My 17 year old daughter Kaira just spoke at the national speech tournament in Minneapolis, where her speech was 10th in the nation. I thought she absolutely nailed the idea of family as a team, and the main tool she's seen our family use to truly create this as a reality in our multi-generational family. If you've ever wondered what our kids truly think about this stuff - if it actually lands with them and impacts them - I think this shows just how much they're picking up. Plus, it's a succinct and amazingly delivered argument for our number 1 tool that we recommend to all family teams.

Should we as Christian parents really aim to be kicking our kids out of our home as soon as they turn 18? This is an EXTREMELY cultural - not Biblical - idea, yet I meet SO many Christians who believe the lie. Instead of taking the 3 obvious milestones the Bible talks about when it comes to maturing children and our roles as mothers and fathers, we just swallow the cultural lie, hook, line, and sinker, and then wonder what went wrong. In this episode, we break down the actual lie, where it came from, and then give you the TRUTH of scripture to wield against a culture that wants to destroy families...in this case, especially by taking kids out of the home as quickly as possible and leaving no space for a multigenerational family to form.

Arguably the biggest hindrance to advancing Biblically aligned policy in Alaska has been the relentless willingness of a few Republican State Senators and House members to give power to the Democrats in exchange for leadership positions.Two of those legislators, Senator Gary Stevens and Representative Louise Stutes, both from Kodiak, have been leading that charge for a long time. It's been a tiring mantra. Elect Republican majorities. Democrats are put in authority.We now have a legitimate moment to change this trajectory.Gary Stevens is retiring and Louise Stutes is leaving the House to run for his Senate seat. Because she's been giving power to the Democrats just like he has, Stevens has endorsed her.But Stutes has a challenger. And he is gaining traction.Heath Smith, a former Homer City Council member, life long Alaskan and astute observer of what's wrong with our "bi-partisan" ineffective legislative caucuses, is on the show today. Senate District C includes Seward, Homer, Cordova, Ninilchik, Anchor Point and Kodiak among other communities but the implications of this critical Senate race have long term statewide implications.Hope you can join in on our conversation.Support the show

Money is one of the most practical—and spiritual—areas of our lives, yet it's often one of the least intentionally taught within the home.    In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Patti Garibay welcomes financial author and stewardship expert Matt Bell for an important conversation about raising girls who honor God with their finances. From everyday spending decisions to long-term financial planning, this episode explores how parents can disciple their daughters to think Biblically about money from an early age.    Together, Patti and Matt tackle some of the most common questions families face today: Is all debt bad, or is there a place for wise borrowing? How can parents help their daughters avoid the burden of overwhelming student loans? And what's the best way to teach financial responsibility—through cash, debit cards, or even credit?    This conversation also highlights the deeper heart behind financial stewardship. In a culture driven by consumption and comparison, girls need to learn contentment, discernment, and generosity. Matt shares how giving isn't just a financial practice—it's a spiritual discipline that helps shape a heart aligned with God's purposes.    Whether your daughter is just beginning to learn the value of money or preparing to step into adulthood, this episode will equip you with practical tools and Biblical encouragement to guide her toward a future marked by wisdom, responsibility, and faithful stewardship.    Because when girls understand that everything they have comes from God, they are better prepared to use it for His glory.    Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:    Matthew 6:21   Proverbs 21:5   Luke 16:10   1 Timothy 6:6–10   2 Corinthians 9:6–7   Proverbs 22:7    To learn more about Matt Bell, his work, and resources for Biblically wise financial stewardship for your family, visit mattaboutmoney.com     Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.         Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.

