Podcast appearances and mentions of Danny Mac

Join me, Danny Mac, for this Monday edition of Starting Right as we dive into three powerful names of God from the Old Testament that continue to bring comfort, strength, and direction to believers worldwide. Inspired by Vicki Yohe's beautiful worship song "Because of Who You Are," we unpack how these divine names first appeared in pivotal biblical moments: Abraham's mountain-top test of faith, Israel's battle against the Amalekites, and Gideon's unlikely commissioning. Far from being ancient theological concepts, these names reveal profound truths about God's character and His promises that remain relevant today. "These names are not just one-offs... they remind us of who He is and how He wants to work in our lives." Start your day right by reconnecting with the God who provides, leads, and brings peace even in life's most challenging moments.Grab your coffee, tune in for five minutes that will transform your perspective, and don't forget to check out the  link to Vicki Yohe's original song—though I warn you, it might get delightfully stuck in your head all day!Here is the youtube link to Because of Who You Are                                                                                         https://youtu.be/C6WexG9uAJI?si=v_qMXREFfJtMigpN                      We would love to hear your comments.

An interesting game for the Cardinals last night. We talk it over with Martin Kilcoyne here. Contreras' ejection, Burleson walk-off, Sonny Gray and more thoughts on salvaging some good from this season. Fan attendance has dropped to a number the team hasn't seen since 1997. What will the rest of this week look like with the perfect weather? Is it this low from here on out? Lots of rumbling about Wetherholt but is it worth it to bring him up already? We pitch Quinn Matthews to the rotation as well. We take a quick look at the starting week for college football too. Listen here thanks to Lou Fusz Automotive group:

Ever noticed how what we expect tends to be exactly what we find? Take the father diving in Bora Bora who, despite swimming among reef sharks, experienced beauty rather than fear because of his perspective. This powerful principle lies at the heart of today's reflection.Joy isn't the absence of problems—it's maintaining the right mindset regardless of circumstances. As Psalm 126:3 reminds us, "The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy." Even through life's most difficult moments, God's peace and joy remain available to us. The question becomes: what are we focused on?Today, I challenge you to raise your expectations of God's goodness. Look for His presence, guidance, and yes—even moments of joy—no matter what challenges you're facing. Like swimming with sharks but seeing beauty instead of danger, your perspective changes everything.

Where do the Cardinals go from here? How to they salvage some good from this season? We talk about Gorman, Wetherholt, Arenado, Sonny Gray and more. Will there be a lockout/labor dispute? With lots of money coming off the books in the next two years, will they go get a superstar? We get into the thought of keeping Gorman at third while the Arenado injury leaves more questions. Wild card hopes for the year have been dashed but could there be even further expansion for playoffs in the near future? Will a billion dollars get an MLB expansion team? We take a look at the so-called competition for the QB spot at Mizzou plus a glimpse into the region's prep football season. Listen here thanks to Lou Fusz Automotive group:

The boulder in your path might be hiding a treasure underneath. In this thought-provoking episode, Danny Mac shares a timeless parable about a curious king who placed a massive rock in the main road to his kingdom. While wealthy merchants and wise men simply walked around the obstacle, complaining loudly about the inconvenience, one humble peasant chose a different approach. Through persistent effort, he removed the boulder—and discovered a purse of gold coins left as a reward by the watching king.This simple story brilliantly illuminates how we typically respond to life's challenges. Do we complain about our problems? Blame others? Try to ignore them? Or do we face them directly, putting in the necessary effort to overcome them? Danny connects this parable to the wisdom found in James 1:2, which encourages us to view troubles as opportunities for growth rather than mere frustrations to avoid.What obstacles are you currently facing? Rather than seeing them as roadblocks to your happiness, Danny invites you to reframe them as essential stepping stones to your personal development. Every problem contains the seeds of growth— your willingness to face challenges head-on might lead to unexpected rewards. Start your day right by approaching obstacles with determination and faith, knowing that each one you overcome equips you with strength for whatever lies ahead. We would love to hear your comments.

