Get ready for a bold, thought-provoking discussion with Spencer Nakamura! Can Christian influencers truly inspire critical thinking in a world dominated by noise? Are we allowing AI to replace the Holy Spirit’s guidance? This episode explores why God’s Word must remain our True North to avoid bias and subjective thinking.

We also break down the hidden dangers of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion)—revealing how the push for diversity often fosters prejudice rather than unity. Plus, we expose the weaponization of empathy, a tactic used to override common sense and personal responsibility. Finally, we dive into a biblical worldview of immigration, challenging emotional narratives with God’s unchanging truth.

In this powerful interview, we dive into the critical issues of our time—unpacking why unity can only be built on truth, not lies. We discuss how the world thrives when America has strong leadership and why good government depends on good people stepping up.

Right now, there's an awakening—but true revival requires the Church to rise and equip believers to be godly citizens who understand the times in which we live. Evil doesn’t rest, and neither can we. Our responsibility isn’t to control outcomes, but to walk in obedience to God’s calling.

We also explore the significance of God's covenant with Israel, the dangers of replacement theology, and the urgent need for biblical clarity in today’s world. This is a conversation that will challenge, inspire, and equip you for the days ahead. Tune in and be part of the movement.

Pastor Sam Masteller counters the Instagram reel that calls for individuals to choose "character over clicks." While the content may sound good on the surface, it does not align with biblical teaching, shepherding and navigating through our present-day cultural revolution. Once again, the guise of love supersedes truth. Christians are called to correct in the public square with courage. Let's not confuse boldness with bullying or humility with silence. We must be the salt and light!

He discusses how society is shifting from a neutral stance on Christianity to a culture increasingly opposed to biblical beliefs.

Whether referred to as "healthcare," "reproductive justice" or "freedom of choice," abortion is not a political issue, it's a spiritual issue -- and the Church is called to respond. One person and one church cannot stop the abortion crisis, but we can save one life at a time when people respond with love for God and love for their neighbor. In this excerpt from the Courage Conference, Sarah Tarnowski shares what love looks like from her experiences in New York City and as a sidewalk counselor at local abortion clinics.

Sarah Tarnowski serves as the Love Life Central PA City Director, working with churches in Lancaster, York & Dauphin Counties to unite and mobilize them for prayer for the unborn, to reach out at local abortion clinics, and to equip them to help mothers with unplanned pregnancies through Love Life’s House of Refuge network. Sarah started doing mission work at a young age and is passionate about equipping the body of Christ to speak Truth into darkness and engaging the younger generation in Kingdom-minded endeavors. Sarah and her husband, Josh, live in Lancaster County with their daughter.
