Actor Antonio Sabato Jr spends time on the show regarding the recent online release of "God's Not Dead: We The People" which had a very successful in-theatres weekend release in October 2021. His character plays a home-schooling father who travels to DC to fight for his rights on what to teach his children after educational interference demands that he stop or go to jail. Sabato, whose credits over the years range from General Hospital, CSI: NY, The Big Hit and as a model, has also launched a studio to produce conservative films, TV shows, and documentaries.

Former NFL linebacker & longtime Philadelphia broadcaster Garry "G" Cobb also weighs in on the upcoming Eagles-Buccaneers playoff game. Cobb adds thoughts on honoring the seniors in your life (including our parents, as Exodus 20:12 says).

Prior to the guests joining the program, Tim takes time to share about the "Tim DeMoss Show" overall including several foundational Scriptures such as John 3:16 and Psalm 84:11b. Part of his thoughts revolve around a rather crazy rideshare he gave a couple of years ago and the application of John 10:10--"I came that you might have life, and have it to the full."

We give away gift cards too (Dunkin, Panera, Rita's & WaWa) via the text line (610-500-DOVE) throughout the program as well :).

Founding member of Run-DMC Darryl "DMC" McDaniels checks in to chat about his new children's book "Darryl's Dream." It's a picture book that "introduces readers ages 3 to 7 to a quiet third grader named Darryl. He has big dreams, loves writing, and wants to share his talents, but he's shy, and the kids who make fun of his glasses only make things worse. Will the school talent show be his chance to shine?" "Darryl's Dream" is a story about creativity, confidence, and finding your voice.

Actor Dan Ahdoot (Cobra Kai) joins the program as well regarding "Raid The Fridge," a new series which recently premiered on Food Network (Tuesdays @ 10pm ET). "Chefs guess their way to ingredients and choose mystery refrigerators based only on their outside appearance to create top-notch dishes."

The book is very flexible and can be used in a curriculum-like manner or simply as a reference/family one-off even for those who have no homeschooling background.

Tim caps off the show with a brief update on Victoria Joy (his daughter with special needs) and her spinal fusion surgery. Thank you for your prayers! God is answering them.
