Podcast Description
This podcast is for the man who’s tired of biting his tongue while the world burns.
For the Christian who loves his country — but loves God more — and refuses to trade conviction for comfort.
For the leader who’s built a business, a family, a life… but feels alone in a culture that mocks truth, silences faith, and rewards weakness.
This is for the one who won’t bow, won’t break, and won’t be bullied into silence.
Every episode cuts through the noise with bold truth, biblical wisdom, and the courage to speak what others won't.
If that’s you…
Welcome to the front line. You’ve found your people.

Christian leaders can appear successful while being driven by fear, lust, anger or pride. Dr. Dave Jones joins Peter Demos to explain how these hidden motivations can shape decisions, relationships and entire organizations.
Dave is the author of Plan to Win: How to Manage Your Fear, Lust, Anger and Pride While Building Your Christian Organization. He defines biblical winning as developing a richer relationship with Jesus Christ rather than maintaining constant success.
Peter and Dave discuss personal guardrails, worldly cravings, social media comparison and the difficulty leaders have receiving criticism. They also explain why admitting that you are struggling is not failure and how Scripture, mentorship, accountability and gratitude can help believers return to a place of trust.
