Chad grew up in rural Illinois before going into the Navy at 18. He spent four years in active duty and was forward deployed for much of that time. He worked on F/A-18 aircraft onboard two different aircraft carriers. His time in service gave him the opportunity to explore different parts of the world. He and his wife went to Southern Illinois University where they finished bachelors degrees and headed off into the workforce. Chad worked in the aviation industry for years until he went through a complete change of course. For the last 14 years he has been in full time vocational ministry. Since then, Chad has finished a masters degree and continues to learn by being an avid reader, practitioner and carnivore of useful wisdom. Chad loves the outdoors, sports and good coffee. They currently reside in Dublin, Georgia. Chad founded A New Kind of Man in 2018. His long journey into manhood and his study of masculinity began after the birth of his son decades ago. His own limitations led him to exploring the bible and other men from history to find better examples of what it means to be a man. His journey into manhood is still unfolding and he refers to it from time to time through his writing and podcasts, so plug in to hear it. You can follow Chad HERE

This week my guest, Dalton Risner joins us to talk about his journey to the NFL and the Denver Broncos, about making a Positive Impact through the sharing God's Word.    Far more than just a professional football player, Dalton has always had a passion for helping others and making them smile. Raised in the small town of Wiggins, Colorado, his work on the family farm and involvement in the lives of friends and neighbors, molded Dalton into who he is today. Even as a highly decorated collegiate player for the Kansas State Wildcats, Dalton was perhaps better known for his work off the field, through Special Olympics, the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program, Camp Hope, and his own volunteerism with area schools and hospitals. Dalton believes life is measured by the joy you bring to others – not your own individual accomplishments. That’s why he started RisnerUp. www.risnerup.com
