What if the Appalachian Mountains are hiding ancient places built for something far darker than history will admit? In this episode, Tony sits down with Bo Kennedy to explore the unsettling possibility of hidden Nephilim temples buried deep in Appalachia, where legends of giants, serpent mounds, cryptids, witchcraft, and spiritual warfare still seem to echo through the mountains. Bo shares the real research and personal experiences that inspired his novel, Army of God: Terror by Night, a story rooted in biblical warfare, ancient curses, forgotten mounds, and the fight between prayer and the powers of darkness. As the conversation unfolds, the mystery of Appalachia becomes more than folklore. It becomes a warning about what may still be hidden in the land, and what it means to stand firm in Christ when the darkness pushes back.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

What if the most powerful thing you could do in the middle of conflict is simply be at peace? Graham Cooke closes out this opening session with a vision of the overcoming life that most of us haven't considered — that rest, joy, and astonishment at who God is are more powerful than any exercise of authority. The Prince of Peace walked in one day and never left. What changes when we live from that reality?Key Scriptures:+ Matthew 16:18. "On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."+ Matthew 16:19. "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven."+ Philippians 4:7. "The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."+ Romans 8:37. "In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."As always, thanks for listening! ❤️--Want to explore more?

[9] For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” [10] When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith. [11] I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, [12] while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness.

In this powerful episode of Kingdom Crossroads, host TS Wright sits down with author Terrence Rotering to explore his extraordinary journey from Air Force veteran to prolific Christian fiction writer. Terrence reveals how a simple story for his children evolved into a sweeping 13-book saga—The Chronicles of Trinian—spanning multiple dimensions, timelines, and spiritual realities.Terrence shares how a battle with cancer paused his writing for years before God led him back to complete what would become a massive body of work focused on one central mission: proclaiming Jesus Christ and equipping believers for spiritual warfare.The conversation dives deep into the inspiration behind his books, including what he calls “God winks”—remarkable patterns and divine confirmations that guided his writing. From recurring 3:16 themes to unexpected biblical connections, Terrence explains how these moments strengthened his calling to continue writing.Blending science fiction, fantasy, and spiritual warfare, his series offers a unique alternative to mainstream fiction—one that emphasizes purpose, faith, and the reality of the spiritual battle believers face today.Key Topics CoveredTerrence Rotering's journey from military service to Christian authorOvercoming cancer and rediscovering purpose through writingThe creation of a 13-book, 5,000-page epic seriesThe role of “God winks” and divine inspiration in storytellingSpiritual warfare themes in modern culture and fictionIntegrating biblical truth into science fiction and fantasyThe importance of faith, family, hope, and purposeReaching new audiences with the gospel through storytellingAbout the AuthorTerrence Rotering is a retired Air Force veteran and author of The Chronicles of Trinian, a multi-genre Christian fiction series that spans thousands of years and multiple dimensions.

As you look ahead to Jesus' return at the End of the Age, do you feel anticipation and joy or fear and dread? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the spiritual growth we need to undergo to be prepared for the future. Jesus advises us to be aware of the "birth pains" that will precede His return, and Pastor Allen points out how many of these are present in the world today, including the rise of deception, evil, and lawlessness. He also explains the parable of the wheat and the tares and how good will grow alongside evil—we need to keep our eyes focused on the good and what God is doing. We're guaranteed persecution as this present age comes to a close, but we'll also grow closer to God as we persevere.
What starts as a single “yes” can influence a lifetime. In this episode, we speak with Tennessee’s First Lady Maria Lee, who shares how a short summer of ministry in Nashville turned the trajectory of her life—from teaching in a classroom to serving alongside her husband in public life—and taught her that true impact often comes from simply showing up and seeing others. Speaker and radio personality Brooke Taylor’s story takes a different turn when a sudden stroke changes everything, forcing her to relearn how to live and let go of perfection, only to discover that God could use her brokenness to reach people in a deeper, more meaningful way. Together, their stories reveal a powerful truth—that even in the most unplanned moments, God is guiding us with compassion toward connection.