Falling behind on taxes can feel overwhelming. Maybe you missed one year, then another. Maybe a job change, a divorce, an illness, a death in the family, or a season of financial hardship made it hard to keep up. Or perhaps you started gig work, received a 1099 for the first time, and were surprised to discover that you owed more than expected. Whatever the reason, failing to file your taxes for several years is serious—but it is not the end of the road. The IRS would rather see you come back into compliance than continue avoiding the issue. The most important step is to begin. Kevin Cross has helped many people walk through this very situation, and his counsel is simple: don't panic, don't ignore it, and don't assume it's too late to get help. Start With the Current Year If you have not filed taxes in several years, your first instinct may be to go back to the earliest missed return and start there. But Kevin often recommends a different first step: filing the most recent tax year. The goal is to show the IRS that you are trying to come back into compliance. Filing the current year helps convey that this was not willful neglect but a season when something went wrong, and that you are now taking responsibility. The further behind you are, the harder it can feel to catch up. But beginning with the most recent return can give you a clear starting point and stop the pattern from continuing. Why People Fall Behind There are many reasons someone may stop filing taxes. Some are self-employed or gig workers who receive a 1099 and discover they owe thousands of dollars because taxes were not withheld throughout the year. Others fall behind after a divorce, death, disability, job loss, or another major life disruption. Since the COVID years, many people have also struggled to keep up with their tax responsibilities. Once one year is missed, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and avoid the next one, too. But avoidance only makes the problem heavier. The path forward begins with gathering information and getting the right help. Not Filing Is Different From Not Paying It is important to understand the difference between not filing and not paying. If you owe taxes, the April deadline matters. You can file an extension to extend the time to file your return, but that extension does not extend the time to pay any tax you owe. However, if you are due a refund, there is generally no penalty for filing late. But there is a time limit. If you wait too long—typically more than three years—you may lose the ability to claim that refund. Some people may not be required to file at all. For example, if Social Security is your only source of income, you generally do not need to file a federal tax return. But the challenge is that many people do not know whether they owe or not until their information is reviewed. Other income can change the picture, such as interest, dividends, retirement distributions, self-employment income, or the sale of a home. Even a home sale that qualifies for the primary residence capital gains exclusion may still need to be reported properly so the IRS understands why no tax is owed. Gather Your Wage and Income Transcripts One practical step is to request a wage and income transcript from the IRS. This transcript shows what the IRS has on file for you, including W-2s, 1099s, mortgage interest forms, retirement distributions, and other tax-related documents. You can request this through the IRS website. Searching for “IRS wage and income transcript” should take you to the right place. This can be especially helpful if you do not have all your old tax documents. It gives you a starting point for reconstructing the missing years. Work With a Qualified Tax Professional While you can download your transcripts yourself, you may not know what to do with them once you have them. IRS transcripts do not look like regular tax forms, and catching up after multiple missed years can involve more than simply filling out returns. That is why Kevin recommends working with a tax professional who understands tax representation and IRS procedures. A qualified CPA, enrolled agent, or tax professional can help determine which years need to be filed and how to communicate with the IRS. According to Kevin, the IRS typically focuses on the past six years when bringing a taxpayer back into compliance. That does not mean every situation is identical, but it does mean you should not simply assume you need to start with a very old return from decades ago. A knowledgeable professional can help you determine the proper path. The IRS Will Work With You Many people avoid filing because they are afraid of what they might owe. But the IRS has options for taxpayers who cannot pay everything at once. Depending on your situation, those options may include a payment plan or, in some cases, an offer in compromise. The key is to take the first step rather than remain silent. Ignoring the problem will not make it disappear. But taking action can begin to restore order, clarity, and peace of mind. A Faithful Step Forward Taxes may not be pleasant, but handling them honestly is part of faithful stewardship. Romans 13:7 says, “Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed.” If you have fallen behind, do not let shame keep you stuck. Begin with the next faithful step. Gather your documents. Request your transcripts. File the current year. Then find a qualified tax professional who can help you walk through the rest.

On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I have about $18,000 in credit card debt. I may have the opportunity to work in Alaska's fishing industry for three months and earn enough to pay it off quickly. Should I contact Christian Credit Counselors before I go, or wait to see how much progress I can make during those three months? I have a Thrift Savings Plan and plan to retire within the next five years. I was told I could roll over part of my TSP into something that would protect the principal, keep it from going down, and still leave my TSP open for contributions. Is that wise, and is it really guaranteed not to lose value? I'm 59 and have contributed to my company's traditional 401(k) for years, with a 50% employer match. I'm near the end of my career and likely at my highest income level. Should I keep contributing to the traditional 401(k), or would a Roth option make more sense? I've been studying the Bible for just over a year and recently began tithing. I want to honor the Lord faithfully, but I'm not sure where the tithe should go. Biblically, who should receive it?

