SILY 615 Seizing the Incredible
When we face uncertain times, we are wise when we tap into the experience of others who have walked down the road before. We have to face our fears and move forward. Once we make that decision to move forward, it’s best if we have a friend and confidant to hold us by the hand and carry us through. We don’t need to go through those experiences alone, and we’re much better off when we have that trusted friend to support us along the winding path that gets us to our destination.

SILY 614 Professing Your Faith
มุมมอง 21วันที่ผ่านมา
In case you’re wondering if there was a time in my life when I was a pastor that I’ve not shared with you before, I have not. In fact, I have never been in full time ministry. With an episode title of Professing Your Faith, you might think that this episode is about how to tell other people about Jesus. Whether you think that episode topic is a good one or not, that’s not where I’m going today....
SILY 613 Monday Mailbag

Today is Monday Mailbag day and I’m always excited to hear your stories and feedback. We have two contributors today: Jason and Andrew. Thanks to Jason and Andrew for the contributions. I appreciate your willingness to share your lives with us and you’ve made this episode a great one.
SILY 612 Letting Go of a Dream
มุมมอง 5921 วันที่ผ่านมา
Back in episode 597 I mentioned that I sold my beloved 1972 MGB GT. For those of you who have followed me on social media for a while, you may have seen me first mention that I sold it back in February of this year, and a few days later I first mentioned that I’d actually purchased its replacement last October, fixed that car up, and had been driving it ever since. So WHY did I sell my dream ca...
SILY 611 Beating Yesterday
มุมมอง 22หลายเดือนก่อน
I think we’ve all been in a situation where either we as kids or when we were older with kids of our own ran into someone that we hadn’t seen in a while. Maybe it was a family member at a reunion or perhaps it was an old friend at the grocery store. Either way, that person looks at the kid and is surprised at how much they’ve grown. Even us as parents can have this experience with our own kids ...
SILY 610 Field of Dreams
มุมมอง 26หลายเดือนก่อน
Okay let me be real with you. When I put together an episode, I start with a moment from my life that has impacted me in some way. In the process of impacting me, I can typically look at it and see a clear, big lesson. This story is not like that. It’s obvious that the story I’ve shared with you today has impacted me in a deep, emotional way. But what is the clear, big lesson? I’m not sure. How...
SILY 609 Campfire Encounters
มุมมอง 23หลายเดือนก่อน
For today’s episode, let’s think about the disciples. If you were to gather up 12 of your friends for a meal, you can imagine the different characteristics and personality types that would be represented around that table. Jesus’ disciples were no different. Today we’re going to focus on one of the disciples named Peter. Before Peter encountered Jesus, his profession was a fisherman. He would h...
SILY 608 Musings of a Wallflower
มุมมอง 25หลายเดือนก่อน
I wanted to die. What was I supposed to do? Stand up and wave? Tell her thank you? Smile? I shrunk down in my chair, gave her a fake smile, and stared at my notebook the remainder of class. I still liked her as a teacher and found her class easy, but dreaded my seat and the attention she’d drawn to me. I appreciated the compliment on my work, but the whole situation just made me feel even more ...
SILY 607 Oh the Places You Will Go
มุมมอง 242 หลายเดือนก่อน
On business trips, business comes first. Whether I’m traveling on my dime or someone else’s, a business trip is for business purposes. Take care of business. But I also learned that it’s okay to get out of the hotel and enjoy the sights of a city while you’re there. I should have realized this by the behavior and encounters I’d had with my boss, but it took this encounter with Jim to help me fu...
SILY 606 Tribute to Kay
มุมมอง 952 หลายเดือนก่อน
In episode 44 I gave you a glimpse at the woman who would become my mother-in-law. She was wonderful on that day and she was a wonderful mother-in-law for the next 23 years. Last week was the two year anniversary of when we lost her. Today, I wanted to set aside this episode as a tribute to her. I’ve asked Dave, my father-in-law, my two brothers-in-law, Marc and Brian, and my wife, Kari, to sen...
