From the nostalgia of Jaws and John Wayne to the controversy of The Exorcist and Harry Potter, they explore how Christians can navigate the world of cinema. They also offer a brutally honest take on modern Christian films and discuss how to use movies as a powerful starting point for faith conversations. This is the fun, unfiltered conversation about faith and film you’ve been waiting for.

Ever wondered why a good golf shot is named after a bird? In this episode of Ask Jeff, we tackle a viewer’s curious question: “What do birds have to do with golf?”
What starts as a fun history lesson—tracing terms like “birdie” and “eagle” back to a single “bird of a shot” in 1903—unexpectedly transforms into a powerful spiritual analogy. Join Jeff as he explores how the fairways, the hazards, and the rules of golf mirror our own walk of faith, reminding us that every shot counts, and our ultimate goal is to finish the course well.
Have a question for Jeff? Send it in! We’d love to answer it.

In 1978, the humble and beloved Pope John Paul I won the hearts of millions. Then, just 33 days into his papacy, he was found dead. The Vatican declared it natural causes, but their story immediately began to unravel.
Welcome to Conspiracy Cases. In this episode, Jeff Dixon opens the file on one of history’s most enduring mysteries. We’ll examine the shocking evidence: false reports about who found the body, a fabricated cause of death, the illegal refusal to perform an autopsy, and a suspiciously fast embalming. The Vatican had an answer for everything, but does any of it add up? You be the judge.

The United States is the most powerful nation in modern history, a country many believe to be a miracle in its own right. So why, when we turn to the pages of biblical prophecy, is there a deafening silence about its role in the end times?
Join Jeff Dixon on “The American Miracle” as we confront this unsettling question. Drawing on the insights of prophecy scholars like Dr. Tim LaHaye, we’ll explore the reasons why the Bible’s ancient prophets may have overlooked the future superpower. This is the first step in a deep-dive investigation into where America fits in God’s ultimate plan. What you discover may surprise you.

Jesus grew and learned in a carpenter’s shop. In that same spirit, we step into the shop to build a deeper faith. This week’s lesson? Learning to please God.
It’s a desire deep in the heart of every believer, but how do we do it in a world of constant communication, social pressure, and daily demands? Using Psalm 69 as our guide, Jeff Dixon challenges us to examine our “why.” Are your actions, your posts, and your conversations a song of praise to God? This isn’t about perfection; it’s about intention. Let’s learn to build a life that magnifies Him.

For years, you may have been told to be a “disciple” of Jesus. But the original Hebrew word, “Talmid,” reveals a depth we’ve largely forgotten. It doesn’t just mean “student”—it means “apprentice.”
Join us as we explore how this ancient concept moves us beyond head knowledge and into radical imitation. A student knows what the teacher knows. A Talmid strives to do what the teacher does. This simple shift in perspective has the power to transform your prayer life, your relationships, and your entire purpose. Stop being a fan of Jesus and start being His apprentice.

You found the bonus content. Welcome to the elite. If you missed the regular Worship Wars episode, you can find it here: https://youtu.be/TtQFOarQFl0
In this unauthorized, no-holds-barred discussion, we ask a question many are thinking: When did the stoic, hymnal-led ‘Minister of Music’ get replaced by the skinny-jeaned, ‘Come on, church!’ worship pastor?
We’re diving headfirst into the “worship wars”—exploring the shift from traditional to contemporary, the surprising (and sometimes secular) origins of classic hymns, and the controversies that once rocked the church, from organs and guitars to the simple act of raising hands.
Ultimately, we wrestle with the most important question: In a battle of styles, preferences, and traditions, what does God think? This is a frank, honest, and necessary conversation about getting back to the heart of worship.

There is a battle raging for the story of America. One side claims the nation’s success is a product of secular enlightenment. The other knows the truth: America is a miracle, founded by wise leaders who built its laws and philosophies on the bedrock of God’s Word.
This is not a matter of opinion—it’s a matter of historical fact. This episode presents the powerful evidence that the founders, from Washington to Franklin, believed that true freedom and just governance were impossible without acknowledging God’s authority. To deny this is to discount the very miracle of America.
You cannot write God out of the equation. Discover the foundation that made the American Dream possible.

Did you know one of Christianity’s most famous “battle” hymns was written by an eccentric, self-taught scholar who kept a pet bat on his shoulder? In this episode of “Hit me in the head with a hymn book,” host Jeff Dixon uncovers the strange and fascinating life of Sabine Baring-Gould, the man behind “Onward, Christian Soldiers.” Discover why this iconic marching anthem was hastily written for a children’s parade on Whit Sunday, and why its author later admitted its rhymes were “faulty.” It’s a story of a chaotic childhood, brilliant eccentricity, and a song that took on a life of its own.

In a world where tyranny is the norm, how did America become a beacon of liberty?

He reveals why freedom isn’t a political accident but a divine miracle, woven into the fabric of Christian truth.
