One year into his second term, how is President Donald J. Trump really doing? On this episode of “The Clash,” we put our biases aside to hand out a comprehensive one-year report card. We apply a Christian worldview to grade his performance on the economy, border security, foreign policy, and more.
Join us as we analyze the promises he made versus the results delivered. We break down the soaring GDP, the controversial tariffs, the closed border, and his bold moves on the world stage. The final grades are in, and they might surprise you—including a failing grade in one critical area.
Do you agree with our assessment? Watch the breakdown and see if your report card matches ours.

From Roswell to the grassy knoll, conspiracy theories have captivated our culture for decades. But how should people of faith engage with them? Is it wise to question everything, or is there a spiritual danger in getting lost in the rabbit hole?
Join the hosts of The Clash as they tackle the big ones: the faked moon landing, the flat earth resurgence, the 9/11 “inside job” theory, and the secrets of Area 51. Using the analogy of an uncle who pulled the knobs off his radio, they explore why people lock into a belief and refuse to change. Discover why having an anchor for truth is essential before you start questioning the narrative around you.
This isn’t just a debate about what happened; it’s a conversation about how we find truth in the first place.

“Did God really say…?” The first conspiracy theory started in the Garden of Eden, and we’ve been falling for them ever since. Today, distrust in authority is at an all-time high, and “hidden knowledge” feels more powerful than ever. But where does asking good questions end and embracing a dangerous lie begin?
Join Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley as they put conspiracy culture under a biblical microscope. They explore why these theories are so addictive, how they create a false sense of community, and why the ultimate answer to uncertainty isn’t a secret plan, but a sovereign Savior. Learn how to arm yourself with the truth that sets you free.

Is Christian television stuck in the past? Rob Patz, founder of Abundant TV, is on a mission to prove it can be entertaining, engaging, and life-changing. He joins Jeff and Chris on The Clash to discuss the spark that ignited Abundant TV and the problem he set out to solve: a lack of “real” and uplifting faith-based content.
From humbling stories of viewers who call the network their “friends” to a surprising international audience, Rob pulls back the curtain on what it takes to build a media platform centered on community and an abundant life in Christ. This conversation will challenge your perception of what Christian media can and should be.

Why is Greenland, a vast island of ice, suddenly at the center of global headlines? Following President Trump’s headline-grabbing statements, the world is focused on this strategic Arctic landmass. On this episode of The Clash, hosts Jeff Dixon and Dr. Chris Whaley break down the complex geopolitical chess match being played.

Filmmaker Rick Pamplin (“Burt Reynolds: The Last Interview”) joins The Clash to share one of the most incredible life stories you will ever hear. Beginning in a hospital bed where doctors told him he wouldn’t live to be 20, Rick details a journey fueled by a profound faith and a refusal to accept limitations. He recounts the pivotal moments of defiance—from burning his restrictive medical letters and flushing his prescriptions down the toilet to running away from military school to hitchhike to Hollywood. Pamplin shares his disillusionment with organized religion after a pastor dismissed his dreams, and how that experience forged a more personal, resilient faith. In a story full of unbelievable twists, he reveals how he accidentally became Sylvester Stallone’s neighbor just before Rocky exploded, worked with the entire Stallone family, and how a random encounter in a bathroom led him to create, write, and direct the iconic TV show GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling). This is a powerful testimony of perseverance, divine appointments, and carving your own path when the world tells you it’s impossible.

Award-winning director Rick Pamplin shares the unbelievable, decades-long story of his quest to meet his childhood hero, Burt Reynolds. What began as a young man’s ambition in Hollywood spiraled into a 50-year journey of near-misses, crushing disappointments, and moments of divine intervention—including showing up on set the day Burt punched his director. After losing everything and finding himself on the brink of homelessness, Rick explains how his unwavering faith and persistence were finally rewarded in the most unexpected way. He recounts the powerful, hour-long conversation that became “Burt Reynolds: The Last Interview,” a raw and vulnerable look at the screen legend just after he had committed his life to Christ. This is a profound testimony about patience, God’s perfect timing, and how a lifelong dream fulfilled by a Hollywood icon ultimately opened the door for Rick to make his most important film yet: a movie about Jesus.

As we step into 2026, many of us are tempted to drag the “baggage” of last year—the mistakes, the “could-haves,” and the guilt—into our future. But in this episode, hosts Jeff Dixon and Dr. Chris Whaley (The Masked Saint) remind us of a powerful truth: It’s a brand-new year, but we serve the same eternal, unchanging God.
Join the conversation as we explore why “Redemption triumphs over regret every time.” Jeff and Chris dive into the theology of moving from a victim mentality to a victorious life, the significance of Christ’s final words on the cross, and the miraculous promise that God’s mercies are unique and brand-new every single morning.
Don’t stay at the cross halfway—stay long enough to realize your guilt is gone. It’s time to stop looking over your shoulder and start walking into the victory God has prepared for you this year.

The calendar changes, but God doesn’t. As we stand on the threshold of a brand-new year, many of us feel a sense of dread rather than excitement. What if nothing changes? What if I fail again?
Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley explore the collision between culture’s obsession with “New Year, New Me” and the biblical call to “Take Heart.” This conversation isn’t about gym memberships or organized paper calendars; it’s about the shift from fear to trust. Join us for a dose of humor, honesty, and hope as we prepare to clash with the culture of 2026.

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.

How do you find gratitude when life falls apart?
