Can the problem of pain be addressed by reason? Is certainty a prerequisite for faith? Many wrestle with these and other complex questions around meaning, morality, identity, family, sexuality, politics, and spirituality. As the senior fellow for apologetics and evangelism at the C.S. Lewis Institute, our guest will offer encouragement for the journey. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For an anxious and weary world, the gospel of Jesus Christ is the one true source of deep peace and lasting joy. But today, many supposedly Christian teachers are spreading ideas that amount to what Paul called "another gospel."
The result? A generation of believers confused about what God really says, what He offers, and what He wants for his children. From the heavy burden of legalism to an overemphasis on prosperity or spiritual gifts to warped understandings of grace, every false teaching has two things in common: they all use half-truths that look and sound biblical (making them very difficult to identify) and they all harm and discourage those who are trying to follow the way of Jesus. Our guest will share the painful consequences of following false teachings and will provide clear explanations of what the Bible really teaches about the Gospel. He will bring clarity and hope to anyone who has felt discouraged or confused in their spiritual journey—and will invite us to discover everything we’ve been searching for in the true Gospel.

Hour 2:  Misled

It’s no secret that our government-run public education system has held generations of Americans hostage. The teachers unions—the government’s stormtroopers—have been hard at work running a mass misinformation campaign to convince parents that because this is how it has always been, this is how it has to be. But here’s what you may not realize: the parents are winning, and we have entered the death spiral of the education dictatorship. The school choice revolution is here, and moms and dads are successfully restoring parental rights in education, one state, one school district at a time. Our guest, America’s most prominent and influential advocate of school choice, unapologetically argues why parents and political leaders must lean into the culture war taking place in schools. He exposes the hypocritical elites who are content to hold other people’s children captive to poorly run government schools while sending their own children to the best private and charter schools out there. He will help us to “look well to the ways of our household”. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1:  The Parent Revolution

Do you truly experience the promises Jesus gave to those who follow him—the benefits of peace, freedom, and love? The fact is that many of us struggle with a gap between what we believe about God and how we encounter him in our everyday lives. We don't want our faith to be merely conceptual—we want to experience it viscerally—and yet we often come up against one or more of these major gaps:
· I believe God loves me, but I don't feel it.
· I believe God is with me, but I don't see him.
· I thought I'd be further along in my spiritual progress by now.
Join us to learn some tangible tools for engaging with God in a deeper, more soul-satisfying way. Discover patterns that keep you spiritually stuck so that you can replace them with habits and practices that will lead to a more vibrant faith life.

Hour 2:  The Expectation Gap

Does America no longer feel like home? Widespread divorce rates, the erosion of traditional marriage, the popular rise of radical ideologies, attacks on faith, and government interference are only a few of the factors contributing to the struggles of families in our culture. And because of the importance of healthy families to every part of our national life, the breakdown of the family threatens to rob us of the country we love. But it doesn't have to be this way.
Our guest fears we are losing the country we love. He joins us today to give us the facts, inspiration, and theory-to-action answers we need to restore a key foundation of America: the family. Strong families are the cornerstone of strong communities. Strong communities build a strong nation. Only when we prioritize the family as an institution established by God will we proudly remain the land of the free and the home of the brave. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1:  The Perilous Fight

The attempted cures for climate change are generally worse than the disease—especially for the poor. Demands to transform the global energy infrastructure to depend heavily on wind, solar, and other renewables are harmful to people in America and the world–especially to the poor. Meanwhile, continued large-scale use of traditional energy sources like nuclear, hydro, and fossil fuels would reduce poverty while doing less harm to the environment. Join us as our guests combine outstanding climate science, physics, economics, environmental science, political science, ethics, and theology to present a well-reasoned understanding of human-induced climate change and how to respond to it.
