In this midweek podcast episode, Frank continues his conversation with high-risk humanitarian Victor Marx and takes listeners on a raw and unscripted journey through several of his latest missions to save women and children from the real-life horrors of sex trafficking. From a tiny village in Cambodia to a church parking lot in Colorado Springs, the manifestation of evil knows no bounds. Even so, God's forgiveness and love is powerful enough to cover a world of sin and shame, and His standard of goodness is the only way we can recognize these acts of evil in the first place!
Feel free to jump right in or listen as a follow-up to the previous episode. Either way, we pray you will support Victor in his mission to help more women and children find hope and healing in the power of a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Were Harrison Butker’s bold statements during his recent Benedictine College commencement speech (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JS7RIKSaCc) worth all of the public backlash he received in response? Although many are now hailing the Super Bowl winning NFL kicker as a hero for speaking up, others are calling for him to be fired from the league altogether.

What Harrison Butker and Football Teach Us About Right and Wrong



Were Harrison Butker's bold statements during his recent Benedictine College commencement speech worth all of the public backlash he received in response? Although many are now hailing the Super Bowl winning NFL kicker as a hero for speaking up, others are calling for him to be fired from the league altogether. What exactly did he say that caused so much outrage and what biblical truths can we gather from the controversial (and now viral) speech?

For this midweek podcast, Frank unpacks Harrison Butker's words from a biblical worldview and highlights how Butker called out some of the lies, harmful ideologies, and inconsistencies that our culture and national leaders have been feeding us. During this podcast episode, Frank will answer questions like:

 	Does the book of James teach salvation by works?
 	What does the game of football teach us about morality?
 	Do Christians always have to be "nice" in order to be loving?
 	Did Jesus ever engage in politics?
 	How is Joe Biden "neglecting the weightier matters of the law"?
 	Are biblical gender roles oppressive to women?
 	Is comfort the true meaning of life?
 	What are the pros and cons of becoming a Christian?

 

Later in the episode, Frank will share his own personal experience of being canceled in corporate America due to writing his book 'Correct, Not Politically Correct: About Same-Sex Marriage and Transgenderism' and how it launched him into ministry full-time. He'll also talk about the importance of being willing to speak up (like Butker) as a means to fight back against cancel culture and to illustrate TRUE love, even if it comes at a cost.

Why do your kids believe what they believe about the world and the purpose of life? Are you equipping them to make good decisions now and in the future when you're no longer there to protect them? Will their knowledge of truth, logic, and God's Word ultimately prevail against the conflicting (and sometimes hidden) messages they might hear from friends, teachers, and TikTok?

If you're a Christian parent, these are the questions that keep you up at night, but have no fear--the great Shanda Fulbright is here! As a mom, former California public school teacher, and certified apologist, Shanda is no stranger to the challenges Christian parents face during these crazy cultural times. In this week's podcast episode, Shanda and Frank discuss the subtle ways that secular society is indoctrinating or "discipling" today's youth with destructive and even anti-Christian ideologies. During their discussion, Frank and Shanda will answer questions like:

 	What made Shanda question her faith as a 17-year old raised in the Church and what helped her overcome her doubts?
 	What are the 3 key characteristics of "discipleship" and how is it more than just a religious term?
 	What are 3 ways that the public school system is strategically discipling K-12 students?
 	How did Shanda react when a teacher shared a book about transgender ideology with her son's class?
 	What do the statistics show about faith in God among America's youth and their parents and what does that mean for the Church?
 	What are Shanda's top 3 tips for parents who want to be more intentional about discipling their kids?

Parents and other caregivers--consider this your wake-up call! The reality is that your kids are being discipled by someone or some thing. If you don't disciple them with THE truth, who will? We know you'll benefit from this week's podcast episode, and as a follow-up, consider enrolling your middle-school student in one of Shanda's self-paced courses this summer, or join Shanda LIVE in her 'Train Your Brain: An Introduction to Logic' PREMIUM course this fall!

Who Is Living Inside Your Kid’s Head? | with Shanda Fulbright

You love your pastor, but why won't he address crucial cultural, moral, or political issues from the pulpit? Is there anything that you or your church can do about it? Furthermore, what risks lie ahead for faithful pastors who do actually speak out against the culture and rightly stand up for the truth of God's Word?

For this midweek podcast episode, pro-life advocate and political leader, Tony Perkins, returns to talk more about the need for Christians and pastors to engage in political issues, and to defend the biblical worldview in the public square. If your pastor or your church seems totally disengaged from the political world, how can you inspire a change of heart? Why do so many pastors choose to remain quiet on culturally taboo issues like the right to life and natural marriage? And what resources are available for those who want to lead the charge and equip people in the church on where the candidates and parties stand on the most important issues? Frank and Tony will discuss all of this and MUCH more in the conclusion of their talk on faith and politics!
