Dr. Dan interviews Andrea Jones-Rooy – data scientist, educator, podcast host, comedian, and circus performer – about how data informs our journeys to being our best selves. Based on her life of weaving in between the worlds of science and art, Andrea believes that it's at the intersection of science and art that we can make the biggest, most life-changing, and world-changing discoveries. Andrea's multi-hyphenate careers (she is equally comfortable entertaining at comedy clubs, speaking to Fortune 500 companies, and sitting behind the podcast mic) prove data is the foundation of how we live, how we make decisions, and how we can make the world a better place. Dr. Dan and Andrea define data and then discuss the data related to our current moment in history. They explore why democratizing data science empowers everyone—not just statisticians—to make sense of the numbers shaping our world. From political polarization to public health to how we read headlines, Dr. Dan and Andrea tell us how we can all use data for good. Andrea Jones-Rooy hosts the podcast Behind The Data where she discusses how data is actually collected, its limitations, and offers advice on how to factor it into decision-making. Andrea believes there's no such thing as being just a “math person” or a “creative” – she insists we're all capable of brilliance in both. “It's all about finding the right way to unlock those skills and discovering what we're truly capable of.” Listeners will learn from, laugh, and love today's discussion - even if they hate math!

Featuring Chris Martin, Director of Content, Moody Global MediaRecorded live at the Digital Ministry Conference 2025.In this compelling session from the 2025 Digital Ministry Conference, Chris Martin—veteran digital strategist and content leader at Moody Global Media—pulls back the curtain on how ministry teams can use data not just to drive vanity metrics, but to deepen real connections with their audiences.With transparency and humor, Chris recounts lessons from the infamous "pivot to video" era and how platforms like Facebook once inflated metrics by up to 900%. He uses this cautionary tale to highlight a central truth: not all data tells the truth, and not all metrics matter. Instead, ministries must learn to focus on engagement and meaningful interactions—then use that insight to draw people into deeper channels of connection, like email and direct relationships.For digital marketers and communications teams in ministry, this session is a goldmine of takeaways:Why your email open rate may matter more than your follower countHow to interpret social metrics as communication—not just performancePractical steps to shepherd your audience away from algorithmic platformsHow to avoid the trap of pleasing stakeholders instead of serving your audienceTune in to this podcast to rethink your strategy and walk away with a clearer roadmap for using data to inform content—and ultimately lead your audience into deeper ministry engagement.Resources Mentioned in the EpisodeChris Martin on LinkedInTerms of Service newsletter by Chris MartinMoody Bible InstituteChris's Book: "Terms of Service: The Real Cost of Social Media"
