Our God can calm storms, create storms, part the waters of the Red Sea. He can make time literally stand still, He can raise the dead, and cause the deaf to hear. So what is it that you need today? Glad you’re along for A NEW BEGINNING as Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see nothing is impossible for the Lord. And He invites us to come to Him in prayer. He bids us to “ask, seek, and knock.” And when our petitions intersect with His willingness, big things can happen!

Jase, Al, and Zach weigh in on the 2026 midterm election results, the Democrats' big wins, and what they believe is driving America's growing political divide. Jase shares why he isn't losing sleep over the outcome, while Zach draws on his own experience in politics to discuss government corruption, shifting cultural values, and the dangers of putting too much faith in political leaders. Al recalls Phil's unique approach to hospitality and his hilarious habit of keeping tabs on everything in his refrigerator. The guys turn to Scripture to discuss the role of government, the responsibility of Christians to lead by example, and why God's kingdom remains unshakable no matter who's in power.

Jonny Ardavanis, lead teaching pastor and elder of Stonebridge Bible Church, joins Allie to discuss his new book, "Get to Work: Seeing Your Daily Grind as God’s Good Gift." They explore a biblical perspective on work, ambition, rest, and why work was designed by God before the Fall. Jonny explains how ordinary jobs can become acts of worship, why our identity must be rooted in Christ rather than professional success, and how the growing influence of AI and convenience may affect our sense of purpose and humanity.

"You can serve people you don't actually like"

"You can have a sense of humor and not be funny."

"The culture here is not defensive. It doesn't have to be. That's the kingdom culture."

"There's something about paying attention to people, knowing they appreciate it and then being faithful with it. It's beautiful."

"Because we like to think in terms of power, power, power, power, power, power, power, power. We're obsessed with it."

"We make things happen and we do it a certain way through love, not through contempt, by returning good for evil."

What does it look like to move forward when the world still sees you through the lens of your past? This week, Bob sits down with his dear friends Carl and Laura Lentz for an honest conversation about healing, resilience, and finding the courage to begin again.

With the release of their new book, Overcoming Infidelity, Carl and Laura reflect on their journey of rebuilding, learning to make peace with being misunderstood, and discovering who they are on the other side of life's hardest moments. Together, they explore the power of friendship, the importance of showing up for people without trying to fix them, and why we don't have to wait for someone else's permission to heal.

Whether you're navigating a difficult season or walking alongside someone who is, this conversation is a reminder that we're more than our worst moments, that healing takes courage, and that sometimes the most meaningful thing we can offer someone is simply our presence.
