Podcast appearances and mentions of Billy Graham

I used to work with our high school football team quite a bit, and their practices were in full swing. And I was talking with one of the soon to be freshman football players, and he said, "Ron, it seems like just yesterday we were having our first practices back in the summer." And I talked to some seniors, and then they said, "Ron, weren't we just freshmen? How did we get here so fast?" Well, another friend's daughter was getting ready to make a decision about college, and he said, "It just seemed like yesterday that she needed my hand even to go anywhere outside the yard." You know this feeling? And then I heard a pastor not long ago who was soon to turn 60, and he said, "You know, when I was 16, 60 seemed like forever; seemed like it was so far off. It was just yesterday I was 16 and saying that." I think we all know about this, huh? Billy Graham said when he was asked what the biggest surprise of his life was, he said, "The brevity of it." I guess it's somewhere early in our teenage years that we realize that time is limited. Time seems to, like, hit the accelerator and it never looks back, never slows down. Months and years fly by like months used to fall off the calendars in those old movies. The speed of sound and the speed of light have a companion called the speed of time. And when you realize the speed at which your life is racing by, you don't just watch it happen. You do something about it. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "No Days to Waste." It's been a theme with us this week. I think it's important, very much on my heart. It comes from our word for today from the Word of God, and it comments on the flyingness of time. It's in Psalm 90. It goes back to at least when the psalmist wrote and said in verse 10, "The length of our days is 70 years, 80 if we have the strength. They quickly pass and we fly away." But in verse 12 (a favorite of mine), he comes up with a flight plan for when time is flying. He says, "Teach us to number our days aright that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Ephesians 5:16 tells us to "make the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." It's kind of like the psalmist is saying, "That life that seemed so long is really so short." It's given to us in something called days. He said, "Our days are flying by." "Teach us to number our days." Now, life seems to come sometimes as sort of this, you know, dull routine pace. The days just sort of slip by and then the days become weeks, and weeks become months, and we don't know where they went. There's no plan; there's no thought. They're sort of this plodding cycle. But this is a call from the Scripture to have no wasted days. Smart living makes each 24 hours matter. Older people wake up one day in their life and wish they could have their days back. And you may still have a lot of years ahead. Hey, capture them now. Awaken each morning with an awareness that this 24 hours is a gift not to be wasted, never to be lived again. You say, "Well, I've got school, or work, or traffic, or errands." That's not the wise way to live. There are people who need you, opportunities to see God at work in your every day. A chance to give love. A chance to receive love. And nowhere is time more precious than investing in your family. This is a building block; this day that will either bring you closer to God and His will or farther from it. "This is the day the Lord has made." Don't just dedicate your life to Him, dedicate this 24 hours. When you fly a plane you don't just cruise wherever you feel like. You file a flight plan of where you're going. As you face time flying by, file a flight plan for that day; seize that day. Don't just let that day happen to you. Pray for it, plan for it, make it count. Well used days may fly by just as fast, but they'll land you where you want to land.

5, 2, or 1? How many talents has the Lord given each of us? Regardless of our age, or wealth, or experience, God asks us each to use what He has given us to the fullest. Fr. Jim reminds us of what Billy Graham said, "You never retire from the Lord's work." Listen to Fr. Jim's inspiring words to learn how simple actions can have a lasting impact on the world.from Matthew 25:14-30Jesus told his disciples this parable:"A man going on a journeycalled in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them.To one he gave five talents; to another, two; to a third, one--to each according to his ability. Then he went away.Immediately the one who received five talents went and traded with them,and made another five.Likewise, the one who received two made another two. But the man who received one went off and dug a hole in the groundand buried his master's money. ...Read the full Gospel here: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/111923.cfmHeart to Heart Catholic Media MinistryInspire Believers.

Jonah 3 Who is the greatest evangelist of all time? Is it Billy Graham, Ray Comfort, or D.L. Moody? The Apostle Paul, or Barnabas? There are so many people we've never heard of, but who have reached whole tribes and nations with the Gospel. History has forgotten their names, but heaven hasn't. Most of the time, we reach others in small numbers and unremarkable ways. Whether a person preaches to millions or just a few, one thing is undeniable: God is the only real Evangelist - even when he uses us, he is the preparer, the messenger, and the message itself!

