Does America no longer feel like home? Widespread divorce rates, the erosion of traditional marriage, the popular rise of radical ideologies, attacks on faith, and government interference are only a few of the factors contributing to the struggles of families in our culture. But it doesn't have to be this way. Dr Ben Carson joins us today to give us the facts, inspiration, and theory-to-action answers we need to restore a key foundation of America: the family.

Ostracized. Alone. Disoriented. That’s how Kenza Haddock felt when leaving Islam for Jesus.  She left everything she had ever known.  Sometimes it felt like there was a disconnect between what she knew about faith and how her fellow Christians seem to understand God. Join us to hear her powerful testimony of going from being “lost” to be “found” in Christ.

In this message from 1 Corinthians 7, Pastor J.D. addresses an issue that is as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago—divorce. Broken marriages affect so many of us in the church, and we often fail to apply gospel hope to this painful experience. But the Apostle Paul offers real-world wisdom and gospel hope to those who are divorced, those who have considered divorce, those who have been hurt by divorce. Essentially, to all of us.

Jesus does not suggest that His followers stop worrying—He commands it. In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef teaches from Matthew 6:25–34, exposing anxiety as a spiritual issue rooted in self-reliance and distrust of God’s infallible Word.

Christ, the sovereign Son of God, calls His people to stop fearing tomorrow and rest in the Father’s faithful care. Worry does not add to life; it drains faith, weakens witness, and opens the door to Satan’s attacks. But through repentance, prayer, and daily trust in God’s promises, believers can live free from anxiety.

This episode calls you to:

In a fearful world, the Church must show the peace that belongs only to those who trust Jesus Christ.

Scripture Focus: Matthew 6:25–34

Writer Abigail Geiger and sound designer Zach Schneider explore the making of “The Measure of a Patriot,” and how Odyssey brought the founding era to life with gratitude and perspective.

Inflation has cooled from its recent highs, but for many households, the financial strain has not disappeared. Over the last several years, families have faced rising costs for groceries, insurance, housing, utilities, and other everyday needs. And for many, credit cards became the tool they used to make ends meet.

Neile Simon, a Certified Credit Counselor and Director of Strategic Partnerships at Christian Credit Counselors, joins the show today to share how many families are now carrying the balances they built up during those difficult years. And with credit card interest rates often running between 22% and 30% APR, making real progress can feel almost impossible.

That is where credit counseling can help.

Many households are not dealing with credit card debt because of careless spending. In many cases, families were simply trying to stay afloat. When wages do not keep pace with rising expenses, even a well-intentioned budget can become difficult to maintain.

Then, once balances accumulate, high interest makes repayment feel overwhelming. A family may make payments faithfully each month, only to see most of that money go toward interest rather than reducing the principal.

For some, the pressure has increased further as student loan payments have resumed, placing added strain on budgets already stretched thin.

The result is a cycle that can feel discouraging: payments continue, but the balance barely moves.

One encouraging trend is that financial literacy is growing. More people are becoming proactive in understanding their options, learning how debt works, and seeking responsible ways to repay what they owe.

Online tools and educational resources can be helpful, especially when they explain the difference between debt management and riskier debt settlement programs. But every financial situation is unique. That is why it is wise to talk with a trained counselor who can review your specific circumstances and help you create a plan.

Early action can make a significant difference. The sooner someone seeks guidance, the more options they may have.

Credit counseling is designed to help people break the cycle of high-interest payments and begin making real progress. A reputable credit counseling agency can review your income, expenses, debts, and goals, then help you determine the best path forward.

For many people, that may include a structured debt management plan. Through Christian Credit Counselors, for example, clients may be able to reduce credit card interest rates to between 1% and 12% APR, with rates fixed for the length of the program.

That can make a major difference. Lower interest means more of each payment goes toward reducing the balance. In many cases, monthly payments may also be lowered, creating more breathing room in the budget.

For those who have fallen behind, enrollment in a credit counseling program can also help stop late fees and collection calls. But most importantly, it allows clients to repay their debt responsibly and honor their commitments in full.

At FaithFi, we appreciate credit counseling because it offers a practical and responsible way to address debt without pretending the debt does not matter. The goal is not to avoid responsibility, but to create a wise plan for repayment.

That is one reason we value the work of Christian Credit Counselors. Their approach is not merely transactional. They care for the people they serve, build relationships with clients, pray with them, and seek to ease the stress and strain of credit card debt b

A car can’t go anywhere without an engine. A car better not go anywhere without a steering wheel! A car needs propulsion and direction. You know, so do believers. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how it’s the Spirit of God who provides both. He leads us in the path we should go. And He gives us the spiritual strength to make the journey. You’ve joined us for an encouraging series today called “Refresh: What Every Christian Needs to Know.”
