  • Foundational Fathers Podcast - Calling Over Career - When God’s Voice Matters More Than the Resume
    Apr 17 2026

    In this powerful episode of the Foundational Fathers Podcast, Nick “The Mute Bass Player” Sash and Marcus “The Philippian” sit down with legendary Christian music pioneer Scott Wesley Brown to unpack what it truly means to choose calling over career.

    Scott shares decades of wisdom from a life marked by obedience, sacrifice, and unwavering trust in God’s voice. This conversation challenges the cultural obsession with success and invites men to pursue something greater—a life surrendered to God’s purpose.

    If you’ve ever wrestled with choosing between opportunity and obedience… this episode will hit deep.


    💡 Takeaways

    God’s calling will often require sacrifice before it produces fruit

    Obedience matters more than visibility or success

    Your gifts are given by God—but your calling is defined by Him

    Trusting God’s providence means letting go of control

    True success is measured by faithfulness, not titles

    🎯 Sound Bites

    “God obviously gives each one of us gifts.”

    “God’s call is more important than a career.”

    “He knew all of his songs before yesterday.”

  • Foundational Fathers Podcast — Donut Holes
    Mar 13 2026

    In this creative and joy-filled episode of the Foundational Fathers Podcast, Nick Sash and Marcus Phillips sit down with Rob Evans — widely known as The Donut Man — to explore how humor, creativity, and storytelling can communicate powerful biblical truths to the next generation.


    Rob shares the story behind the famous “Donut Hole” illustration, a simple but profound metaphor that reveals the spiritual emptiness inside every person apart from Christ. Through laughter, donuts, and decades of children's ministry, Rob has helped families understand the message of grace, salvation, and spiritual transformation in unforgettable ways.


    Together, we talk about the creativity of God, the difference between salvation and sanctification, and how filling the “hole” in our hearts with Christ brings purpose, identity, and joy.


    If you love creative ministry, biblical teaching, or simply enjoy conversations that make you laugh while pointing people to Jesus, this episode is for you.


    🔑 Takeaways

    • The donut hole is a simple illustration of the spiritual emptiness every person experiences apart from God.

    • Humor and creativity can open doors for powerful biblical teaching.

    • God designed storytelling as a tool to communicate truth across generations.

    • Salvation fills the empty space, but sanctification shapes the life that follows.

    • Ministry to children can leave a lifelong spiritual impact.
