Hello Fred!

If you know someone who questions the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, it may be that they don’t have all the facts. In this fascinating message, former atheist Lee Strobel shares his story of coming to faith after years of study, and then examines extra-biblical evidence that proves three key points: Jesus was truly dead on the cross, the tomb was really empty, and hundreds of people interacted with Jesus after Resurrection Sunday!

The scariest part of America’s debt problem is how easy it is to ignore until it’s too late. We sit down with Kevin Freeman from Economic War Room as he delivers a rapid-fire briefing on what the numbers actually mean: a debt trajectory that cannot last, interest costs that threaten to consume tax revenue, and a system that keeps reaching for the same “solution” of borrowing and money creation. If you have ever felt your eyes glaze over at economic talk, this one is built to snap things into focus with plain language, memorable examples, and real-world stakes.

Kevin also pulls back the curtain on economic warfare and why global rivals want the US dollar to lose trust. We connect the dots between BRICS pressure, central banks accumulating gold, and the long-term risk of America financing itself at low cost. Then we go where the debate is headed next: central bank digital currency (CBDC). Programmable digital money can mean surveillance and control over how people spend, which raises serious questions for anyone who values privacy, free markets, and constitutional limits.

We close with a practical path forward that does not require waiting on Washington. Kevin explains the constitutional argument for states enabling transactions in gold and silver alongside the dollar, plus a legislative framework focused on trust standards, tax relief, and protections against government overreach. We add a biblical perspective on debt, stewardship, and leaving a better inheritance, and we challenge ourselves to stay engaged in elections and local leadership.

Today's Bible verse: 1 Corinthians 2:16

Life seems to be moving faster and faster, so it requires intentionality to slow down. Jennifer Dukes Lee ran so hard that she reached a breaking point, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. She and her husband decided to leave the hurry sickness behind and go back to farm life, where they could learn a different pace and discover a deeper relationship with God and family through the seasons of life. In this discussion, Jennifer will help you “grow slower” to refresh your mind, body, and soul.

PLUS - Jonathon Saenz gives us updates on SCOTUS opinions and hearings and Austin ISD cancels Good Friday.

A stranger climbs a billboard and changes four words into three, turning “Jesus is not God” into the exact opposite. That headline grabs attention, but what we really want to know is what comes next: is bold public action wise, does it help the gospel, and what does it reveal about the spiritual battle for the public square?

We sit down with evangelist Ray Comfort of Living Waters to talk about courage, restraint, and the difference between being provocative and being effective. Ray shares his own billboard story, then goes deeper into a problem many churches quietly live with: people who claim Christ but show little spiritual fruit. We wrestle with discernment, distraction, and why a comfort-first message can create shallow faith that collapses under pressure. Along the way, we revisit Ray’s core evangelism approach: using the Ten Commandments and the moral law to wake up a sleeping conscience, not to win arguments but to bring people to repentance and real trust in Jesus.

We also hit practical takeaways for leaders: why pastors benefit from seeing faith and history inside the US Capitol, how biblical worldview connects to government, and how creative outreach tools like Living Waters “gold coins” aim to start gospel conversations in everyday life. If you care about evangelism, discipleship, Christian living, and religious liberty in a noisy culture, this conversation will sharpen you. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with the biggest takeaway you want the Church to recover.
