In this high-energy episode of The Clash, hosts Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley welcome a true icon of the squared circle: WWE Hall of Famer and multi-time World Heavyweight Champion, Diamond Dallas Page (DDP). At an age when most athletes are looking toward retirement, DDP was just beginning his legendary climb, proving that with relentless work ethic and God’s grace, it is never too late to reinvent yourself. Page opens up about the “emotional gravity” of being told he was too old and too “over the top,” his early days as a manager for legends like Scott Hall, and the miraculous recovery from a broken back that birthed the global phenomenon of DDP Yoga. From the creation of the devastating Diamond Cutter to a chance encounter with Mel Gibson, this conversation explores the intersection of faith, grit, and the determination to never “tap out.” Whether you are a lifelong wrestling fan or someone searching for the spark to start your own life-changing comeback, this interview will challenge you to see your obstacles as opportunities for growth.

In the second installment of the “Ignite Gratitude” series, Jeff Dixon moves beyond the science of thankfulness to explore the ultimate source of truth: the Holy Scriptures. While many view thankfulness as a mere emotion, Jeff reveals how the Bible establishes gratitude as a consistent spiritual mandate from Leviticus to Revelation. Through the examples of King David, the Prophet Daniel, and the Apostle Paul, we see a pattern of worship defined by thanksgiving. Most importantly, we look at the life of Jesus, who gave thanks not only for miracles but even in the shadow of the cross. This episode challenges us to stop waiting for the “feeling” of gratitude and instead embrace it as a biblical command and a daily choice. Discover how being rooted in Christ leads to an overflowing heart and prepare yourself for the practical applications coming in the final part of this series.

In this concluding episode of our series on the Bennington Triangle, host Jeff Dixon shifts the focus from the chilling disappearances of the Vermont wilderness to the profound spiritual lessons hidden within the mystery. While the urban legend is filled with uncertainty and even some historical embellishment, it serves as a powerful metaphor for our own walk with Jesus. Jeff explores how the “unknowns” of life—much like the dense woods of the triangle—can lead us to trust more deeply in God’s plan, value the strength of community, and face our fears with the confidence of Isaiah 41. Discover how the fragility of life and our need for divine guidance can transform a spooky legend into a roadmap for living a purpose-driven, “legendary” life of faith.

Faith is often treated as a formal routine, but what happens when we view our relationship with God as a creative, wild adventure? In this engaging session, we move beyond “church terminology” to explore the heart of God through a series of thought-provoking prompts. Starting with a hilarious story about a musical “disaster” and a live-mic blunder, the discussion transitions into a “Big Wheel” activity that challenges us to reframe our spiritual lives. From describing your current walk with God as a weather forecast or an emoji to finding divine purpose in life’s inconveniences, this video explores how God uses laughter, gratitude, and daily conversations to speak directly to us. Join us as we learn to embrace the imagination of a God who doesn’t just want your rituals—He wants your heart, your joy, and your authentic self.

In this session of “Connect,” we dive deeper into the aftermath of our study on temptation and the “Beyond the Headlines” series. We tackle a provocative question from the audience: Was Satan an idiot to challenge God? Explore the desperate nature of the enemy, the danger of modern teachings that mix 99% truth with 1% lies, and why Jesus’ experience in the wilderness serves as a unique firsthand account of spiritual warfare. Whether you’re navigating the “messy nights” of life or looking to strengthen your walk, discover what it truly means to “GET TOUGH” through total reliance on God and full-throttle faith. Temptation may not get easier, but with the right weapons, you can get better at standing your ground.

In this episode of Hit in the Head with a Hymnbook, host Jeff Dixon dives into the 1883 classic “There Shall Be Showers of Blessing.” While many of us remember this song from Sunday mornings spent flipping through physical hymnals, its true power is revealed through the incredible survival story of Howard Rutledge. Held as a prisoner of war in Vietnam for seven years, Rutledge had no Bible and no pastor—only the memories of the gospel choruses he learned as a child in Tulsa. Discover how a sudden monsoon in a dark prison camp brought the lyrics of Ezekiel 34 back to his mind, providing the spiritual “showers” he needed to endure the unthinkable. It is a powerful reminder that the truths we store in our hearts today may become our greatest lifeline tomorrow.
