Why is Greenland, a vast island of ice, suddenly at the center of global headlines? Following President Trump’s headline-grabbing statements, the world is focused on this strategic Arctic landmass. On this episode of The Clash, hosts Jeff Dixon and Dr. Chris Whaley break down the complex geopolitical chess match being played. They explore the critical issues: America’s national security interests against threats from Russia and China, the immense untapped natural resources, the future of crucial Arctic shipping lanes, and the genius behind Trump’s negotiation tactics. More importantly, they tackle the topic from a Christian worldview. How do we balance resource development with environmental stewardship? What are the moral responsibilities of a superpower? And could this geopolitical shift open new doors for the Gospel? Whether you’re confused by the news or want a deeper, faith-based perspective on current events, this episode will educate, inform, and challenge you to think biblically about the world stage.

Filmmaker Rick Pamplin (“Burt Reynolds: The Last Interview”) joins The Clash to share one of the most incredible life stories you will ever hear. Beginning in a hospital bed where doctors told him he wouldn’t live to be 20, Rick details a journey fueled by a profound faith and a refusal to accept limitations. He recounts the pivotal moments of defiance—from burning his restrictive medical letters and flushing his prescriptions down the toilet to running away from military school to hitchhike to Hollywood. Pamplin shares his disillusionment with organized religion after a pastor dismissed his dreams, and how that experience forged a more personal, resilient faith. In a story full of unbelievable twists, he reveals how he accidentally became Sylvester Stallone’s neighbor just before Rocky exploded, worked with the entire Stallone family, and how a random encounter in a bathroom led him to create, write, and direct the iconic TV show GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling). This is a powerful testimony of perseverance, divine appointments, and carving your own path when the world tells you it’s impossible.

Award-winning director Rick Pamplin shares the unbelievable, decades-long story of his quest to meet his childhood hero, Burt Reynolds. What began as a young man’s ambition in Hollywood spiraled into a 50-year journey of near-misses, crushing disappointments, and moments of divine intervention—including showing up on set the day Burt punched his director. After losing everything and finding himself on the brink of homelessness, Rick explains how his unwavering faith and persistence were finally rewarded in the most unexpected way. He recounts the powerful, hour-long conversation that became “Burt Reynolds: The Last Interview,” a raw and vulnerable look at the screen legend just after he had committed his life to Christ. This is a profound testimony about patience, God’s perfect timing, and how a lifelong dream fulfilled by a Hollywood icon ultimately opened the door for Rick to make his most important film yet: a movie about Jesus.

As we step into 2026, many of us are tempted to drag the “baggage” of last year—the mistakes, the “could-haves,” and the guilt—into our future. But in this episode, hosts Jeff Dixon and Dr. Chris Whaley (The Masked Saint) remind us of a powerful truth: It’s a brand-new year, but we serve the same eternal, unchanging God.
Join the conversation as we explore why “Redemption triumphs over regret every time.” Jeff and Chris dive into the theology of moving from a victim mentality to a victorious life, the significance of Christ’s final words on the cross, and the miraculous promise that God’s mercies are unique and brand-new every single morning.
Don’t stay at the cross halfway—stay long enough to realize your guilt is gone. It’s time to stop looking over your shoulder and start walking into the victory God has prepared for you this year.

The calendar changes, but God doesn’t. As we stand on the threshold of a brand-new year, many of us feel a sense of dread rather than excitement. What if nothing changes? What if I fail again?
Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley explore the collision between culture’s obsession with “New Year, New Me” and the biblical call to “Take Heart.” This conversation isn’t about gym memberships or organized paper calendars; it’s about the shift from fear to trust. Join us for a dose of humor, honesty, and hope as we prepare to clash with the culture of 2026.
