilderness, remember that your current situation is not your permanent home. Join us as we explore 2 Corinthians 5:1 and learn why embracing the “campout” of life can change the way you experience every single day.

But the secret to navigating life’s most difficult seasons isn’t in waiting for total clarity—it’s in the courage to keep moving forward. Join us as we explore how to find solid ground through faith, community, and the promise that His grace is enough to carry you through every step, even when the path ahead remains a mystery.

Deep in the woods of Connecticut lies Dudleytown, a place shrouded in tragedy, madness, and a reputation for being one of the most haunted locations in America. From the tragic breakdown of Dr. William Clark’s wife to the ominous warnings of demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, this “ghost town” has captivated paranormal enthusiasts for decades. While local authorities and the Dark Entry Forest Association have strictly closed the land to the public, the legends refuse to die. Are the shadowy figures and disembodied voices truly paranormal, or is this simply the power of a persistent local myth? Join Jeff Dixon as we peel back the layers of history and folklore surrounding New England’s most infamous “cursed” patch of wilderness.

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.
