This month is the release of the new edition of my book,Secure: Discovering True Financial Freedom. I couldn’t be more excited with this second printing of my book because if ever there was a time for a clear biblical understanding of how to find security, it’s in these insecure times.

Since the Great Recession hit in 2008, countless families have gone through times when the bottom seems to be falling out. Whether losing a job, struggling through sustained unemployment or simply feeling the financial strains of our times, they wonder… perhaps you wonder… if it will ever get better. If financial security will ever return or be realized.

In this first of five video podcasts, I share why I wrote Secure and how it can help you steer through these challenging times.

Madge and Dave discuss the podcast love, Diff'rent Strokes, Lance Armstrong, Megan Fox, Julia Stiles, Jodie Foster, American Idol and Howard Stern. Plus, finding heads at the airport, New Feature Midget in a Backpack, I Don't Get Sandra Oh, and we still can't get through Lincoln. Also, people who get sayings wrong, don't use bathroom soap and the infestation of candles. Oh, and Madge channels Miss Piggy. (Week of January 14, 2012)

We praise Girls, a show we hate, and Kate Erbland helps us understand the genuine love for Lena Dunham's terribly average HBO series.

Plus, Broken City director Allen Hughes talks shooting fast, celebrating 20 years of Menace II Society and why he loves crime dramas, and Geoff explains a truly despicable "management" scam that aspiring screenwriters need to protect themselves against.

Don't get suckered. Listen now.

Madge and Dave discuss Monica Potter's Patrick Stewart bald cap, Charlie Sheen, Megan Fox, the People's Choice Awards, Golden Globes and Oscars. Also, Incontinence or Blank, The Boring-est and new feature Ben Affleck Got Robbed. Plus, nudity on TV, I Don't Get Whoopi Goldberg, bullshit shirts and crazy people who think you're friends because you drive the same car. Oh, and Dave speaks sushi. (Week of January 7, 2012)
