TODAY’S GUEST: Chad Davidson of Good Fight Ministries and 511 News. Chad is an elder at Blessed Hope Chapel in Simi Valley, CA, serving under Pastor Joe Schimmel. He’s been a youth ministry leader since 2012. Chad’s faith in the Lord came as a result of viewing Pastor Joe’s DVD titled They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll. Chad is also the Director of Social Media at Good Fight Ministries and host of The Good Fight Radio Show available on all podcast platforms & YouTube. Chad has been happily married to his wife, Holly, since 2012. They have four children, Eli, Justus, Ariella, and Galilee.

God transformed Chad Davidson’s life and brought him to Good Fight Ministries, and today, we discuss the wickedness and satanic influence of many of today’s entertainers and celebrities. More concerning is their continued, dark influence on culture and the church.

In 2020, Good Fight Ministries launched a brand new 24/7 streaming radio station: The Good Fight Radio Network. All teachers and guests are known for sound doctrine, their biblically-based teachings, and bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and theological expertise to this network.

Pastor Tim has a strong desire to WIN people for Jesus (Acts 4:12), help them in their growth as a DISCIPLE of Jesus (Hebrews 4:12), and SEND them out to continue the work of the Gospel (Ephesians 4:12).  That mission focus is well evident in all aspects of his ministry.

We look at problems and solutions regarding the comfortable, slumbering American church and what we learned from 2020. Many Christians have not been equipped by their pastors, and we have generally not impacted our culture and country for Christ. But more people are waking up and some remnant followers of Jesus Christ are finally mobilizing, striving to live bold, biblical lives.

We Will Not Be Silenced: Responding Courageously to Our Culture’s Assault on Christianity by Dr. Erwin Lutzer

“If I could, I would put this book into the hands of every Christian in America.”

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).

Each day, you watch America turn further from Christian values and the core principles of liberty. It’s frustrating to feel you can’t assert biblical truth without facing condemnation, and fearful to witness outrage and victimhood replace respect and reason. Amidst this dissent, how can you not only stay rooted in your own faith, but continue publicly testifying for Jesus?

In We Will Not Be Silenced, Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer prepares you to live out your convictions against a growing tide of hostility. Gain a better understanding of nonbelievers’ legitimate hurts and concerns regarding issues like racism, sexism, and poverty—and identify the toxic responses secular culture disguises as solutions. In the process, you’ll see how you can show compassion and gentleness to those outside of the faith without affirming their beliefs.

We Will Not Be Silenced will ready you to move beyond fear and boldly accept the challenge of representing Christ to a watching world that needs Him now more than ever before.

Daniel Weiss is a writer, speaker, and visionary — passionate about tackling tough questions about sexual identity with depth and compassion. He has spent more than a decade helping church and community leaders, educators and policy makers address complex situations surrounding sexual brokenness with hope and life-giving truth. Daniel was a senior analyst for media and sexuality and social issues manager with Focus on the Family for nine years, and was also featured in the documentary, The Heart of the Matter: Finding Light in the Darkness of Pornography Addiction.

Josh Glaser is the Executive Director of Regeneration, a Christ-centered ministry that helps men, women, and families to learn and live God’s good, holy, and beautiful design for sexuality. Josh is the author of Rescue, a year-round discipleship program for men seeking a deeper intimacy with Jesus as their Source of freedom from sexual sin.

“Pornography impacts every family, but many parents don’t know what to do. Treading Boldly Through a Pornographic World uses solid research, biblical truth, and Christ-like compassion to help parents guide their kids through one of the greatest threats of this age.” Josh McDowell

Treading Boldly through a Pornographic World: A Field Guide for Parents

Parents today are the first generation to raise kids in a digitally connected, porn-saturated world. Porn can be accessed in locker rooms, cafeterias, classrooms, and bedrooms—anywhere kids have access to digital devices. Worse yet, pornography that was once considered fringe has become mainstream. All this is misshaping children’s understanding of sexuality, stunting their capacity to process emotions, and crippling their ability to form long-term relationships. The authors combine the latest research with personal and professional experience to guide families into the goodness for which God created us all, and outline the steps necessary for parents to move beyond merely surviving pornography’s challenges.

Awake: America’s Final Great Awakening

In the wake of the 2020 covid-19 pandemic, God reached out of eternity and woke up the Church. As the months went by, and the Church’s awareness increased, congregations around the nation had to respond to the oppression God used to wake them from their slumber. Much of the Church responded in the likeness of the world, even though they were called to come out from among the world and be separate; be different. One thing is certain, going back to sleep, or sticking their heads back in the proverbial sand is not an option. In this timely book, Pastor Tim Thompson offers a biblical response to the covid-19 pandemic, and a solution for how the collective Church can shrewdly move forward and address the culture of America in what he calls ‘The Final Great Awakening’ in America.

TODAY’S GUEST: Pastor Kevin Minske of Christ the Rock Community Church in DePere, Wisconsin, a non-denominational Christian church near Green Bay. Kevin strongly believes in verse by verse teachings through the Bible (currently in Revelation) and stresses the importance of addressing cultural and political issues while exposing evil and preaching the gospel in season and out of season (2 Tim. 4:1-2).

We discuss modern church effectiveness and methodology, why many American evangelical churches operate more like a business than a ministry. Pastors resemble CEOs rather than watchmen, shepherds, and evangelists. Why? We look briefly at Rick Warren and the seeker-sensitive church growth movement and some of its fruit, as well as a few recent headlines.

And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many crowns; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. 13 He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. 15 From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. 16 And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written: “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” Revelation 19:11-16
