It's never been easier to end up overwhelmed by all the injustice in the world. Just scrolling through the news feeds on our phones can leave us both stirred to action and simultaneously discouraged that our little bit will make any difference in the face of so much evil and suffering. But there are effective and fulfilling ways to move from observer to activist.

Join Eddie Kaufholz from the International Justice Mission podcast, The New Activist, on Steve Brown, Etc. for a fun conversation about inspiring action that changes lives.

Eddie speaks, teaches, and writes about relationships, seasons of life, marriage, dating, parenting, the church, and theology. Connect with him on EddieKaufholz.com and visit IJM.org to find our more about the amazing work of International Justice Mission.

When trusted spiritual leaders fall, when we watch the innocent suffer, when death hits home... hard questions often give way to doubt. That can be scary for people who define themselves by their faith.

Join Zach Bolen, lead singer for Citizens and Saints, on Steve Brown, Etc. as he talks about doubt, faith, and putting it all to music on their new record A Mirror Dimly. You'll hear that doubt is a normal part of faith and how God's unconditional love frees us to struggle honestly without fear of slipping into the darkness.

Visit CitizensAndSaints.com and ZachBolen.com for the latest from Zach, and check out Citizens and Saints on YouTube.

Religion will make you weird (or worse). That's why, when you think about being godly, it's good to remember that God's big idea was to become human.

Join Matt Heard on Steve Brown, Etc. for a discussion of his new book, Life with a Capital L: Embracing Your God-Given Humanity. Hear that Jesus didn't come to show us how to deny our humanity, but rather celebrate it! If you're sick of merely existing, this one will help you live life to the full.

Matt Heard was the senior pastor at Woodmen Valley Chapel for twelve years. He is now a speaker, writer, and consultant. Connect with Matt at MattHeard.org.

When people think of heaven, they often picture a place "up there" with polished halos, fat, winged babies with harps, and lots of cloud-pavement. What if, instead, heaven will be on earth, but better?

Join Elyse Fitzpatrick on Steve Brown, Etc. for a discussion of her new book Home: How Heaven and the New Earth Satisfy Our Deepest Longings. 

Elyse holds an M.A. in Biblical Counseling from Trinity Theological Seminary. She has authored over 20 books on daily living and the Christian life, including Found in Him, Because He Loves Me, and Comforts from Romans.

If you could go back in time to when you first became a Christian and impart some wisdom to yourself, what would it be? Maybe you'd advise against wearing that "turn or burn" T-shirt with the Energizer Bunny on it. You could comfort your zealous young self who just threw away his entire collection of secular CDs with the knowledge that one day God would send Spotify to make things right. Just think of all the pain that could be avoided.

Join Alex Early on Steve Brown, Etc., because until we invent time travel, the next best thing is his new book, The New Believer's Guide to the Christian Life: What Will Change, What Won't, and Why It Matters. The Christianese Glossary alone is worth the price of admission.

Alex Early serves Redemption Church in Seattle and is the author of The Reckless Love of God. He's also a sought-after speaker. (Don't miss your chance to join Alex and Steve Brown at the Grace Encounter Conference in Orlando, March 15-17. Visit GraceEncounterConference.com for information and registration.)

Mike McHargue knows the pain of losing faith. While a deacon in a Baptist church, a personal crisis drove him to the Bible. Instead of answers, he found more questions and became an atheist. But that's just the beginning of Mike's miraculous story.

Join "Science Mike" from the podcasts The Liturgists Podcast and Ask Science Mike as he talks about his new book, Finding God in the Waves: How I Lost My Faith and Found It Again Through Science. If you've ever experienced doubt or unraveling belief, don't miss this episode of Steve Brown, Etc.

Mike McHargue is a popular podcaster, blogger, and in-demand speaker who uses his story to help people know God in an age of science.

Doesn't it irk you that everyone is so angry? From our news feeds to our offices to our families, we can't escape it. Then we join in and hurt those we love most with words and actions we can't take back.

How could anger ever be good and redemptive?

Join David Powlison on Steve Brown, Etc. for a discussion of his new book, Good and Angry: Redeeming Anger, Irritation, Complaining, and Bitterness. There is a path toward a faithful and fruitful expression of anger over how things have gone so wrong.

The love parents have for their children can easily turn into pressure to do everything right, to make sure they grow up good and godly (or at the very least get straight As and become captain of the soccer team). What does it look like to parent without the burden of producing "perfect" children?

Join Paul Tripp on Steve Brown, Etc. for help from his new book, Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family. God's grace to us and through us as parents will set our families free!

Dr. Paul David Tripp is a best-selling author and the president of Paul Tripp Ministries. He's the author of Dangerous Calling, New Morning Mercies, Awe, and What Did You Expect?

Changing the way you see the world can change everything. But how? How can we overcome biases we don't even know we have and gain new perspective?

For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, let them join Jim Gilmore on Steve Brown, Etc. for an enlightening discussion of his new book, Look: A Practical Guide for Improving Your Observational Skills.

Marriage is a big deal, but maybe not for the reasons you think. When two imperfect people make vows of unfailing love, they are doing way more than committing to a lifetime together. They are revealing eternity.

Join Ray Ortlund on Steve Brown, Etc. for a discussion of his new book, Marriage and the Mystery of the Gospel. Find hope in the grace and unending love of God as marriage gives us a glimpse of his passionate union with a broken creation.
