Do you know how important it is to study history? For one thing, we can learn how to avoid the mistakes made by previous generations—but studying history also gives us an opportunity to ask crucial questions such as “why does God allow bad things to happen?” Join me today as I talk with my friend, author and speaker, Linda Lacour Hobar (TheMysteryofHistory.com) about why history matters and how we can learn from it!

Transcribed version of podcast is below.

When is the last time God called you to do something that felt terrifying? When God nudges us into the unknown, it can be thrilling and exciting but also overwhelming and risky. Whether you're a stay-at-home mom, a corporate leader looking to follow God's calling, or a retiree who knows you have more to give to the world, this podcast will inspire and encourage you to walk out your calling—and wait for God’s timing.

Walk In Your Calling with Rachel G. Scott

Elena Barbera is an average mother turned unlikely filmmaker, and this woman is off the bench and onto the battlefield. American Groomer tells the story of how American children are being sexualized in their schools, how it came to pass that 39 states, it's legal to show porn to school children and what can be done about it. 
Note: This is a challenging discussion and not a great topic for little ears.

The Kids Are Not Alright with Elena Barbera

I’m loving these listener questions with my friend Pastor Phil Hopper. You guys have some good ones today, and we’re talking about a couple things that have happened recently also.
How do we unpack public situations without creating public drama? | My neighbor says God gives her visions. Is this Biblical? | Do we schedule Biblical healing during our services? | Is it worth it to argue about different views of the end times?

Ask the Pastor with Phil Hopper

Bridgette Ridenour, sister of Kirk Cameron and Candace Cameron Bure, joins me today to share what it was like to be a sibling to her famous brother and sister. Her story of feeling overlooked will bless you as she reminds us that when God writes the story, it will always be a better one.

God Writes a Better Story with Bridgette Cameron Ridenour

There seem to be a lot of off limits areas where Christians shy away from filling the spaces, leading the conversations, saying the hard things. When we do that, the void gets filled, but it’s missing something. Don't miss my discussion with Matt Shea on why we need Christians in every area of influence today.
