Behind every rebellious choice often lies a longing to belong. In today’s episode, Mark talks with two teens from Heartlight about the complicated reasons behind their struggles with drugs, running away and broken relationships. Both guests open up about learning independence at an early age and the risky paths they chased in hopes of being noticed and feeling loved. Their stories reveal how the search for acceptance and validation can lead teens down dangerous roads — and how honest conversations, second chances and the right support can spark real change. Listen in as these teens reflect on what it takes to mend family bonds and find true connection.

Healing Begins Here: Trauma has a way of lingering, not just in memory, but in the body, in patterns of thought, and sometimes even in the way we relate to God. And yet, what has shaped you does not have to define you.

In the mid-1980’s, Dr. Hormoz Shariat and his wife prayed, "Lord, use us to save Iran!" His passion for Muslims stems, in part, from the murder of his brother, Hamraz, who was arrested in Iran at the age of sixteen on a minor political charge. After two years in jail, he was executed by firing squad. God showed Dr. Shariat the best way to respond to this tragedy was to dedicate his life to bring one million Muslims to salvation in Christ. Join us on a journey out of bondage to Islam to freedom in Christ. Learn what the Bible says about Iran and why Iran is just the beginning of something big, eternal, and of historical proportion that is already happening!

In the second hour Dr. Matthews speaks with Stephanie Slade. Stephanie is a senior editor at Reason magazine and a fellow in liberal studies at the Acton Institute. She brings us her new book, Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue, and the Future of the American Right. It’s a compelling and necessary history of how the American conservative movement lost its philosophical compass—and a case for why it must be recovered.

This one is going to be fascinating and very informative. Plan to tune in for the whole of it.
