Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Five Christmas Promises” with a discussion about how God takes away fear and gives joy. We then had Susie Larson join us to discuss how believing in the truth of God's Word will set you free. We must “Acknowledge, Believe, and Confess”. Susie is a bestselling author and national speaker. She also hosts the popular radio show Susie Larson Live. She has also authored several books, including “Strong in Battle.” We also had Anne Graham Lotz join us to talk about how, when you walk with God through the valley of the shadow of death, He will replace your fear with joy. Anne is known for her profound biblical wisdom, speaks globally, and was called “the best preacher in the family” by her late father, Billy Graham. She was also named one of the five most influential evangelists of her generation by the New York Times. Then we had Dr. Alex McFarland join us to discuss how Jesus is very present with us and how we should invite Him into our lives.

Ephesians 4:7-11 - The Gift and Office of Evangelists

Pastor Mike Impact Ministries

Alreadywe talked about the office of apostleship. Thespiritual gift and office of evangelists means that these are those in thechurch who “bear the good news”. That's what evangelist means. “Evangel”, “Abearer of good news”. Someone who takes the good news of the salvation that'savailable through Jesus Christ to the world that's lost and dying and on itsway into an endless eternity to a terrible place called hell. This gift iscrucial to the outreach and expansion of the church.  As I have looked at this passage and thoughtabout the spiritual gifting of the church, I want to remind you every gift, those17 gifts that were given to the baby church, that listed in Romans 12, 1Corinthians 12-14, and here in Ephesians 4, were all necessary for the localchurch, so that it could be a healthy and growing church that fellowships, thatworships, that evangelizes, that disciples, that builds up one another,ministers and cares for one another and changes the culture and the world inwhich it's placed. Oh, how awesome that is.  Ipersonally believe that every believer has at least one primary gift. I believethese primary gifts are the seven that are listed in Romans 12. You have atleast one of those as your primary gift. But in some since we call all practicethe gift of serving, the gift of giving, the gift of ministering. We all canpractice most of the gifts, but we have that one primary gift.  Ithas also been very interesting to me that the way we look at things in thechurch, and respond to challenges that the church might have, will be based onthe spiritual giftedness that God has given to each one of us. But all thegifts are necessary. They are very necessary for the church to be a healthychurch. Every member exercising their particular gift. When you're exercisingyour gift, instead of wearing you out, there's something that energizes you,that frees you, that gives you fulfillment and contentment, and a sense ofpurpose in the church. It is vitally necessary and very important for you toknow your spiritual gift.  Whenwe look at spiritual gift and office of the evangelist, we might think ofpeople like Peter who on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2, who preached and 3,000souls are saved. He is the main spokesman for the church in the early chaptersof Acts. He is sent to Cornelius in Acts 10 and wins the first Gentile to the Lord.We even think the Apostle Paul had must have had this gift of evangelism. Laterhe would write to the church at Corinth how, “some plant and some water, butGod gives the increase” (1 Corinthians 3:7-8).  Paultold Timothy, who I believe had the gift of pastor, serving in the office ofpastor in many of the churches that Paul planted, and yet he told him do thework of an evangelist. In other words, all of us can be witnesses for JesusChrist. At the same time understanding and exercising our individual Spiritual gifts. Ithink of men in days past, like my dad, J. O. Grooms, D.L. Moody, Billy Sunday,Baily Smith, and Billy Graham, and today men like Rick Via and Steeven Kumar, whoobviously have that Spiritual gift, and fulfilled the office of evangelist, andhave been used to spread the Gospel around the world. We need these wonderfulmen of God as they go forth, and they bring new believers into the Kingdom.Then the pastors and teachers come in, and disciple and grow them. What awonderful thing it is to see God functioning and working through the localchurch of believers to glorify His son Jesus Christ.  Whata wonderful passage of scripture reminding us that each of us has a place inthe church. May the Lord help us to discover our spiritual gifts, and then alsoexercise them today in the body of Christ. Godbless!