99% of the Evangelical Christian world gets this wrong, and it's absolutely destroying our families. We've fallen into the trap of thinking of the family in secular terms, instead of looking at the Bible and asking what God's vision was for the family, since HE created it. In this episode I break down 3 of the main critiques against the modern family, and go into the 3 promises of building your family like a TEAM instead of a group of individuals.

In a world that often pits logic against emotion, we are frequently taught that our feelings cannot be trusted. Many faith circles suggest that the ultimate fix for emotional struggle is to suppress our anxiety or sadness and simply declare biblical truth over ourselves. But is that how our minds—or our faith—were actually designed to function? Today we'll explore how emotions and truth work together in our brains and how to be both Biblically literate as well as relationally equipped. 

Your soul is vital, and sometimes, it needs to be reset back to factory settings. Psalm 23 says a good Shepherd has to occasionally lead you to a place where your soul can be restored, a place of green pastures, still waters, and lying down. Why does a soul need restoring? Because you may have to walk through seasons of grief, have people who hurt you or just generally get beat up by the trials of life. Proverbs 4:23 — another famous verse — tells us to guard our hearts and says that it determines the course of your life. Biblically, your heart is your soul, which encompasses your mind, will, and emotions. If it is so important, why does the church only talk about saving souls rather than guarding or restoring souls? This week, we’re starting a new series about mental health called It Is Well With My Soul.

Biblically, when we have wronged someone, we have a debt to them. David had to be shown his sin. How do we react when God shows us our hearts? Do we repent? Confess? Or do we deny what He has shown us? Listen as Messianic Rabi Jeff Zaremsky shares from the Bible how David dealt with hearing his wrongs!

