Join us this hour as we take a look at several issues that challenge us to think critically and biblically. For example, why does one Ivy League “ethicist” promote the idea of euthanasia for our senior citizens, sick or not? If we found life on other planets, what would that say about ‘human exceptionalism’? And, should Chatbots be used for ministry? Roll up your sleeves, put on your thinking cap, and get ready to apply truth and reason to the world around us.

Peter Rosenberger shares powerful insights from an intense journey: 100 days in the hospital alongside his wife, Gracie. Recently undergoing her ninth surgery in a single stretch—bringing her lifetime total to 95 following a devastating accident in 1983—Gracie’s resilience becomes a backdrop for Peter’s reflections. He discusses lessons learned, meaningful encounters within the hospital, and the deep wells of devotion, faith, and perseverance required in the face of ongoing hardship. With honesty and hope, Peter explores how purpose and productivity can emerge even in life’s most challenging seasons, emphasizing the importance of staying spiritually and emotionally grounded.

Chris Quintana is back with Mary to talk about Hamas, Islam, and those who apologize in public for both. Having rejected Israel in every form, where does that leave us in this polarized world? It leaves Christians who have no biblical understanding of the importance of Israel and how her very existence proves a God Who knows the future AND keeps His Word. With celebrities dictating and influencing what others believe about such things at an alarming level, we have poster children Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens taking ignorant and outrageous anti-semitic stances, which colors their view on most everything else. Does it also discredit them?  We talk about their influence and why anyone should be surprised by this. We also discuss Hamas and the notion of Israel being guilty of genocide, another ignorant and hateful stance. Finally, what in the world is going on in Texas? Islam is spreading like a July brushfire and local governments look the other way. We get Chris’ take on why this is so in his own backyard. A full hour with a very articulate pastor/teacher/apologist.

Dive deep into the untold story of America's founding as we challenge the popular but incomplete narratives being taught today. The heart of America's origin isn't found in 1619 with the arrival of enslaved Africans, but in the competing legacies of two foundational colonies: Jamestown and Plymouth. While both settlements influenced American development, their contrasting approaches to slavery and liberty have shaped our nation in profoundly different ways.

Did you know Plymouth Colony outlawed the transatlantic slave trade in 1641, decades before our nation's founding? When enslaved Africans arrived in Plymouth in 1646, authorities imprisoned the ship's crew and freed all the captives - a remarkable stand against slavery rarely mentioned in modern historical discussions.

Even more compelling are the stories of Black American heroes who helped forge our nation from its earliest days. You'll meet Reverend Harry Hoosier, whose powerful evangelism during the Second Great Awakening led to so many conversions that Indiana eventually became known as the "Hoosier State." You'll discover patriots like Wentworth Cheswell, elected to multiple offices by predominantly white communities; Prince Estabrook, who fought at Lexington Green; and James Armistead Lafayette, whose spy work provided the critical intelligence that led to American victory at Yorktown. These extraordinary individuals embodied America's founding ideals long before they were fully realized for all citizens.

By examining our history through a more complete lens, we gain a deeper appreciation for America's founding vision—not as a nation built on oppression, but as one founded on revolutionary principles of liberty that generations of Americans of all backgrounds have worked to fulfill. Join us as we rediscover the full richness of our shared heritage and the ongoing pursuit of America's founding promise.
