About this podcast
The Second Mile w/ Josh Daniel is about choosing to go beyond what is required.
Built on the words of Christ in Matthew 5:41, The Second Mile explores what it means to live differently in a world that increasingly settles for less. Through conversations about faith, leadership, service, war, family, business, hardship, and purpose, Josh shares his own experiences and sits down with people whose stories, lessons, and perspectives are worth hearing.
The message is simple: Love God, love your neighbor, hold the standard, shoulder more than your share, and go another mile.
