The emphasis in most churches today is centered upon the idea of let’s be as successful as we can as a witness to the blessings of God. Let’s show Him off by how He has blessed us. However, this is a slippery slope that draws us into building our best lives now. This can overtake the more important spiritual principles that Jesus taught us … deny yourself, pick up your cross, and follow Me. In this episode, Larry and his guest, Pastor, Author, and Bible Commentator Tom Parrish, talk about the Cultural Jesus.

Culture is no friend to our family or our children. Culture is what creeps into our homes and into the lives of our kids only to warp their worldview contrary to our values. In extreme cases, kids are harmed beyond repair and either end up hooked on drugs or exploited by sex traffickers. In this episode, Larry and his guest Reverend Shawn Morrison, talk about Child Endangerment.

Why is leadership the most important element in the Church? Well, we used to have a saying in ministry that summed it up … as the leader goes, so goes the church. Scripture tells us that leaders will be judged with a stricter judgment because of their influence. You see, leaders influence others. They convince people about doctrine, about worship, about prayer, and a host of other spiritual values that the Bible Teaches. However, while leaders influence, they can also mislead. Most leaders who do mislead do not do it intentionally, but until someone steps in to do a course correction in the church, the leader remains stuck. In this episode, Larry and his guest, Pastor Chis Heeb, talk about leadership in the  church.

People seem to like the half time shows of the Super Bowl, but are these shows just another example of the objectification of women?

Bible Commentator Chris Heeb joins Larry in this episode to talk about this issue.

We know there will be False Gospels that will be preached in the Last Days. Jesus told us that many would come in His Name and deceive many. This is why we need to repeatedly talk about the REAL Gospel, so we aren’t fooled by what comes our way posing as something from God … False Gospels are not from God. Join Larry in this episode as he talks about the False Gospels.

Cook's helper or Partner? In Genesis 2, when God creates the woman, she is described in relation to the man. In two Hebrew words packed full of meaning, ‘ezer kenegdo,’ God describes how the two are designed to go together. They are made for each other, just hours apart. Once together, they are to be a resourceful and satisfied pair, at home together in Eden. Modern language versions of the Bible translate these two Hebrew words in confusing and contradictory ways. But there really is no cause for confusion. The two words in Genesis 2:18 are not that hard to translate. An ‘ezer kenegdo’ is someone who is equal, a counterpart, one who works together with another as they help each other through sharing their strengths.
