This hour, we open the phone lines so that you can ask Dr. Karl Payne any questions you have on the topic of spiritual warfare. We will tackle questions like: Can demons read our minds? Is a crucifix needed for an exorcism? Does casting out a demon require a professional exorcist? Learn to separate biblical Truth from Hollywood’s made-up ‘theology’ on the very real subject of spiritual warfare.

The enemy rarely announces his intentions. Dr. Tony Evans reveals some of Satan’s most common strategies and explains how believers can avoid being caught off guard.

Not all wisdom comes from God. In this urgent message from James 3, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the difference between worldly wisdom and wisdom from above.

Worldly wisdom may sound impressive, but Scripture calls it selfish, bitter, and demonic. It fuels envy, pride, division, and destruction. But godly wisdom is different. It is not manufactured by intelligence or experience—it is received from God by those who ask in faith.

Wisdom from above is:

This episode calls believers to reject self-centered living, repent of bitter jealousy and selfish ambition, and seek the mind of Christ daily. When God’s wisdom rules the heart, believers walk in unity, speak with grace, and live as witnesses to the Truth of the Gospel.

When God’s people respond with generosity, real lives are changed—and doors open for hope that lasts.

That has been the story behind FaithFi’s partnership with Heart for Lebanon, a ministry serving families displaced by the ongoing crisis in Lebanon. On today’s show, we welcomed May-Lee Melki, U.S. Managing Director of Heart for Lebanon, to share what God has already made possible through the generosity of FaithFi listeners—and why the need remains urgent.

Over the past few months, May-Lee and her father, Camille, have helped listeners understand the tremendous challenges facing families in Lebanon. The war has displaced thousands, placed communities under severe strain, and left many families carrying emotional, physical, and spiritual burdens.

While there have been temporary pauses in the fighting, May-Lee explained that a ceasefire has not meant true peace for many families.

“Families are beginning to experience different effects of the ongoing war, instability, and repeated disruption,” she said. “There’s a lot of fear, and there’s a lot of uncertainty.”

Many are still facing food insecurity, damaged infrastructure, interrupted livelihoods, and the constant fear that conditions could worsen without warning.

FaithFi listeners originally set out to help 275 displaced families in Lebanon. By God’s grace, that goal has now been met.

Those 275 families represent more than 1,000 individuals receiving life-sustaining support through Heart for Lebanon. That support includes food, mattresses, blankets, hygiene kits, diapers for adults and children, and care for newborns entering a world marked by war and uncertainty.

But the impact goes beyond supplies.

May-Lee shared the story of Ibrahim, a six-year-old boy whose family had to flee in the middle of the night as violence intensified. His parents carried their children and ran into the unknown, unsure where help would come from.

Through the generosity of Faith and Finance listeners and the ministry of Heart for Lebanon, Ibrahim’s family received practical care and ongoing support. His mother later told the team, “Please don’t stop your children’s activities, even throughout the war.”

Ibrahim’s favorite Bible story is Jesus feeding the 5,000. For him, that story has become deeply personal. He told the team, “Jesus loves us, and I know He will not let us go hungry.”

That is more than humanitarian aid. It is a picture of God’s provision working through His people.

Heart for Lebanon’s ministry begins by meeting urgent physical needs wherever families are—whether in shelters, makeshift tent settlements, or other temporary spaces. Food, bedding, and hygiene supplies help families survive while preserving their dignity.

But the ministry does not stop there.

May-Lee emphasized that Heart for Lebanon is not simply dropping off supplies and leaving. Their team is present for the long haul, walking with families through an open-ended season of displacement and uncertainty.

That consistent presence creates trust. And trust opens the door to deeper conversations about faith, hope, and the love of Christ.

May-Lee shared the story of Najwa, a woman who first came to Heart for Lebanon looking for food for her family. Over time, through relationships with the team, she found something she had not expected.

She said her heart had been longing for a kind of spiritual nourishment she did not even know existed. Through the

Why do your kids trigger reactions you swore you'd never repeat? On FamilyLife Today, Dave and Ann Wilson welcome back Peter Mutabazi for a truthful conversation about parenting wounds, trauma, and staying calm when emotions explode. Peter shares practical wisdom from raising more than 40 foster children—including why safety, listening, and yeah, even ice cream sometimes matter more than lectures when kids are melting down.