As I was surrounded by all things Christmas this week (as I'm sure many of us are!), I was reminded of a letter my grandfather, Daddy Bill, wrote to me in February of 1998. In the letter he wished me a Happy Valentine's Day, and then mentioned that he was going to be speaking at the TED Conference in California, addressing that day's leaders in technology, design, and entertainment. He was the first religious leader to ever be invited to give a TED Talk. Technology looks vastly different today than it did in 1998, but the questions my grandfather asked and answered during that conference are still relevant for us as Christ followers. Where does evil come from? Why does suffering exist? Where do we go when we die? We're still grappling with these as a society today, but no advances in AI, social media, or the latest tech trend will change this essential truth: technology can't save us, only Jesus can. So take 25 minutes in the midst of the Christmas craziness to listen and be encouraged—there is nothing new under the sun here, God is still in control, and only He can satisfy that longing for eternity we all carry in our hearts.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 27th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Isaiah 55:11, and the Lord says; ”So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Then we go to the New Testament, John 7:26:”But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ? “ Now, remember what happened. Jesus told the disciples to go up to Jerusalem to the Feast of Tabernacles. He said, ”I will come later,” because they were seeking to kill Jesus. So eventually He came to Jerusalem on His own, and then He started to teach in the temple. His words were so bold that everyone listened without a word. The power of the spoken word of God. They recognised Jesus as the Christ, the Messiah, by the words which proceeded from His mouth.I want to say to you today, my dear friend, and this applies to me, we are not using the word of God enough. That is where the power is! William Shakespeare was a great writer, but there's no power when you quote Shakespeare. When you quote Sigmund Freud, there's no power. When you even quote Albert Einstein, supposed to be the most brilliant mind, there's no power, but when you quote the Word of God, there is power which accompanies the spoken Word of God.I have had the privilege of speaking at the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem a number of times, and I want to tell you when you say, ”thus says the Lord,” the power comes down folks, especially if you believe it. If you look at some of those old crusade tapes of Dr Billy Graham and he says, ”and the word of God says….” As soon as he quotes Scripture, you can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit in that stadium amongst those thousands and thousands of people. I've experienced it in my own life, standing up there, feeling totally inadequate, but as soon as I start quoting the word of God, a supernatural power comes down and energises me, and I can see a change in that vast crowd.I want to speak to mothers today. You've got a sick child. Oh mom, go and lay your hands on your child and speak the Word of God over that child, speak healing over that little child. I want to say to dad, he doesn't know what to do at work anymore, there are big problems there. Speak the Word of God. I really mean that, quote Scripture. You will be surprised by how the men will come into line.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

How did a small town south of Denver emerge as the center of evangelical capitalism after World War II? Historian Dr. William Schultz explains how evangelicals' faith intertwined with a specific interpretation of Americanism, especially during the Cold War era, and how this allowed them to transition from the margins of society to the epicenter of conservative dialogue.About our guest:William Schultz is a historian of American religion with an interest in the intersection of religion, politics, and capitalism.  Schultz is currently finishing his first book, Jesus Springs: Evangelical Capitalism and the Fate of an American City (under contract with UNC Press), which explains how the confluence of evangelical Christianity and free-market capitalism transformed the city of Colorado Springs into an epicenter of American conservatism. His next project, The Wages of Sin: Faith, Fraud, and Religious Freedom in Modern America, uses cases of financial fraud between the 1920s and 1990s to explore how Americans have struggled with questions of religious authority and authenticity. Prior to joining the University of Chicago, Schultz was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania and a faculty fellow at Harvard University. He received his B.A. from the University of North Carolina and his Ph.D. from Princeton University.

God is a supernatural God – God goes ahead of us – God knows all things – God is all powerful – God is all loving and God pours out gifts through His people into other people's lives. And that's the powerful truth we're going to share in today!   A Loving Dad Let's imagine just for a moment, that there is a father who has some children – he is their dad - in a very real sense, he created them. He loves them as a father loves his children but well, they've been separated from one another for a long time. He has never stopped loving them; he has never stopped thinking about them and one day they come back to him. They are reunited as a family and the father is just overjoyed. He goes to the airport to meet them; his heart is in his throat, there are tears in his eyes and like any father in that situation, he takes with him some gifts to give to these children – beautifully wrapped and especially chosen for each of them. To give a gift in that circumstance would be completely in character for a father to do because that is what dads do because there would be love and a joy – and it just makes us want to give gifts. And since we are made in God's image then it would be entirely reasonable to expect that God our