SILY 605 Hold Me Closer Tony Danza
มุมมอง 412 หลายเดือนก่อน
I firmly believe we live in an age where it has never been easier to know the truth about God and his teaching, while also having never been easier to be deceived and led astray about God and his teaching. We hear something new, something that’s easier to swallow, less offensive, seems loving, or seems to bring a shiny new meaning to a passage that has been taught a certain way for generations....
SILY 604 Monday Mailbag
มุมมอง 412 หลายเดือนก่อน
I have to admit, one of the leading motivators for me bringing back SILY was the opportunity to share stories and lessons stemming from my Christian faith. In addition to that, my hope was that these stories would bring in sincere questions from listeners that would in turn bring about a deeper understanding of Christianity, the Bible, and what it means to live in this culture as a Christian bo...
SILY 603 Planting Your Tree
มุมมอง 272 หลายเดือนก่อน
When I started podcasting in 2008, I never once thought that I might one day inspire someone else to become a podcaster. In times like these, I like to play the what if game. The quick version of it goes something like this: What if I’d never started my podcast about Fringe? What if JJ Abrams had never created Fringe? What if Cliff had never started his podcast about the TV show LOST. What if J...
SILY 602 There's No Lone Ranger
มุมมอง 273 หลายเดือนก่อน
Trusting those you work with and those who work under you is incredibly important. But when they are entrusted to do their job with freedom and exercise their natural gifts, clients benefit, work culture benefits, you benefit, the company benefits, and your industry benefits. Remember, there’s no “I” in team, and even The Lone Ranger wasn’t alone.
SILY 601 The Shortening of the Years
มุมมอง 213 หลายเดือนก่อน
You’ve heard me say it recently because it’s been on my mind a lot, but it’s so painfully true when they say the days are long but the years are short. In future episodes I’ll talk more about Colby moving out of our house and I even have a story about college marching band that I have scheduled for the beginning of football season. But for today, I want to stay focused on the idea of time.

SILY 592 Do I Take the Bible Literally
Is there a Spiritual Component...there could be...when you deny yourself...is that a reach...Lord knows:) Adam
Me too! A Trick by Accident I seemed to discover was similar to telling yourself you are NOT you but Mr Employee or The Work Guy but not you! Somehow it freed my anxiety! On your Journeys you might have done that and realized a breath or two or three! Even approaching people became unburdening and thinking clearer was a delight...maybe why we have "Avatars" today!😊
Great point. I recently visited my company head quarters in MO. It's so beautiful there with great fishing and immaculate crystal clear rivers/ streams. But I was so tired from work physically and mentally with all the new information I was trying to soak in. I pretty much went straight to bed after work for almost a full week. Sad but maybe next time I'll be able to take in the beauty
Very nice! Thanks brother you did great!!!
Thank you!
Wow what a great tribute to my dear mom. Thank you so much. Love you brother
Thank you, Brian!
Great job, Darrell. Listened to the audio, but I had to hop on and tell you how impactful this episode was. Amazing tribute.
Thanks, Bradley!
Great tribute to Kay. I know it was a tough show to do, but you did a great job. Kay would be happy and proud of the job you did. She would also be excited for what Dave and the kids had to say about her.
Thanks, Nate!
Country Artist Josh Turner- Hometown Girl wrong lyrics"She Couldn't hide her Beauty with a Baseball Bat.." correct, " She Couldn't Hide Her Beauty with a Baseball Cap..." Working at a New Country Format Radio Station for over 15 years I might hear that song a few times a day.
Very well written Darrell! "Showing Off" yes even after we think we have become mature things happen! Took some guts to talk about and brings me some comfort for some of my hijunx. Lord Bless Yas!
Great recounting of your personal story. You've touched a lot of lives.
Great video
Very very terrific to see you know your Scripture Darrell! Indeed Genesis 3:16b THAT Crazy Curse does cause so much trouble for those who have no knowledge of it!
