On this extended edition of Kingdom & Country, Rick Robinson tackles a question often asked by skeptics and quietly carried by grieving believers: If Christians believe in heaven, why do they cry at funerals?

Drawing from Scripture, personal loss, and recent experiences with multiple funerals, Rick walks through the biblical truth that Christian grief is not unbelief. Paul does not tell believers not to grieve; he tells them not to grieve as those without hope. Jesus Himself wept at the tomb of Lazarus, even knowing resurrection was moments away. Death is still an enemy, love still hurts when separated, and faith in heaven does not erase grief — it gives grief somewhere to go.

This episode explores grief, hope, heaven, resurrection, the comfort of Christ, and the promise that one day God Himself will wipe away every tear. Christian tears are not proof that heaven is fake. They are proof that love was real. And Christian hope is proof that death does not get the final word.

Was Jesus a socialist? On this episode of Kingdom & Country, Rick Robinson examines what Scripture actually says about charity, property, government, money, justice, and the Kingdom of God.

Jesus commanded generosity, warned the rich, defended the poor, confronted greed, and called His followers to care for their neighbors — but He did not preach political salvation or government as savior. From Zacchaeus and the rich young ruler to Acts 2, Acts 5, and Caesar’s coin, this episode asks a deeper question: not whether Jesus fits our politics, but whether our politics, our wallets, our churches, and our hearts have bowed before Him.

Memorial Day reminds us that peace is never cheap. Tonight on Kingdom & Country, Rick Robinson looks at Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:9 — ‘Blessed are the peacemakers’ — and the difference between real biblical peace and the false peace that simply avoids conflict at any cost.

We’ll honor the fallen, reflect on the cost of sacrifice, and ask what it means to make peace God’s way: with truth, courage, restraint, mercy, and righteousness.
Kingdom & Country — faith, Scripture, and country under the Lordship of Christ.

Kingdom & Country 04-19-26 When Gain Becomes God

Tonight on Kingdom & Country, we take a hard look at one of the most misunderstood warnings in Scripture: the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. This is not a message against honest wealth or faithful stewardship. It is a message about what happens when gain becomes a god — when truth, trust, justice, and even ministry become negotiable in pursuit of money, power, influence, or self-preservation.

 From fraud and corruption to public hypocrisy and moral compromise, we’ll walk through what Scripture reveals about the spirit behind it all — and what faithfulness looks like in an age where nearly everything seems to have a price.

What if the greatest danger to the church isn’t persecution… but deception? Jesus warned that wolves would come in sheep’s clothing.

Paul warned about a different gospel. And believers were commanded to test every spirit.

Tonight, we talk about discernment — the truth we don’t want to see.

No man knows the day or the time, none save my Father -- And yet we as humans believe we see the Antichrist and the looming end times around every corner.

This extended special addition is dedicated to some of the most popular guesses. Are they right? tune in to see.

Tonight on Kingdom & Country, we present a powerful and deeply personal special:
“Stained Glass: Beauty Through the Breaking.”

In this unforgettable episode, @KLRNRadio’s very own @BumpstockBarbie shares her raw testimony of trauma, survival, generational redemption, and the God who gathers shattered pieces instead of discarding them.

From abuse and silence to restoration and covenant love, this is a story of broken beginnings that did not determine the final design. Through Scripture, honest conversation, and a reminder that no fracture is beyond His reach, we explore what it truly means for God to exchange beauty for ashes.

If you’ve ever felt like scattered glass… this episode is for you.

What happens when we start using Scripture to defend our opinions instead of allowing it to shape our hearts?

In tonight’s Kingdom & Country Bible Study, we tackle one of the most common modern distortions of faith — selective Christianity. From claims that “Jesus was a socialist” to verses often cited in debates about immigration and governance, we take a careful look at what the Bible actually says… in context.

This isn’t about left or right.
It’s about obedience over ideology.

It’s about letting the whole counsel of God speak — not just the parts that feel comfortable. We’ll explore: • The early church and voluntary generosity

• Compassion and order in Scripture
• The difference between mercy and policy
• And the deeper issue at the center of it all — the human heart If we’re honest, we all approach the table of Scripture with preferences.

The question is: are we picking and choosing… or are we submitting and growing? Join us as we seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.