But the thing that has grounded me and [helped with] being able to handle being in that public eye is staying in God’s Word and knowing what He’s called me to do and being able to walk that purposefully and intentionally. Being in His Word reminds me of who I am and who He is, what He values and what He wants me to value.” - First Lady Maria Lee “I think there’s a lot of bright, shiny things in the world that draw our attention away from what the Lord has called us to, and if we’re not grounded in daily communion with Him and daily relationship with Him, you can easily be distracted.” - First Lady Maria Lee “I think if we are going to emulate the character of Christ, He came not to be served, but to serve. And if we’re going to follow in His footsteps, I feel like each one of us who is a believer and confesses Christ should be finding a place to serve.” - First Lady Maria Lee “There are so many ways to serve, and it doesn’t have to be big, it can be little. I think one of the greatest ways to serve somebody is just to be present with them, to show up and let them know that you see them.” - First Lady Maria Lee “When I heard how the [radio] listeners were praying for me and how they were sending cards and how they were sending messages that they were praying for me, I knew that was God’s way of surrounding me with His love.” - Brooke Taylor “As a radio personality, you’re pouring out and pouring out and pouring out. You say things, but you don’t know if anybody’s listening. You don’t know if it’s reaching anybody, or if you made any sense with that sentence. And then to have that all come back to me—the listeners pouring out to me—it was very humbling.” - Brooke Taylor “[After my stroke] I felt like God was with me, and it was as if He was saying, ‘I don’t need the perfect you. It’s actually more effective for Me if I use the broken you. Because the broken you is going to be able to reach people that are also broken.’” - Brooke Taylor ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Popularized in the 19th century, the pre-tribulational rapture is the idea that millions of Christians will suddenly vanish before a future seven-year tribulation. This is one of the most widely held beliefs in modern Christianity—but is this teaching actually grounded in Scripture? Hank Hanegraaff examines the case on this episode of Hank Unplugged. Drawing from key biblical passages—including John 5, Matthew 24, 1 Thessalonians 4, 1 Corinthians 15, and Revelation 21—Hank argues that the Bible presents a very different picture: One unified resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteousOne visible, final return of ChristOne redeemed creation, liberated together with the people of God Hank also explores: The historical roots of rapture theologyThe meaning of the “abomination of desolation” and first-century tribulationWhether Scripture supports a future seven-year tribulation or rebuilt templeMisconceptions surrounding “replacement theology”The true nature of the Church as one covenant people in Christ Rather than a secret rapture or a divided plan for Israel and the Church, Hanegraaff presents the biblical hope of resurrection, restoration, and the renewal of all things.

From distractions to sin to comparison, so many things slow us down without us even realizing it. Hebrews 12 calls us to throw off everything that hinders and run with endurance… but how do you actually do that in real life? What weight are you holding onto? What's keeping you stuck or distracted? Are you even running the race God set before you… or someone else's? Through this conversation, you'll be reminded that the goal isn't perfection… it's perseverance. And the only way we keep going is by fixing our eyes on Jesus. In this conversation, Madi and Grant talk about: -What "running your race" actually means -How to identify the weight holding you back -Why letting go is necessary to move forward -What it looks like to stay focused on Jesus daily My prayer is that you would feel encouraged to release what's been weighing you down, refocus your heart on Jesus, and run your race with endurance and freedom.

God sent Jesus into the world to say the things he said and do the things he did — and it got him killed. Now Jesus is sending us into the world, and we should probably expect at least a hard time. In John 14, Jesus gives us gifts for the journey, gifts that will equip us for the difficult work of being his representatives. One of those great gifts is prayer. And if anybody is saying, “Oh, yeah, I know. What else?” then you don't know. I don't think any of us really know. Prayer is a mighty gift, and in a sense, everything we need to know about prayer is locked in one verse. We're going to look at 1) the power of prayer, 2) the conditions for prayer, 3) the purpose of prayer, and 4) the foundation of prayer. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 29, 2017. Series: Jesus, Mission, and Glory: New Confidence. Scripture: John 14:12-15.

Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn hosted a live podcast recording in Atlanta on April 22. They were joined by Grammy-winning hip-hop artist Lecrae to discuss his journey through doubt and deconstruction toward a renewed faith in Christ. He shared what helped him through the dark season, and why he felt the need to abandon the "fraud" but not the "faith."