M ore people have left the church in the last twenty-five years than all the new people who became Christians from the First Great Awakening, Second Great Awakening, and Billy Graham crusades combined." This is a quote from a book called The Great Dechurching that Chris Dew shared today.  As we wrap up our series through the book of James, Chris shares that we all know someone who has wandered away from the church.  But instead of simply accepting that, we should instead be pursuing the person who has wandered away from the church just like Jesus pursues the lost sheep that wandered away from the flock.Join us for Sunday service at the historic Capitol Theatre at 10:30 am or online at 10:30 am. If you are a new believer, we would love to send you a few resources.

Si hay un año en que era evidente que la juventud se había vuelto al cristianismo es 1971, según el reportaje que sirvió de portada a la revista Time –el principal semanario de información general en Estados Unidos desde 1923–, bajo el título de “La Revolución por Jesús”. Aunque revistas como “Rolling Stone” observa ya desde el año anterior la continua presencia de “Locos por Jesús” (Jesus Freaks) en todo el país, es ahora cuando el gran público americano se hace consciente de la presencia de los que el editor de “Christianity Today”, Carl Henry, llamó “hippies evangélicos”. 1971 es también el año del fenómeno de “Jesucristo Superstar”, la ópera rock estrenada entonces en Broadway. La obra de Andrew Lloyd Webber fue un intento de aprovechar la popularidad de la Gente de Jesús. La escribe Tim Rice para el teatro, antes de que Norman Jewison hiciera la película en 1973. Se estrenó en Nueva York después de grabarse el disco con Ian Gillan de Deep Purple como cantante. Curiosamente, el protagonista de la obra de teatro Jeff Fenholt (1950-2019) tuvo luego una conversión que recibió mucha publicidad por los tele-evangelistas que lo presentaban como cantante de Black Sabbath, relacionado con el ocultismo. Desde el principio se enfrenta a la oposición de religiosos, tanto cristianos como judíos. Para los primeros, su visión de un Jesús meramente humano fue recibida como blasfema e irreverente, pero para la industria del entretenimiento no hay mala publicidad: “¡Qué hablen de ti, aunque sea mal!” Lo sorprendente es que el evangelista Billy Graham la utilizara para introducir, positivamente, la pregunta de quién es Jesús en sus predicaciones durante las campañas de 1971. Escuchamos la voz del predicador hablando del Superstar en un sermón en Chicago en 1971, después de oír la canción de Judas a la que hace referencia, pero en la versión española de Teddy Bautista. Hablamos también sobre 1971 con el mayor historiador de la Revolución por Jesús, Larry Eskridge, cuya investigación ha publicado la Universidad de Oxford. Los comentarios de José de Segovia tienen la música de fondo de Stanley Turrentine, Bob James e Isaac Hayes. Las canciones son "1971" del grupo actual de alabanza de las comunidades de Silo y "Bienaventurados" del disco del grupo Lazarus en aquel año.

“I LOOKED OVER MY SHOULDER, AND THERE HE WAS, FACE DOWN, INSIDE OUR GATED LOCKED POOL……HE WAS LIFELESS, HIS FACE WAS BLUE……”“THE DOCTOR CAME IN AND TOLD US THERE WAS ZERO PERCENT CHANCE OF HIS BRAIN EVER FUNCTIONING RIGHT AGAIN……”I warn you, this is not an easy episode to listen to, and you will cry just like I did.This week you're going to hear the emotional and tragic story of country music superstar GRANGER SMITH.Every parent's worst nightmare came true for Granger and his wife, Amber, in 2019 when their son, River, drowned in a pool accident, plunging Granger and his family into a world of deep despair.But his story is also about a man finding a path of REDEMPTION AND PURPOSE after a spiritual encounter, leaving the music business behind to pursue a future in ministry, which Granger details in his recently released book, Like a River: Finding the Faith and Strength to Move Forward After Loss and Heartache.Although losing his child is a difficult story to hear, Granger's story is also about FAITH, HOPE, and finding PEACE after your world has been turned upside down.Since that moment, he has sought ANSWERS to the most profound questions in life, taking him in new directions he never could have imagined.Above all else, our hour spent together is a deep discussion of how GOD impacts our lives in ways we can't begin to understand until we're going through challenging times.From these times, one of the great LESSONS OF LIFE is that when rising from the worst of all imaginable tragedies, we are often reborn…And just like Granger Smith, we find our TRUE LIFE'S PURPOSE as part of our healing process.

