Phil, Kaitlyn, and Skye respond to questions from the listeners, including whether lay people should go to seminary, how important is attending a church after being hurt by one, and whether Christians should make violent video games. They also venture into theological topics like what pronouns are appropriate for God, what doctrines do we emphasize too much, and why they all think telling kids to “ask Jesus into your heart” is a bad idea. The crew also revisits the topic of Project 2025 and whether they regret their dismissive opinions about it from before the election. Also this week—Skye reveals plans for his new project with Holy Post Media, and one listener's question prompts Kaitlyn to make a big announcement.

 As members of the new covenant, Christians can enter God's presence with full assurance through faith in Jesus Christ, and they have a hope that is as sure as God's faithful character. But these privileges are not private blessings for isolated individuals. In this message from David Platt from Hebrews 10:19–25, we'll see privilege and responsibility we have to gather regularly with the church and encourage our fellow members to press on in following Christ. As a community of faith, we are to stir up one another to love in good works, particularly as the day of Christ's return draws near. Explore more content from Radical.

Dr. J. Vernon McGee says that in only four short chapters, the book of Jonah deals with six significant subjects: Jesus' resurrection and salvation (not by works); God's purposes, faithfulness, goodness, and grace. He is the God of the Gentiles!

In this powerful episode of the Compelled podcast, Emma Mae McDaniel invites listeners to rediscover the wonder and relevance of God's Word through the familiar story of Noah and the Ark. Though many of us know this story from childhood, Emma uncovers fresh insight into what it truly means to walk by faith amid uncertainty. With heartfelt encouragement, she emphasizes that the secret to Noah's obedience wasn't fearlessness or perfection—it was his closeness with God. As Emma reflects on Genesis 6 and 7, she challenges us to cultivate a daily walk with the Lord, reminding us that it is in our abiding relationship with Him that we find strength, guidance, and peace in the unknown. Whether you're navigating big life changes or struggling with fear of the future, this episode will inspire you to stay near to God and live a life compelled by His presence and love. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you have a tendency to take a bit too much credit for your success while overlooking God's blessing in your life? Even with the best of intentions, the human heart always defaults toward pride. Beginning in Judges Chapter 8, we see how Gideon's victory as a warrior began to inflate his ego. Rather than giving glory to God, he chose to act like a king who deserved special treatment. In a real sense, Gideon manufactured his own “broken savior.”

We all lead our lives under authority, but we must be conscious of which authority we're choosing. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how our lives should look under authority of the King, drawing from biblical examples including Jonah, Moses, and Abraham. We all need the humility to say, “I am under the authority of the King. I have raised my hand, and I'm going to run my race, complete my course, and I will not stop. In the name of Jesus, I will finish triumphantly!” Living a life fully under God's authority will bring freedom, but it also requires obedience to Him and a heart change.    To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world, visit this link: allenjackson.com/podcastdonate

In this episode, I sit down with Brenna Blain for one of the most honest conversations I've had on the podcast. We talk about what it really looks like to follow Jesus while still battling mental illness, trauma, and temptation. Brenna shares her powerful story from growing up in church as a pastor's kid, abuse, same-sex attraction, and deep seasons of depression. We talk about what it means to suffer well, how motherhood can actually disciple us, and why God's goodness doesn't always look like the comfort we expected - yet we hold fast to the promise that God heals always, even if it's not on this side of eternity. If you've ever asked, “Can I still love Jesus and feel this broken?” this episode is for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In support of his new book, "Lies My Therapist Told Me", Dr. Greg Gifford joins Todd Friel today for a special Wretched Radio episode. "Lies My Therapist Told Me" is available for purchase today! Segment 1: • 1 in 4 Americans are labeled with mental illness—without blood tests or brain scans. • Psychiatry is built on subjective symptoms, not scientific evidence. • SSRIs are prescribed as a shot in the dark, despite unclear causes or outcomes. Segment 2: • Scripture defines the mind as spiritual; the brain is physical—a crucial distinction. • Secular therapy targets the brain, but only God's Word renews the mind (Romans 12:2). • Outsourcing soul care to unbelievers denies biblical anthropology and gospel hope. Segment 3: • ADHD is often diagnosed to explain immaturity or secure school funding—not science. • Written evaluations, not lab tests, lead to life-altering labels and medications. • Ask hard questions: Is your child undisciplined, or just not designed for 6-hour desks? Segment 4: • Lies My Therapist Told Me stays boldly biblical—even with a secular publisher. • The real solution to mental pain isn't treatment—it's transformation through salvation. • You're not broken beyond repair—Christ frees you from sin, shame, and bad labels. – Order the new book, "Lies My Therapist Told Me", by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme – Thanks for listening!