Air Date: 4–29-2026 Today we explore the extraordinary clash between Pope Leo XIV and the Trump White House — a feud involving military threats, medieval papal history, and an American-born pope who refuses to back down. We'll hear why analysts say MAGA's religiosity is pure aesthetic, and what that hollowness means for the millions of Americans still taking their faith seriously.

It's Witness Wednesday! Join Todd on campus at Georgia Tech to discuss faith, the gospel, and Christ with real people on the street. From neuroscience majors to student athletes, the ultimate question is asked and answered: what's going to happen to your soul? Segment 1 • Sammy Kai admits he's living like there's no ultimate purpose—so what actually makes life matter if nothing is guiding it? • Can evolution and “infinite time” really explain complex design? • If everything around you looks engineered, the reasonable belief would be that there is an engineer behind it. Segment 2 – Sammy Kai (Part 2: Sin, Judgment, and the Gospel) • Sammy Kai thinks he's a “good person”—and Todd applies God's standard. • If everyone fails God's moral test, does that mean everyone is in serious trouble? • The moment it clicks: Jesus' death isn't just a story—but the only way justice and mercy can both be fulfilled. Segment 3 • Kylie confidently calls herself a Christian—but can she answer the question: “Why should I become one?” • From Kylie's POV, are all religions basically the same? • If your belief system is built on “do your best”… what happens when that's not enough? Segment 4 • Kylie says God should weigh her “good vs bad”—but would that defense hold up in a real courtroom? • When pressed, even professing Christians struggle: do you actually understand what “being born again” means? • Student athlete Kimani is confident about faith. Can you explain it clearly? ___ Thanks for listening! Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.

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.

Despite his promises, Josh Hawley's vision of masculinity and masculine virtue is not “Christian” in any definable way. But while this may be surprising, given his Christian nationalist credentials, it actually serves the interests of his ideology not to be distinctly Christian? In what senses?

As the dogwoods begin to bloom here in Nashville, Gabe and Rebekah are leaning into a conversation that sits at the very heart of our emotional and spiritual health.

Jennifer shares her raw and beautiful journey—from her days as a college student battling intense anxiety and fear to now stewarding a global ministry focused on inner healing and restoration. Together, they dive into why prayer is a vital rhythm of discipleship that allows us to disclose our hearts to the Father and find the freedom we were made for. Whether you are navigating unholy lines in your family history or looking to build a more intentional prayer culture in your home and church, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for finding peace in the midst of spiritual warfare. In this episode, you'll hear: The Origin of Freedom Prayer: How an engineer's mind gave structure to a model for inner healing and spiritual formation.

Join Andrew as he explores what the Bible truly teaches about healing and shares incredible testimonies from real people who have experienced God's healing power in their lives.

In this episode, cold-case homicide detective and Christian apologist J. Warner Wallace walks through the "spiritual crime scene" of his own journey from skeptical naturalist to follower of Jesus. Drawing on decades of investigative experience, he explains why the usual reasons people give for being Christians ("I was raised this way" or "I had an experience") are not uniquely Christian, and why the real question is whether the Gospels record what actually happened in the first century. You'll hear how eyewitness variation in the Gospel accounts first caught his attention, how the standard jury instructions for testing witnesses can be applied to the New Testament, and why abductive reasoning from four key facts about Jesus points most reasonably to the resurrection. J. Warner also unpacks his memorable distinction between "belief that" and "belief in," using a bulletproof vest story from an officer-involved shooting to show what genuine, evidence-based trust in Christ looks like when the stakes are life and death. Along the way, he addresses miracles in other world religions, the rising generational question "Is Christianity good and worth caring about?", and the power of God-honoring content to reshape our culture.

Greg answers questions about whether God has always been Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, his thoughts on women in ministry, how a layperson who isn't into apologetics can defend the idea that Jesus is the only way, and how to approach loved ones who are following a false prophet. Topics: Has God always consisted of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, was Jesus always intended to come in the same form of those created in his image, and does it necessarily follow that if God were to create anything, it would have to include beings made in his image? (02:00) What are your thoughts on women in ministry? (16:00) Do you have any ideas on how a layperson who is not into apologetics can defend the idea that Jesus is the only way? (38:00) How should I approach loved ones who are in a house church that follows a “prophet” who teaches things that are contrary to classical Christianity and even the gospel?

