Touching Lives with Dr. James Merritt

What if God's will for your life could be summed up in one word? In 1 Thessalonians 4:3, Paul spells it out succinctly: “It is God's will that you should be sanctified ….” But what does it actually mean to be “sanctified”? In our “Lost in Translation” series, we're dealing with big biblical words that many of us struggle to understand and apply. Sanctification is one of the most important words in the Bible, yet we don't hear much about it anymore. Sanctification literally means “to be set apart,” but the problem is, most Christians today aren't set apart at all. Like the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin that looked so much like a quarter, it confused everyone and had to be removed from circulation, Christians today often look so much like non-believers that no one can tell the difference. A recent Barna survey showed that born-again believers were just as likely as unbelievers to gamble, gossip, lie, steal, visit pornographic websites, drink excessively, and use illegal substances. But God calls His children to be holy, to look like Him through His transforming work of sanctification.

Research from Barna reveals the top two reasons pastors consider quitting are stress and loneliness. This same study demonstrated an increase in pastoral loneliness—from 42% of pastors saying they felt frequently or sometimes lonely in 2015 to 65% of pastors in 2023. The church is supposed to be a place of belonging and hope, but many church leaders experience the opposite—isolation and discouragement. Josh and Sam examine this problem and offer their solutions.

In this episode of The Mission Matters podcast, Ted Esler welcomes guests Matthew Ellison and Denny Spitters from Sixteen:Fifteen to discuss their new book, The Sending Shepherd: Leading Churches to Disciple All Nations. The book emerges from a Barna study commissioned in partnership with Pioneers, which surveyed over 400 U.S. Protestant pastors about their understanding of missions. The results reveal concerning trends: missions is rarely taught or preached, the definition of missions is widely diluted, and there's a significant disconnect between pastoral passion for the Great Commission and actual church engagement in global missions. The authors argue that pastoral leadership is critical to reversing this decline and sparking a new missions mobilization movement in the American Church.Despite the challenges, the research also points to encouraging opportunities. While only 27% of pastors report strong passion for global missions, 74% affirm the importance of the Great Commission, and 98% see missions as a biblical mandate. Matthew and Denny emphasize that this gap is a strategic opportunity. We can start to address it with clear definitions, scriptural teaching, and equipping pastors to become "sending shepherds." They encourage church leaders to connect local outreach passions with global needs and to shift from consumer-driven topical teaching to narrative-rich biblical exposition. The book offers a compelling, data-driven call to action for pastors, missions leaders, and mobilizers alike.The Mission Matters Podcast is a place to talk about the importance of our Mission as Christians. The Mission Matters is a partnership of Missio Nexus and Sixteen:Fifteen, who have a shared passion to mobilize God's people to be a part of His mission.thesendingshepherd.com1615.org/sendingshepherd

They tell me it's not a knee but a hock and I hadn't ought to say things I know nothing about. I say the light on the mud is pure chalcedony. They say the mud killed two cows over the weekend. I tell them the pig is alive and the spring trees are standing in a green haze. The tell me school is out in a week and they have to plant. The grain elevator at the end of Main Street stretches out her blue arms. The kids say chutes.

Vicepremierul Tanczos Barna explică într-un interviu la RFI efectele măsurilor din primele două pachete fiscale, anunțate de Guvernul condus de Ilie Bolojan. El vorbește de asemenea despre reforma pensiilor speciale, protestele sindicale și funcționarea coaliției. Tanczos Barna, despre măsurile fiscale: ”Trebuie să înțeleagă și cei care organizează grevele că în momentul în care s-a ajuns la fundul sacului, trebuie să găsim soluții împreună, prin dialog, prin compromis”. Despre reforma pensiilor speciale: ”Va trebui să avem elemente care vizează privilegiile de pensionare, privilegiile de durată a activității pe timpul muncii, în mai multe domenii și în Justiție și în MAI, în Interne, Justiție, Jandarmerie, Armată, acolo unde serviciile suport, care pur și simplu fac același lucru ca într-o primărie, contabilitate, resurse umane, alte activități care nu sunt legate de intervenții ale echipelor de jandarmi, ale forțelor speciale, ale armatei, ale militarilor, trebuie să se apropie de condițiile de pensionare din celelalte domenii, pentru că altfel, vor fi considerate și sunt considerate privilegii”. Despre companiile de stat: ”Facem diferența între companii și companii. Avem companiile din domeniul transporturilor, care sunt companii ineficiente, pe pierdere, datornice la stat și unde se mai laudă și directorii că nu sunt săraci, că au 11.000 de euro salariu. Da, acea persoană trebuia dată afară imediat de Ministerul Transporturilor și acolo trebuie făcută o reformă serioasă, pentru că CFR-urile practic sunt companii care trăiesc din banul public și unde salariile din păcate au ajuns la un nivel obraznic, aș putea să spun nesimțite. Trebuie să aduc un contra-exemplu, Hidroelectrica, o companie listată la Bursă, o companie care crește an de an pe piața națională, o companie care are investiții de ordinul miliardelor de lei și o companie care anul acesta a virat la bugetul de stat peste trei miliarde de lei”.

