There are times when life can get so stormy we wonder if we’ll make it through. Dr. Tony Evans explains how there is a power available that is greater than any storm we face.

History gets rewritten the same way money gets devalued: slowly, then all at once. From a hallway conversation in Boston to a deep dive on gold and inflation, we follow the thread that connects cultural narratives, civic education, and what families can actually afford when the dollar keeps losing purchasing power. We also talk about why verifying claims is often embarrassingly easy, yet still ignored, and why that’s one reason we keep telling the “honest story” of America.

Then we sit down with Kevin Freeman, host of Economic War Room and author of Pirate Money, to tackle a topic most pastors never hear in seminary but the Bible speaks to directly: honest weights and measures. Kevin explains why fiat currency is easy to manipulate, how inflation quietly transfers wealth, and why gold and silver have served as money from Genesis to Revelation. We break down what money is supposed to do and why the dollar struggles as a store of value over time.

The conversation turns practical and timely with the rise of transactional gold. We explore how states can move under Article 1, Section 10, what it looks like to store vaulted gold and spend against it, and why this could “democratize” access to sound money beyond people who can afford large bars. If you’re looking for a biblical perspective on economics, a constitutional view of money, and real steps that can help protect your family from inflation, this one will stretch your thinking.

If you've ever scrolled through your news feed or watched the headlines, you might feel like the world is in a constant state of crisis. Where is hope today?

When you lose sight of eternity, it’s only a matter of time before you lose your way.

Sometimes, the hardest battles teens face happen silently — loneliness, insecurity and the pressure to escape pain. On this episode, Mark sits down with two Heartlight residents who share how changing their environments — and the people around them — helped them break free from destructive cycles. Both teens describe being swept up in drug use as a way to cope with things they couldn’t change at home, but found hope through new relationships and honest conversations in a supportive community.

You really like your kids (most of the time). But the backtalk, crunchy kitchen floor, and nonstop "Mom!" can find you crying in the pantry. This raw Mother’s Day panel with Ann Wilson and other moms goes where most won’t—lost kids, short fuses, quiet guilt. It’s honest, unfiltered, and aimed straight at the overwhelmed mom wondering if she’s the only one muscling through every. Day.
