Life is not a spectator sport. You were created for growth, purpose, courage, and transformation—and none of those things happen by accident. Crusade with Me! is a podcast for people who refuse to settle for drifting through life. It is an invitation to embark on a lifelong journey of becoming who God created you to be. Each episode explores the intersection of faith, discipline, wisdom, health, personal growth, and purposeful living. Drawing from Scripture, ancient wisdom, practical experience, and honest conversation, host Dave and Kathy challenges listeners to grow stronger in body, sharper in mind, and deeper in spirit. Whether we're discussing faith, resilience, habits, leadership, suffering, purpose, relationships, health, or the everyday challenges of modern life, the goal remains the same: To help you become more aligned with your calling and more capable of fulfilling it. This isn't about chasing perfection. It's about pursuing progress. It's about replacing wishful thinking with intentional action. It's about becoming rooted, resilient, and useful. Most importantly, it's about discovering the freedom that comes from being exactly who God created you to b…","last_synced_at":"2026-06-25T18:19:17.612737+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crusade-with-me-7168317"},"episode":{"title":"Connecting Dots","slug":"connecting-dots","published_at":"2026-06-25T08:15:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crusade-with-me-7168317/connecting-dots","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crusade-with-me-7168317","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/crusade-with-me/2936649","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/311031/2936649/crusade-with-me/2026_06_23_01_09_40_ffa24364-85f8-48bb-9f20-328610cb6a78.mp3","summary":"The older I get, the less certain I become about many things. Twenty years ago, I thought I had most of life's answers figured out. Today, I realize that certainty is often easier than wisdom, and arrogance is far easier than humility. In this episode, I share why Crusade With Me! exists in the first place. This podcast was never created because I believed I had all the answers. It was created because I need the questions. Together, we'll explore what it means to \"connect the dots\" in life. Sometimes we connect dots that have no business being connected. Other times, we fail to see the connections that are right in front of us. Our habits, relationships, health, faith, attention, and decisions are all intertwined in ways we often overlook. As I reflect on our recent comeback episodes, I've come to recognize a common thread running through them all: the pursuit of wisdom. Not information. Not opinions. Wisdom. The wisdom that comes from God. If we want to become healthier, stronger, mentally sharper, spiritually deeper, and more faithful in our daily lives, we need more than knowledge. We need Divine Wisdom to help us understand which dots matter and which ones don't. This isn't an episode about having answers. It's an episode about seeking them. So, grab a cup of coffee and join me as we explore the questions that shape our lives, the patterns we often miss, and the wisdom that can only be found by walking with God. Because information fills the mind. But Divine Wisdom transforms the soul.","meta_description":"The older I get, the less certain I become about many things.