Father would be exactly the same. Over the last three weeks we have been working our way through a series that I've called "The Holy Spirit and Me". Three weeks ago we began looking at how Jesus promised to give each person who believed in Him the Holy Spirit – another Comforter; another counsellor, just like Jesus. And then the next week we looked at the fact that, when that happens; when we accept Jesus and we are filled with His Spirit, then He begins to deal with our sin. The Spirit is called the Holy Spirit and part of what He does in us is to help us take that rubbish out from our former life and throw it out so that we can be free to live the life that God always intended. And last week we looked at the fact that God knows each one of us intimately. He looks at you and knows you just the way you are. He looks at me and He knows me just the way I am. And so He approaches us in different ways - in ways that He chooses to build a relationship with us through His Holy Spirit. This week we are going to finish this series off looking at the gifts of the Spirit. It turns out that the New Testament talks about three different types of gifts of the Spirit. Now I'm no Greek scholar but the Greek word that is used in the New Testament for "gift" is "charisma" – we know that word fairly well – and the Greek word that is used for 'joy' is almost the same word, it's "charis" – the same sort of derivative. So they are free gifts that come from God that give joy at being reunited with Him as His children – they are free gifts and they are gifts of joy. Let's take a bit of time today, if you can hang around with me for a few minutes today, just to look at some of those gifts and just to get a sense of what God is doing. We can't go through them all in detail, but just to kind of expose them and unpack them a little bit and be aware of them so that we can eagerly desire those gifts. A gift by definition is free but we need to be ready to receive. So it is given as a gift not only to us but for the potential benefit of other people. The first lot of gifts that are talked about in the Bible happened in Romans chapter 12, verses 3 to 8 – it's written by Paul. Let me read it to you. For by the grace given to me, I say to everyone among you, don't think of yourself more highly than you should but think with sober judgement, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as one body we have many members and not all of the members have the same function. So we who are many are one in Christ and individually we are members of one another. We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us – prophesy in proportion to faith, ministry in ministering, the teacher in teaching, the exhorter in exhortation, the giver in generosity, the leader in diligence, the compassionate in cheerfulness. Now, none of those are kind of spooky, airy-fairy gifts – they are pretty straight forward gifts – to prophesy means to speak God's will; to speak what God is thinking into a situation. We sometimes think of it as predicting the future, but most often, it's about speaking God's will, encouraging, admonishing into a situation. Some people have that gift. Other people have the gift just to minister to other people. Some people have the gift of teaching. Other people have the gift of exhortation, of encouraging, of lifting them up. Other people are motivated to be givers – they are just really good at giving of their own things and wealth into other situations. Some people we know; we meet them and we go, "There is a natural gifted leader." And some people are gifted in compassion, in mercy; they are pastorally gifted. They are the ones who will hang with someone who is sick over time. Each one of us has one or two, or maybe even three of those in our makeup: According to the grace that is given to each one of us, to be used for other people. You and I have been crafted in our mother's womb and isn't it exciting to know, there is a gift or two or three been put into our DNA; into the fibre of who we are by God. I encourage you to spend some time thinking about that because each one of us has some motivation – that's why these are called motivational gifts – some motivation to speak out God's will or to minister to others or to teach or to encourage or to give or to lead or just to show compassion. And those gifts aren't gifts for us to hang on to; they are gifts for us to use in the lives of other people. They are gifts through which God flows into the lives of other people. You might think, "Well, you know, I don't have any real gift. Well, I don't think so." God has gifted you from the time that you were in your mother's womb, with one of those gifts that you can use to take the blessing of God into someone else's life – that's what this is about. We are going to look at some of the other gifts that the Bible talks about next.   Motivational and Leadership Gifts We are talking today in our last programme of the series "The Holy Spirit and Me" about the gifts; the spiritual gifts that God gives us through the Holy Spirit. The first lot that we looked at were what are called "motivational" gifts. They are kind of in our DNA – we all have a bent in a certain direction. For some people it is speaking out God's will; for some people it's encouraging; for others it's teaching; for others it's serving; for others it's hanging with people in compassion and pastoring them. That's one lot of gifts – we all have one or two of those gifts that are wired into our DNA and I would really encourage you to get before God and say, "Lord, I'm looking at this list of gifts that You have put there in Romans chapter 12 – which one is me? God I want You to use what You have put into the fibre of my being to bless other people and to encourage other people, because God I want to be used by You. Well, the second lot of gifts we are going to look at today come from Ephesians chapter 4 – if you have a Bible let's go there – we are looking at Ephesians chapter 4, verses 11 to 13. These gifts are what are called "leadership" gifts – not everybody is going to be