  • What Real Help Looks Like for an Abusive Marriage

    Our guest is Kathy Nagel from Abigail Ministries.

    When someone you love may be experiencing abuse, knowing how to help can feel overwhelming. Kathy joins us to walk through what real, effective help actually looks like—and just as importantly, what not to do.

    We talk about the signs you should pay attention to, how to approach a friend in a way that is safe and supportive, and the common mistakes well-meaning Christians often make when trying to help. Kathy brings clarity, wisdom, and practical steps for anyone who wants to support a friend trapped in an abusive marriage.

    This is a vital conversation for every believer who wants to respond with truth, protection, and compassion.

  • Getting to Know Your Spouse

    Our guests are Joe and Cindi Ferrini from My Marriage Matters (cindiferrini.com).

    Marriage doesn’t stay strong by accident—it grows because we choose to build it. Joe and Cindi join us to talk about what it really looks like to keep getting to know your spouse, even decades into marriage. 

    Joe and Cindi walk us through what it means to study your spouse: sharing your day, your feelings, your dreams, your disappointments, and the hard things. They remind us that the goal is always oneness, because when we stop learning each other, isolation begins.

    This episode is a hopeful, practical conversation for every couple who wants to grow deeper together.

  • Are Colleges Coming After Our Kids?

    College campuses are changing faster than ever, and with that change comes concern, confusion, and big questions for Christian parents. We talk with Lisa and Eric about what ministry looks like in today’s cultural climate—how students are responding to the gospel, what pressures they’re facing, and how campus staff are walking with them through identity, faith, community, and purpose.

    Brian also asks the age-old question that so many parents wrestle with: Is college forcing my kid to deny Christ? This conversation will help you understand what’s really happening on campus and how you can support your child spiritually through their college years.

  • The Hardest Moment as a Pastor

    We’re joined by Dr. Ron and Anita Morrison of Hope Alliance Bible Church for an honest conversation about one of the most painful and often overlooked parts of ministry—when people leave the church without a word.

    It’s not conflict, criticism, or even long hours that make pastoring hardest. It’s the quiet goodbyes, the unanswered texts, and the lingering question: what happened?

    The Morrisons help us explore how to leave a church well, with grace, honesty, and love for the Body of Christ.

  • Just Call Heather

    We’re joined by Kevin Hewitt and Heather Huebner of Christian Children’s Home of Ohio – Encourage Foster Care to talk about the powerful role the Church can play in solving the foster care crisis.

    Kevin and Heather share why Christians are some of the best candidates to be foster parents, and how—if just one family in every church in Ohio stepped up to foster—we could completely change the story for thousands of children in need.

    If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to open your home, your heart, and your faith to a child—just call Heather.
