Dave is at the table this week with Leray Glendenning. Leray is a retired pastor and current executive director of Integrity Life Skills Learning Center in Urbandale, Iowa. They deep dive into the history behind the Life Skills Program, which was borne out of the life-long work of Dr. Paul Hegstrom. And, they explore these discoveries in light of God's design and how Scripture leads believers through emotional growth to freedom in life.

Integrity Life Skills is part of Life Skills International, based in Roaring Springs, Texas. Life Skills Learning Centers provide tools in helping people learn to rebuild their lives and improve their self-image. The goal of Life Skills is to help each individual increase their capacity to function in relationships and, where possible, to offer hope of reconciliation.

ABOUT this podcast:

All Christians worship in a particular stream of Christianity. But no single movement carries it all. Dave Olson, Heartland Church senior leader, firmly believes this. Fell into drugs, became homeless, then God saved and healed him. He wants to give away what he's learned. He sits down with all kinds of people, especially Christian leaders making an impact locally and globally. Here to challenge those who think the gifts of the Spirit are for today, by helping them root it in the Bible. And challenge the one who isn't so sure the gifts are for today but loves the Word and is cautiously open.

They've got powerful parallel history both in vocation and spiritual growth. These two old friends sit down for a conversation at the table — Dave Olson is at the table with Bob Larson. They dive deep into Bob's story - convinced his marriage was ending, Bob tells how God intervened and saved his relationship with his wife. They explore Bob's first experiences of realizing what it is like to hear from the Lord and learning to be led by Him.

Bob Larson is a certified mentor. His passion for serving vulnerable populations led him to join the Adult & Teen Challenge leadership in 1995, where he created a residential program for men in Omaha, NE. Bob continues to walk alongside people seeking wholeness, and as a team leader with Wellsprings of Freedom, a ministry aimed at helping people find freedom from trauma, hurt, and spiritual oppression. He also leads Libertas Mentoring, a program guiding Christian men to become pillars of freedom in Christ. Bob is also a teaching pastor with Radiant Church in Pleasant Hill, Iowa.

Pull up a chair with Dave this week as he sits down at the table with his bald headed baby brother, Christopher Olson. These guys deep dive stories of encounter with the Lord, Christopher's back story, seeing angels, developing an appetite for the Word of God and much more.

Christopher J. Olson Ministries exists to release the Father’s love and presence to churches, to leaders, and to the nations for the honor of Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Christopher surrendered his life to Jesus at the age of 14. Christopher served on staff at Heartland Church in Ankeny, Iowa for 16 years and now lives with his family in Bradenton, Fl. His passion is to see people have a life-transforming encounter with the fire of God's love. He travels extensively throughout Latin America, preaching in Spanish while encouraging the church.

Dave sits down at the table this week with Don Crum. Don serves as the president of Leadership International, an organization that develops and trains leaders with a special emphasis on integrity, courage, power and vision in the fields of church, government, business and education. They talk about his story of coming to faith in Jesus, how he first started hearing from the Lord when praying to heal hospital patients, and some amazing miracles he witness around the world.

God has powerfully and strategically moved through Don's life in many spheres. As a hospital chaplain God healed so many patients through him that the doctors started complaining. He pastored, then served on the mission field in Nigeria where they built schools, hospitals, and churches all while seeing miracles and two medically documented cases of the dead being raised.

This week Dave Olson is at the table with Greg Baker, the Executive Vice President of THE FAMiLY LEADER Foundation and the Founding Director of Church Ambassador Network. Greg became a Christian while working on a governor's campaign, met his wife working in politics, found his church tribe in Walnut Creek Church in Des Moines, and launched into a life connecting leaders in the church and politics. Should the church engage in government? Dave and Greg explore this idea, and more, on this episode.

The Church Ambassador Network connects pastors, the shepherds of God’s Church, with the shepherds of government. By fostering gospel-centered relationships, they break down barriers and create pathways for meaningful dialogue, encouragement, and partnerships that address the needs of the community.

This is not the first time these two men have met at a table. But it is the first time here where they dive deep together in conversation on the God-orchestrated story that sent the Olson family on a trajectory that made a way for the calling on Dave's life and cleared the way for numerous lives to collide with King Jesus in this region. Today, Dave is at the table with his dad, Jim Olson.
