WHEN YOUR CHILD GOES PRODIGAL

Featuring Debra McNinch & Dr. Stephen Phinney

When a child goes prodigal, the shock can shatter even the most stable life. Debra McNinch shares how her world shifted in a single phone call—when her child announced a transgender identity—and how everything she thought was secure suddenly felt uncertain. The values she had poured into her child seemed to fade before her eyes, leaving her in a storm of fear, confusion, and heartbreak. Her story speaks to every parent who has watched a beloved son or daughter drift from the truth they once embraced.

In this episode, Debra reveals the raw, grace‑filled journey that drove her to her knees, crying out to God with questions no parent ever expects to ask. Over six years of deep prayer, the Lord met her in her brokenness, piecing her heart back together with His sovereignty, compassion, and unrelenting love. What emerged from her ashes is now her battle cry: the prodigals are coming home. Join Dr. Phinney as he and Debra guide listeners through what to do when a child goes prodigal—and how to cling to the God who never stops pursuing His own.

BOOK OF REVELATION MADE SIMPLE

Featuring Shama Stock & Dr. Stephen Phinney

In this fresh episode, Dr. Stephen Phinney and Shama Stock invite listeners to rediscover the book of Revelation—not as a cryptic puzzle of symbols and judgments, but as a tender love letter from Yeshua to His bride. Together, they explore how this prophetic masterpiece reveals the heart of the Savior rather than the fear of the end times. Their conversation gently guides believers to see that Revelation’s ultimate message is one of hope, intimacy, and divine promise.

Through their dialogue, Dr. Phinney and Shama remind us that even children, with their pure and trusting faith, can grasp the essence of this book. When we approach Revelation with childlike wonder instead of intellectual anxiety, we find Yeshua’s voice calling us to rest in His victory and love. This episode is a refreshing invitation to read the final book of Scripture not with dread—but with delight.

Listeners are invited to send in their questions for Shama Stock and Dr. Phinney as they prepare for their next episode together. Whether it’s a curiosity about prophecy, a question your children have asked, or something stirring in your own heart, they would love to hear from you. Your questions help shape meaningful conversations that reach families, deepen understanding, and keep every episode rooted in the Life of Yeshua.

AI & THE FALSE PROPHET (PART TWO)

Featuring Terry Rotering & Dr. Stephen Phinney

Today’s special episode of Truthstream brings together Dr. Stephen Phinney and author Terry Rotering for a sobering and much‑needed conversation: “AI & The False Prophet.” In a world racing toward technological dependence, the two explore how artificial intelligence is quietly shaping the very environment Scripture describes—a world primed for spiritual deception, global persuasion, and a unified voice that does not come from the Spirit of Yeshua. This is not a discussion of fear, but of discernment. It is a call for believers to recognize how rapidly the stage is being set for the influence that Revelation attributes to the False Prophet.

Dr. Phinney and Terry Rotering unpack how AI’s rise is conditioning humanity toward the very unity the False Prophet will command—an engineered oneness built not on the Spirit, but on deception, convenience, and counterfeit enlightenment. As AI becomes the trusted voice of culture, morality, and even spirituality, the world is being groomed to embrace a centralized authority that speaks with persuasive power. This episode exposes how that deception will ignite a false unity—one that appears peaceful and progressive, yet ultimately leads the nations to bow to a voice that is not the voice of the King of kings.

CHAMPION TO VICTOR IN CHRIST

Featuring Tim Malm & Dr. Stephen Phinney

Dr. Stephen Phinney sits down with Tim Malm, a former elite rodeo competitor whose life took a dramatic turn after a devastating accident in 2010. Once a three‑time National High School Finals Rodeo qualifier and the 2009 Reserve Champion in Tie‑Down Roping, Tim faced the kind of loss that could have ended his story. Instead, it became the beginning of a new one. Out of pain and perseverance came Stronger 413, a faith‑based brand inspired by Philippians 4:13 — a living testimony to God’s power to rebuild what’s broken.

In this episode, Tim shares how faith, grit, and relentless hope carried him through recovery, from the arena to the therapy room and back to the saddle. He’s regained full use of his right side and can once again swing his rope — a symbol of redemption and divine strength. Join Dr. Phinney and Tim as they explore how God transforms tragedy into calling, and how one cowboy’s comeback became a movement of faith that refuses to quit.

SEPARATION OF CHURCH & STATE (Part Two)

Featuring Andrew Linn & Dr. Stephen Phinney

In this powerful episode of Truthstream, Dr. Stephen Phinney sits down with documentary film director Andrew Linn, whose work explores the intersection of faith, history, and the American founding. Linn’s latest film, Church and State: Roger Williams and the Founding of Freedom of Religion, uncovers the deep roots of religious liberty and why it remains essential in today’s cultural climate. Together, Phinney and Linn guide listeners through the historical tensions that shaped America’s earliest debates on conscience, governance, and the limits of civil authority.

But this conversation goes far beyond promoting a film. Linn brings an uncommon ability to translate complex historical and constitutional ideas into engaging, accessible dialogue, weaving in storytelling, behind‑the‑scenes insights, and thoughtful perspective. His balanced, historically grounded presence pairs seamlessly with Dr. Phinney’s theological clarity, creating a rich, compelling discussion for audiences interested in religion, politics, culture, and the future of freedom itself. This episode doesn’t just inform—it invites listeners into a deeper understanding of why trust, liberty, and spiritual conviction still matter in the public square.