a leader but you know, sometimes we kind of sit there and we think, "Well, you know, I'm not a leader. I look around all these other people in my church and they all seem so important and special and I don't really have anything to be a leader." God picks the strangest people to be leaders – God really does! You know, I look back on my walk with Jesus and I think, "Why did God ever pick me to do what I'm doing? I never expected Him too." He comes and picks little black sheep and little ugly ducklings and little nobodies and uses them in the most powerful way. We should never kid ourselves that God doesn't mean for us to be doing something that He has planned for us to do. So we are here in Ephesians chapter 4, beginning at verse 11 – looking at the five leadership gifts - it says this: The gifts we gave were that some would be apostles, some would be prophets, some would be evangelists, some would be pastors and others would be teachers to equip the saints for the work of ministry for building up the body of Christ. So there are five gifts: apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher. An apostle is simply someone who gets sent out by the body of Christ; by the church to go and do a new work. The twelve Apostles were Jesus disciples who were then 'sent out' to build the church – to plant new churches. Paul was an apostle, someone who was sent out and he planted a lot of new churches. Have to be a special sort of person to be one who is happy to be sent out from the group to do something new. It is a really special gifting and it's a gifting that comes from the Holy Spirit. We don't choose this for ourselves – God chooses it – God chooses to make someone an apostle and when you are you just know and you have a motivation to do something new and you go out and do it. Then there are prophets – a prophet is someone who speaks God's will into people's lives. It's a gifting that God has given me – not one that I chose (we'll talk about that later) it's not one that I chose for myself, it's the one that God chose for me – to speak God's will. To go to God in prayer and say, "Lord, what are You doing today" and to hear Him really clearly and then to go and speak that into peoples' lives because that's what God has anointed me to do. Other people are evangelists. I have these friends Peter and Ruth and Peter and Ruth are just born evangelists and they can't help it. They sit at a bus stop and they are talking to someone about Jesus – that's just how they are wired – it's how God has made them. You would never pick them as evangelists – they don't look like Billy Graham but God has blessed them to go and do that and praise God, they do it every opportunity they get. Some people are called to be pastors. I was having a cup of coffee yesterday with a dear friend of mine Peter Watson, who is a pastor not far from where I live and Pete was talking to me and he said "You know, I just love what I'm doing and I'm here for the long haul and doing this, doing that." I said to Peter, "I'd die if I had to do what you do." I'm not called to be a pastor but Pete is and a whole bunch of other people are and churches are full of people who are gifted to be pastors. And I don't mean by that the "minister of the church" – I mean by that the sort of person who just pulls along and hangs with people for the long term and just hangs there and is with them and walks with them; who pastors them – as a shepherd pastors a flock. There is a real gifting; it's a real calling; it's a real anointing and a lot of times pastors don't look to be anything special and they're the most important people in my view, in the body of Christ. And then some people are called to be teachers – that's what I am doing now. My two gifting are in the area of prophesy and teaching. If we were all teachers it would be boring – fortunately God only picks a few. These are the leadership giftings – they are not for all – but their role is to build the body of Christ. We are now going to look at the last grouping of giftings which are called spiritual giftings. If you have a Bible, go and grab it, open it at First Corinthians chapter 12 and we will read it together. We are talking today about spiritual gifts and God is a Dad; He is our Dad and His heart is to give good gifts to His children. If we, who are imperfect, know how to give good gifts to our kids, how much more will our Dad in heaven give the Holy Spirit to us when we ask Him? And with the Holy Spirit come gifts – gifts that are about who we are but they are what God does through us to bless other people. We have talked about the motivational gifts in Romans chapter 12; we have talked about the leadership giftings in Ephesians chapter 4 and now we are moving on to the spiritual gifts – these are supernatural gifts – not magic – these gifts come from the Holy Spirit. Flick with me, if you have a Bible, to First Corinthians chapter 12. Now concerning spiritual gifts, (First Corinthians chapter 12, verse 1), brothers and sisters, I don't want you to be uninformed. You know that when you were pagans, you were enticed and led astray by idols who couldn't speak, therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says 'Let Jesus be cursed' and no can say 'Jesus is Lord' except by the Holy Spirit. Now there is a variety of gifts of the same Spirit and there are a variety of services but the same Lord and there are varieties of activities but the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit, the utterance of wisdom, to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit, to another working of miracles, to another prophesy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues and to another, the interpretation of tongues. All of these are activated by one and the same Spirit who allots to each one individually, just as the Spirit chooses. These are spiritual gifts that come from the Holy Spirit and they are not for super Christians, they are not for special Christians – it says here: To each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. Believe in Jesus? God's plan is to