We strengthen the church when we Biblically care for one another

Don’t think for yourself. I realize that sounds very backwards. How could it be right not to think for yourself? I certainly don’t mean we should allow others to think for us. That’s not what I’m saying. That’s just as dangerous or more so than thinking for ourselves. But when you and I understand the importance our thoughts play in our lives, then we start to understand how critical it is for us to think correctly. Our thought life is the place where everything else begins. Our actions begin with thoughts; our words begin with thoughts; our attitudes are formed by thoughts; our emotions are controlled by our thoughts. As we are reminded in Proverbs 23:7, what we think is what we are. Therefore, we need to be very certain we are thinking right! In order to think correctly, we’ve got to formulate our thoughts based on truth, based on someone we can trust, based on principles which are right and good. Now, I’d like to think I can trust my own self to think correctly, but the more I get to know me and the more I understand my human nature, the more I realize I am not qualified to think for myself. The Bible says in my own natural flesh there dwells nothing good of itself. I know I’m inclined to sin, inclined to be selfish, inclined to take the easy way out, etc. And besides the problem of the sinfulness of my nature, there are the limitations of my understanding and wisdom, which can cause me to think incorrectly if I think for myself. Therefore, if I try to delude myself into believing I’m capable of thinking for myself, I’ll discover it leads me into some real difficulties. Instead of “Think for yourself,” our motto should be “Think biblically!” Then and only then can we be certain our thinking is right, because the Bible is God’s truth, and the only reliable source for us. People who claim to think for themselves rarely do just that. When you see someone rebelling against their parents, or against rules and regulations or authority of some kind, or going off into some deep end, they often use the excuse “I’m thinking for myself and nobody’s going to tell me how to think anymore.” But what’s really happening is they are allowing some other person or group to tell them how to think instead of the ones who have been influencing their thinking up to that point. Rarely are they truly thinking for themselves. Don’t be misled by the attractiveness of this commonly-held belief that we should think for ourselves. It certainly appeals to our proud human nature, but it leads us to place a confidence in our ability to think correctly. The sad news is most of us don’t always think correctly on our own. We are all influenced by the world around us, the attitudes of others, the majority viewpoint, and in addition, our thought life is polluted by our own sinful nature. Add all that up, and you realize not only is it dangerous to think for ourselves, it’s also fairly impossible, for our thinking is inevitably a result of other influences. For Christians, we need to be certain our thinking is shaped by the Word of God and that we are influenced by what God has to say. There was one particular occasion in Peter’s life when he was thinking for himself, and the Lord rather sharply rebuked him for it. The story is found in Matthew 16 where Jesus is explaining it is necessary for him to be killed. Peter didn’t like that idea, so we read that Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!” Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.” (Matthew 16:22-23) In Peter’s mind, it would have been a total catastrophe if Jesus were killed. That wasn’t the plan at all, as Peter saw it. So, controlled by his human way of thinking, Peter began to rebuke Jesus; we’d say he gave him a “piece of his mind.” Unfortunately, by doing that, Peter demonstrated that his mind was under the wrong control and influence. In fact, Jesus said Peter had become an instrument of Satan by even suggesting Calvary was not necessary. Satan wants to control all our thinking, because he knows we are controlled by our thought life. Therefore, keeping us from thinking biblically is one of his primary objectives. Who is influencing your thinking today? Modern humanistic philosophies? People who are not godly? Ideas and attitudes that have been passed on to you by friends or family who don’t know the Lord? Even other Christians who are not thinking biblically? Check it out. Whatever controls or influences how you think is, in reality, controlling you to some degree. Romans 12 tells us we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. In 2 Corinthians 10:5, we read we are to bring every thought into captivity, not let our thoughts run wild and free. Learning to think biblically should be the highest priority for every Christian. An obvious question is “What is biblical thinking?” Philippians 4:8 is a good place to start. It clearly defines what we should think about, and here’s the list: Things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. Now, I’d like to mention some areas of wrong thinking which don’t meet these criteria. Have you noticed how often we can start imagining what may or may not happen in the future? I can find myself playing out a whole scenario in my mind of the worst-case possibilities, and before I know it, I’m really worried and upset over what might happen to me. That is untruthful thinking; it is imagining the future and allowing those imaginations to cause me to be fearful. Many Christians have started to think very lightly of immorality because immoral lifestyles have become acceptable in our society. Someone was describing a movie to me and commented that a couple in the movie was having an affair, but this person noted it wasn’t the usual sordid kind of affair; it was a tender, more genteel kind. That’s an example of allowing the morals of our culture to invade our mind and cause us to think unbiblically. Any kind of affair should be viewed as impure and wrong by a person who is thinking biblically. Honesty is another area that has been under heavy attack in our society over the last few years. People tend to think of lying as relative; in other words, the situation determines whether it’s right or wrong to lie. And there’s the idea that little lies don’t really do any harm. I notice a great deal of our entertainment treats lying humorously. With all that around us, it’s easy for us to think about lying and honesty in unbiblical ways. How about it? Can you see some areas in your own life where your thinking has been influenced by the world around you, and you’ve lost your biblical mind? Part of the great gift of God to us when we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior is the presence of God’s Holy Spirit living within us, and therefore, Paul says, we have the mind of Christ. That means we’re able to think like Jesus thinks. In order to think biblically, we must first of all have this mind of Christ within us. You can’t think biblically without the power of the Holy Spirit. Then, we must learn to carefully control what we allow into our minds, for the input determines the output. The computer world has taught us if you put garbage in, you get garbage out! Only as we feed our minds with the right things can we expect to think biblically. We will think about what we read, what we hear, and what we see, so if we are hearing, reading and seeing things that are not in conformity to biblical principles, obviously we’re going to think wrongly. You can fail miserably if you allow all kinds of immorality and impurity to be poured into your mind through television, videos, books, movies, podcasts, etc. It takes careful screening of the input into our minds in order to think biblically. It also takes what I call the Replacement Theory. When we start to think wrongly, and we know we should change, we must be able to replace the wrong thought with the right one. It’s almost impossible to just stop thinking about something, but if you start thinking about something else, then you can be successful at replacing the wrong thought with the right thought. That takes a set of your will to say: “I will not think about this any longer; I will think instead of this.” Many times, I actually talk out loud to myself and say, “Come on, Mary, you know you shouldn’t think about that. Now, stop it and think about this instead.” I can tell you the Replacement Theory works! There’s so much more to say about right thinking. In fact, I’ve written a book entitled Think About What You Think About. You'll find more information about it on our website, or you can order it from Amazon. I believe it will help you to learn how to think biblically, and if I can help you do that, I’ve done you a very big favor. Remember, thinking for yourself can get you into lots of difficulty. But thinking biblically will enable you to make good choices, right decisions, live a godly life, and know the peace and contentment that comes from right thinking. Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace (Romans 8:5-6). Biblically thinking guarantees us life and peace. I’d say the return on your investment is very profitable, and I encourage you to join me in a daily commitment to think biblically.