Pastor Greg Laurie delivers a message on spiritual growth from Joshua 14. He reminds us of Caleb, a man who started and ended his spiritual race well! Notes: “What has been the greatest surprise of your life? ‘The brevity of it,”' said Billy Graham. Philippians 3:13–14 Keep moving forward spiritually—the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. “The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places.” Psalm 16:6 It doesn't matter if we've held first for the first laps; we must finish! Acts 20:24 Caleb started and finished well, never losing his spiritual edge! We are to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We are to pray that both Palestinians and Jews will come to Christ. Joshua 14:11–12 Where did Caleb get this strength, stamina, and longevity? Read: Joshua 14:7–8 We must wholeheartedly follow the Lord (six times in the Bible we learn that Caleb wholeheartedly followed). The majority group did not see God for who He is, only problems. The minority group (Joshua and Caleb) saw God for who He is, and also saw the obstacles and challenges, but they also saw opportunities and great victories if they would attack. To have spiritual longevity and finish well, you don't follow the crowd. Caleb, who wholeheartedly followed the Lord, had principles … being more concerned with God's approval than mans! To have spiritual longevity, you must take God at His Word! Remember that God's delays are not necessarily His denials. To have spiritual longevity, you must fight to the very end, as the Christian life is one of constant growth and learning. It is taking on new challenges and looking for new opportunities. Spiritual battle rages to the end of your life. “I (Caleb) am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me.” Joshua 14:11 It was the first love Caleb maintained, causing him to not lose his first strength. “Give me this mountain!” Joshua 14:12 Jesus Christ is coming again, so let's be busy doing the Lord's work. We are to remember Jesus at the communion table. 1 Corinthians 11:26 --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 3rd of November, 2023, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. I want to speak to you this morning about probably the greatest and the most powerful weapon every Christian has at their disposal. We go to James 5:16: "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." You know, they asked Dr Billy Graham, probably the greatest of all modern-day evangelists, what was the secret of his success? He said words to the effect, "First, it was prayer, secondly, it was prayer, and thirdly, it was prayer." Oh, my friend, why do we always leave it to the last before we pray? We try everything else, don't we? Then, when it doesn't work we say, "Well, let's pray." I want to tell you that prayer is a supernatural weapon against the powers of darkness, sickness and disease. Prayer means so much to me that if there is no prayer cover at a meeting where I am invited to speak, I will decline the invitation. "God is not looking for great people but for people who will dare to prove the greatness of their God." A.W. Simpson said that. You see, it is the prayer of faith which moves the hand of God, not prayer, the prayer of faith. Jesus Himself, prayed more than He spoke. He taught His disciples in Matthew 6 how to pray. Prayer must become a lifestyle, my friend. It's not just spending a few minutes in prayer; you pray all day, and you pray in every situation. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to pray without ceasing. Now, remember that great Christian writer, C.S. Lewis? He wrote a book called, "The Screwtape Letters"? It's a fictitious story about Screwtape, an experienced devil, teaching his young nephew, Wormwood, an effective way to turn people away from God. In a nutshell, he said, "Stop them from praying, distract them from praying. Let them do everything else. They can praise God, they can go to church, but don't let them pray." Why? Because when we pray we move the hand of God, and also don't limit God with prayers of unbelief. Be prepared to pray for great impossibilities. Luke 1:37: "For with God nothing will be impossible."We went down to the Kouga Dam Wall, and we went down to Jeffries Bay in the Eastern Cape. They had no water, nothing at all, and we prayed. Many of us, thousands of us prayed the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man, and the Eastern Cape has got plenty water and the Kouga Dam is overflowing for the first time in many years. Let's continue to pray together today,God bless you and goodbye.

