Recently, our friend Natasha Crain sent us a text message asking us for practical ideas for biblically-based justice ministries, besides opening a food pantry. We quickly bombarded her with an avalanche of ideas. We thought it would be fun to turn this text string into a podcast. Let's put on our sanctified imagination and think about some ways that Christians can speak prophetically and help to push back the darkness and bring in the light of the Gospel.

Alisa Childers hosts the virtual launch party celebrating Monique & Krista's new book, Walking in Unity.

Our friend, Delano Squires (from the Heritage Foundation), thinks there is a very specific formula for cultural renewal. We are doing a deep dive on the root causes of our cultural collapse and the pathway out of the mess.

One of the projects that fund-raised for back on Giving Tuesday 2022 was to produce a short mini-doc about our origins story. It's finally here! And we are so excited to share it with you! If you've ever wondered how we became friends, this is the story.

Monique just got home from her second trip to Africa in 2024. You won't want to miss her field report about the great needs for sound teaching and apologetics in Africa. Monique will also be sharing some of her thoughts about short term mission trips, when they can be genuinely helpful and when they aren't. Toward the end, Monique and Krista share their thoughts about the new movie, "Am I Racist?" You won't want to miss this!

The world feels like an unstable place. It seems like we are constantly standing on the brink of military conflict. Some conservatives are raising questions about these on-going conflicts and that we seem to be constantly involving ourselves in other countries’ business. We've asked our friend, Kevin Briggins, to come on the show and share his perspective on these global conflicts. He's long time military vet and has a Bachelor's degree in Middle Eastern studies.

Politics is complicated and emotional. We have asked Kevin to come on and help us break down critical parts of the party platforms in light of the Christian worldview.

A key theme on the podcast this year is justice for the pre-born. We are exploring the issue from a variety of different angles. This week, our friend Erin Kunkle, is coming on the show to discuss her experience as a teenage mother and her journey to the faith.

We have been sounding the alarm for several years about the creep of progressive ideology coming into evangelical institutions since the beginning of the ministry. We have been especially vocal about issues related to indiscriminate hiring. Our friend, Megan Basham, has noticed many of the same problems but investigated things through a different means: following the money. Her reporting is raising important questions about historically trusted institutions. You will NOT want to miss this LIVE show!

More and more people are looking for alternatives to public education. We invited our friend, Jerry Nelson, Chief Ministry Officer at ACSI to share about the pros and cons of Christian schools. What are some important things to look for to see if it's a good fit for your family? Plus, we ask Jerry about ACSI's vision to put discipleship and biblical unity before diversity.