manifest His Spiritual gifts in you and through you just as His plan is to do that with me. Now there are a variety of gifts. Sometimes it is an utterance of wisdom, sometimes it is walking into a situation and discerning what is going on and you just feel God give you this wisdom that you never had and you speak it and everyone goes "Man, that's amazing." And sometimes it's a word of knowledge – sometimes we can't know what is going on in someone's life but the Holy Spirit just leads us to speak something and it's bang on. Sometimes it is the most supernatural faith in the most difficult of circumstances. Sometimes God says, "Go and heal that person because I am healing them – go and put your hands on them – go and pray for them." The Spirit is about healing lives. Sometimes it's working in miracles – sometimes it's a prophesy; it's a word from God that people just know has come from God. Sometimes it is discerning spirits – the devil is alive and well. And sometimes it's praying in tongues – one of the very common gifts. Now they are wonderful, wonderful gifts but the most important thing, if you read the next couple of chapters of First Corinthians, which we are not going to, is that we should pursue love. We should – yes, strive for spiritual gifts because God wants to give them to each one – but the most important thing is that we walk in love. If you flick over to chapter 14 and verse 12, it says this: So with yourselves, since you are eager for spiritual gifts, strive to excel in them for the building up of the church. Now I am challenged by this; I am a very right-brained, analytical kind of guy and I had a prophesy given to me by telephone from a friend. She rang one Saturday morning and said 'God has just given me Romans chapter 12, verse 6 and that says: Prophesy according to your faith. Now the night before I had been at Bible College and one of our lecturers Dr Barry Chant, whom I have just so much time for, said "Today we are going do prophesy." And I'm thinking, "Barry, it doesn't work that way. God doesn't work like this. Hang on a minute." So I challenged him and he smiled at me knowingly and he sat me down with a young man and he said, "Prophesy into this man's life." I thought, "Barry, come on." Barry said, "just start praying for him" and so I did and God led me in a direction to pray for this young man and I opened my eyes when I finished praying and he was sobbing – he was in tears because I prayed and spoke something into his life that I couldn't have known, that was the biggest issue in his life right then. And Barry put his hand on my shoulder and had this knowing smile. God gave me that day, even though I didn't ask for it, the gift of prophesy and prophesy for me is never easy. It's not something that comes lightly; not something that I open my mouth over easily, but when God calls me to prophesy; to speak His very specific will into some situation into someone's life, I just know. And so I go and do that and I see how God does the most amazing things. I have seen people blessed time and time again. That's the spiritual gift that God seems to give to me most often. Now, I would really like one of the flashy gifts like healing – that would be good. I'd love to be able to go along and lay my hands on people and heal them all the time but it just seems that the place God calls me into, being who I am and how He has made me, is in this area of prophesy. And it is so wonderful to see that step of faith – and that's what it is for me each time because it's always a bit scary to do – to prophesy into people's lives and see God use that and see lives touched and changed. This is not the gift I had planned for myself, yet, we don't get to choose. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. All of these are activated by the one and the same Spirit who allots to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses. This is a gift from God and if we start taking gifts on ourselves saying, "I'm going to be a healer," and God hasn't put that in us, then, we are going to abuse that, we are going to make mistakes and we are going to hurt people. God is a good God – God is a supernatural God – God goes ahead of us – God knows all things – God is all-powerful – God is all loving and God pours out gifts through His people into other people's lives. Sometimes they are unusual; sometimes they are scary; sometimes it's a huge step of faith to lay your hands on someone and pray for their healing. But when God is doing something; when God has shown up, you know something? You and I had better be there along with Him otherwise He will use someone else. Our Father is a Father of joy; He's a good Father. He wants to give us good gifts – they are free gifts – to each one of us – you! You believe in Jesus? God means to use you supernaturally in other people's lives – it's a fabulous plan. And, yes, you know something? It takes a bit of faith but God knows that too and He knows where we are at in our faith. Prophesy happens according to faith – my gift is a faith gift and I just believe that when I open my mouth, I am only doing it in His power. I won't open my mouth in my own strength and God, time and time again has done that. What if God plans to use you to heal people's lives? What if God plans to use you to put words of knowledge or words of wisdom into other people's lives? You know, if we are not co-operating with God, it's not going to happen – He is not going to drag us kicking and screaming. It says here that we should 'eagerly desire' spiritual gifts and excel in those spiritual gifts. We have looked at three types of gifts today – motivational gifts, Romans chapter 12, verses 3 to 7; leadership gifts, Ephesians chapter 4, verses 11 to 13; spiritual gifts, First Corinthians chapter 12, verse 1 to 11. God is a good God – God wants to bless people. You know He sent Jesus to this planet not just to speak but to walk on water, to heal people, to give sight to the blind, to cast demons out, to die and rise again – God is a supernatural God – God touches lives supernaturally. Father I pray for each person listening that You would give us a desire for Your spiritual gifts; a desire for Your Spirit to flow through us; a desire for this world to be blessed by Your Spirit through us. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