Our minds have a cruise control function, it would seem. We can be driving down a familiar road, paying only a modicum of attention, and wonder when that last mile went by. Our minds weren’t really in the moment. We can unfortunately follow that same pattern when we read Scripture, especially if we’re trying to read a certain volume of passages as a goal.

What if the greatest threat to your faith isn't fear—but distraction?

From golden calves to glowing screens, the team exposes how distraction can become modern-day idolatry and explains why the mind is the primary battleground in spiritual warfare. Candace also opens up about the mental exhaustion of spinning too many plates and how she's fighting to reclaim peace, focus, and rest. You'll walk away with practical strategies to identify your biggest distractions and learn how to redirect your attention back to Jesus. Because if the enemy can't destroy you—he'll try to distract you.

Christ consciousness is a growing New Age belief that presents Christ as a universal state of enlightenment rather than the incarnate Son of God. It redefines salvation as merely overcoming the illusion of separation from God, dismisses the reality of sin, and turns the crucifixion and resurrection into symbolic metaphors. This belief system offers self-realization and inner divinity, but it ultimately denies the power of the gospel and the need for a Savior. The guys point out that while it may sound spiritual and even appealing, it leads people away from the truth of scripture. They encourage believers to stay rooted in God's Word, approach conversations with grace and clarity, and remember that those drawn to these teachings are often searching for real hope—something only Jesus can provide.Send us a textThanks for listening!

When you serve the Lord, Nancy says you're a lot like a Levite in the Old Testament. You've been entrusted with treasure to steward, and you have a God who promises to help you bear all the burdens of ministry. He is with you!

Chris Hodges, founding pastor of Church of the Highlands, opens up for the first time about being bullied as a kid, having an inferiority complex, and how that's impacted his leadership. Plus, he shares how to multiply leaders to craft a successful succession.

Just as deceptive weeds can creep into a healthy garden, pride often sneaks into our hearts, growing unnoticed among our accomplishments and even our service to God. Annie Yorty uses a vivid gardening metaphor to help us recognize how pride takes root and how we can humbly invite God to weed it out. Through reflection, Scripture, and prayer, we’re reminded to give glory to the true source of all our gifts: God alone. Themes Explored: The subtle danger of pride Recognizing the difference between self-glory and God-glory Daily humility as spiritual “weed control” Confession and dependence on God for heart inspection Living for God’s glory over our own Scripture Reference Jeremiah 9:23 (NLT) “This is what the Lord says: ‘Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom, or the powerful boast in their power, or the rich boast in their riches.’”

Does life feel dark right now? When you go through serious challenges, it can feel like you're the only one our—guest on this episode understands that—but we wanted you to know the truth: you're not alone. Join Joyce, Ginger, Erin, and the epic Sheila Walsh and hear how she went from live Christian TV one day to a psychiatric ward the next, and how God brought her through it all.

God does not ask His people to abandon logic and simply accept the teachings of His Word on faith. Today, Barry Cooper helps us distinguish between a paradox and a contradiction.

Glenn Beck Special. WARNING: The Sinister Plan to SABOTAGE Trump's Deportations.  Tom Homan The Trump resistance is expanding outward from the courts to the streets as Democrats have decided to make their latest phony stance all about ICE and deportations. In this episode, Glenn Beck breaks down the Left's latest coordinated push to destabilize America. When Democrats lose elections, their strategy apparently isn't to win back voters — it's to storm ICE facilities, defend criminal illegal immigrants, and accuse law enforcement of brutality.  While they champion open borders and compare themselves to Civil Rights heroes, they lose their minds over 59 white South Africans being admitted as refugees. It's all about ideology, not compassion. Glenn outlines how the Left's obsession with race and Marxist ideology, combined with the planning sessions of Democratic governors, is setting the stage for the Left's next mass street action. Are we headed for another 2020-like summer of “mostly peaceful” riots? White House border czar Tom Homan joins “Glenn TV” to address dangerous rhetoric from Democrat leaders like Rep. Swalwell (Calif.) and Gov. Walz (Minn.), the debate over due process in deportations, the success of the administration's self-deportation program, and the case of the Brazilian American accidentally detained by ICE.

Today, our interdenominational Christian ministry serves the poor in primarily 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks to our faithful donors, we are able to provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief, micro-enterprise solutions and much more. We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless.   Report on Food For the Poor by Charity Navigator https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/592174510   -------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer from ACU.