Growing up in New Jersey in a Catholic family, Gary McNally, never really understood the gospel, but was inquisitive. He loved his ocean diving charter business, and he loved beer with his friends. One day he picked up a Decision magazine by Billy Graham and some lights came on. He finally understood that salvation is a free gift. This put him on a path to ministry training at Dallas Theological Seminary and Western Seminary. Then he planted and pastored a church in New Jersey and later, pastored a church in Pennsylvania. Today, Gary is semi-retired, because he helps his wife, Janine, in her children's resource ministry, Grace4Kidz.org. (Some of her material is also available on the Gracelife App!) Be sure to get Janines new book on Generation Alpha, When You See Fireflies. Listen to Gary's liberating story and share it to liberate someone else.  

It sounds like a county music song or a story of a politician's early years.   Byron Williamson grew up with his mom in a shack with no electricity or indoor plumbing in a small north Texas farming village.   A few years later Byron became a book publisher and in 2021 the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association presented him with The Chair's Award for Lifetime Achievement.   Byron has headed Worthy Publishing, Word Publishing, Thomas Nelson books, and Integrity Publishers. He's published books by Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Billy Graham, Max Lucado, John MacArthur, and Frank Peretti. He worked with Sarah Young to create Jesus Calling, which has sold more than 45 million copies.   As far as we're concerned, though, Byron's claim to fame is that he's usually at the table near the buffet line at Puckett's on the first and third Thursdays. And this coming Thursday he will tell us how God led him every step of the way, although the path was not always straight or anticipated.

The F.B.I. played a key role in the development of White Christian Nationalism. Sound like a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory? Dr. Lerone A. Martin joins us to share the receipts. His new book THE GOSPEL OF J. EDGAR HOOVER shows how F.B.I. Director Hoover worked with evangelical leaders like Billy Graham a generation before the Moral Majority and the rise of the Religious Right. Hoover wrote essays for Christianity Today that Evangelical pastors and Sunday school teachers used for sermons and lessons across the country - and that's just the beginning. Listen in; you won't believe how wild this interview is!

The Church in American has lost its edge. There are very clear and simple reasons that explain how this happened.

His Voice Was His Ticket to a Career in Radio  You may not recognize him at an area mall, but there may not be a more recognizable voice in Christian radio than Wayne Shepherd, who got his first break in radio while studying broadcasting at Cedarville College. From an early age, Wayne knew that he wanted to work in radio. He just didn't know in what capacity. Would he be a producer? Write ad copy for the talented radio hosts? Or, could he be a radio host? It wasn't until his voice changed around 12 years of age that he realized his calling could be in front of the microphone talking with listeners all over the world. And, the experiences he's had during a remarkable 45-year career are astounding. From interviewing Christian leaders like Billy Graham and Luis Palau and interacting with George Beverly Shea, Wayne revels in the many opportunities the Lord has put in his path. He recalls meeting Graham in the Moody Radio network studio in Chicago and hearing the story of how he first met the famous singer for many of his crusades. And, today, part of that memory resides inside of Wayne's residence as he was allowed to have the glass door to George Beverly Shea's office door from his years at Moody Radio. Clearly, with a curiosity-driven mind, Wayne has lived his dream by influencing others through radio. From his start at Cedarville's WCDR Radio to a life-long ministry with the Moody Radio Network, Wayne has faithfully kept listeners aware of world events. This was never more apparent when he and Mark Elfstrand kept their emotions in check so they could inform listeners of the 9/11 terrorist attack — and ask his listeners to pray for the country. Listen to hear Wayne share his story on the Cedarville Stories Podcast. 

We are here today at Billy Graham's fireplace where he and his wife raised their children as we talk about how he has laid the foundation of heavenizing the Earth in our generation!