The Hidden Battle for America's Future (w/ Jonathan Cahn) - Ep. 163

What if the cultural chaos we’re witnessing isn’t just political or social—but a visible sign of ancient, unseen spiritual forces at work? In this riveting episode, Catherine welcomes back New York Times bestselling author and esteemed spiritual leader Jonathan Cahn. Known for his prophetic insight and viral teachings, Jonathan brings parents face-to-face with revelations from his explosive new book, The Avatar: The Return of the Ancients and the Future of America. With global headlines swirling—hostage releases in the Middle East, political shake-ups at home—Jonathan argues that these events are rooted in spiritual battles dating back thousands of years. He takes listeners on a journey through scripture and current history, demonstrating that ancient “gods” and principalities are reclaiming influence in our modern world, often in ways that fly under the radar of the Western mind. Key insights from the episode: The spiritual war behind the headlines: Jonathan unpacks how events like the October 7 attacks in Israel and miraculous hostage returns are spiritual manifestations, echoing patterns seen throughout biblical history. America’s spiritual crossroads: Drawing from The Return of the Gods, Jonathan reveals the “dark trinity” of Baal, Ashtoreth/Ishtar, and Molech—ancient entities driving materialism, sexual confusion, and the destruction of life in today’s society. The avatar phenomenon: Through spellbinding personal anecdotes from India, Cuba, and Africa, Jonathan explains how avatars—human embodiments of these ancient spirits—are still being worshipped globally, and how this practice is stealthily influencing Western cultures and politics. Surprising connections in U.S. leadership: Catherine and Jonathan dive into uncanny parallels between political figures (including Kamala Harris and Donald Trump) and ancient gods and biblical leaders, even uncovering astonishing links between their birthdates and sacred calendar readings. The warning and the call: While God sometimes uses unlikely leaders (the "Jehu" template) to roll back spiritual darkness, ultimate hope for America rests not in politicians but in a nationwide revival—a return to the worship of the one true God, starting in our homes and families. Notable moments: Jonathan’s miraculous encounters with spiritual warfare overseas and their effect on communities. Catherine’s research into how avatars are selected and worshipped in modern cultures—and the resulting persecution of Christians and Jews. The uncanny timing of U.S. leaders’ births with ancient holy days and scriptural readings. As Jonathan cautions: “If we change the government, but we don’t change the hearts of the people, the unchanged hearts are going to change the government back... The only thing that can save America is revival.” About the guest: Jonathan Cahn has been named along with Billy Graham as one of the top spiritual leaders to have radically impacted our world in modern times. He has spoken at the United Nations, on Capitol Hill, to Members of Congress, and to millions around the world. Every one of his books, starting with The Harbinger to The Dragon’s Prophecy, has become a New York Times Bestseller. He is recognized as a prophetic voice for our times. His teachings and prophetic messages on YouTube have received over 100 million views. He leads Beth Israel at the Jerusalem Center in Wayne, New Jersey — and Hope of the World ministry, a world outreach of God’s word and compassion to the world’s most needy.

Hechos 11: 26No suelo seguir de cerca el mundo de la música contemporánea, pero incluso para aquellos que como yo no están muy atentos, es difícil ignorar el fenómeno musical y cultural que se ha convertido Taylor Swift. Esta joven, que comenzó su carrera en la música country, ha emergido en años recientes como la cantautora más reconocida a nivel mundial. Se estima que su gira «Eras» generará ganancias de 1,400 millones de dólares, y cada presentación de esta gira conlleva un gasto de hasta cinco mil millones de dólares en las ciudades anfitrionas.* A finales de 2023, un oficial de la Reserva Federal de los Estados Unidos subrayó que Taylor Swift tuvo durante ese año un impacto positivo en la economía del país.Pero lo que más llama la atención de Taylor Swift es la forma en la que ha logrado conectar con toda una generación de jóvenes que se identifican tanto con esta cantautora que los medios de comunicación los han llamado «swiftiess». Los «swifties» no solo escuchan la música de Taylor, también asisten a sus conciertos, siguen su vida personal, comparten sus valores y la ven como un modelo a seguir. Taylor Swift no es la primera persona en tener un grupo de seguidores que llevan su nombre, y posiblemente tampoco sea la última. Durante el primer siglo de nuestra era existía la costumbre en el Imperio Romano de utilizar el nombre del líder para designar a los seguidores. Es así como encontramos registros de grupos llamados «pompeyanos», «agustinos» y «cesarianos» para referirse a los seguidores de Pompeyo, Augusto y César, respectivamente.Por eso, cuando surgió un nuevo grupo de personas que hablaban de «Cristo» (1 Corintios 2:1-2), imitaban a «Cristo» (1 Corintios 11: 1) y se sentían identificados con los valores de «Cristo» (Juan 13: 35), los habitantes de Antioquía decidieron llamarlos «cristianos». De allí que ser «cristianos» es más que ir a la iglesia un día a la semana, es ver el mundo a través de los ojos de Jesús e imitarlo al amar al prójimo. Billy Graham lo resumió de la siguiente manera: «Un cristiano es una persona que confía en Jesús para su salvación eterna y procura seguirlo en su vida diaria. En otras palabras, un cristiano está comprometido con Jesús como su Salvador y Señor». ¿Sigues tú a Jesús? ¿Pueden los demás llamarte «cristiano/a»?

