Segment 1

• A coalition of liberal theologians claims democracy is collapsing and urges Christians to “resist”.

• Todd unpacks the irony of condemning “Christian nationalism” while using faith to pressure government policy.

• The emotional language sounds righteous on the surface—but once you slow it down, does it actually hold up?

Segment 2

• “Every person bears God’s image”—but does that automatically determine public policy?

• Todd challenges the logic of using biblical truths to justify specific political outcomes without defining terms.

• A powerful persuasion tactic is exposed: overwhelm your opponent so disagreement makes you look cruel.

Segment 3

• A prominent conservative Baptist leader converts to Roman Catholicism—how does someone go from “grace alone” to a works-based system?

• The deep psychological pull of tradition, history, and apostolic lineage.

• Why parents must ground their children in the doctrine of the true, invisible Church before someone else defines their heritage for them.

Segment 4

• A growing number of Christians now trust AI for spiritual advice more than their pastors.

• Todd explains why AI doesn’t give you truth—it often gives you what you want to hear.

• Massive layoffs, sermon prep shortcuts, and the quiet erosion of pastoral authority—are we outsourcing discernment?

Who is the real Jesus — and how do we know? In this message, Dr. John examines Paul's bold proclamation before King Agrippa and Governor Festus, showing that the Jesus Paul preached was never disconnected from Scripture, but was always its fulfilment. A timely and convicting call to know and believe in the authentic Jesus — the one revealed in the Word.

Jesus Goes Global: A Prisoner of Christ: When we read the book of Acts, we tend to give primary attention to the formation and growth of the Church in the early chapters. We then highlight the three mission trips of Paul. But some of the most profound lessons lie in the final chapters of Acts 25-28. Dr. John will show God extending His Kingdom through the personal struggle and imprisonment of Paul. The world’s worst cannot impede God’s best.

When you find yourself unable to move forward in life, it’s probably because you’re focusing on the obstacle rather than the objective. Remember nothing is impossible for God...He specializes in the impossible.

On what should have been his son’s wedding day, Tim & Challies stood at a graveside and read the wedding speech he never got to give. Months earlier, 20-year-old Nick had collapsed and died without warning. If God is good, why is the future we imagine buried? When the life we plan is gone and peace feels like a promise meant for someone else, is faith strong enough for the life we'd never choose?

Jason and Tori Benham equip couples and families to face fear, panic and anxiety that would otherwise prevent us from doing what God has called us to do. They speak from firsthand experience about panic attacks, paralyzing fear and sleepless nights. They also describe a proven biblical and brain-based process that helped set them free from these kinds of debilitating struggles. The 3-step plan of attack involves recognizing what’s happening, renouncing the lie, and replacing it with the truth.
