TODAY’S GUEST: author and U.S. Army Veteran, Fernando Arroyo. A former Paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, Fernando helped create a Veterans Association at Biola University while earning a Masters of Divinity degree. He later worked at the Orange County Rescue Mission as the Veteran Services Case Manager, counseling and serving vets struggling with issues ranging from PTSD, drug addiction, and homelessness. Fernando works as the Veterans Outreach Director at Step Forward Academy helping veterans and their families. His brand new book is called: The Shadow of Death: From My Battles in Fallujah to the Battle for My Soul.

When I returned home from my latest deployment in the U.S. Army, my life began to fall apart. One night, after heavy drinking, I placed my 1911 pistol in my mouth and thought a prayer—silence. I deactivated the safety and began to slowly squeeze the trigger. BANG! I dropped the pistol and I looked around me, but there was no blood. The bang I heard was the Bible on my desk falling and hitting the floor. I fell to my knees and asked God for forgiveness. I surrendered to Jesus Christ and asked him to help me. He answered.

On today’s podcast, David Fiorazo dives into the origins and history behind Halloween including the most demonic elements the Bible calls “abominations.” Still, Christians and other religious people respond very differently to the holiday. Should we ‘participate’ in a festival whose history and practices are for the dead, should we reject and have nothing to do with the celebrations – or something in-between?

David Geisler also narrated a brand new movie about his father’s legacy – Norm Geisler: Not Qualified. Norm Geisler was the influencer behind the influencers of evangelical Christianity in the 20th and early 21st centuries. This movie features over 50 of the many Norm taught, mentored, or influenced, and who lead the church today by following the path he left us.

BOOK: Conversational Evangelism: Connecting with People to Share Jesus by David Geisler and Norman Geisler. The authors share an engaging, conversational approach to evangelism as they address: What makes old models of witnessing ineffective in today’s culture? Why must evangelism start with relational pre-evangelism? How can I ask questions, listen attentively, and understand what someone believes? Ways to identify barriers to belief in order to build a bridge to truth.
