Engaging Truth

This week on The Liberty Alert, join Dr. Gregory Seltz and his guest, Jeanne Mancini, President of the March For Life, Washington D.C. The March for Life is the largest human rights protest in the world, part of a growing “sanctity of life” movement that is rising up again in America, taking on the abortion narrative with a pro-life perspective that is pro-life, pro-woman, pro-child, pro-family, pro-science, pro-fathers and on and on.

The theme of the 50th annual march — which will take place on Jan. 20, 2023 — titled “Next Steps: Marching in a Post-Roe America” refocuses the national pro-life movement to a state-by-state engagement. Featured speakers for this 50th year march are Tony and Lauren Dungy. Listen in for the challenges and opportunities that face the pro-life movement as it seeks to be the blessing for the culture that God intends it to be. Join us!

Dr. Nancy Almodovar, professor of World Religion and Apologetics at Park University, has written a number of books, including “The Accidental Lutheran”. How does one become an accidental Lutheran? Nancy will explain, but more than that, she uncovers a function of us all, and that is “apologetics”. Being able and willing to define and defend our convictions and that Jesus’ death covered all completely, simply because all are sinners and Jesus died for the world full of sinners.

Join her and host Dave Schultz in this provocative discussion.

This week on Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Gregory Seltz and his special guest, Dr. Robert Benne, author of such books as “Paradoxical Vision: A Public Theology for the Twenty-First Century, 1995; Good and Bad Ways to Think about Religion and Politics, 2010, talking 2KG citizenship, voting and biblical principles that guide our public engagement. For Christians, the key is voting for the government to do what it is supposed to do (and make sure they don’t do what they are not supposed to do) and for citizens to do what they are supposed to do. There are fundamental truths that undergird “good” government and help prevent “bad” government.

Listen in for the legal, cultural, and faith perspective on these vital issues….as we continue to grow in the wisdom needed to be 2 Kingdom citizens for the country we love.

Deaconess Tiffany Manor has served in a variety of ways, including in disability ministry and as a volunteer counselor at a pregnancy resource center. One of her favorite things about being a deaconess is walking alongside people during difficult moments and pointing them to the hope found only in Christ. Now, she’s using her skills to speak up and care for the most vulnerable as Director of LCMS Life Ministry.

Join Pastor Doug Krengel as he speaks with Tiffany about the timely mission of this ministry.

Every person brings to the world their unique, God-given gifts and abilities. The book "Bright Valley of Love" (recently reprinted by Concordia Theological Seminary), documents experiences of challenged individuals between WWI and WWII, showing the risk to individual rights in the face of overreach by governments. The book also documents the triumph of faith over difficulty. Discussing the hope-giving message of this book is Prof. Paul Grime. He is the Dean of Spiritual Formation and Dean of the Chapel of Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, IN. Pastor John Cain hosts.

This week on Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, new LCRL “Champions for Liberty Network” director, Rev. Mark Frith, talking Reformation foundations for religious liberty in service to the mission and ministry of the Church. Also, hear about the building and expanding of the “Champion’s Network,” trained 2KG citizens who know how to ‘put their temporal liberties to work in service to the sharing of the eternal freedoms of God in Christ,” protecting the Church’s right and responsibility to proclaim the whole counsel of God in the public square for the sake of all. Hear again the moral, biblical perspective to “speak the truth in love” on the vital issues of the day….as we continue to grow in the 2KG-citizenship-wisdom needed times like these. Join us!

This week on Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his special guest former Illinois legislator, Vice-President and senior counsel of the Thomas Moore Society, Peter Breen who represents Mark Houck who was unjustly arrested by an ever-increasing, politicized FBI. Why was a peaceful, Pro-life activist, father of 7, who was peacefully protesting near an abortion clinic with his 12 year son, who only took action to protect his son when his son being verbally harassed by a 72 year man…..why, now, almost a year later, because of this incident, is he taken into custody by the FBI? Local police brought no charges. Courts dismissed the case that was brought against Mark. Now the FBI has him in custody. Hear the chilling account of a man who is being persecuted right now by our government for merely being a peaceful, pro-life citizen. What does this mean for our religious liberty and the exercise of our faith today in the public square?  Listen as we discuss not only the 1st Amendment freedoms and protections that we have, but why the message that we have needs to be proclaimed for all to hear. Hear again the moral, biblical perspective to “speak the truth in love” on these vital issues….as we continue to grow in the 2KG-citizenship-wisdom needed times like these. Join us!

This week on Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guests, 303 Creative’s Lorie Smith and Alliance Defending Freedom’s Matthew Sharp taking on the State of Colorado’s oppressive “compelled Speech” law that is being used to silence Christians not only in the public square, but even in their own businesses, and worse, compelling them to speak publicly things that violate their conscience. Listen as we discuss not only the 1st Amendment freedoms and protections that we have, but why the message that we have needs to be proclaimed for all to hear. Hear again the moral, biblical perspective to “speak the truth in love” on these vital issues….as we continue to grow in the 2KG-citizenship-wisdom needed times like these. Join us!

Christianity in the U.S. has been formed by our history and by various movements. The problems today's Christian may face with faith institutions is often a result of historical movements that substituted human "answers" for Biblical truth...stepping away from God's authority. For Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller the Bible is God's "Book of Gifts and Promises." Wolfmueller is the pastor of St. Paul Lutheran in Austin, TX, and the author of "Has American Christianity Failed?" God has gifts for you and stands by His promises is the encouraging message by Pastor Wolfmueller. Pastor John Cain hosts.

God has a plan for everyone, a purpose for your life. Your identity is a bringing together of God’s many gifts...in, for and through you. Listen in as co-authors Rev. Jonathan and Christa Petzold explore God-given identity in their recent book, "Male and Female - Embracing Your Role in God’s Design." Pastor John Cain hosts.
