Why Pray? For starters—because God loves you and wants an intimate relationship with you. In a post-Christian culture where prayer is not prioritized, many Christians lack a basic understanding of the incredible power of prayer. Today, author Dennis Fuqua, who served as a pastor for over 20 years, joins me for a powerful conversation about why prayer is a crucial component of a growing relationship with God. SHOW NOTES

LifeWise Academy is on a mission to reach school children with the gospel—during school hours!  When LifeWise launched in 2018, the initial goal was to serve 25 schools by 2025, but it surpassed that long ago. By the start of this year, LifeWise had set up chapters in more than 300 schools in a dozen states, teaching 35,000 public school students weekly Bible lessons that are usually scheduled to coincide with lunch or non core courses such as library, art or gym class.

Man on a Mission: Joel Penton is Bringing the Gospel into Public Schools

Do you feel like you’re moving in the same direction with your spouse or just landing in the same room together every night? Today I’m joined by Gina & Julia Barbero and we’re talking about the importance of being on a shared mission with your spouse, collaboration with and support of each other. Money can be a major stressor in marriage, but it’s also a tool for a whole lot of good.

Having a Healthy Money Mindset and Being on a Shared Mission with Your Spouse with Julia and Gino Barbero

I want doctrinally sound worship music back. Where do I find it? | My husband cheated for almost a year. I’ve forgiven him and don’t want a divorce, but he doesn't want to work it out. | Are head coverings for women just a tradition we don’t need to follow? What does the Bible say about them? | I’m a new Christian. How do I study the Bible? | How do the different Bible translations differ?
