Today we're joined by Suzy Griswold, founder and director of HealingStrong, to talk about her journey from being diagnosed with cancer to finding healing through holistic methods. Suzy shares about her initial reaction to being told doctors had found a tumor and being diagnosed with cancer and about how her body reacted to the traditional treatment at first. We discuss the Gerson therapy protocol, an alternative treatment protocol for cancer, and how Suzy found that these alternative methods of detoxing actually healed her completely. We talk about what she learned about God and his faithfulness throughout her journey and share some alarming cancer statistics that reveal why medical professionals are so invested in cancer drugs.

Today we're joined by D.L. Moody Center President Dr. James Spencer to discuss his book “Christian Resistance: Learning to Defy the World and Follow Christ." We discuss the many distractions of the day pulling our minds and hearts in different directions and how we can reorient ourselves to be in line with God. We look at the examples of Mary and Martha and what we can glean from the story and from how Jesus responds to Martha. We discuss how to know what activities are worthy of our time and what activities constitute distractions and why it's important to eliminate the desire for self-sufficiency. We also talk about our inherent need for imitation and how to correctly channel that, as well as whether busyness is ever glorifying to God. We finish off with some tips for setting ourselves up for success, from eliminating crutches to changing the cadence of our days.

Today we're joined by pediatric ER doctor and founder of Living with Power Ministries Dr. Lina AbuJamra to discuss her book, "Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This: A Christian Doctor's Thoughts on Sex, Shame, and Other Troublesome Issues." We start off with Lina's story of growing up in Lebanon, going to medical school, and her faith journey. She shares how her upbringing shaped her perspective on dating and how a relationship she had placed hope in didn't work out, leading her to feel betrayed by God. We discuss how she fell into the prosperity gospel of sex and marriage and how God redeemed this. Then, did purity culture fail the church? And what does it mean to walk in sexual purity and holiness, whether you're single, married, or engaged? We talk about the shame and stigma or purity and virginity even within the evangelical world and explain why it's more important than ever in our hypersexualized culture to understand that Jesus is worth facing these issues straight on.

Today we're looking again at the story of a Texas mother who is fighting to abort her child, who was diagnosed with a rare chromosomal disorder that is often, though not always, fatal. The debate over this story has blown up, and we give a recap but also double down on the fact that we should not have empathy for this woman's decision to kill her child. Then we take another look at Rob Reiner's documentary on Christian nationalism and the "threat" we face from it. We explain why there is simply no comparison between the looming threat of the progressive agenda versus the few people who have extreme "Christian nationalist" views. Then, Producer Bri joins to talk Christmas music hot takes.

Today we're talking about a few hot topics, starting with a Texas mother who is fighting to abort her child, who was diagnosed with a rare chromosomal disorder that is often, though not always, fatal. A Texas judge initially granted her the ability to kill her child, but the Texas Supreme Court halted the order, barring her from aborting. We explain why we don't have empathy for her decision to cross state lines to abort her baby and why toxic empathy is a detriment to society. Then, we discuss Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams, who famously joked about their babies having barcodes after they posted a photo of their twin boys born via surrogacy this week. We also look at the plagiarism accusations against Harvard president Claudine Gay and a rare win for the Cut after the outlet published an article arguing for people to have kids despite the "doom" of climate change.

Today we're joined by frontman of the band Skillet, John Cooper, to discuss his book, "Wimpy, Weak & Woke: How Truth Can Save America from Utopian Destruction," the bogeyman of "Christian nationalism" that the Left continues to perpetuate, and how we as believers should approach the war against true Christianity and the West. We start off with a look at the Christian leaders who led people astray during COVID lockdowns and BLM and the destruction that critical theory has wrought on Christianity as a whole. We talk about the anti-Christian and anti-Western movement and discuss why progressive Christians who claim to have the right intentions but disregard outcomes aren't actually being loving at all. Then, we look at the upcoming documentary on Christian nationalism featuring Russell Moore and David French and why the implications the film seems to make about conservative Christians are not only misguided but dangerous. We also talk about how the progressive view of "Utopia" is actually the opposite of the kingdom of heaven.

Today we're joined by Olivia Maurel, who was born via surrogacy but didn't find out until much later in life. Today, she speaks out against surrogacy in all forms, claiming that there is no such thing as good surrogacy, and she shares her story with us, beginning with how she first found out the truth about her birth. She explains that she always intrinsically knew something was off, and when she came across surrogacy centers in Kentucky, where she was born, she put the pieces together. She shares her journey of struggling to find a maternal bond growing up, as well as the mental health issues she never knew were actually passed down from her biological mother, and feeling that there is a price tag on her life. We discuss the many reasons one should be opposed to surrogacy, regardless of political affiliation, and explain why despite the trauma of her experience, God is using her to reveal the truth about this sensitive topic. We also give a recap on last night's Republican primary debate and a few viral moments that came out of it.

Today we're talking about the trend going around on social media of people calling themselves "DINKs" ("dual income no kids"), a nickname for married couples with no children. We look at the video that started the online discussion, which features a couple bragging about how they're able to go out to eat every night and never need to hire babysitters. We explain why this philosophy of glorifying childlessness is so hollow. We discuss how while there is nothing wrong with enjoying life before having children, the insistence that having children is a burden is so misguided. Then, we discuss a gay couple who candidly spoke about their criteria for picking a woman to hire as a surrogate and why this further perpetuates the objectification of women that is at the core of surrogacy. We also react to National Women's Law Center CEO Fatima Goss Graves not knowing what a woman is and presidential candidate Nikki Haley saying we shouldn't regulate child transitions.

Today we're talking about the Biden Administration's war on Christian families, this time when it comes to foster care. The Department of Health and Human Services has proposed a rule that would prevent states from using child adoption agencies, most of them faith-based, that do not promote the LGBTQ ideology for children. We discuss why this is actually going to result in more kids in the system as Christians are such a large population of foster parents and adoptive parents. We also give a recap on an Oregon mom who was suing the State of Oregon after they said she couldn't adopt due to her rejection of LGBTQ ideology. Then, why do millennials feel abandoned by their parents, and how do we feel about kicking kids out of the house at 18? We also discuss if college is worth it, and run through some Gen Z lingo.