I don't think Kingsberry is part of Bob Stoops tree. However great show!!!!
You're right. Not sure why I said he was. Thanks for catching that.
Great video!!!!! I love this so much!!!
Thank you!
Great show today!!!
Thanks!
It's 2LATEIWON mechanically approved
Love this episode. You've done a great job
Thanks, Brian!
I stumbled upon this while scrolling through my suggestions, and the title caught my attention. Your story was so sweet, I was actually tearing up here at work. I was an older fan, so I was in my senior year of high school when they exploded on the scene. I absolutely loved them: recorded the songs every time they came on the radio, watched every interview, etc....(I actually still have a recording of one of the radio commercials for the MagiCan!) My friends and I lip-synced to My Favorite Girl at our talent show, we took a limo to one of their shows, we went HARD! I endured a lot of teasing from classmates (mostly the guys) and a bunch of them even made little snarky comments when they signed my senior yearbook, but I didn't care. I loved the New Kids. Fast forward to their reunion....I was elated! Ironically, one of the guys who teased me the most about liking the New Kids is now one of the people who's always Facebooking me mentioning them, and sending me "Happy Birthday" on my birthday. But one of the best parts is: I went to a show Jordan did with Nick Carter, and the next morning, he had a brunch where he signed autographs and stuff. I brought my yearbook with me, and showed him where one of my friends had wrote: "maybe one day your dreams will come true and you'll meet NKOTB." Jordan actually signed my yearbook right by that, saying, "Dreams do come true!" They're just the sweetest guys and so humble and loving to their fans. I'm so happy you were able to see them since their reunion, and hope you can go to a show this summer. I'm going to see them on my birthday and managed to get front row center, so I'm HELLA STOKED!! BLOCKHEAD FOR LIFE!!!
What a great story and encounter with Jordan!! I hope you have THE BEST time at the concert this summer.
Ha ha ya know what Darrell? I was the kid in high school that hated New Kids when they came out simply because they stole all the girls attention and I was jealous! But secretly I liked the music. As of this writing I currently have their new album "Still Kids" in my car playing the first release "Kids" on repeat. Man I LOVE that song. It's so catchy, fun and full of life. It really sinks in the lesson if never having to grow up, keep playing, keep being a kid no matter how old you are. That's all there is to life. Everything else will be fine. Side note, if you have never seen their videos for Remix or Bring Back the Time, I urge you to go watch them NOW. Two absolutely amazing songs and videos!
Just watched the video for Remix. I knew the song, but I'd never seen the video. Hilarious!
I'm going to my first NKOTB concert this summer in Dallas, ate age 45. My date? My 14 year old bonus daughter. I've been embarrassed that I feel like I've fallen down the rabbit hole of wanting to relive my childhood. Maybe that's partly true- but it's also bc I simply like who they've become. I like the new music, I like the charisma and that they seem genuinely humbled to be accepted back into the music fold. I will remember this concert for a long time to come.
I agree that it's been fun to see them evolve. You're going to have a great time! I'm so excited for you!
I had SOME similar experiences to you growing up, but I never allowed myself to be shamed into hiding my love for NKOTB, and my family very much supported my fandom. Even after most of my NKOTB memorabilia was gone or in storage, I always kept a Jordan magnet on the radiator by my bed until I moved in 2013 and it got lost in the move. But I still have my old NKOTB poster in a tote in the attic, and a book with the entire trading card collection on a shelf in my room. I never got to go to a NKOTB concert either, but only because my family couldn't afford it. BUT it turns out my mom loves NKOTB too (She even watches Donnie on Blue Bloods and Jon on HGTV), and today I finally bought tickets for the Magic Summer 2024 concert, and this August I am finally taking my 73 year old mother to see them live for her very first concert (of any kind) ever! I even ordered us both NKOTB t-shirts to wear. It's so exciting!
I LOVE that you're going to get to see them in August with your mom! You guys are going to LOVE IT!
