A Man's Need for God
Our goal for A Man's Need for God podcast is to provide our audience the opportunity to hear authentic, and even raw, testimonies of faith, and from there, take a dive into people’s personal relationships with God, and how and why they Need Him. As a priest recently said to Dave, “we need to provide authentic, real testimonials, because a man could be in the depths of a trial right now, and he needs hope - and an authentic connection.” This is not so much theological, although we will speak in the Catholic or Christian context, but more, experiential, personal, honest, vulnerable and real. I want to hear how Christian men depend on God, not half-heartedly, but wholly, whether as a CEO, a politician, a recovering addict, a veteran, a principal, a coach and more, and how that plays out in their day to day life, the struggles they encounter, and the obstacles they overcome by loving God above all things, and making Him their center. I want to take the opportunity to create an environment of vulnerability and honesty, and not without some laughter, that helps people journey with our guests as they share the peaks and valleys of their lives, and how that today, God NEEDS to be the center of all that they do.
A Man's Need for God
Episode 1: Dave's need for God - an introduction.
Dave Nelson is the host of this show - so we thought, maybe you could hear about his need for God before he interviewed others! In short, Dave is a Catholic, man of God, a father, former high school and college football captain, near death survivor, ECAC award of valor recipient, salesman and business owner, former mental resilience teacher, fundraiser, and a lover of people. He is a person broken without God, but made whole with Him, and for Him, knowing that God takes all broken things and makes them even more beautiful, more glorious, and more fruitful when we surrender to His love - but Dave knows he Needs Him, as he often throughout his day prays, simply, “Lord, I love you, and I need You.’ Amen. Please enjoy getting to know Dave more as we kickoff A Man's Need for God podcast. (A very special thank you to CatholicTV for allowing us to use their podcast studio at no cost - this wouldn't be possible without their help! Thank God.)
