Focus on the Family Vice President Jennifer Arthur explains what her movie producer job actually looks like, what she brought from her years at Amazon, and why Focus chose to create an animated film. Hear more about the realities of moviemaking, the ministry behind the project, and what will make this movie different from anything else.
Thirty years ago, Joshua Harris became the cheerleader for purity culture with his book "I Kissed Dating Goodbye." Since then, he's apologized for the book, exited from ministry and his marriage, and announced he's no longer a Christian. He talks to Skye about his journey from fundamentalism to deconstructionism, and back toward curiosity about Jesus. Also this week, how the Trump administration is making paganism great again, why secular progressives are rediscovering the benefits of religion, and how Christians in Springfield, Ohio, have organized to protect Haitian immigrants from deportation. Plus, cannibal jellyfish are taking over Venice, and Phil has seen the wrap light.

Can one person make a difference? Absolutely! But nothing can beat a group of people with a common bond and a common goal. Dr. Tony Evans explores ways to become that kind of committed community as we look at the power of a united church.
David confronts our three greatest fears: death, enemies, and the future. Dr. John Neufeld explores Psalm 23:4-6, showing how the Good Shepherd protects us through the "valley of the shadow of death"—because it's only a shadow, not death itself. God prepares a banquet for us in full view of our enemies, demonstrating His care while they watch. And His goodness and mercy will follow us forever—not just for our earthly days, but for eternity. Our best days are ahead of us.
God's Provision: The sheep don't know what they need, but the shepherd does—and he arranges everything for their care. This is why David declared, "The LORD is my shepherd"—because God provides all we truly want and need. In this five-message series, Dr. John Neufeld explores Psalms 23 and 37, unpacking what it means to trust the Good Shepherd who guides, protects, and provides for our deepest needs.