The family compound... This is such a hot button topic, and often a very emotional topic. So, we decided to look at 2 competing visions (Willie Robertson vs. Dave Ramsey) and break them down with a nuanced conversation. Jeremy and Jeff have experienced this first-hand, so they're talking about this from lived experience and hard-earned wisdom. Should you actually try to build a family compound? Why or why not? What questions should you answer first? How do you know if it'll be a good idea? Listen to this and see how close the tear-jerking dream is to reality for your family.

In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden continue their Genesis series with a conversation that feels especially relevant in today's world: what does it actually mean to "steward the earth" as a Christian family?  Starting in Genesis 1:28, Rachael and Melissa unpack the idea of dominion—not as domination or destruction, but as thoughtful care, cultivation, and responsibility. Using the simple but powerful analogy of gardening, Rachael paints a picture of stewardship as tending, nurturing, and bringing order to what God has created. It's a perspective shift that invites both moms and daughters to see the environment not as a burden to fix, but as a gift to faithfully manage.  As cultural conversations around climate and environmental responsibility grow louder, this episode offers a grounded, Biblical response. Melissa introduces the concept of climate activism and acknowledges the good intentions behind it, while also pointing listeners back to a greater truth: this earth is a temporary home, and our ultimate hope is anchored in God's promise of a new heaven and a new earth. That hope doesn't lead to neglect—it leads to peace-filled, purposeful action.  Through the Raising Godly Girls Minute, Patti Garibay reminds us that God works through ordinary people to accomplish His extraordinary plan. And that includes how we care for His creation. When we teach our girls to observe the world around them—really see it—we begin cultivating hearts that appreciate, respect, and responsibly steward what God has made.  This episode is filled with practical, doable ways to live this out as a family—from picking up trash at a local park to planting a garden to simply slowing down and noticing God's handiwork. Because when girls learn to love creation, they naturally begin to care for it.  Most importantly, this conversation helps parents anchor environmental stewardship in truth—not fear. We are not responsible for saving the world. We are called to faithfully care for what God has entrusted to us, trusting Him with the outcome.    Three Things to Remember:  Focus on what you can do—small, hands-on actions help combat overwhelm and build joyful responsibility.   Stewardship is about cultivating and caring for God's creation, not controlling it.   Anchor your perspective in eternity—the God who created the world is the One who will restore it.     Scriptures Referenced:  Genesis 1–2   Genesis 1:28   Revelation 21–22    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.   Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.      

