In this deeply moving episode of The Clash, hosts Jeff Dixon and Dr. Christopher Whaley sit down with Travis Orndorff, the son of the iconic "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff. Travis pulls back the curtain on the man behind the persona, offering an intimate, raw look at the intense love, famous rivalries, and the complex reality of life within the "kayfabe" culture of professional wrestling. From the terrifying nights of being mobbed by fans to the pivotal decision to break his silence on Dark Side of the Ring to save his father, Travis shares a story of brokenness, redemption, and the ultimate power of faith. This is more than a wrestling interview; it is a profound exploration of family, identity, and the journey to becoming the man God intended. Tune in for this powerful first part of a two-part conversation.

God doesn't merely want an intellectual pursuit—He desires a deep, transformative relationship with your heart that mirrors the beauty and devotion of a sacred romance. Step beyond the obvious, let go of control, and discover the priceless treasures waiting for you as you answer the Father’s call to draw closer to Him.

In Romans 8:28, we're reminded that God works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. But here's the question: Who gets to decide what "good" really means? In this episode of The Carpenter Shop, Jeff Dixon explores the powerful promise of God's faithfulness, drawing from the remarkable story of Joseph to reveal how God can take our victories, failures, disappointments, and even our ugliest moments and weave them into something greater than we could ever imagine. Your past doesn't have to hold you back. When you trust God's purpose, even the hardest chapters of your story can become part of something beautiful. Discover how to look back with gratitude, move forward with confidence, and trust the God who never wastes an experience.

Last week we began a journey by seeing how a giver and gift can echo throughout history. It was eye opening. Today in our time of worship in the Word we will continue to chase that idea. Generosity begins with recognizing that everything belongs to God. Generosity reveals and reshapes the condition of our hearts. Generosity is a different word and understanding what it really means frees us up to discover joy. So get ready, it is going to be another amazing day!

In this message, Jeff Dixon wraps up the miniseries by sharing how you can step out of paralysis and walk in true victory over fear. When we let anxiety take control, we put our faith in what we fear rather than the God who protects us—blinding us to the incredible promises waiting just on the other side. Drawing wisdom from Psalm 91, Psalm 27:1, and the honest prayer of Mark 9:24 ("help my unbelief"), this video will encourage you to push past doubt, trust that God is your fortress, and step boldly into who you were created to be.

In this second installment of the It Gets Scary series, we confront why fear paralyzes us and how we can break free by actively remembering the promises of God. While following Jesus doesn’t mean an absence of trials, Scripture reminds us that God walks with us through every storm, offering a supernatural joy that becomes our deepest source of strength. Don't let fear convince you that your past is safer than the freedom God has in store for you. Dig into Scripture, cling to His unchanging Word, and choose faith over what is merely familiar so you can live the life you were created to live.

In Part 1 of this three-part mini-series, It Gets Scary, Jeff Dixon tackles the crippling reality of fear and how it triggers "purpose paralysis," stopping us right where God wants to use us. If you’ve prayed for peace but still can't seem to shake your anxiety, you might be holding onto the problem tighter than you realize. Learn how to genuinely release your burdens, recognize the spiritual nature of fear, and discover why obedient action is the ultimate antidote to worry. Fear wins the moment you freeze, but when you give it to God and keep moving forward, fear has a lot of trouble keeping up.

Discover how believers can cultivate true discernment, stand firm against fear, and place ultimate trust in God’s perfect, unfailing justice when human systems fail.
