CIAM Radio

Segment 1

• A federal court just disrupted abortion pill access—does this finally close the “mail-order” loophole?

• Lawmakers press the uncomfortable question: if you advocate abortion, will you actually defend the methods used?

• Graphic realities surface—what does it say about a nation that funds and normalizes this?

Segment 2

• Are cultural elites trying to turn your kids against you—and calling it “justice”?

• A new push claims older generations are the problem… but is this just recycled Marxism?

• What happens when society blames grandma instead of bad policy, debt, and inflation?

Segment 3

• Why are pastors apologizing for Scripture—and what does that reveal about modern preaching?

• If God commands something the culture hates, who do you trust: your instincts or His authority?

• One word—“likewise”—could reshape how you understand roles, submission, and obedience

Segment 4

• Are churches discipling kids—or just entertaining them to keep families coming back?

• What if youth ministry isn’t broken—but fundamentally misaligned with Scripture?

• Could older believers—not programs—be the missing key to lasting faith in the next generation?

Next 3 day's theme: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives 4 - Barnabas

Barnabas stood up for the newly converted Paul when no one else would, modelling a grace that gives people a second chance. Is there someone in your life who needs you to stand up for them today?

Acts 9:26 – “When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple.”

Quote: Mark messed up. Paul said "sorry, you're out". Barnabas said "give him a second chance!" Perhaps Paul had forgotten the grace and encouragement that Barnabas had shown him when nobody else believed in him?

Suffering is real — and pretending otherwise doesn't make us stronger. In this opening episode of a new series on trusting God in suffering, Dr. John Neufeld tackles one of the most honest questions a believer can ask: where is God when life falls apart? Drawing from Scripture, literature, and his own personal loss, Dr. John makes the case that authentic faith doesn't shy away from the reality of pain — it faces it head on.

Trusting God in Suffering: One of the obstacles to faith is the problem of pain. Why does a powerful loving God allow suffering? The Scriptures are forthright and do not ignore, diminish or bypass the problem. Nor do they resolve it. But God does tell us how we are to respond to pain. In this 10 message series, Dr. John will explore God’s teaching on pain. It will not answer every question, but it will help us in the midst of our struggles.

You love your kids. But some days you lose it, replay it, and carry the weight. Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler, authors of Risen Motherhood: Gospel Hope for Everyday Moments, meet you smack dab in the middle of your mess, not the highlight reel. They challenge the suffocating pressure to be the “ideal mom” and point to something far sturdier when your guilt, comparison, and chaos are hitting home.
