Joel has a passion for Biblical truth and teaching men how to respond to cultural lies. Joel has a background in criminal justice, with many years in security, working in the sheriff department, and as military police in the Marine Corps. After eight years, Joel was medically retired from the Marine Corps and began his studies. He has a Bachelor’s from Arizona State University in Recreational Therapy and a Masters of Christian Apologetics program from Talbot School of Theology, Biola University. Joel has a passion for helping others understand God’s Word and grappling with the many difficult questions today’s believers face. Joel is a gifted apologist and teacher/trainer with 16 years’ experience, across seven countries. He regularly contributes to Legacy’s blog and video production and started another podcast in 2023. Joel began the E3Underground podcast as a resource for men, to challenge men to step into their God-given roles as fathers, husbands, and within the community. Joel and his wife Rebeccah have been married since 2012 and have five young children. He enjoys hiking, bike riding, traveling and reading for fun!

Rebeccah is wife to Joel and stay at home/homeschool mom to their five young children. She has a bachelor’s degree in Theological Studies and a Master’s in Social Work, 15 years in the Social Work field and has seen how the world teaches, treats, and responds to the struggles men face. Her experience in the social work field gives her firsthand knowledge and experience with the social justice movement, woke culture, and the struggles of children, teens, young adults, men and those who "identify" as LGBTQ. Rebeccah has worked, trained and taught alongside her husband for 14 years, first in the Marine Corps and presently in ministry, helping with the E3Underground podcast, program planning, content creation, and administrative needs. She currently works as an adjunct for two Arizona universities. Rebeccah enjoys listening to music, and when she has free time: reading, running and writing.

Kate Record is a homeschooling mother of two who has been married to her husband Tyler for 14 years. Kate has a bachelor's degree in advertising and 10 years of experience in nonprofit development, volunteer management, and event planning. When she's not teaching her children she's running her small business selling children's books to families. Kate is an advocate for literacy and building up strong families. She frequently listens to podcasts related to faith, homeschooling, and parenting. Over the years she's noticed a distinct lack of podcasts and resources specifically for Godly men, however, and was thrilled when Joel started E3 Underground to offer fathers support.

Clark received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior at a young age. As a young adult and young father, Clark became discouraged and angry with pastors and leaders of the churches I attended and allowed the actions of others interfere with his relationship with the Lord. He left the church for over twenty years. Clark had a successful career in federal service and near retirement the Lord brought him to a place where Clark could only turn to Him. Clark learned: no matter how far he walked away from the Lord; He was right there. Clark returned to the Church in 2017, serving in multiple capacities and eventually working on staff. Clark realizes the importance of having and being mentors and a positive influence to a few young Christians. Clark's support of E3 Underground's focus on using the Bible to train Christian men comes from a recognition of the need and how many men it could help from wasting their time when they could be serving the Lord.