It's Wednesday, June 18th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Pakistani Muslims level false accusations against Christians Muslims in Pakistan are using the country's blasphemy laws to target religious minorities. Human Rights Watch released a report on the issue, entitled, “A Conspiracy to Grab the Land: Exploiting Pakistan's Blasphemy Laws for Blackmail and Profit.” For example, Christians experience false accusations of blasphemy against Islam. Locals then weaponize the accusations by inciting mob violence against Christians and seizing their property.  Sadly, the government does little to nothing about such attacks. Pakistan is ranked eighth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian.  Psalm 14:4 asks, “Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?” Trump warns Iranian civilians to evacuate Tehran U.S. President Donald Trump called for Iranian civilians to evacuate their capital city of Tehran this week as fighting between Israel and Iran escalates.  And yesterday, he wrote on Truth Social, “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader' is hiding.  ... We are not going to take him out. ... at least not for now. But we don't want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin.” A senior White House official told Fox News that U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities are on the table.  Supreme Court: Religious groups cannot be compelled to fund abortion On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed a lower court ruling that had previously forced religious groups to fund abortions. The state of New York required groups, including churches, to cover abortions in their health insurance plans for employees. Religious groups have been challenging the policy for years. Attorney Noel Francisco commented on the case. He said, “Religious groups in the Empire State should not be forced to provide insurance coverage that violates their deeply held religious beliefs. We are confident that New York will finally get the message and stop discriminating against religious objectors.” House voted to cut $9 billion in foreign aid and public broadcasting The U.S. House of representatives narrowly passed a measure to cut $9 billion in funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting.  The House approved the legislation by a vote of 214-212 last Thursday.  House Speaker Mike Johnson commented, “It is just one of the ways Republicans are codifying DOGE's findings and putting taxpayer dollars to better use.” The bill faces an uncertain future in the U.S. Senate. Children's Hospital in Los Angeles closes its transgender center The Children's Hospital in Los Angeles recently announced it will close its so-called “Center for Transyouth Health and Development” next month.  The center performed sex mutilating surgeries and offered puberty-blocking drugs to children.  The announcement follows an executive order from President Trump that bans federal funding for transgender operations for minors. Alabama has most people with Biblical worldview; Rhode Island the least Dr. George Barna released a new report on the worldview of Americans ranked by state. The report notes that only 4% of U.S. adults hold to a Biblical worldview. However, that number varies by state. The states with the highest proportion of adults with a Biblical worldview are Alabama at 12.6%, Mississippi at 12.5%, South Carolina at 9.8%, and Arkansas at 9%. States with the least proportion of adults with a Biblical worldview are Rhode Island at 0.25%, Maine at 1.1%, Nebraska at 1.5% and Massachusetts at 1.8%.  Even though states like Alabama and Mississippi have a higher incidence of adults with a Biblical worldview, Dr. Barna noted, “In absolute terms, every state in the union is failing miserably at developing the biblical worldview among its residents.” Isaiah 55:7 says, “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” Worldview listeners in Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Kentucky share their hearts I invited Worldview listeners to share what they enjoy about the newscast in 2-6 sentences by email.  You can share your thoughts — along with your full name, city and state — and send it to adam@TheWorldview.com Barabara Resheske in Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin wrote, “I read every word of The Worldview transcript because it confirms my belief that the world is in turmoil, but Christ is in control. I pray when you request prayers for the persecuted. I thank you for telling us what the mass media doesn't.  Indeed, I thank you for truth, honesty, and transparency.” Ruth Stapp in Edmond, Oklahoma wrote, “I love The Worldview and look forward to seeing it every day. Your information is exactly what I need. I do not enjoy watching the news on TV because of the bias and lies. Plus, your newscast gives me an opportunity to delve further into any of the stories that spark my interest through the links you provide.”  And Daniel Wojnicki in Louisville, Kentucky. wrote,  “I enjoy that The Worldview gives facts and news insights all in one short newscast. Because it's a Christian news source, there is no distortion of the truth.  Being informed about the truth is very rare these days, especially in an age ruled by corrupted news anchors.” 8 Worldview listeners gave $3,022 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our $92,625 goal by this Friday, June 20th  to fund three-quarters of The Worldview newscast's annual budget for our 6-member team, 8  listeners stepped up to the plate as of 4:00pm Central yesterday afternoon.