Danny and Derek sit down with Daniel Hummel, director for university engagement at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Upper House, to discuss the emergence and rise of Christian Zionism in the United States since 1948. In this first part, they get into the pre-WWII roots of the movement, Evangelical Christians' relations with Muslims of the region in the early days of the State of Israel, the theological basis of Christian Zionism, figures like Douglas Young and Billy Graham, the concept of Judeo-Christianity, the effect of the 1967 War on the relationship, and more until the Nixon Administration.

It's the part of Christianity that is not often talked about but is central to its doctrine embedded in the Gospel. Theologians call it eschatology, that which is "concerned with death, judgment and the destiny of our souls." But Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of evangelist Billy Graham, and her daughter Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright, simply call it, "Preparing to Meet Jesus." The Bible is very clear that no one really knows when the end of the world is, although Anne is certain that with all the wars and evil erupting over the globe, it is nearer than we think. However, thousands of people every day will see the end of their world. They will die: some old, some young, some suddenly and without warning, others will have time to prepare. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Anne and Rachel-Ruth talk about their new book, "Preparing to Meet Jesus," which is a "21-day Challenge to Move from Salvation to Transformation." It's a call to live each day to the fullest looking at the example of the Patriarch Abraham, as he sends out his servant to look for a wife for his son Isaac, who will be the grandfather of the twelve sons of Jacob, aka Israel. It is in the sought for qualities of a bride, that the authors see the same in those believers who are part of the Church, the Bride of Christ. Learn more about your ad choices.

Nestled within our shared quest for mental well-being lies the compelling notion of legacy. "P.S.A. - The Mental Health Podcast," meticulously crafted to echo young black men's distinct mental health experiences, proudly presents a conversation with William Winfield, delving deep into the multifaceted realm of legacy and its overarching impact.Our exploration springs from the insights of influential thinkers like Peter Strople, who so eloquently asserts that legacy's essence isn't just material inheritance but the lasting imprint we leave in people's hearts. Likewise, Billy Graham's profound thoughts on character and faith serve as a guiding compass, leading us to understand the deep essence of creating a lasting impression in this world. William's journey, punctuated with struggles and aspirations, is a testament to the invincible spirit that legacy-building requires.The foundation that William has built over the years, the audience he caters to, and the accolades he has received from noteworthy individuals, provides a rich tapestry for a thoughtful reflection. It's no wonder that his esteemed work prompts us to ponder the intricate relationship between legacy-building and mental well-being. Research, such as that from the Journal of Positive Psychology, suggests that having a purpose - often anchored in the creation of a legacy - acts as a bedrock for sound mental health. This idea finds resonance in Erik Erikson's impactful theory of "Generativity vs. Stagnation", illuminating the psychological upliftment stemming from legacy-driven pursuits.However, our discussion isn't just a collection of highbrow thoughts. It throbs with genuine emotion, light-hearted humor, and profound spiritual wisdom. Anchored in scriptures like Psalm 112:1-3 and Proverbs 13:22, we strive to lift our understanding from the ordinary to the divine. An intriguing question surfaces in this context: how can the concept of legacy be universally relevant, resonating from the bustling streets of Canada to the scenic landscapes of South Africa?William's journey, rich with life's highs and lows, portrays sheer resilience. He doesn't shy away from revealing his challenges, offering hope to listeners with similar battles. His blueprint for building a legacy is outlined as:1. Nurturing Deep Relationships - Building enduring bonds, enriched by insights from The Gottman Institute and Brené Brown.2. Continual Personal Growth and Learning - The importance of ever-evolving learning, drawing inspiration from platforms like Medium's "The Mission".3. Active Participation in Community and Social Endeavors - Leading positive change, facilitated by platforms like VolunteerMatch and Causeartist.As the conversation continues, William shares intimate snippets of his life, touching upon themes of fatherhood, faith, determination, and the importance of role models, especially in the context of black communities. His stories, rich with life's lessons, prompt us to reflect: "What legacy is our own life carving out?"This episode promises a symphony of emotions, insights, and inspiration. Journey with us, alongside William Winfield as we navigate the intricate pathways of legacy-building. Come, immerse yourself, ponder, and maybe, just maybe, chart a renewed course for your legacy! ✨William Winfield's Social MediaInstagram: @willisblessedWebsites: ​⁠ https://secretsaucespeakers.com/opt-in-page1654020881285

So grab a friend (or 8) and let's use God's Word as our compass to “do the thing”. After all, if not now…when?