What if your ministry could share the gospel with someone in a closed country at 2 a.m. — in their heart language — without a single missionary present? Jake Carlson, founder of The Apologist Project, is already doing it. In this session from the Digital Ministry Conference 2026, Jake shares how conversational AI is becoming a force multiplier for the Great Commission — and why the parable of the talents applies directly to how your ministry approaches this technology.Key TakeawaysAI can meet seekers where they are — geographically, linguistically, and spiritually. Over two-thirds of the world's population is online, and The Apologist Project's conversational AI is available in 192 languages, covering approximately 99% of the globe — including the ability to embed small language models onto devices that can be brought into closed countries.People open up to AI in ways they often won't with other humans. Jake explains that without fear of judgment or being tracked, seekers — especially those in restricted regions — are far more willing to ask honest spiritual questions through an AI interface than in person.Biblically grounded content is what makes the difference. The Apologist Project doesn't just use any AI model — it curates a trusted library of ministry content (including partnerships with Got Questions Ministries and Ligonier Ministries) to ensure every response is anchored in biblical truth, no matter what the user asks.Contextualization is built in. Jake describes a version of their chatbot specifically designed for Muslim seekers, which draws on Quranic verses alongside biblical truth to meet users at their starting point and gently guide them toward Jesus.AI can identify where a seeker is spiritually — and respond accordingly. The platform uses AI to evaluate conversations against frameworks like the Engel Scale to expose the right next step — whether that's a resource, a follow-up contact, or a crisis hotline for sensitive conversations.Real traction, real impact.

Today's world is conditioned toward offence. Sensitivity has increased while resilience has decreased. Individuals are trained to react, to interpret words personally, and to elevate emotional response above objective truth. Offence is now expected, defended, and often celebrated. Scripture presents the opposite model. Have you recently decided to follow Jesus?

Aliens, UFOs, UAPs, and the unseen realm.In this message from Tell Me More About…, Pastor Aaron Pennington helps us approach one of the most talked-about topics of our time through a Biblical lens. Instead of responding with fear, obsession, or dismissal, followers of Jesus are called to think spiritually and Biblically.Scripture teaches that we live in both a physical and spiritual world. Because of that, we need discernment, wisdom, and a deep grounding in God's Word so we aren't easily deceived.This message is a reminder that no matter what conversations are happening in culture, our hope stays fixed on Jesus.

In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt is joined by Pastor Tim Alsbaugh to talk about how honor, a system of value and respect, is the currency of heaven. Honor involves recognizing that people are made in the image of God and viewing them with eternal value. Biblically, we see how honor is a foundational principle for receiving spiritual favor and blessing. Rabbi and Pastor Tim share how to live honorably by…Leading by exampleChoosing compassion over egoRefusing to be driven by pride and self-promotion Join Rabbi and Pastor Tim as they share practical ways to cultivate a lifestyle of honor, how honor functions as a seed, and lead in a prayer of revelation to walk in your true value as God's son or daughter.

4:16 - Daniel 9:26, What does 'flood' mean here? / 12:00 - I have a friend who is a new Christian who vehemently hates zionists. What should I do? / 26:17 - How does God want us to worship? / 42:14 - Who hears the Angels' warning against taking the Mark of the Beast? / 45:05 - Can you remarry Biblically?

This one is all about that attitude of gratitude. We're going way beyond forcing our cherubs to say 'thank you', this is a deep dive into raising our children to have thankful hearts. Scientifically proven and Biblically approved... Thankful kids are happier kids. Fact!Dr Anika is back and this one is her favourite topic. She takes us on the three step gratitude journey: See it!  Savour it! Say it! Ed is doing it in an Aussie accent, Amy can do it with just a glass of water and Anika is riffing off the sound of music, while her dog wees under the stars.And our favourite line, "Every good thing comes from God with a label that says 'I love you'". Anika lives in Cambridge with her husband Matt, their six children and lively chocolate labrador. She works as a pastoral counsellor and tutors for Biblical Counselling UK. Having previously worked as a doctor she is now training in child and adolescent psychotherapeutic counselling. In her spare time she likes to crochet or write poetry. Find out more about Looking to God: Mental Wellbeing in the Psalms.

There's a constant stream of noise surrounding pornography—competing voices offering data, opinions, and solutions. Some emphasize brain science and addiction; others point to its ties to sex trafficking or the unraveling of social values. Cultural shifts in dating, along with rising levels of fear, anxiety, shame, and inner turmoil, only add to the confusion. It's like trying to tune an old analog radio—how do we separate the signal from all the static? How do we find wisdom, not just more information? This tension matters because the fight against porn addiction begins in the mind. How you think about what's happening shapes the practical steps you take to address it.

