Katie Souza claims to be a Christian but has some strange ideas, to say the least, that she is sharing online. From believing in mermaids and werewolves, to connecting aliens and hybrid children to the nephilim in the Bible, Katie has very sensational and occult-like opinions. Allie discusses Katie’s absurd stories that appeal to secret knowledge about the spiritual world and looks at how sensational ideas can work their way into Christian circles because they are interesting, despite not being found in Scripture. She also looks at how Scripture warns believers to not listen to teachers for entertainment value but for substance and truth.

With rising prices and an uncertain economy often in the news, it’s easy for families to feel stressed about money. In fact, after surveying nearly 4,000 women, Crystal Paine discovered that nearly all of them admitted to having some level of fear about their money or financial future. Crystal is no stranger to this stress. Early in her marriage to Jesse, they struggled to pay the bills after job opportunities fell through, leaving them scrabbling to provide for themselves and their two young kids. Through careful money habits and decisions, they moved from scraping by to thriving, establishing foundational habits that helped them from those early days until now. In this interview, she will help listeners with practical advice for getting a handle on their money, such as decide on financial priorities, predetermine spending, create accountability and stop paying full price.

Jase draws the line when his grandson takes a practical joke too far, prompting Zach to confess his own outrageous pranks and a particularly twisted stunt from his past. Al recounts his Aunt Jan’s prophecy about Jase and Missy's marriage years before it happened, then the guys turn to the disturbing story of Lot and Sodom and Gomorrah. Zach argues that the sexual revolution has reached a dark turning point, challenging modern ideas about identity, freedom and the human body. The guys connect ancient biblical warnings to today's culture and examine why God's boundaries are meant to protect us rather than restrict us.

We can make two mistakes when it comes to the afterlife. Some people think hell won’t be too bad. They joke that all their friends will be there – they’ll just party all the time. There won’t be any parties there. The other mistake we can make is thinking heaven isn’t all that good . . . especially if you don’t play the harp. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see what’s really waiting for believers. We’ll learn about the abundant life in the here and now, and eternal life in the hereafter.