Sharing our faith should be exciting to us. It is exciting. When we consider the free grace God gave us through His Son, telling others about Jesus should be on our priority list every day. For whatever reason, many find it very awkward to talk to others about Jesus. We can talk about just about anything else, though. That's why it's crucial that we look at sharing the gospel as an intentional thing we do. Intentionality is a great way to overcome our hesitancy, and let's be honest, sometimes fear keeps us from sharing.    Truth is, each personality requires a customized approach to sharing about Jesus. Some are outgoing and others are shy. A blogger for God TV has written that he admired a friend who told every seatmate on every plane he'd been in about Jesus.   The blogger went on to write that “Even if my fellow passengers desperately wanted to know Christ, they likely couldn't even get my attention with a jackhammer drill or a pie in the face.” Kind of funny and also kind of sad, also very common.    Matthew 16:24 says, “Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.'” So, if we're looking for ways to overcome our mediocre gospel sharing, what can we do? Let's look at a few tips.    The first is prayer. Get honest with God and tell Him you're not so great at evangelism. I mean, He already knows, anyway. Ask Him specifically to give you both opportunities and an intentional plan for communicating the best news anyone will ever hear.   Two, plan, think ahead. Are you a person who's good at conversation? Go over a mental checklist that provides you with enough scripture and short sentences to make your pitch when the time comes. However, if you're not outgoing, maybe you're a writer. Consider communicating with a card to let the person know you're thinking about him or her. Play to your strengths, not your weaknesses.    Number three, listen before you talk. How many times do we jump into a conversation or meeting without taking a breath? Train yourself to be quiet for a bit until you hear where the other person is coming from. You'll learn about your friend or acquaintance, and you can then think through the best way to approach them about the saving gift of Jesus. But also, don't just wait for your turn to talk. Hear them. Meet them where they are, and listen to the Holy Spirit to see how you can speak Jesus into that person's life. Very few of us are Billy Graham. That doesn't mean we can't share the gospel. Somebody's depending on it.    Let's pray.   Father, whatever our personality and our experiences, give us a passion for loving unbelievers and caring about their well-being. The world is full of diversity. Help us embrace that. In Jesus' name, amen.

The Mission 2038 TS Wright pt 2 You've heard me say over and over and over again, that the soon return of Jesus is about to happen. And I'll continue to say it over and over and over again, too. Amen! Folks, can there be any doubt?  Look at what is happening all around us! Everything Jesus talked about in Mathew 24 is happening – right now! Now, if you've been listening recently, you've heard several session with our guest today, TS Wright. We've done a deep dive on Revelation and the “7 Church Ages.”  If you missed any of those episode, go look them up in our archives. Today, we are going to discuss something even more exciting… the year 2038.  And to do that, help me welcome to the program, Scott Wright! I've been saying for years that the governments of the world would attribute the Rapture of billions of people – to extra-terrestrials. They would say something like, “They took out those folks that were impeding our efforts to bring unity and utopia” or things like that… But, in order for that to happen, first they have to get us to accept their existence. That way, they have something to blame. Whether they exist or not is not the argument. If you ask my personal opinion, I would venture to guess YES, they probably do exist. But, like when someone asked Billy Graham what he thought about ET, he replied, “I don't know if they do or not. But if they do exist, Jesus is still their Savior.”  Amen! So, I'll just leave it at that. But what do you think of all this talk about ET and the government, first the cover up and now their “unofficial recognition” that we may not be alone – and how all of that could play into the end time scenario? Think about this… the Bible says, “All the armies of the world, come out against Jesus.” Could it be, and I'm just throwing this out there as a hypothesis of sorts, that they label Jesus as an ET, just to create the “one world order” to try and fight him? What better reason to unite a one world government than if we are “protecting our world” from an invasion by ET?  The writers of the Bible would have no clue what an ET was? Huge “Tetrad in 2044” – that could be a date that coordinates the end time scenario. Scott lays out an interesting timeline that takes us from NOW (2023) to 2044 and 2050 that provides several possible scenarios that lead us to culmination of 7000 years human history! Scott gives a calling to “The Church” to fulfill our calling and to “let the Great Harvest” begin! Pastor Bob gives a prayer of Salvation for those that are ready to receive it… Scott shares that next time, we will discuss the importance of the “Great Harvest” mentality.

