Joel Franck

Embodying Christ by way of counseling is not pursuing self-protection but walking alongside people in their pain. In this episode, Joel Franck shares about his journey to this end.

PJ Wenzel

The political sphere is a hard world to live in as a Christian. PJ's love for Jesus in this realm has more often than not put his faith to the test. He talks to us about the opportunity to influence political elites and the like by maintaining Spirit-powered integrity and Christ-like love for the people around him. PJ's Bio: PJ Wenzel is an entrepreneur and political consultant. He has worked on political and issue campaigns since 1994 in over 45 US states and internationally on three continents. He’s built and sold a business, has a Masters in Political Management from George Washington University, and is working (slowly) on his masters in theology from Southern Seminary. He is a complete book worm, loves golfing, teaching, trying to paint, travel, Star Wars, and eating good food – and of course the obligatory “long walks on the beach.” He’s worked at the White House, and on four presidential races at all levels, been a golf caddie, valet parked cars, had a paper route, and done darn good janitorial work. He has advised, and been promptly ignored, by dozens of members of congress and parliament, and admires Winston Churchill as the greatest statesman of the 20th century.
