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 this powerful episode of The Clash, Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley sit down with professional wrestling legend “Dangerous” Danny Spivey for a raw and unfiltered look at a life lived on the edge. From his early days training with Dusty Rhodes and his time as one half of the Skyscrapers to the creation of the hauntingly iconic Waylon Mercy character, Danny shares behind-the-scenes stories of the squared circle and the legends he worked with, including the Undertaker and Mike Rotondo. However, his most grueling match didn’t happen in a ring; it was a battle against addiction and a near-fatal rock bottom. Danny opens up about the harrowing “dangerous truth” of his past, the spiritual intervention that saved his life, and how he found total redemption through faith at age 56. Now 17 years sober, he offers a message of profound hope for anyone who thinks it’s too late to start over, proving that we truly serve the God of the second chance.

In this groundbreaking special episode of The Clash, hosts Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley host the world premiere of the trailer for the highly anticipated film, The Jesus Tapes. Joining them are writer-director Rick Pamplin and producers Maggie Pamplin and Scott DuPont to discuss a cinematic journey nearly 50 years in the making. Inspired by a 1977 conversation with Talia Shire and the Coppola family, Rick Pamplin reveals the intense spiritual and professional battle required to bring this story to life—including his dramatic resignation from the Directors Guild of America to protect the film’s integrity.
Described as “The Blair Witch Project meets The Passion of the Christ,” the movie is built upon the 1927 book The Complete Sayings of Jesus Christ, focusing exclusively on the 33,000 words spoken by Jesus without the filter of man-made rules or denomination. The creators share chilling behind-the-scenes accounts of how the lead actor seemingly “channeled” the Messiah on set, leaving even skeptical crew members in awe. This is not just a movie premiere; it is a call to return to the core, unfiltered message of Christ in a culture of noise and skepticism. Discover why this film is being called a “God thing” for 2026 and how it aims to bypass the “merchandising of religion” to reach a world hungry for truth.

Chris shares fascinating stories from his days in professional wrestling and his personal friendship with the legendary Coach Bobby Bowden, highlighting how a godly influence can transform a locker room. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a competitive athlete, this episode challenges you to keep your love for the game under the Lordship of Christ and to remember that the greatest victory is how you play the game of life.

In this episode of The Clash, hosts Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley dive into the massive intersection of faith and the high-stakes world of athletics. With over 74% of Americans regularly tuning into sporting events, the duo explores how a Christian worldview should shape the way we play, watch, and value competition. From the “crossing of oneself” on the starting line to the vocal testimonies of icons like Tim Tebow and David Robinson, they discuss what it means to be a witness in an arena that often prioritizes victory over virtue.
The conversation gets real as Jeff and Chris tackle the modern challenges facing athletes, including the 24-hour news cycle and the loss of privacy in the age of social media. They even weigh in on the “spiritual language” of trash-talking, using David’s confrontation with Goliath as a surprising point of reference. Whether you’re a professional in the spotlight or a fan in the stands, this episode challenges you to consider how your faith “clashes” with your competitive drive.
Finally, the hosts take a hard look at the “idolatry” of youth sports. Chris shares his firsthand experiences as a sports official, revealing the shocking behavior of parents and coaches—sometimes even at Christian schools—and asks the difficult question: Are we investing more in our children’s athletic careers than their spiritual lives? Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that reminds us that while every trophy eventually collects dust, the way we represent Christ on and off the field has eternal value.