Ever noticed how your exhausted body betrays you the moment your head hits the pillow? Danny Mac tackles this universal frustration in today's episode, offering both spiritual wisdom and practical advice for those nights when your mind races at 100 miles per hour despite your physical fatigue.Drawing from 2 Corinthians 10:5, Danny unpacks what it truly means to "take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." With a vivid analogy of calf roping at a rodeo, he illustrates how we can lasso our runaway thoughts—those anxious worries about tomorrow's challenges or unfinished business that seem to accelerate just when we need rest the most. The image is powerful: just as a skilled cowboy can stop a charging calf in its tracks, we can learn to halt our racing minds and redirect them toward peace. As you face another night, remember you have the spiritual authority to stop anxious thoughts in their tracks and enter the rest God intends for you.We would love to hear your comments.

Have you ever witnessed a classroom lesson so powerful it left students in tears? Today's episode of Starting Right shares a remarkable story that will transform how you understand sacrifice and grace.Danny Mac tells "The Parable of the Donuts," where a religion professor orchestrates an unforgettable demonstration. Steve, a freshman football player, agrees to perform push-ups so his classmates can enjoy donuts. As each student receives their treat, Steve must complete ten push-ups—regardless of whether students want the donut or not. This powerful illustration challenges us to recognize the tremendous gift we've been offered and the foolishness of leaving such a precious gift unclaimed. As the professor wisely notes, "Not all sermons are preached in words." Some spiritual truths can only be truly understood through experience rather than explanation.JWe would love to hear your comments. Send us a Text MessageSupport the show

What happens when every external support is stripped away, and all you have left are the resources stored in your mind and heart? Danny Mac explores this profound question through the remarkable story of Major Daniel Whittle, a Vietnam War pilot whose life was literally saved by the Bible verses and hymns he had memorized as a child.The turning point came during a violent monsoon rainstorm when the entire prison was plunged into darkness. As thunder crashed and rain pounded the building, Whittle suddenly recalled his 37th hymn—"Showers of Blessing," based on Ezekiel 34:26. The divine timing of remembering this particular song during an actual downpour became a powerful symbol of God's presence even in the most hopeless circumstances. As Whittle later wrote, "All this talk of scripture and hymns may seem boring to some, but it was the way we conquered our enemy and overcame the power of death around us."Danny Mac challenges listeners to consider what they're storing up inside themselves for times of crisis. Are you memorizing scripture? Do you know the lyrics to songs that move your soul, whether traditional hymns or contemporary worship music? These aren't merely religious practices but survival tools for the darkest moments of life. Join the conversation and share what spiritual resources you're building into your life today. And remember to tune in Monday through Friday for more five-minute devotionals that will help you start your day right!We would love to hear your comments. Send us a Text MessageSupport the show

Ever stood at a restaurant buffet, strategically choosing only your favorite foods while completely bypassing dishes that don't appeal to you? In today's powerful devotional, Danny Mac reveals how this common experience mirrors a dangerous approach many take in their spiritual life.When we only accept teachings that comfort us or confirm our existing beliefs while filtering out challenging truths that might require change, we create spiritual malnourishment. This selective hearing doesn't just diminish our own growth; it robs our families, communities, and ultimately God of all He wants to accomplish through fully-developed followers. True spiritual flourishing requires receiving complete nourishment—both the encouraging and corrective aspects of God's Word.Ready to move beyond spiritual cherry-picking? Join Danny Mac every weekday morning for five minutes that will transform how you approach your faith journey. Subscribe now and discover what it means to be truly planted where God can nurture your complete growth rather than treating His Word like a buffet of optional choices.We would love to hear your comments.

Foul mouthed fiend Harry Nelson gives Rise Of The Pink Ladies his first ever Round of Approval™, but just believe me when I tell you that, don't listen to what he actually says about it.

Have you ever missed an important message because you weren't really listening? Today's episode of Starting Right with Danny Mac explores the lost art of truly hearing what's being communicated around us through a fascinating historical tale.The episode delves into our modern listening challenges, highlighting research that shows most people are poor listeners who only hear what they want when they want it. Between constant digital distractions, environmental noise, and our own preoccupations, critical messages often go "in one ear and out the other." Danny connects this everyday challenge to spiritual wisdom from Proverbs 3:6: "Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go." Today's podcast might just change how you listen to everything and everyone around you.We would love to hear your comments. Send us a Text MessageSupport the show
