Rebekah is a wife and mother of 3 who lives in Tucson. In this episode, Rebekah shares how she approached the Christian school where her kids attended school to ask if they had safeguards in place to prevent access to pornography. During her visit, the principal admitted she wasn’t aware if there were any – and took action.  Rebekah’s story is an example of how one woman made an impact – and how you can too.

Since 2020, there have been a stream of professing Christians who have walked away from the church, some publicly. The times we’re living in are spiritually dangerous; it’s important that we warn God’s people and encourage, challenge, and equip for the days we’re living in. Mike gets into The Falling Away and provides action steps every believer can take.

When a man immerses himself in the evil of sexual sin for years, his heart will eventually harden and grow cold. At that point, anything can happen. Olivia’s fiancée played a major role in bringing her to Christ. Several years into their marriage, her Christian husband’s addiction to porn came to light. As time went on his heart went dark and he became verbally and then physically abusive. Eventually their marriage ended in divorce. Olivia’s story shows the horrific consequences of what sexual sin can do to a man and his family.

Today, many true believers are getting hit with intense spiritual warfare. Some fall away, and tragically, others give in to suicide. Starting August 1, when the Las Vegas campaign began, Mike went through 4 weeks of intense spiritual warfare that included 3:00AM attacks, being hit with suicidal thoughts, the intense pull to turn away from God, lies, physical anxiety and other ways. God came through during this time in the furnace and provided the way to victory. Afterward, Mike needed time to recover from emotional exhaustion. In this episode Mike shares the story of what happened in August, and discusses how you can be a spiritual overcomer.

Nathan Bentley is the senior pastor of Lifepoint Church in San Tan Valley, AZ.

Psalm 92 tells us that the “righteous still bear fruit in old age.” Caleb, at the age of 85, continued to take new territory. Anna, the 84 year old prophetess, devoted her life to prayer, worship and fasting. We are given no pictures in the Bible of spiritual retirement; the parable of the rich man in Luke 16 who planned to  spend his golden years “relaxing, eating, and drinking” and had God end his life is a warning for us to make our lives count for eternity into our final years.
