#212 | Why Dinner Went from 90 Minutes to 12 (And How to Fix It) with Ian Simkins

In a culture addicted to screens, speed, and echo chambers, something sacred has slipped away: the simple act of gathering across a table with people face to face. On this episode of Talks with Gallagher, John sits down with his longtime friend and fellow Judson University alumnus Ian Simkins, lead pastor of The Bridge Church outside Nashville and author of the new book "Every Table an Altar: Reclaiming Connection in a World of Division, Distraction, and Loneliness." Ian unpacks why dinnertime in America dropped from 90 minutes to under 12, how an eye condition turned into an encounter in northern India, and why Jesus chose controversial dinner tables over auditorium stages to change the world. What We Cover in This Episode: • The Judson University chapel message that started a 16-year connection • The 90-to-12-minute collapse of family dinner and what it costs our kids • Face-to-face healing: how Ian’s vulnerability in an Indian orphanage changed his view of presence • Luke 14 hospitality: why Jesus calls us to sit with people who can never pay us back • "That’s how an ax murderer talks": Ian’s late-night IHOP love story with his wife, Katie • Rethinking communion: shifting from a funeral memorial to a future celebration • A pastoral prayer for the lonely, singles, and families fighting for connection Connect with Pastor Ian Simkins: • Book: "Every Table an Altar" (available at major retailers and on Amazon) • Website: https://iansimkins.com • The Bridge Church: https://bridge.tv • Instagram: https://instagram.com/iansimkins Connect with Talks with Gallagher: • Subscribe on Apple Podcasts & Spotify • Follow on YouTube & Social Media: @TalkswithGallagher Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/talks-with-gallagher--6106098/support .

#211 | Ministry Is a Way of Life: Everyday Faith with Doreen Morehouse

What if ministry isn’t a role you step into but a way you live? On Talks with Gallagher, Doreen Morehouse shares how a 2016 ministry trip to Brazil changed her understanding of prayer, healing, and what she calls “Kingdom living.” She recounts experiences that shaped her faith—and explains why the opportunities to love and serve people often appear in ordinary places: at the grocery store, on an airplane, or even at her front door. Doreen and John discuss making space in a busy schedule, overcoming the fear of reaching out, and letting ministry flow from a relationship with God rather than from a title or a list of tasks. Doreen also shares encouragement for parents who want to model faith at home and help their children grow in it. Doreen is an instructor at Global Awakening’s College of Ministry and a certified master equipper through its Christian Healing Certification Program. If you’ve wondered how to live out your Christian faith beyond Sunday, this conversation offers stories and practical encouragement for the everyday moments in front of you.

#210 | The Business Polygraph: Andrew Brümmer on Reinvention, AI Truth, and Legacy

At 54, after nearly a decade inside one organization, Andrew Brümmer's career fell apart overnight — with no degree, no safety net, and only 10 people he knew in Atlanta. What followed became the most purposeful period of his professional life. Known as "The Business Polygraph," Andrew joins Talks with Gallagher to talk about rebuilding a personal brand from zero, why he treats AI as a governance system rather than just a tool, and a story that will change how you think about AI: an AI model once told him directly, "I am programmed to tell you what I think you want to hear." We also dig into the recent Hugging Face / OpenAI agentic misalignment report, why Andrew compares today's AI fear to Y2K panic, and how his company My Story Told is using AI and human editorial structure to turn ordinary people's lived experience into permanent books before their stories are lost. In this episode: - The real story behind Andrew's 2024 career collapse and rebuild - Why he's called "The Business Polygraph" and what that actually means in practice - His unfiltered reaction to the AI whistleblower reports making headlines - How to use AI as a thinking partner without losing your own judgment - The mission behind My Story Told and why everyone "has earned the right to be heard" - His guiding principle: "Plant seeds that will grow trees you will never sit under" Andrew Brümmer is COO of Industry Technologies, co-founder of VeritEye, founder of My Story Told, and the author of "You Decide" and "Leading Magnanimously." He mentors founders through TiE Atlanta and Access Foundations and coaches executives through The Ardunan Village.

#209 | The Supernatural War Over Israel | War of the Watchers | Derek Gilbert

Is the conflict in the Middle East purely political, or are we witnessing the continuation of an ancient, unseen cosmic rebellion? In this special Rosh Hashanah episode of Talks with Gallagher , host Gallagher sits down with veteran researcher, SkyWatchTV analyst, and author Derek P. Gilbert to unpack his latest release: War of the Watchers: Book One—From Baal to Balfour . Derek introduces the concept of the geopolitics—the unseen principalities pulling the strings behind modern geopolitics—and traces the cosmic war from the pre-human rebellion of Leviathan and Yam, to the pact made by 200 Watchers on Mount Hermon, all the way to Jesus Christ strategically taking the fight directly to enemy territory at Caesarea Philippi.

#208 | Generational Curses, Trauma & The Freedom Journey | Jake Kail

"What's the difference between a struggle you just need to pray through and one that requires deliverance? In this episode, Jake Kail — author of 14 books and founder of Jake Kail Ministries — joins us to talk about his newest release, The Freedom Journey Discipleship Manual. Jake spent eight years as lead pastor of Threshold Church before moving into full-time deliverance ministry. We talk through the legal-versus-experiential framework at the heart of his book, why deliverance still carries stigma in many churches, how to recognize a generational curse, the real link between trauma and demonic influence, and a remarkable testimony of a woman whose life was transformed through inner healing and deliverance.
