Is it possible to find a spiritual lesson in an “Elf” costume or a “Would You Rather” game? On this episode of The Clash, Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley celebrate the season by clashing tradition with a bit of holiday chaos.
While the questions start with tinsel and reindeer, the conversation leads us to a deeper reflection on the “silent night” where God whispered to the world, and the joy of the arrival of a Savior. Pull up a chair, grab a mug of cocoa, and join us for a conversation that aims to entertain, educate, and encourage your faith this Christmas.

Most of us know the story of the manger, but have you ever looked at the “paper trail” God left behind? In this special Christmas episode of The Clash, Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley dive into the staggering details that prove Christmas wasn’t just a beautiful moment—it was a perfectly executed divine plan. We explore why much of the world missed the Messiah despite 600 years of precise prophecy and discuss the fascinating historical lineage of Mary’s father as a “Keeper of the Scrolls,” a detail that sheds new light on her faithful response to the angel. This conversation unpacks the profound vulnerability of the “Mighty God” becoming a dependent baby and examines the lasting significance of the four powerful titles found in Isaiah 9:6. Join us as we reflect on how the Prince of Peace can step into the midst of your modern chaos to bring divine order and grace. Don’t let the season fly by without slowing down to see the hand of God in the details that often get lost in the holiday rush.

We all know what we should do as parents, but what about the things we should absolutely avoid? Welcome back to The Clash, where Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley have been displaced from their usual wrestling ring to a spot by the Christmas tree to deliver Part 2 of their parenting series. This episode is packed with practical, Biblical advice on the guardrails every parent needs to set—not just for their kids, but for themselves.
In this discussion, Jeff and Chris tackle the most critical errors to avoid in Christian parenting. They explore the destructive nature of the “comparison trap” between siblings, the vital importance of maintaining a united front so kids don’t play parents against one another, and why you simply cannot outsource your child’s spiritual growth to a youth pastor. They also highlight the “Christmas Store,” a powerful ministry model designed to restore dignity to parents while providing miracles for teenagers in the community. Grab your copy of Away from the Manger, sit down by the tree, and join the conversation as we clash with the culture of modern parenting.

Parenting is the hardest job on the planet. But are we focused on the right goals? On this episode of The Clash, Jeff and Chris dive into “Parenting by the Book.”
From the “grape juice on the white couch” disasters to the importance of being your daughter’s first date, we are breaking down the practical things you must do to survive and thrive as a parent. We discuss why you need to pray before you react, why you should apologize to your children, and why the goal isn’t just to raise great kids—but to raise Godly adults.

In this episode of The Clash, Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley challenge the traditional view of Thanksgiving. They unpack the concept of “Thanks Living”—the intentional choice to live with gratitude every single day, not just when the turkey is on the table.
Jeff and Chris dive deep into the science and spirituality of thankfulness. They discuss how gratitude rewires your brain to reduce stress and boost immunity, but they also tackle the hard questions:
How do you find gratitude when life falls apart?
What is the “Gratitude Gap” and how do you cross it?
Is there a “ceiling” on how thankful you can be without a relationship with Jesus?
From hilarious stories about “Bless God” testimonies to poignant reflections on leading through COVID and health scares, this episode is packed with humor, heart, and practical steps. Plus, get the details on the 30-Day Thanks Living Challenge that could change your outlook on life.