When we experience hardship because of our advocacy for the Lord, we should remember it's not a desperate season—it's a season of blessing. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our assignments from God and the encouragement He offers in the midst of turmoil. Scripture repeatedly reminds us that our missions here on Earth won't always be easy, but Jesus tells us He is always with us and there are rewards for perseverance. Pastor Allen draws from the lives of messengers like Jeremiah, Daniel, and the apostle Paul to show how God preserved and rewarded their endurance. Let's remember to be encouraged and not afraid when we travel through shadowed valleys because we know God is walking with us as we fulfill His purposes.

What if becoming Catholic wasn't just a class, but a public commitment that changes your entire life? Gomer and Dave unpack the Rite of Acceptance into the Order of Catechumens in the OCIA process and why it marks a serious turning point in someone's journey toward Christ. They explore how the early Church treated baptism as a life-altering decision, why the Church publicly “receives” catechumens, and what it means to say yes to following Jesus in a real, concrete way. They also discuss conversion, spiritual warfare, and why modern discipleship often lacks the weight it once carried. We want to hear from you!

Yesterday I gave you a new name you couldn't pronounce, but a powerful promise from our God through a name he reveals. Remember, Yahweh M – God’s promise of actively sanctifying you to make you holy simply by relationship with him. Not through your perfection, but through his. Not by your works, but the works already done for you. And because of this, you can surrender and find sweet rest. Now today, we will study a name you really know. A name you can pronounce. A name you can understand. And we will see God's perfect fulfillment of this name in the work of Jesus. Psalm 23:1 (You complete the sentence) – “The LORD is my …. SHEPHERD” Yes, God is our shepherd, meaning he is our guide, our provider, and our protector. He is present, and he is personally aware of YOU. This is your game changer! Recognize, you are the sheep. The one created and designed to need help. You were never intended to know the way. You were never expected to get there on your own. You simply can't – you're the sheep. You were designed to need a shepherd. Ezekiel 34:11-12, This is what the Sovereign LORD says, “I myself will search and find my sheep. I will be like a shepherd looking for his scattered flock. I will find my sheep and rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on that dark and cloudy day.” Have you ever had one of those dark, cloudy days? One of those days that rocked your world and caused you to get lost in the darkness? One of those days that made you question everything you thought you knew. Yes, those are the days when sheep tend to get scattered. We run and hide in our thoughts and try to isolate from the pain. And my friend, don't you know that's when you are in the most danger? Running and hiding is never your answer. If you watch a few nature shows on Africa, you will quickly see the lesson play out. If there's a group of zebra (which by the way are called a dazzle), and those zebra are being chased by a lion, they are safe as long as they stay together. But inevitably, do you know what happens – there's one who strays from the dazzle and runs to hide by itself. THAT'S THE ONE THAT GETS EAT EVERY TIME. What's the moral of the story? Don't run and hide. Stay with your people. I've intentionally created my own small zebra herd to go through life with. We are accountability sisters. We don't let each other hide. If one is suffering, we all gather around. If one is struggling, we pick them up. We continually call on the God for each other. Because here's the truth, our enemy is like a lion! 1 Peter 5:8, “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.” God tells us he is the shepherd finding his sheep that have scattered. He is rescuing them from the places where they run on their dark, hard days of life. Girl, if you've been hiding, he's looking for you! Ezekiel 34 goes on to say in verses 15-16, “I myself will tend my sheep and give them a place to lie down in peace, says the Sovereign LORD. I will search for my lost ones who strayed away, and I will bring them safely home again. I will bandage the injured and strengthen the weak.” Wow, what a promise we have from God. He is our shepherd. To study a shepherd is to study the ways of our God. A shepherd doesn't just watch sheep, he LEADS his sheep. The shepherd knows what his sheep need and he knows where to find it. He knows where those green pastures are. He knows where those still waters are. Every step, he leads his sheep to what they need. A shepherd fights for his sheep. There's always a lion looking to devour that helpless sheep and without a shepherd to protect them, they will never survive. Scripture talks about King David as a young boy being a shepherd to his father's sheep. He became strong and ready for battle against the giant Goliath because