Scott, we've been looking at each of the “Seven Ages of the Church,” so let's kind of sum up all of the sessions we've had.  What is the significance of understanding the “Seven Ages of the Churches?” So, that leaves us where, exactly? From your research, what does it look like from now until the end of this age of the church? Let me get your opinion on this… At the time of this recording, the United States Congress has just held hearings on the existence of extra-terrestrials. You can't make this stuff up! I've been saying for years that the governments of the world would attribute the Rapture of billions of people – to extra-terrestrials.

This is a bit of a bonus because I didn't intend to give today's subject the full episode treatment. But after a last-minute change of mind here we are with a short episode focusing on Mordecai Ham, the Kentuckian evangelist who will be the penultimate link in our chain of faith leading up to Billy Graham. Ham was a fundamentalist Baptist - not the kind of guy I would normally want to feature. He was, perhaps, anti-Semitic, certainly racist, anti-Catholic, and prone to all of the worst leanings you can imagine of an IFB leader. But he played a part in this chain of faith so here we are. I present to you this biography of Ham not because of who he was but more because of the impact he had.RESOURCESChristianity.com: https://www.christianity.com/church/church-history/timeline/1801-1900/mordecai-ham-outspoken-evangelist-11630588.htmlSBC Evangelist: https://www.sbcevangelist.org/mordecai-ham/Garland Landmark Society: https://www.garlandhistorical.org/online-resources/46-articles/satellite-business/100-revivalist-s-fiery-preaching-recalledTruth in History (these guys are nuts): http://truthinhistory.org/the-need-of-the-anglo-israel-truth.htmlSword of the Lord (nuts, as well): https://web.archive.org/web/20160429094255/http://www.swordofthelord.com/biographies/HamMordecai.htm 

In today's world, we can never be too sure of what our kids are going to face.

Davis and Graham write in their book, “The Great Dechurching: Who's Leaving, Why Are They Going, and What Will It Take to Bring Them Back?” that “more people have left the church in the last 25 years than all the new people who became Christians from the First Great Awakening, Second Great Awakening, and Billy Graham crusades combined.” What does the falling away look like? It looks like this, but even worse than you think it is. Let me explain. On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, the professing Christian Church entered into a period of falling away from preaching and teaching rightly divided Bible doctrine in the tail-end of the 19th century with the emergence of the modern version ‘bibles', the Revised Version was released in 1881, and the American Standard Version in 1901. With the launch of those two books, a ‘direct hit' was leveled against the Church and the King James Bible that resulted in an ever-widening apostasy. By the time you get to the end of the 20th century, there are over 250 ‘bible' versions, all of them bad. Here in 2023, the vast majority of people who identify as Christian could not tell you the gospel of the kingdom of God that Paul preached if their lives depended on it. As a result, people are fleeing in record numbers even the feel-good, love gospel churches because they have no connection of any kind to God and the Bible. There is indeed a ‘dechurching' underway, and on this episode we show you just how bad it really is, and what you can do about it. We will also cover the Joe Biden impeachment, the Hunter Biden indictment, and the collapse of America. TO THE FIGHT!!!

Over the last few episodes we've been building up the chain of faith that leads to Billy Graham. We've seen how the devotion and life of Sunday school teacher Edward Kimball led to the conversion of a young DL Moody. Then how Moody inspired Wilbur Chapman to go into full-time evangelism which led to Chapman giving Billy Sunday his start as an evangelist. And that's where we pick up the chain today as we take a deeper dive into the life of Billy Sunday.RESOURCESChristianity Today: https://www.christianitytoday.com/history/people/evangelistsandapologists/billy-sunday.htmlGot Questions?: https://www.gotquestions.org/Billy-Sunday.htmlRomans1015: https://romans1015.com/billysunday/Wholesome Words: https://www.wholesomewords.org/biography/bsunday3.htmlTravis Agnew: https://www.travisagnew.org/2013/07/22/the-chain-of-events-for-billy-grahams-conversion/