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend—it is a sacred invitation to remember.    In this special episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Natalie Ambrose welcomes Tim Barton of WallBuilders to explore the deeper meaning behind Memorial Day and how Christian families can approach patriotism with both gratitude and responsibility. In a culture where love of country can sometimes feel politically charged or divisive, this conversation offers a balanced, Biblically grounded perspective on Christian citizenship.    Together, they reflect on lessons from America's history, the faith convictions that shaped our nation's founding principles, and why the freedoms we enjoy today were purchased with profound sacrifice. Tim shares practical ways families can honor fallen military heroes this Memorial Day weekend—helping daughters understand that freedom is not merely a right to enjoy, but a responsibility to steward with humility, courage, and compassion.    As parents, we are shaping the next generation of women who will live as citizens of heaven while engaging faithfully in their earthly communities. This episode will equip you to raise girls who are grateful for liberty, mindful of sacrifice, and committed to living out their faith with conviction and grace.      Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:    John 15:13  Romans 13:1–7  Micah 6:8  1 Peter 2:16–17  Matthew 5:14–16      To learn more about Tim's work at wallbuilders.com    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.     

Siblings who don't get along is one of the major reasons why families don't have more kids. It drives everyone nuts, disrupts the family, makes you feel overwhelmed, and eventually leads adults who SHOULD be best friends to be essentially strangers. That's why one of the main components of building a family team is creating strong sibling bonds between each one of your kids. Today's guests have 5 children and have been very intentional about creating systems and rhythms in their family that grow the relationship between each sibling. Learn their 3 techniques for building strong sibling bonds that lead to a more peaceful home and lifelong closeness between your kids.

Season 2, Episode 110In this episode, Michael and Zach begin a biblical examination of spiritual warfare by asking a foundational question: what does the New Testament actually command Christians to do when facing spiritual opposition? While affirming the reality of demons, temptation, and spiritual conflict, the discussion focuses on the difference between descriptive passages—such as Jesus casting out demons in the Gospels—and the prescriptive instructions given to ordinary believers in the Epistles.The conversation centers heavily on passages like Ephesians 6, James 4, 1 Peter 5, and 2 Corinthians 10, exploring how Scripture consistently frames spiritual warfare around truth, holiness, faith, prayer, repentance, and Spirit-led obedience. Michael and Zach walk through the armor of God, the battle for the mind, resisting the devil through submission to God, and the ongoing conflict against the world, the flesh, and spiritual deception.The episode also addresses common modern misunderstandings surrounding spiritual warfare, including obsessive demon-focused practices, blaming personal sin entirely on Satan, and seeking extra-biblical techniques not commanded in Scripture. Rather than portraying spiritual warfare primarily as dramatic confrontation, the New Testament presents it as the ordinary but serious Christian battle to stand firm in Christ, put sin to death, cling to truth, and walk faithfully by the Spirit. The believer who daily resists temptation, renews his mind, and perseveres in obedience is engaging in genuine spiritual warfare.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/6yreFedqU7oMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee discusses how far any of us can be pushed, in terms of our theology and the subjects we can engage with. There is no doubting that in the mid-to-late 2020s, too many Messianic people are behind the curve, in too many areas. How can we be better equipped, to better navigate some of the external controversies and internal plurality, which will be building?