he had been fighting off lions to protect his father's sheep for a long time. A shepherd is actively fighting to protect his sheep. You simply have no idea the battles God fought for you just YESTERDAY. You are very likely completely unaware of all God did to protect you from harm. That's the thing about sheep – we can be completely clueless about the dangers. We can be so hyper focused on trying to run to the next pasture that we are oblivious of the lion that was waiting around that corner. But the shepherd knew and the shepherd protected. Do you ever wonder why where you wanted to go and what you wanted to do didn't work out? Do you ever wonder why you can't just go where you want to go and have it the way you want it? LIONS!!!!!! Hidden dangers of the enemy. You may be clueless, but your shepherd is not. He redirects you out of protection. How about you stop fighting against his guidance and trust him. Once again, we're back to that same word again – SURRENDER. The LORD is your shepherd – sweet sheep, will you trust him? Will you go where he is leading you? Will you trust where he guides? Will you lay down and rest when he says to stop? Will you stop wandering off convinced there's something better somewhere else? When a sheep is injured, the shepherd literally carries them. He lovingly binds up their wounds and brings them healing. He restores them. This is the work of the shepherd. And the LORD says, THAT IS WHO I AM FOR YOU, my girl. I AM YOUR SHEPHERD. A shepherd doesn't just show up for working hours and then leave. No, a shepherd lives with his sheep. He walks with them. He lays down with them. He stays with the sheep. The truth is, you are never alone. You are never in this by yourself. You never have to look out for yourself all on your own. Whether you know it or not, you've had a shepherd right there with you every day of your life. If the Lord is your shepherd, you are never lost, you are never alone, and you are never without what you truly need. You are perfectly cared for. You can call on the Shepherd. That's who God is for you. He is your guide. He is your provider. He is your protector. And he's sent a GOOD SHEPHERD to be forever with you. That's our Jesus! Here's what Jesus says in John 10, starting in verse 11, “I am the GOOD SHEPHERD. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep. I am the GOOD SHEPHERD: I know my own sheep, and they know me.” You can call him GOOD SHEPHERD. You can CALL ON the GOOD SHEPHERD. You can absolutely COUNT ON the GOOD SHEPHERD to show up for you. He literally knows you. He knows precisely where you are at this very moment, and he has a good place to take you to next. Isn't that amazing to think that our Good Shepherd actually sees what is ahead for you and is continually leading you to that good place?!!! And he knows every threat along the way so he protects you. He knows every need for the journey so he provides for you. If you get hurt on the way, he heals you. He stays close. But if you get yourself a wild hair and decide to not stay close to the Good Shepherd, he will go search for you and rescue you. If you're the one who is hiding, he is looking for you. If you're the one who has strayed, you're not beyond his reach, just fall back into his arms. If you're one who is hurting, let him heal you. If you're one who is worried about future pastures, stay close and let him show you the way. God made a promise to be your shepherd, and he sent his only son to be YOUR GOOD SHEPHERD! You can call him by name now. Good Shepherd, this sheep really needs you today.

(Acts 8:31-38) The Christian life is meant to advance the good news of Jesus—personally, practically, and prayerfully. We must point wandering souls to the way of life. We are to be Spirit-filled and Scripture-filled, learning key gospel texts, and using questions and conversations as natural entry points to share Christ. This lesson explores Philip the evangelist's approach—recognizing God-placed opportunities, using the Bible as the roadmap to point any text to Jesus, and understanding believer's baptism as the confession-following sign of faith illustrated by the Ethiopian's response.

Russell welcomes McKay Coppins to talk about his latest for The Atlantic, a deeply personal and unsettling experiment with online sports betting, which opened a window into the addictive architecture of modern gambling, and the quiet ways it can take hold of a life. Together, they explore not just the mechanics of gambling, but its deeper implications: how it alters our attention, distorts our relationships, fuels anger and illusion, and increasingly reshapes everything from sports to politics to everyday life. Coppins–a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints–even remarks at the ways the experiment affected his prayer life. If you've wondered how sports betting has become so popular, or why younger men are being held tightly by its grasp, you might find this episode enlightening. This is a conversation about more than just betting, it's about desire, discipline, and the kinds of guardrails we don't realize we need until they're gone.