And we were touched by the generosity of Carlee in Keswick Ridge, New Brunswick, Canada who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, Susan in San Antonio, Texas who gave $1,000, and Scooter in Naples, Florida who gave $1,000 to match Susan's gift. Those 8 Worldview listeners gave a total of $3,022. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum roll sound effect) $46,896.70 (People clapping and cheering sound effect)   Toward this Friday, June 20th's goal of $92,625, we need to raise $45,728.30. Remember, if you are one of the final 2 people who will give a one-time gift of $1,000, Scooter in Naples, Florida will match you with a corresponding $1,000 gift of his own.  I am wondering if there are two businesspeople in our listening audience  – two -- who would consider a generous $10,000 matching gift if 5 other listeners gave a one-time gift of $2,000.

Jesus's final command was the Great Commission, yet startling research reveals many in our churches don't know it. Are we truly making disciples, or is the American church facing a silent crisis? Bullet Points (Key Takeaways):The Great Commission Unawareness: A shocking 51% of US churchgoers have never heard the term "Great Commission," and only 17% fully understand its meaning (Barna).Generational Decline: Understanding of the Great Commission drops significantly with younger generations, posing a critical issue for the future of the church.Discipleship Disconnect: While 92% of churchgoers feel their church helps them grow, only 1% of pastors believe churches in general are doing "very well" at discipling new believers. Only 20% of Christian adults are involved in any formal discipleship.Evangelism Gap: 55% of regular churchgoers haven't shared how to become a Christian in the past 6 months, and over 50% of North American Christian leaders believe believers view the Great Commission as optional.Biblical Literacy Crisis: Many churchgoers lack basic biblical and doctrinal knowledge (e.g., 43% of evangelicals affirming Jesus was merely a great teacher, not God), hindering their ability to fulfill the Great Commission. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)Tithing vs. Mission: Awareness of tithing as a biblical command (77%) far surpasses understanding of the Great Commission (17%), suggesting a communication imbalance.Individual Responsibility: The episode emphasizes personal accountability for understanding the Great Commission, engaging in relational discipleship (2 Timothy 2:2), personal evangelism (1 Peter 3:15), and pursuing biblical literacy (2 Timothy 2:15).Actionable Steps: Seven crucial steps for every believer to address this crisis, from prioritizing personal understanding to bridging generational gaps.Hope and Urgency: Despite sobering statistics, the call is to awaken, repent, and refocus on the unchanging, urgent task of the Great Commission, for "the fields... are white already to harvest."

More than 60% of children who grow up in church will walk away from it in their young adult years, according to Barna. Why is this happening—and what can be done to reverse the trend? Dr. Josh Mulvihill, Executive Director of Church and Family Ministry at RenewaNation, joins us to unpack the root of the crisis: a breakdown in biblical discipleship. He shares a compelling vision for how families, churches, and schools can work together to raise children with resilient, gospel-centered worldviews—and why it starts with parents and grandparents reclaiming their God-given role's as the primary disciplers.Main Topics:The Discipleship Disconnect – Why many Christian parents now believe it's the church's job to disciple their kidsThe Three-Stranded Cord – How family, church, and education can align to build a strong biblical foundationThe Power of Grandparents – Why grandparents are overlooking their vital biblical role in passing down faith to future generationsRaising gospel-centered families isn't about perfection—it's about faithfulness, and the courage to make your home the frontlines of spiritual formation.Make a matching gift donation by June 10!View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Why Social Justice is Not Biblical Justice

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. According to Barna research, only 19% of Christian teens say they've personally been discipled in how to share their faith. That's right...less than one in five. And meanwhile, teens are navigating complex cultural conversations every day — conversations about identity, justice, truth — without knowing how to bring Jesus into them. And if we don't disciple them, the world will and already is. Discipling teens to share their faith isn't just a “nice-to-have.” It's essential. And they can absolutely be incredible witnesses for the Kingdom of God. 1 Timothy 4:12 says, “Don't let anyone look down on you because of your youth...” Let's equip the young people of our church, walk with them, answer their questions, and show them how to talk about their faith confidently.