Money is never just about dollars and cents. It's a window into our hearts, a test of our faith, and even a testimony to the world.Few people have taught that truth more faithfully than Ron Blue. Today, he'll share lessons from his own journey—from Wall Street to biblical stewardship—and explain how our approach to finances transforms us and our relationships with others.Ron Blue is a financial teacher, author, and co-founder of Kingdom Advisors. He has helped countless Christians apply biblical wisdom to their finances and is best known for his bestselling book, Master Your Money: A Step-by-Step Plan for Financial Contentment.From Wall Street to Biblical WisdomRon began his career on Wall Street, later founding his own accounting firm and advising countless entrepreneurs and professionals. But everything changed when he became a Christian and encountered the teachings of Larry Burkett and Howard Dayton. He came to realize that everything that worked in the financial world had its roots in biblical wisdom.For more than forty years, he's witnessed God's redemptive work through money—seeing firsthand how financial decisions reveal the heart and become a powerful entry point for spiritual growth.As the late Billy Graham once said, “When you get your attitude about money right, the rest of life tends to fall into place.”Money Reveals the HeartRon often quotes Larry Burkett's insight that how we handle money is one of the clearest indicators of our spiritual life.Every purchase, every act of giving, every financial habit reflects what—and whom—we trust most.The first and most foundational lesson Ron has seen believers embrace is this: God owns everything.Once that truth takes root, everything changes. We move from ownership to stewardship, from anxiety to contentment, from control to trust. Those who live as stewards tend to develop an eternal perspective—knowing where their true security lies.When couples discuss money openly within that framework, communication strengthens and unity deepens. Money becomes not a barrier but a bridge to a deeper connection.Learning How Much Is “Enough”One of Ron's signature teachings centers on answering the question: How much is enough?Defining financial “finish lines” for lifestyle and accumulation frees believers from endless striving. It helps them determine when to give more, save less, and live joyfully within God's provision. From a worldly view, enough is never enough—but from God's view, it is both possible and freeing.When we truly believe that God owns everything, our financial goals shift. We seek margin—the space to give, serve, and respond to God's call.Money itself isn't the goal—it's a tool to accomplish God's purposes. Whether it's how we educate our children, give to ministry, or plan for the future, the question becomes: How can these resources advance God's Kingdom?When people look at us, they shouldn't see someone better, but someone different—different priorities, values, and goals.When Couples Don't See Eye to EyeNot every couple starts on the same page financially. Ron has seen how honoring the marriage covenant sometimes means yielding financial preferences for the sake of peace and witness. In one case, advising a believing wife to honor her unbelieving husband's wishes about tithing led to that husband's eventual openness to Christ.Even in his own marriage, Ron and his wife, Judy, have relied on third-party counsel to strengthen their communication—reminding couples that it's not their money, but God's money.Money as a Test and a TestimonyFor Ron, money serves three purposes: it's a tool, a test, and a testimony. God often uses money to build our faith because it serves as a test of our trust. But it's also a testimony. Contentment, generosity, and peace in financial life point the world to the sufficiency of Christ. In a culture driven by comparison and consumption, a believer who lives joyfully and contentedly becomes a living witness of God's faithfulness.If we can demonstrate contentment, confidence, peace, and joy, the world will notice—and wonder why. Money even becomes a testimony to the next generation as children watch their parents live open-handedly and find joy in biblical stewardship.When you view money as God's tool, test, and testimony, it reshapes not just your finances—but your faith, marriage, and legacy.Money is a great servant but a terrible master. When we surrender ownership to God, we discover the true freedom of stewardship—peace, purpose, and joy that outlast every market cycle.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 59 and planning to retire next year. My wife is already retired, and thankfully, our home and vehicles are paid off. We also have a few rental properties that are nearly paid for. My question is—when should I start taking Social Security? And regarding our pensions and investments, should I consider rolling them out of our company plans into something else?My son is thinking about filing for bankruptcy. He has quite a bit of debt—not just credit cards—and I'm worried about what bankruptcy would do to his credit and how long it would take him to rebuild. He hopes to buy a home in the near future. What are his options to avoid bankruptcy, and if he does file, how can he begin to recover his credit?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Master Your Money: A Step-by-Step Plan for Experiencing Financial Contentment by Ron Blue with Michael BlueWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

In October of 1948, Billy Graham and his ministry team — Cliff Barrows, George Beverly Shea and Grady Wilson — held evangelistic meetings in Modesto, Calif. These men gathered in their spare time to write what Barrows came to call the “Modesto Manifesto.” That document outlined the standards they would follow regarding “financial integrity, sexual morality, publicity, and partnership with the local church.” However, the organizations led by Billy Graham's son Franklin recently withdrew from the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) because they did not want the ECFA to act as “moral police” for the evangelical world.

