Some pain and illness will be orders of magnitude more intensive than other forms. What happens when the suffering and pain is so intense and so prolonged that it puts the human mental and emotional condition to the test, and shakes faith and hope to the very core? Does faith break? Does love fail? Or does one find love in the darkness and hope in the torment? David Libby shares the real-life story of a fifteen-year ordeal with chronic pain and suffering in the lives of his wife and children. This heartrending story gives a whole new perspective on suffering, the human experience in a fallen world, the sovereignty of God, and the redemption of God.

God uses certain means to bring about salvation while He is sovereign over all of it. Fifty-one percent of evangelicals confirm that their parents were the most important or significant influence in their becoming Christians. Fifteen percent credit a spouse or a sibling as the most important influence in them coming to faith. And only 3% credit a Sunday School teacher, a VBS instructor, or some other ministry in the church, and 4% would credit a concert or a crusade. Dads and moms are critical to the cultivation of souls in this field.

World-shaking crises are always in the wind, and the media takes full advantage of them. The fear-mongering is part of the worship service for the media and political systems. What's our mindset in foreseeing crises and handling them when they come? How do we keep everything in the right proportion in our minds, and what is our response to the crisis? When we view the root cause, are we looking at brute chance, human powers, demonic powers, or the sovereign hand of almighty God?

Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, and other favorite conservative icons are increasingly employing the most profane language to make their points. Granted, some situations call for stronger language—but are these angry tirades going over the edge? What about referring to someone’s position as “cattle excrement?” How does the Christian use language to build up and give grace? 

The crying need of the day is shepherding and discipleship in home and church. But, how is this done? What is a shepherd, and how do we love the sheep God has put under our care? Alexander Strauch and Scott Brown join us for this lively discussion. 

Have you ever wondered what it’s like on a Christian movie set? Today, guest host Adam McManus takes you behind the scenes in a fascinating interview with Kevin Bouren, co-founder of Set Shepherds. Kevin, a retired Colonel in the U.S. Army, sees some intriguing similarities between all the moving parts of military battle and all the moving parts of a movie production. Acting as both co-producer and chaplain of the cast and crew, his goal is to be an ambassador for Jesus Christ to the believers and unbelievers alike.

You will hear:

*  how a rough-and-tumble actor, who had been in Hollywood for decades, came to know Jesus Christ as Savior on the set of “Birthright Outlaw,” a Christian western.

* how a member of the crew was inspired to reach out to a homeless man, named William, who was sleeping under the bridge near their hotel.

* and how the son of a community leader working with Kevin on “The Forge,” the latest Kendrick Brothers’ full-length feature, was thirsty for Christian male discipleship.

Teen popular culture now has shifted into almost 100% Satanism, homosexuality, and suicide. While Christian parents want to protect their children from these ungodly influences, they can't protect their kids from their own hearts. What do you tell a parent whose teen kids are in rebellion after they've done "all the right things?"

We’re in the middle of a raging apostasy and an aggressive zeitgeist that is anti-Christan. Like it or not, we are in the midst of a culture war. We are more on defense than offense. Do we fight? Do act the nice guy? Do we walk away and just try to avoid the whole thing? Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus discuss the Christians life and the culture war that we find ourselves in the midst of.

Why does the media miss covering the greatest injustice in America? The silence in deafening as Christians are heading for 11 - 33 years in prison for standing up for life by order of the Biden administration. The prophetic message is more for Christians than non-Christians.