Are we experiencing a spiritual revival—or facing a full-blown discipleship crisis in the American church? In this powerful conversation, renowned researcher Dr. George Barna shares alarming new data and challenges us to rethink how we measure spiritual health and make disciples in a post-Christian culture.Main TopicsThe Decline of Belief in the God of the BibleThe fastest-growing spiritual segment in America is now the “don'ts”—those who don't know, don't believe, or don't care if God exists.Barna reveals a 30-year decline in belief in the God of the Bible.Why Discipleship Metrics Are FailingMost churches track attendance, programs, and budgets—but not spiritual transformation.Barna outlines six biblical criteria for true discipleship based on Jesus' teachings.Only 1 in 10 born-again Christians actively disciples others.The Crucial Role of Children's Ministry and Worldview FormationA child's worldview is largely formed by age 13, starting as early as 15–18 months.Only 12% of children's pastors have a biblical worldview themselves.Barna's "Seven Cornerstones" research shows that rejecting even one foundational belief drops the likelihood of a biblical worldview from 83% to just 2%.What if the greatest threat to the church today isn't cultural hostility—but our failure to make true disciples?View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Learn More about the 2025 DNA Forum in Panama

Summary: In this conversation, Michael Easley and Dr. Adam Rasmussen discuss the alarming findings of a recent Barna study on the understanding of the Trinity among Americans, particularly within the Christian community. They explore the implications of these findings, the importance of teaching the doctrine of the Trinity, and the cultural influences that shape contemporary beliefs. The discussion emphasizes the need for a return to biblical literacy and the transformative power of understanding the Trinity in the life of believers. Ultimately, they offer hope for the future by encouraging a deeper engagement with scripture and a commitment to living out biblical principles in everyday life. TAKEAWAYS Only 11% of adults in America believe in the Trinity. 16% of self-identified church-going Christians embrace the Trinity. There is a dearth of teaching on the Trinity in local churches. Cultural influences are shaping the spiritual views of Americans. Many Christians are turning to secular figures for theological guidance. God loves to change culture through the church. The answer to societal ills is a return to God. We must experience God's love to effectively share it with others. ABOUT DR. ADAM RASMUSSEN Dr. Adam Rasmussen is a Fellow at the Cultural Research Center and the Dean of the College of Arts & Humanities at Arizona Christian University. He is a magna cum laude graduate of Northwestern College, where he earned a BA in history. He also holds an MA in Educational Ministries from Wheaton College, as well as a PhD in Educational Studies with a focus on leadership and administration from the Talbot School of Theology at Biola University.

South African police rescue kidnapped missionary, Australian judge protects boy from being “transitioned,” 27% of American adults say God does not exist

