This isn’t just another episode – it’s a milestone! Every round-numbered episode, we bring you a roundtable-style chat, and this one is a can’t-miss. We’re joined by local legend Jason Dennis, the award-winning news anchor from Columbus’s #1 station, WTVM.

We dive deep into Jason’s story – from how he landed in Columbus and his rise in the broadcast journalism world to the integrity and faith that guide his work. Jason’s a guy who’s not just reading the news; he’s living his faith with authenticity and consistency.

But wait—there’s more! Jason’s also a marathon runner with an insane goal: 50 marathons in 50 states. He’s already knocked out 32! He talks about his passion for running, this fitness journey he started at 40, and his podcast Run the Race, where he interviews inspiring locals with stories of grit and faith. Check it out HERE !

This conversation is packed with laughs, real talk, and tons of encouragement.

What do you get when you mix a Disney roller coaster, a lost stuffed animal, and a very determined dad? That’s right - Richard’s got a story for the ages.

It all started with a family trip to Disney (circa 25 years ago) when Richard’s youngest son’s beloved Stitch (yes, that Stitch from Lilo & Stitch) vanished mid-adventure. The panic! The Disney worker consultations! The heartbreaking realization that Stitch was gone forever!

In this episode, we’ll unpack:
- How a stuffed animal drama turned into a life lesson
- What Psalm 51 and Ezekiel 33 say about God’s power to restore what we thought was lost
- And why sometimes, the thing you lost comes back even better than before

Whether you’ve ever lost your favorite toy (or just your cool), this story will have you laughing, reflecting, and maybe even shedding a nostalgic tear.

So buckle up, listeners - because this sermon on the side is for you!

It started with a cup of ketchup at Five Guys in Poughkeepsie, New York (Yes, really.) A quick moment, a quiet comment from a kid, and suddenly we’re talking about something way bigger: the voices in our heads that tell us we’re not good enough, not strong enough, not whatever enough.

In this episode of Sermons on the Side, we follow that trail all the way to Gideon — a man hiding out in a winepress who gets called “mighty warrior” by God. What do you do when your life doesn’t match what God says about you? What if the loudest thing in your life is a lie?

“Limiting Voices” is all about learning how to quiet the noise, tune in to God’s truth, and finally start believing the name He’s been calling you all along.

Because sometimes, the Sermon you need isn’t from a pulpit — it’s from the ketchup station.

High school hoops. One bet. Twenty bucks on the line. What started as a simple challenge between friends turned into a life lesson about pressure, expectations, and what happens when things start to crack. In this episode, we talk about how life’s pressure moments reveal what’s underneath - and why having a plan for those moments matters more than we think. Whether you're at the FT line or just trying to hold life together, this one's for you.

Have you ever realized - mid-faith journey - that you’ve somehow lost your sense of awe? That the beauty of God, the joy of salvation, and the wonder of grace have started to feel… a little too normal?

In this episode of Sermons on the Side, we explore what it means to recapture spiritual wonder - and how a 90s youth group trip to Six Flags (yes, really) became the unlikely setting for a wake-up call. Through laughter, storytelling, and honest reflection, we unpack how God can use the most unexpected moments to shake us out of spiritual autopilot.

If you’ve ever felt spiritually numb, burned out, or like you’re just going through the motions, this one’s for you. We’re talking about faith, joy, childlike awe, and how rediscovering God’s wonder might start in the most surprising places.

Buckle up (literally) and ride with us - because sometimes the best sermons aren’t preached from a pulpit… they’re screamed from a roller coaster!

What do LeBron James, Bronny’s NBA journey, and a heated moment with Stephen A. Smith have to do with your faith? More than you'd think.

In a recent interview, LeBron recalled a statement he made to his son that stopped us in our tracks: "If you're in love with something, you fall in love with the process, not just the outcome." That one quote sparked a conversation that took us everywhere—from the grind of personal growth with Christ to the beauty (and difficulty) of loving others through their mess.

This week, we’re talking about the process—the sanctification journey with Jesus that shapes who we’re becoming, not just where we’re going. And we’re anchoring it all in Romans 5:3-5, where suffering, endurance, character, and hope are more than just a progression—they’re a promise.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the middle, questioning whether the struggle is worth it, this one’s for you.