What does the Bible actually say about anxiety… and could one of the simplest things God designed the human body to do help bring peace to your mind and emotions? In this episode, Bryan Cutshall explores the biblical and practical connection between anxiety, the body, and the power of movement. Through Scripture, personal insight, and practical understanding of how the body responds to stress, this teaching reveals why walking can become a powerful tool in overcoming fear, emotional paralysis, and mental exhaustion. Why does the Bible repeatedly connect faith with walking? Could forward motion physically, mentally, and spiritually help break cycles of anxiety and fear? Most people think of anxiety as only a mental struggle, but this teaching explains how anxiety affects the body, soul, and spirit. Bryan Cutshall explores how stress hormones, tension, overthinking, isolation, and emotional exhaustion all work together to create anxiety, while also showing how God designed the body to respond to movement, fresh air, sunlight, and intentional action. This episode examines the biblical meaning behind passages like “walk through the valley of the shadow of death” and “walk by faith, not by sight,” while explaining the physical and emotional benefits of walking. Bryan Cutshall discusses how movement helps regulate breathing, calm the nervous system, release endorphins, reduce stress hormones, and break the mental “freeze cycle” that often keeps people trapped in fear and overthinking. More than a discussion about mental health, this teaching is a reminder that God designed the human body with healing principles built into it and that peace often comes not only through information, but through practice. From walking with God in the cool of the day to learning how motion changes emotion, this episode encourages believers to keep moving forward in faith, trust God through difficult seasons, and discover practical ways to experience greater peace and emotional clarity. 00:00 Introduction: Anxiety Is Becoming an Epidemic 00:38 Anxiety Is More Than a Mental Battle 01:28 Walking Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death 02:15 Why Walking Helps Anxiety 03:00 Burning Off Stress Hormones and Regulating Breathing 03:58 How Walking Calms the Brain 04:39 Why Movement Cleanses the Body 05:37 Breaking the Anxiety “Freeze Cycle” 06:32 How Walking Helps Depression 07:43 Anxiety Affects the Body, Soul, and Spirit 08:56 Why Entertainment Cannot Heal Anxiety 10:00 Motion Changes Your Emotion 10:44 Walking Restores Control and Changes Your Chemistry 11:30 The First Thing God Did With Adam and Eve 12:05 Walking With God in the Cool of the Day 12:40 Peace Comes Through Practice, Not Just Information 13:08 Walk by Faith and Fear No Evil

In this episode, Brooke and I dive into a struggle so many Christian women share: feeling disconnected from their bodies, overwhelmed in their lives, and genuinely unsure why their health is suffering. What often shows up: Constant stress and urgency Snapping at loved ones Poor health or confusing symptoms Feeling unable to slow down The root issue isn't just physical, it's a whole-person misalignment. Why "Healthy" Efforts Aren't Working So many women are trying: Diet changes Supplements Exercise plans But still feel stuck. The missing piece? The "why" behind the dysfunction. Your body responds to: Chronic stress Emotional wounds Spiritual disconnection Without addressing those, surface-level fixes just won't last. Living in Survival Mode A key theme we talk about is the nervous system. So many women are stuck in fight-or-flight, which looks like: Everything feeling urgent Inability to rest Constant distraction Burnout and irritability Your body was designed to handle stress briefly, not live in it daily. When it does, both physical and emotional health begin to decline. Emotions Are Signals Instead of suppressing emotions, Brooke reframes them as signals: Anger → often rooted in fear Anxiety → often tied to overload Irritation → unmet needs Learning to name emotions helps calm your body and understand what's really happening. Biblically, emotions aren't sinful, they're human. Even Jesus experienced deep grief and distress. The goal isn't to avoid emotion, but to remain obedient within it. Connection Before Correction This applies to both parenting and personal growth. Instead of immediately fixing behavior: Pause Attune Understand When you feel seen (and help others feel seen), real change becomes possible. Why You Feel Overwhelmed The issue often isn't effort, it's capacity. Your nervous system determines how much you can handle. If it's overwhelmed, adding more habits only makes things worse. Healing expands your capacity over time so you can handle life differently, even if your responsibilities don't change. The Work That Changes You Real transformation requires deeper work: Processing emotions Facing past wounds Letting go of control Surrendering to God It's not easy, but it leads to lasting peace and clarity. Getting Back Into Alignment So many women are living out of order: Work and responsibilities first God and self last True alignment looks like: God Family Self-care Everything else When God is first, everything else begins to fall into place. Self-Care Isn't Selfish Neglecting yourself leads to burnout and disconnection. Taking care of yourself allows you to: Show up fully for others Respond instead of react Live with more peace and joy You weren't designed to run on empty. Final Takeaway Your body, mind, and spirit are connected. Healing starts when you: Slow down Pay attention Process what's beneath the surface Reorder your life around God It's not about doing more. It's about living aligned.