What is the theological meaning of American history? In this episode, American church historian Grant Wacker joins Mark Labberton to explore the theological dimensions of American history, the legacy of Billy Graham, and the evolving face of evangelicalism. Wacker reflects on his Pentecostal upbringing, his formation as a historian, and his conviction that faith and scholarship must speak honestly to one another. Together they trace how religion has both shaped and distorted American life—from the enduring wound of slavery to the reformist spirit woven through its history. Wacker, now in his eighties, offers his perspective on evangelicalism's past, present, and global future. Episode Highlights “Religion has always been at the forefront of rationalizing and making enslavement seem perfectly normal—perfectly natural. It's just the order of things.” “Many of the very finest religious historians are not believers—and they do superb work in understanding where religion lies.” “I don't think there is Christian nationalism out there. What there is is that there is nationalism that draws on Christian categories to legitimate itself.” “I don't think what we're looking at is a religious movement. We're looking at a political movement that uses religious categories.” “We should write about others the way we wish they would write about us.” “You Americans are always asking the Holy Spirit to bring revival. What you ought to be doing is asking the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the revival that is already flourishing.” Helpful Links and Resources America's Pastor: Billy Graham and the Shaping of a Nation by Grant Wacker — https://www.amazon.com/Americas-Pastor-Graham-Shaping-Nation/dp/0674052188 Heaven Below: Early Pentecostals and American Culture by Grant Wacker — https://www.amazon.com/Heaven-Below-Pentecostals-American-Culture/dp/0674011287 One Soul at a Time: The Story of Billy Graham by Grant Wacker — https://www.amazon.com/One-Soul-Time-Religious-Biography/dp/0802885500/ Mark Noll's The Civil War as a Theological Crisis — https://www.amazon.com/Theological-Crisis-Steven-Janice-Lectures/dp/1469621819 Religion in American Life: A Short History — ****https://www.amazon.com/Religion-American-Life-Short-History/dp/0199832692/ About Grant Wacker Grant Wacker is the Gilbert T. Rowe Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Christian History at Duke Divinity School. A leading scholar of American religious history, he is the author of numerous books including Heaven Below: Early Pentecostals and American Culture and America's Pastor: Billy Graham and the Shaping of a Nation. His research has helped shape modern understanding of American evangelicalism, Pentecostalism, and the intersection of faith and culture. Show Notes Wacker's path to the study of history through mentorship at Harvard Divinity School and a fascination with theology's relationship to historical reality He distinguishes between observing “religion operating in history” and perceiving “the divine hand,” emphasizing the tension between secular and theological approaches to the past. Four major contexts that define the American story: geography, capitalism, immigration, and race Eleven domains where the power of religion—and possibly divine influence—can be seen, from colonization and enslavement to revivalism and reform. “We are a people of plenty—prosperous partly because of the accident of geography.” Reformed and Wesleyan theology as twin engines shaping the nation's moral and social imagination. Humility as “at the heart of Reformed theology: we don't run our lives; something else is running the show.” Wesleyan theology, by contrast, stresses human enablement and responsibility: “If we are able to do it, we are responsible for doing it.” Catholic contributions to the American story, especially the richness of liturgy and the continuity of two thousand years of history Reflections on racial sin as a “permanent wound,” calling religion both complicit in and necessary for confronting slavery's legacy Mark Noll's The Civil War as a Theological Crisis, highlighting how both sides invoked Scripture without self-awareness or self-critique “Religion has always been implicated in making enslavement seem natural—as natural as breathing.” Describes evangelicalism's deep roots in pietism and revivalism, its mainstream dominance by the late nineteenth century, and its later fragmentation. “Evangelicalism became the main line—it was the standard way Protestantism operated.” Outlines the modern trifurcation: fundamentalists, liberals, and a centrist evangelical river that remains influential. “Christian nationalism” is largely a political, not religious, phenomenon: nationalism using Christian categories to legitimize itself. “Religion is rarely an independent variable in determining how people vote.” Richard Bushman (paraphrase):  Have we written about [the subjects of academic history] as fairly and honestly as we can, or have we distorted their story in order to make ourselves look good? A call for fairness in historical judgment: “Write about them the way you wish they would write about you.” Prediction: Evangelicalism's future lies “south of the equator”—in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Quotes a Jesuit: “Americans keep asking for revival; they should ask to see the revival that's already happening.” On Christian nationalism: “The question is not whether religion and politics collude—they always have—but whether we can be self-conscious and humble about it.” Identifies power, prosperity, and digital speed as the toxic combination shaping contemporary polarization. “Speed is a narcotic for humans—we want to be connected now.” Reflects on Billy Graham's unifying role and his progressive evolution on race and nuclear disarmament: “He became increasingly moderate, increasingly inclusive.” Notes Graham's three conversions—to Christ, to racial justice, and to peace. “The United States and the Soviet Union are like two little boys in a bathtub filled with gasoline, playing with matches.” On teaching and legacy: “My students are earnest—they want to do well for the world they live in.” “Whatever good has come—it's a gift, not earned.” Humility, humor, and grace as rare marks of faith and scholarship integrated Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.
