I'm Maria Kannakova and I'm Nate Silver and our new podcast Risky Business is a show about making better decisions.

We're both journalists who moonlight as poker players and that's the lens we're going to use to approach this entire show.

We're going to be discussing everything from high-stakes poker to personal questions.

Like whether I should call a plumber or fix my shower myself.

And of course we'll be talking about the election too.

Listen on the I-Heart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Welcome to the Tudor Dixon Podcast. You guys probably all remember the story from about

eight years ago when there was the coach who was praying on the football field and

he ended up getting fired for that. I heard that story and I remember

thinking this is such an amazing story of a man of deep faith and I'm so glad to tell you that today we have coach Joe Kennedy with us and

the backstory to this is actually a little bit more interesting than that because as I'm

reading about this I'm like this is actually a man who was in a very young faith, very young faith, and yet God calls people of all different levels of faith to do amazing things.

So Coach Kennedy, thank you so much for being with me today.

I'm going to see you.

Oh, wow.

So tell us, because I really really did it's kind of I don't know how to explain it I think when I heard your story it was one of those things where I was like oh I wish that I was that brave that I could do that but I clearly don't have that level of faith

inside of me like I'm I'm still growing in my faith so I would need a lot more faith to be able to

boldly go up against the whole machine.

And then I'm reading your story and it's like you had just recently really discovered who

God was in your life.

It was kind of one of those things where it was like who are you where are you and

you committed to God if you bring my wife and I together I will give my life over to you
