Equipped with Chris Brooks

Chris is ready to take your calls and questions as he leads us in applying a Biblical worldview to key concerns facing believers today.  Today we go to God on behalf of our nation, asking forgiveness for her offenses against Him, His wisdom for our judges, and His mercy for those who serve Him around the globe.

Several ideologies are sending tidal waves through our society and the lives of our children.  As a result, Christianity is viewed as intolerant, irrelevant, and even oppressive. How did we get here?  Culture scholar Dr. Jim Denson will address this vital question and challenge us to protect our faith and families against the coming cultural tsunami!

It’s been called a lifeboat for forgiven sinners, a family for the lost, and a holy home for the broken. What is it?  The Church – the Body of Christ!  The New Year is the perfect time to refresh your commitment to a local church.  Discover how wonderful the church should be as Sam Allberry and Chris Brooks outline what the church is, why we need it, and why its time is now!

Where is your hope?  Join Chris as he explores the incredible assurance we have in Jesus and the life-changing impact of a church who embraces her calling in Christ.   Don’t miss this message from First Peter with the truth that can transform our families, our cities, and our world! 

The topic of abortion can stir up emotions from both sides and the facts can get trampled in the discussion. What we need is truth shared with compassion. As tens of thousands gather in our nation’s capital to March for Life today,  we will learn how we can speak love into the hard questions about the right to life.

Chris Brooks wants to know: Are you good with God?  Pastor and hip-hop artist D.A. Horton will help you answer that question as he walks us through the amazing truth of the Gospel and illustrates how we can introduce others to a relationship with God!  Learn to connect your story to God’s story and find the eternal hope we all need.

We know that life gets messy, especially when relationships break down and we feel wounded.  How can we find the way back to forgiveness and reconciliation? Author Wendy Alsip is no stranger to this struggle.  She will share her story and take us into the Scripture for powerful, healing lessons from the life of Joseph.  You can find a way forward to peace, freedom, and fruitfulness.

In these days of racial tension, Christians have the unique ability to advocate for oneness because we serve a Savior who reconciles all things to Himself!  Even the Apostle Paul moved toward this tension - advocating for reconciliation between a slave named Onesimus and his master Philemon. Pastor, author and missions mobilizer Dhati Lewis will help us follow Paul’s example as an advocate for unity.

We all long to see the urban centers of our nation won to Christ but how does the Gospel answer the challenge of false religions and restore dignity?  Pastor Eric Mason joins Chris to discuss the challenges and answers of urban apologetics!
