3 Things Prison Time Taught Wally About His Faith

Contrary to popular belief, I have never actually done prison time myself but it is part of my brother’s story. I learned a valuable lesson about God from my brother’s time in prison. I will never forget saying goodbye to my brother the day before he started his 7 year prison sentence. As I walked away from him, my eyes filled with tears, I didn’t see him as a man getting ready to face his… … Continue reading

Photo Op: Winning and Losing All in the Same Photo

Photo Op is where Wally makes us send him the last photo we took on our phones and tell him the story behind it. Which photo do you like the best? It’s funny how the joy of winning and the agony of defeat can be captured in the same photo. My beautiful wife, who does not play golf and is obviously so happy, somehow beat me at Top Golf.  To my credit I didn’t complain… … Continue reading

Michael Tait and Wally Talk Race

Michael Tait, from the Newsboys, is always fun to have on the show.  We had goofed around for a bit but then we got into a serious conversation about the racial tensions we are experiencing today.  I truly think you will find his viewpoint refreshing and enlightening.  If you want to skip ahead to this part of the conversation it starts at (3:50).   … Continue reading

As Believers Let’s Be Better

There is “fake news” from all sides on the internet and as believers it is easy to get offended by things making the rounds that seem to be infringing on our religious beliefs. However, before you just forward something on because it tells you to, make sure you do a little fact finding. Failing to do so only further entrenches the idea that we are all biased, agenda crazed, Christian conspiracy theorists. So why does… … Continue reading

Christy Nockels on Living Life with God Not Just for God

Betty Rock sat down with former Watermark artist, Christy Nockels, to talk about her new book called The Life You Long For.  After spending a large part of her professional career in ministry, Christy was starting to ask questions like, “What if hustling our way through life, doing a lot for God, is actually holding us back from what God truly wants from us?” This was Betty’s interview and I tried my best to not… … Continue reading

If This Makes You Gag, It’s Colton Dixon’s Fault

In honor of Colton Dixon’s amazing song “Miracles,” I came up with a little game for him to play called Miracles-Whip. We did a deeper dive with Colton. We talked some old American Idol and some serious God stuff, like when one of his twin daughters was born and was not breathing and how his faith carried him in that moment. We also got to the bottom of some rumors (I may or may not… … Continue reading

Tim Tebow’s New Child is a Children’s Book

Did you know Tim Tebow is dyslexic? I did not.  It was something new I learned about him in this conversation. Tim  is one of my favorite people to have on the show because he is beyond positive. Years ago he would have had a right to be bitter about how things went for him in the NFL, but he chose to rise above that and live out his faith in a way that matched… … Continue reading
