Could you forgive the shooter who murdered your spouse? Our guest---and three others---did so, privately and publicly, after the Charleston church massacre. Recounting the memory of his wife's death, hear this pastor reveal why he chose that path; what forgiveness should look like; and how true biblical love and mercy differ from our cultural patterns. Be inspired by his remarkable actions! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2:  Called To Forgive

Addiction is a huge problem in this country and, yes, it does impact the Church. Join us to hear a transparent and unashamed conversation with a father and daughter as they share first-person insights into the daughter’s struggles with drugs and alcohol as a teen---and what it took to get and stay clean. Her pastor father will offer a parent's perspective of those years and provide hope and real strategies to those longing for freedom---and their loved ones.

Hour 1:  Prodigal Daughter

Traumatic experiences happen to nearly everyone, at some time, in some form. The aftereffects--depression, anxiety, addiction, panic attacks, insomnia, and more--can affect us for years or even a lifetime. But the brokenness following a traumatic event is never a life sentence. We are all changed by trauma, but we do not have to be defined by it.
Drawing on cutting-edge research, our guest will teach us how to find relief and hope once and for all. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, he will discuss the whole-person treatment approach that recognizes you as a unique constellation of emotional, physical, intellectual, relational, and spiritual dimensions. Learn how trauma affects your emotions, body, brain, relationships, soul, and dreams and discover how to create a personalized plan to find your way back to wholeness, joy, and peace.

Hour 2:  Triumph Over Trauma

We start with some stories making headlines this hour and then move to a conversation about the anti-Israel protests happening on dozens of college campuses all across the country. Are these protests about free speech or is something more insidious happening? We then talk with a man who has been telling the culture of the importance of human exceptionalism. We will tackle questions posed by the ‘nature’s rights’ movement and what that means in terms of protecting our fellow man. We will also look at proposal out of Belgium that euthanizing old people would save the tax payers money. Much to think about this hour so join us as we learn how to apply Truth to the world around us. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1:  Free Speech and Free Will

This hour we tackle some of the questions atheists have regarding Christianity, the Bible, God, and science. As more and more people turn away from God, perhaps it's time we, as Christians, learned how to answer those questions that keep people from the Cross. How do we learn to hear the question behind the question? How can we answer with compassion and grace? Don’t miss this thought-provoking conversation.