It's Thursday, April 17th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark South African police rescue kidnapped missionary Praise God! Police in South Africa rescued a U.S. missionary from his kidnappers on Monday. Pastor Josh Sullivan, age 34, was preaching at Fellowship Baptist Church in South Africa's Eastern Cape province last Thursday. That's when four masked gunmen broke into the church, dragged him out of the pulpit, and took him hostage in front of his wife and children. They demanded a ransom. Providentially, police were able to locate him and engaged in a shootout with the kidnappers, killing three of them. Sullivan was found inside the same car that the kidnappers were in, but he was "miraculously unharmed.” Before Sullivan had been rescued WBIR, Channel 10 in Knoxville, Tennessee interviewed Sullivan's father-in-law, David Witt. He knew that Sullivan would rely on Christ in the midst of his captivity. WITT: “There's no way I can imagine going through this without Jesus, Christ.” Remarkably, he was convinced that his son-in-law would share the Good News with his kidnappers. WITT: “Giving them the Gospel. The greatest thing that could ever happen is for one of those kidnappers to get saved.” The missionary's father-in-law explained that all Christians should emulate the heart of Christ on the cross. WITT: “He said, ‘Forgive them, for they know not what they do.' And we have to forgive the people that kidnapped our son-in-law because they don't know either.” Please keep Pastor Josh Sullivan, his family, and church in your prayers. Psalm 146:7 says it is God “who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free.” U.K. Supreme Court affirms two biological sexes Yesterday, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom ruled that a person's sex is based on biology.  The case began in 2018 when the Scottish government allowed the definition of “woman” to include men pretending to be women. Women's rights groups challenged the decision, going all the way to the U.K. Supreme Court. The high court's ruling keeps men, pretending to be women, out of spaces intended for women. This includes women-only changing rooms, homeless shelters, swimming areas, and medical or counseling services.   Australian judge protects boy from being “transitioned” In Australia, a family court judge has ruled to protect a child from transgender drugs. Judge Andrew Strum recently awarded custody of a 12-year-old boy to his father. The father opposed attempts by the mother to put the boy on puberty blockers. She had been grooming him to pretend to be a girl since age 6. The judge noted, “I do not accept that the child, at this age . . . can properly understand the implications and potential risks of puberty blockers.” The ruling is the first of its kind against transgenderism in the country.  Appearing on Sky News, Chris Merritt, the Legal Affairs Contributor for The Australian, was grateful that the judge protected this 12-year-old boy from puberty blockers. MERRITT: “Had the father believed the misdiagnosis his former wife had received that their son had suffered from gender dysphoria, there would be no role for the federal circuit and Family Court. There's a precedent that makes it clear that if both parents agree about a course of gender blocking treatment, it will go ahead without any further involvement of the court. But in this particular case, because the father objected, it found its way into court.” The legal analyst was especially appalled by the dramatic lack of evidence presented by the medical experts which would warrant attempting to feminize this boy through puberty blockers and estrogen supplements. MERRITT: “When the medical experts were subjected to a bit of cross examination and their evidence was tested quite rigorously, over a long period, huge flaws emerged. Some obvious causes of the boy's gender confusion were not pursued. If we've got a misdiagnosis in this case, based on what the judge said was evidence infected with ideology rather than facts, there could be other cases like this.” Arkansas protects kids from being placed with homosexual couples Arkansas Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed the Keep Kids First Act into law last Thursday. The law protects Christian adoption agencies from having to place children in homes that go against their religious beliefs. In essence, they can bypass homes featuring homosexual couples. The measures also protect such agencies from being targeted by the government for their beliefs.  Greg Chafuen with Alliance Defending Freedom celebrated the new law. He said, “Arkansas has taken the critical step to pass . . . the Keep Kids First Act, which prioritizes the well-being of kids by prohibiting state and local government officials from discriminating against adoption and foster care providers and parents simply because of their religious beliefs and moral convictions.” 71st Sanctuary City for the Unborn Last Tuesday, Mullin, Texas became the 71st city in the nation to declare itself a Sanctuary City for the Unborn. The Mullin City Council passed the ordinance unanimously. The measure prohibits elective abortions in the city limits as well as mailing abortion drugs into the city.  Pastor Randy Bradley of Mullin First Baptist Church commented, “I was moved by the willingness of our city council to take such a bold stand for the lives of the unborn. I am overjoyed at being part of a community which passed this ordinance unanimously.” 27% of American adults say God does not exist And finally, Dr. George Barna released his latest study on the worldview of Americans. The study found that 27 percent of U.S. adults claim the God of the Bible does not exist. However, over a third of those who dismiss God's existence said they would be completely open to being persuaded otherwise by someone they know and trust. Dr. Barna noted, “Having an established relationship in place with people facing a crisis goes a long way toward helping them to know God and place their trust in Him.” 1 Peter 3:15 says, “In your hearts, honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, April 17th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

What do you do when trust is shattered, but no one around you seems to take your pain seriously? In today's deeply honest and hope-filled episode, Leslie sits down with Nick Stumbo, former pastor and Executive Director of Pure Desire Ministries, who opens up about his personal battle with pornography—and the profound impact it had on his wife, his marriage, and his ministry. Nick's story isn't just one of addiction—it's about healing, honesty, and hope when everything seems lost. Together, Leslie and Nick dismantle toxic messaging that pressures wives to “just forgive” or “have more sex,” and instead offer a biblical and brain-based path toward real recovery—one that honors both the betrayed and the struggler. If you or someone you love is silently suffering in a marriage affected by pornography, this episode will remind you: You're not alone, and your healing matters.
