In Eternal Benefits, Dr. Michael Youssef opens the six-part Empowered by Praise series with a deeply personal testimony, calling believers to examine the spiritual condition of their hearts through the lens of praise. Drawing from Matthew 12:34 and Psalm 22:3, Dr. Youssef declares that praise is not optional—it is essential fuel for victory, intimacy with Christ, and spiritual power. He outlines four divine truths: Praise reveals our true spiritual state, refocuses our destiny, reestablishes God’s reign, and reinforces our relationship with Him. The call is urgent: begin each day praising the Name, character, and mercy of God, and watch the Holy Spirit ignite victorious living. Praise is not a feeling—it is an act of faith and obedience that draws God’s sovereign rule into our lives. Let us rise each morning with praise on our lips, inviting Christ to reign over our hearts, homes, and witness. The time is now.

Rebecca McLaughlin joins us to look at some of the most common arguments used to claim that the Bible affirms same-sex relationships. She will analyze the arguments and associated Bible passages to uncover what the Bible really says. But rather than concluding that the Bible does affirm same-sex marriage, she will point us to the purpose of male-female marriage, a different kind of gospel-centered love between believers of the same sex, and God's life-and-love-filled vision for singleness.

Not every message that sounds spiritual comes from God. In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes how Satan deceives the Church through counterfeit gospels—false teachings that weaken the authority of Scripture, deny Christ’s Lordship, and lead souls away from salvation.

Dr. Youssef warns against the lies that say all truth is equal, Biblical conviction is hateful, history can be rewritten, and believers should stay silent. But Scripture is clear: God’s Word is inerrant, Jesus Christ is fully God, and salvation is found in Him alone.

This episode calls every listener to:

In a confused age, the Church must not retreat. We must speak clearly, live faithfully, and proclaim Christ alone.

Scripture Focus: Galatians 1:6–9; John 14:6; Acts 20:29-31

 If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone.

It’s hard to believe, but the back-to-school season is almost here. For many families, that means new schedules, new supplies, new clothes, and plenty of new expenses.

But the start of a school year doesn’t have to bring financial stress or household chaos. With a little planning, wise budgeting, and prayerful preparation, families can begin the year with greater peace and purpose.

Crystal Paine, Creator of MoneySavingMom.com and the author of The Time-Saving Mom: How to Juggle a Lot, Enjoy Your Life, and Accomplish What Matters Most. As families prepare for another school year, she offers practical advice for saving money, involving your children, creating better routines, and staying spiritually grounded amid the busyness.

Back-to-school shopping can get expensive quickly. Between clothes, shoes, backpacks, lunch boxes, crayons, uniforms, and technology, it’s easy to feel like everything needs to be purchased at once.

There will always be more you could buy, but the better question is, “What do we actually need?” Before heading to the store or filling an online cart, take inventory of what you already have. Then compare that with the school supply list and your family’s budget.

For families with older children, this can also become a valuable teaching opportunity. Crystal recommends involving teens in the process by giving them a specific back-to-school budget for clothing or supplies. Then they are responsible for deciding what they need, what they want, and how to stay within that amount.

Sometimes, they may decide to use some of their own money to buy an extra item. That can be a good thing. It helps them learn that money is limited, that choices have trade-offs, and that budgeting requires wisdom.

Another way to save time and money is to find out whether your school offers a pre-packaged supply option.

Some schools or parent organizations offer supply kits that include everything your child needs for the year. While it may not always be the least expensive option, it’s worth comparing. In some cases, buying the package can save money and certainly save time.

Instead of driving from store to store searching for specific folders, notebooks, and pencils, you can purchase one package and be done.

Crystal also recommends watching for back-to-school deals on supplies, clothing, uniforms, backpacks, lunch boxes, and even laptops. Her site, MoneySavingMom.com, regularly shares deals that can help families stretch their dollars further.

Many states offer tax-free weekends before the school year begins. These can be a helpful way to save on items you were already planning to buy.

The key is to prepare before the weekend arrives.

Start by checking whether your state offers a tax-free weekend, when it takes place, and which items are included. Every state has different rules. Some include clothing and school supplies, while others may include electronics, computers, or even certain household items.

Once you know what qualifies, review your budget. Then decide which purchases make sense for your family.

Tax-free weekends can be useful, but they are only a good deal if you are buying things you actu

It’s been said that, when we get to the end of our rope, we get to the beginning of God. A lot of truth in that statement. When we’re out of answers, and short on hope, God opens His supply of reassurance and direction. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie has good insight for those challenging times. We’re glad you’ve joined us for his new series called “Refresh: What Every Christian Needs to Know.” Valuable information for believers who face the challenges of life.
