[Original airdate: 1/16/24) We chat with author, blogger and speaker Alisa Childers on the topic of “deconstructing” Christianity; what it is, why it’s destructive and how to respond. With terms like “ex-vangelical” and “toxic” faith/Christianity/church being tossed around, it would appear we have a postmodern exit demographic to deal with. Is it anti-authority, the desire to not be “hemmed in” by moral imperatives, or is it something different? Counselors are standing by, not because they care about the person’s salvation, but rather getting them what they want – to be free of the Christianity they have been exposed to or raised in. In a way, it’s not surprising but at the same time, the bible tells us there is only ONE way to heaven, and that’s through Jesus Christ and what His death and resurrection mean and require of us. A thought provoking discussion designed to help those who might know and love someone in this process.

[Original airdate: 6/8/23] Russ Miller and Mary Danielsen discuss the foundations of our faith, our childrens’ faith and how the entire bible is suspect and untrustworthy if Genesis is not true. The first 3 words of Genesis, “In the Beginning”, lay the foundation not only for the time dimension but also Real Science. Today’s science cannot come to the proper conclusions because their original premise is faulty.  Russ heads up Creation, Evolution and Science ministries and brings a wealth of knowledge to our understanding of The Beginning and how to defend our faith in light of truth.

Mary chats with Martyn Iles, Executive CEO of Answers in Genesis. He is an Australian-born lawyer and commentator, specializing in the areas of freedom of religion, conscience, and speech. He is also known for his many gospel-focused appearances in the Australian mainstream media and for his online programs, “Living in Babylon”, “The Truth of It”, and “Truth in 10”.  Today we focus on his new book, “Who Am I? Solving the Identity Puzzle”, which delves into the false identity worldview that is all around us. Looking deep within ourselves not only yields no truthful answers to this age old query, it actually yields the wrong answers about what it truly means to be made in God’s image and living that out every day. With all the mental health obsessions and emotionally based school curricula, which is also in the church, are we any closer to understanding it’s not about us – nor has it ever been? All the subjective internal contemplation we can pursue in our short lives will never tell us what we need to know about the God who made us and Who reveals objective truth about our Creator, creation, life, death, and beyond.

[Original airdate: 10/13/23] Mary Danielsen chats with Carl Kerby in-studio about the current focus and recent ministry opportunities with youth around the country through Reasons for Hope. What is important to our kids and grandkids right now? How can we convey the importance of loving truth and how best can we communicate those immutable truths that Scripture outlines so that it translates into a vital, life changing worldview? We discuss various worldviews and encourage parents to listen to and invest wisely in their kids. Carl, a former Answers in Genesis board member and contributor, has a wealth of experience and knowledge in all major areas of apologetics.

Carl’s books are available here.

[Original airedate: 11/3/23] Mary talks to Jason Jimenez about his new book, Parenting Gen Z and the specific challenges parents face with youth who are utterly dependent – on technology. So many things have changed, and there are people being born and raised and mired in cultural changes that are significantly more challenging than previous generations. What is unique to these young people? What are they fearful of? Are they interested in spiritual matters?  Many believe they don’t know how to conduct meaningful relationships which cannot bode well for future marriages and parenting. And yet, every generation needs truth; they need unconditional love; they need a Saviour. Helping parents navigate the differentials is a task of the utmost importance and Jason is there with a well-thought out guide.

Mary Danielsen welcomes back Carl Teichrib to navigate interfaithism and transformational culture, designed to speed humanity forward into a global spirituality. Carl is a researcher’s researcher who travels to transformational festivals to view firsthand the lies of a movement in which participants work towards transcending beyond the mundane and toward a cosmic consciousness. Carl’s insights and his love for those who are lost and heading toward the deception of the temporary kingdom of Antichrist is an important part of what drives him to be part of these events.. We discuss the latest festival, the “Eclipse Festival” from early April and the various workshops that are offered. The Lighthouse Trails book that has his transformation terms glossary is entitled “A New Narrative for  New World”  and his booklets are found here.  His book, Game of gods, can be found here.

Dr. J.B. Hixson

Mary Danielsen chats with JB Hixson about deception in the last days. Deception and lies are of course traveling companions; knowing the truth in a culture that operates openly on lies is a tremendous challenge today. Beyond the daily misrepresentations of media and our fellow humans, there is delusion; beyond delusion is quite possibly loss of all things and an eternity in hell. With the recent eclipse mania, and an entire nation looking at the same thing at the same time, with the attending hype by professing Christians – well, there is a recipe for mass delusion. We look at the 5 core essentials of deception: question truth, misrepresent truth, contradict truth, focus on motives, and deconstruct language. The believer has to be wide awake to keep from being deceived in these times.

Mary talks with John Hopper about making evangelism a way of life. John has discussed questions about God and life with Muslim clerics in Uzbekistan, Buddhist monks in Canada, slum-dwellers in Guatemala and tennis professionals at Wimbledon. Now, he serves as Houston Area Director for Search Ministries, a nationwide organization focused on creating opportunities for stimulating, sensitive and respectful conversations for those wrestling with life’s big questions. Prior to joining Search, John served for 16 years as a pastor at BridgePoint Bible Church in Houston.  So many Christians want to share Jesus with others but don’t know where to start. In Giving Jesus Away: Finding Joy in Sharing the Gospel, John provides readers with clear principles and ideas on building friendships with unbelievers, starting natural and meaningful conversations that lead to Jesus, and sharing the gospel clearly. In addition, readers are coached on how to tackle their own fears as well as address the barriers that keep unbelievers from faith. He doesn’t just encourage you to jump in the water, he teaches you how to swim!

Mary Danielsen chats with Kyle Peart and Flynn Huseby of Once Lost Ministries, which exists to boldly proclaim truth, both to those who are lost and for the local church to defend, encourage and exhort via the use of apologetics.  Is the Seventh Day church solid? What is their history? Their view of Jesus? Evangelicals have long been confused by their doctrine; would they fail the test for a cult? What happened after cult expert Walter Martin tried to work with them to gain an evangelical footing? We will try and clarify what they believe and why it matters. They have a strong media presence and put on flashy prophecy conferences, but fail to identify themselves to those watching or attending. In the second half, we will discuss “in-house” apologetics – using solid doctrinal stances to help people navigate where their church is at – and unfortunately, often where it is going if the local church veers away from teaching doctrine to teaching the latest best-seller.

[Original airdate 1/11/24] Mary Danielsen talks to Tom McMahon of The Berean Call about the coming strong delusion and how the church has gotten so far from reason and apologetics as to become a church based on feelings and doing what seems right. Beyond the itching ear syndrome and seeker-friendly paradigms, we will look at how crafting worship and messages around illiciting an emotional reaction is now the norm. From Bethel to political correctness and social justice, the emotion based church has taken us far afield from being able to reason about what we believe – the what AND the why. Food for thought and sound reasoning as usual from The Berean Call. Since the late 1980s, the late Dave Hunt and TA have faithfully contended for the faith once delivered to the saints.
