Our society has neglected to raise boys to be great men. Modern culture has abandoned traditional rites of passage that demand a departure from boyhood and a transition into manhood. This stark reality is a problem that Alan Hahn not only observed but is addressing right now with a special ministry aimed at forging purpose and a brotherhood for boys. Boys, who are eagerly learning to become men of God. Alan is the CEO and founder of Iron Academy, a school that provides curriculum, community, and training for young men who seek courage, conviction, and honor rooted in the Word of God. Iron Academy is a Bible-based pathway for cultivating healthy, nurturing, and powerful manhood the way that God designed it.

It’s Witness Wednesday! A sharp history student, Cole, wrestles with the resurrection, truth, and his own conscience—then a Hebrew Roots believer named Carlos questions Easter, church tradition, and the name “Jesus.”
Segment 1
• A thoughtful agnostic history major explores the reliability of Scripture and the resurrection.
• Todd walks him through manuscript evidence and eyewitness testimony.
• Can Christianity stand the test of history?
Segment 2
• The conversation turns from intellect to conscience—lying, lust, blasphemy, and guilt before God.
• Justice and mercy collide at the cross as Todd explains how forgiveness is possible.
• Will Cole see his need for grace?
Segment 3
• The tension rises: evidence vs. surrender.
• Todd reminds Cole that the Christian faith is intellectual, but it’s not JUST intellectual.
• Todd urges Cole to respond before it’s too late.
Segment 4
• A self-described believer rejects “Easter,” insists on “Yeshua,” and blends Hebrew roots with Christian faith.
• Todd probes what’s behind the name debate and where saving faith truly rests.
• Can focusing on details make us miss the gospel itself?

Tim and Mary Danielsen take a look at the current news cycle, which, as always it seems, moves forward to a specific end more and more. It’s easy to just be detached because the news is uniquely bad; but do we stand back often enough to see the big picture? Everything is moving toward a prophesied end and that gets more obvious by the day. And that it is going there guided by the Hand of History should never be taken for granted by us mere earthlings. Yeah, Communism is bad; it has never succeeded; and it will enslave us as sure as the digital dollar. But the real story should probably be the one about Islam which will also enslave us and cost us our head if we stand firm. American voters think that what’s best for us is always something different, but history shows that is a very dangerous mindset. According to FOX, Gen Z voted for Trump and Mamdani for the same reason: change. The level of shortsightedness here is astounding. We also talk about Kristallnacht, Yad Vashem (Holocaust museum in Israel) and more.
