Catching Up With Christians
Welcome to Catching Up with Christians, where faith meets everyday life.
I’m Coach Dan, a former award-winning college baseball coach turned public speaker and life coach. Each episode, I sit down with close friends and influential Christians to explore their faith journeys, personal challenges, and professional paths.
Together, we’ll dive into how faith empowers us to overcome adversity, discover our purpose, and live boldly for Christ. You’ll hear inspiring stories and powerful testimonies that reveal not just the what and the how, but the deeper why behind their lives and careers.
Whether you’re looking for encouragement, practical insights, or a fresh perspective on walking with Jesus, this podcast is for you. So, let’s dive in and catch up with Christians.
