The MakeReady Podcast

In this episode of the MakeReady Podcast, we sit down with Ron Dodson to talk about how men of faith should think about politics, power, and the purpose of government. From the founding fathers to the failures of modern culture, Ron takes us on a thoughtful, biblical look at how the church should engage the public square. We explore questions like: Is America a Christian nation? What’s the government’s role in morality? And how do we lead our families through cultural confusion without losing our grounding in truth? If you’ve ever felt tension between patriotism and faith—or wondered how to lead in a society that’s drifting fast—this episode will give you the tools, truth, and clarity to stand firm without selling out.

In this episode of the MakeReady Podcast, we sit down with Deepak Benjamin for a raw, honest conversation about drifting from your purpose—and what it takes to come back. After stepping away from church leadership and chasing success, Deepak hit a wall: burnout, anxiety, even a heart attack. But God wasn’t done with him. From confronting false identities to rediscovering joy in serving, Deepak shares how accountability, humility, and grace helped restore his calling. We talk about fatherhood, discipleship, and the quiet crisis so many men face when they lose sight of who they are in Christ. If you’ve ever felt the tension between doing more and being present, or wondered how to lead your home while barely holding it together, this episode will meet you there.
