In this 8-part series, Dr. Youssef explores the seven “I AM” statements of Jesus in the Gospel of John. Each message reveals Christ’s divinity and His exclusive role in our salvation—from the Bread of Life and the Light of the World to the Good Shepherd, the True Vine, and the Resurrection and the Life. Through these bold declarations, Dr. Youssef unpacks how Jesus alone provides spiritual nourishment, guidance, protection, Truth, and eternal life. This series invites you to deepen your understanding of who Jesus is—and to experience the life only He can give.

The Ladies of LoveTalk Network -- Marlene McMichael, Cathy Endebrock, and Kerri Brinkoeter -- explore the transformative power of dance as a medium for worship and discipleship with guest Heather Johnson. Heather, the Founder and Executive Director of Redemptive Dance Ministries (RDM), shares how her Christ-centered organization trains dancers in both technical excellence and biblical leadership, with a vision to redeem dance for God’s glory. With 17 chapters across three countries, including Kenya and Zimbabwe, RDM continues to expand globally, impacting lives through movement and ministry. In the discussion, Heather explains the unique role of redemptive dance, shares personal testimonies of its impact, and offers insights into using artistic gifts to spread the Gospel. The episode highlights how dance can be a powerful tool for spiritual transformation and invites listeners to support and engage with RDM’s mission. See rdm.life for more details.

1) Does Romans 5:10 indicate that our salvation is in both the death and the resurrection of Jesus?2) Will the Antichrist be a Roman Catholic?3) Why do you always quote from Paul and never from Jesus?4) Is there a correlation between the “law of sin offering” in Leviticus 6 and the book that John ate in Revelation 10?5) Were Old Testament saints saved by the death of Christ because Revelation 13:8 says the “Lamb slain from the foundation of the world”?6) Can you reconcile 2 Chronicles 15:2 and Hebrews 13:5 regarding God forsaking some and never forsaking others?7) Will Christians be put to death, taken to court, and persecuted before the Rapture takes place?8) Why do some believe Christ was crucified on Friday when that would be biblically impossible?9) How can Daniel, who became a eunuch, be called a prophet when Deuteronomy 23:1 restricts eunuchs from entering the assembly of the Lord?10) Why did the apostles have to come and pray over the Samaritan believers before they could receive the Holy Spirit?

U.S. House Majority Leader STEVE SCALISE (R-LA) joins us with the latest developments on the “Big Beautiful Bill” codifying President DONALD J. TRUMP’s  legislative priorities; all 11 House committees have completed their work, and Scalise says details are being hammered-out on items such as “No Tax on Tips,” more funding for border security and other key provision to craft a coalition of 218 votes within the GOP since no Democrat will support it.

In April, we asked VOM Radio listeners to sponsor Bible delivery to Christians living in restricted nations and hostile areas. This week, Ty Scott, VOM’s Regional Leader for East and Southern Africa, tells us about the work and effort involved in actually placing Bibles into the hands of Christians living in cities and villages in Sudan, Tanzania, or the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Statistically, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, and Tanzania are majority-Christian nations. Yet each has communities where almost every person is a Muslim. How is the gospel spreading in such places? And how are new followers of Christ treated by their families and the wider Islamic community?

Ty will share about family persecution in Comoros, a country we’ve never discussed on VOM Radio, where Christians comprise only tenths of a percent of the population.

Listen as Ty and VOM Radio Host, Todd Nettleton, discuss places where ethnic identity and Islam are completely intertwined. As gospel workers share the hope of Christ in those places, they don’t ask people to leave their ethnicity but to fulfill what God would have them be.

Hear the amazing testimony of a young man who brought his father, an imam (Islamic prayer leader), to faith in Christ, and how the gospel brought many into Christ’s kingdom through his father’s witness. Ty will also share specific ways you can pray for Christians in eastern and southern Africa.

The VOM App for your smartphone or tablet will help you pray daily for persecuted Christians throughout the year, as well as providing free access to e-books, audiobooks, video content and feature films. Download the VOM App for your iOS or Android device today.

Charlie, Jack, Tyler, Andrew, and Blake discuss the week's biggest topics, including:

 

-Why does the left hate white South Africans so much?

-What is each cast member's favorite movie, and is Ben Affleck a good actor?

-Is The Godfather Part 2 overrated?