I knew I wouldn't get through this season without crying. I felt this one deeply. Thank you so much for sharing. 💙
Thanks, Faith. This one got me choked up again too when I listed back to it this week.
Ya got me crying and sending you and your wife a HUG! Your kids love you both so much!! And with all you do you managed to still be encouraging to me! Thank you!
Thanks, Adam. I'm glad you found the episode encouraging!
Thank you for entering into this type of discussion. Indeed there are many who do not recognize allegory, metaphor and parable. The Bible can be challenging, especially in the times we live in. As difficult as it may be, I recognize value in it. 2 Timothy 3:16 King James Version (KJV) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness... Even those verses that cause many to cringe and recoil, because it shows us how differently we all process our reality..
With all of the hateful, bigoted, genocidal, misogynistic, murderous and outright baseless claims of the supernatural made by that book ... Taking it literally would be dangerous for everyone.
The Bible does contain most of those things (bigoted, genocidal, misogynistic, murderous) but it does not endorse them. Is there a specific passage you'd like me to address in a future episode?
@@StuffILearnedYesterday-vg7pi ("...but it does not endorse them") not only does the bible endorse it...the god of the bible commanded or caused it in many cases. Slavery as well. Condoned by god in the bible, yet never condemned in the same book.
@@StuffILearnedYesterday-vg7pi dont forget the bible also condones slavery.
Hi and thanks for the video. As a want to be Christian I wanted to take you up on your offer to discuss context on a troubling Bible verse. I want to be clear that I am being very honest here. There are many verses that are difficult for me and have caused great division in my family. I have listed a few and would greatly appreciate a response. Thank you in advance. Exodus 35:2 Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death. Matthew 10:34 Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, and a man's enemies will be the members of his own household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me." Psalm 137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. Deuteronomy 32:42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy. Luke 19:27 But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me.’
Thank you very much for the comment and for sending over these passages. I'll do my best to tackle them on the next Monday Mailbag.
Thanks again for sending over these verses. I covered most of them in today's episode. th-cam.com/video/pcMWugy2RFI/w-d-xo.html
I really hope not! If you take the bible literally the you have to believe woman came from a dudes rib, there was a worldwide flood, the earth is 6000 years old, can’t eat shellfish, people lived to 600+ years, slavery is ok and my favorite… we can all scapegoat all our wrongs on to another. The bible and other ancient religions are no more than what they were intended to be, man’s first attempt to explain the world around us.
Awesome job as always! Loved hearing everyone’s feedback!
I don’t know how you do it, but it seems like every Monday there is an episode that I needed to hear. Thanks for this!
Oh Darrell..Mr Fred would be stuck in my craw- knowing I strive for good Customer Service and perplexed here! Maybe he felt he was ignored not because of your proactive attempts but something happening in his world. Praying that he is ok!
Thanks for the future parenting advice. Bravo 👏👏👏
Needed this today!
Great video
Thanks!
Enjoyed today's episode. Love your show and listening to your stories!!!!
Great episode! My family didn’t start out going to church, but I went with my grandpa and eventually my parents started going.
Men leading their families by going to church is a significant positive influence! Sounds like both of our grandpas filled that role.
Glad to see SILY return!
Loved this episode!
Thanks, Bradley!
Another great episode!!!
Thanks, Nate!
I love the idea of breaking it down into categories. I can see how that would be, easier to focus on the topic within that category. Great video
Thanks, Brian!
My Dear Brother Yessire I had been praying for your heart back when that HE would give you Opportunities to share that you would know and proceed confidently and Joyfully! I. had not listened to Dan's Radio Show for years,.hard news to hear- he was always upbeat! PTL he still is! So I have some tears for loss as I pray for his family and I have tears for for you seeing your discipline in action! I'm a tad older than you- 62 in September so I'm proud of.ya Kid! You such a decent and considerate man:) Thank you! Ad
Thanks Adam!
Great show!!! Glad to have SILY back!!! You look good in front of the camera!!!
Thanks, bro!