Would you let your son play football? How do you respond to kids' sports games and practices being on Sundays? These are some of the questions I get asked by people all the time about kids in sports. Today, my husband Corey is joining me on Fearless to answer these questions and give his “insider” perspective on college and professional football and his personal point of view from one of the greatest football plays of all-time. And we're also taking a look at how culture affects the choices we make when it comes to our kids and their sports and activities.

The 2024 presidential election season has already proven to be unprecedented and bizarre. Everyone is asking, “What's at stake?” A lot. BlazeTV host Steve Deace has made a career parsing this exact question, and, as he tells Glenn on this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," America has never been more reliant on the answer. Steve is the #1 best-selling author of "Faucian Bargain: The Most Powerful and Dangerous Bureaucrat in American History." His latest is “Rise of the Fourth Reich.” This year, he took on Hollywood with his underdog success, “Nefarious.” He and Glenn walk through many of his biggest ideas, fears, and suspicions, as well as his proposed solutions, from a new era of the GOP to a bold, new devotion to religion, with some interesting examples, including Billy Graham's fight against Soviet propaganda. In the wake of the first Republican presidential debate, Steve explains why he's cautious about supporting Vivek Ramaswamy and why he has endorsed Ron DeSantis. With former President Donald Trump facing another arrest, Steve lays out the dubious events of Fulton County. The nation is approaching a breaking point, and, as Steve tells Glenn, there are really only two possible outcomes: policy or violence. It has to be policy. It can't be violence. But in order to do that, Americans have to make giant choices right now.              SPONSORS: If you're one of the millions of Americans who suffer every day from pain, there is hope, and it comes in the form of Relief Factor.

Find all of podcasts I host at https://weirddarkness.com/links.IN THIS EPISODE: The horror entertainment industry would make you think that Satan is everywhere, controlling world leaders, possessing church pastors, inhabiting the bodies of kids who play with Ouija boards, even somehow controlling your children's dolls or other toys… all in the name of the Lord Lucifer. Ironically, Satan is only mentioned a handful of times in the bible, despite what you've been led to believe by Hollywood. The image of Satan we typically envision is actually not from the bible at all, but from a poem. Most Satanists, despite the clever name, don't openly worship the devil. And while I do believe in Satan and the danger he poses – I believe we are giving him way too much credit for some things – especially some of the conspiracy theories people believe, or blaming him for when we do bad things, (i.e., “the devil made me do it!”). That being said, there are some areas that you have to wonder if perhaps he truly did place his crooked finger upon in order to insert his evil influence. What does Satan look like? What's the meaning of 666? Do people really kill in the name of Satan? Are some places or objects somehow under a Satanic influence?

Have you ever had someone tell you that you should see a therapist? It seems today, there is an overwhelming reliance on therapists both inside and outside of the church. As Christians, are we seeking godly counsel when we face trials, or are we looking for worldly solutions? Today, I'm wrapping up my summer encore episodes with a re-release of my discussion with my friends, and founders of Home Improvement Ministries, Drs. Paul and Virginia Friesen. They joined me to talk about the seasons in life where we need to seek godly counsel to help us navigate through the trauma and challenges of life, and how to identify when we need to seek that counsel.It's important to have Christ-centered resources when you need them. If this is an episode you've already heard, share this episode with some friends that maybe you've been having this discussion with, to help have those hard discussions that the church is neglecting.For more resources and additional episodes visit cissiegrahamlynch.com.Learn more about the Billy Graham Rapid Respond Team at BillyGraham.org/RRT

God can use just about anybody. He can use a former shoe salesman...such as D.L. Moody. He can use a young dairy farmer...such as Billy Graham. Or use an aimless young high school kid looking for answers...such as Greg Laurie. The Bible is full of people who seemed to lack ability but offered availability. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the time is right for God to use you. What's holding you back from saying yes to what the Lord has in mind?
