In this conversation, Victor Veith, a prominent figure in child advocacy, discusses the intersection of faith and child protection. He shares his journey into child advocacy, the impact of vicarious trauma on professionals in the field, and the church's historical indifference to child abuse. Victor emphasizes the importance of education, both for the church and for individuals, in addressing and preventing abuse. He also explores the spiritual wounds inflicted on victims and the need for churches to create safe environments for children. The conversation touches on corporal punishment, the lessons from Martin Luther's experiences, and the dangers of internet pornography, ultimately calling for a proactive approach to child protection within faith communities.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Child Advocacy and Faith08:14 The Impact of Trauma on Faith13:32 The Church's Indifference to Child Abuse22:03 Cognitive Dissonance and Child Abuse27:42 The Need for Community Awareness33:20 Corporal Punishment and Its Misinterpretation43:45 Lessons from Martin Luther's Experience54:39 Spiritual Wounds: The Intersection of Trauma and Faith01:02:41 Creating Safe Spaces: Church and Community Responsibilities01:11:57 The Call to Action: Addressing Abuse in the Church01:23:42 Navigating the Aftermath: Support for Survivors and Offenders01:31:32 charlieungemach-outro (1).mp4Victor's Links: Freedom for the Captives - https://freedomforcaptives.com/GRACE - https://www.netgrace.org/Center for Faith & Child Protection - https://zeroabuseproject.org/for-professionals/cfcp/(Book) Here We Stand: A Lutheran Response to Child Abuse - https://wipfandstock.com/9798385205769/here-we-stand/(Book) On This Rock: Centering the Christian Response to Child Abuse on the Words of Jesus: https://a.co/d/072rKL84(Article) Pastoral Guidance on the Corporal Punishment of Children(Article) Until the Blood Ran: the Influence of Child Physical abuse in the Life & Works of Martin Luther(Article) Applying Law & Gospel in Cases of child abuse(Article) Pastoral Care for Adults Expressing a sexual attraction to childrenGird Up Links:Website - https://www.girdupministries.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/girdup_podcast/YouTube - https://youtube.com/@girdupministries4911?si=bJQOUakikV4aUbc9

Pastor Steph is Lead Pastor of Mill City Church in Northeast Minneapolis, the co-host with Jo Saxton of the Lead Stories podcast, and author of two books, Stay Curious (Fortress) and Make A Move (Broadleaf). Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: the Rev. Dr. Nathaniel Adishian, Dr. John Anthony Dunne, Dr. Brandon Hurlbert, and Dr. Grace Sangalang Ng. Hosted on Acast.

Pastor Andrew Peterson provides a pastoral and biblical word about recent events in the Twin Cities and our shared call as followers of Jesus.

A Christian Response to Polarisation How do we love our enemies in a polarised world? It's difficult to engage with those we have deep disagreements with, and doing so can often feel like compromising on our own convictions. This is particularly true with religious or political groups, and Christians can often become entrenched in their positions and unable to meaningfully connect with those we disagree with. On this episode, Kenny is speaking to Dr David Stuart about his Doctoral thesis entitled: Learning to Love - a Theological Response to our Polarised World. He proposes a way to love our enemies as Christ commands us to, and open ourselves to seeing them and ourselves in a new, more clear light - even becoming more faithful to our own commitment to Christ in the process. Enjoy!

Can a Poetic Pause Help us Embrace the In-Between Moments of the Season?   On this special Christmas Day episode of the Good Faith Podcast, host Curtis Chang and singer-songwriter Sandra McCracken each explore the nativity, the "space between" Christ's first coming and second coming, and how Christian faith holds grief and joy together in a world that often "does not mesh with Jesus."

Welcome to the Wednesday Adult Bible Study. This week we will hear from guest speaker Davis Hill, as he brings a message on the "Christian Response to Evil".

In this episode of the C-Suite for Christ podcast, we're going to war with one of the most destructive deceptions of our time: the transgender movement. This is not a political discussion. This is a spiritual war. The transgender movement isn't a debate about identity; it's a full-frontal assault on the image of God Himself. It's a deception that whispers to our children that their bodies are a mistake, that tells parents affirmation is love, and that demands the Church trade truth for tolerance.Let's call it what it is: a rebellion against the Creator. The world labels the words "male and female" as hate speech, but we call it holy scripture. The time for silent, comfortable Christianity is over. We can't cover the world in Christ if we're afraid of the world's opinion.This episode isn't about hate. It's about truth—the kind of truth that confronts lies, protects children, and ultimately saves souls.Buckle up. This isn't about politics—it's about principalities. This is a battle for the very image of God."So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." – Genesis 1:27Episode Highlights:07:20 - Nearly one out of every 20 teenagers in America is now identifying as something other than their biological sex. That's not biology. It's indoctrination. And it's happening fast. There's been an explosion of confusion. Not because kids suddenly woke up trapped in the wrong bodies, but because a movement has been relentlessly telling them that they are.14:43 - This battle over gender isn't just a culture war. It's a spiritual war. It's not about pronouns, politics, or personal preferences. It's about the very foundation of creation, If Satan can convince society that we can rewrite what God has written, then he's convinced society that we no longer need God at all. That's what's at stake here.25:07 - Truth without love is cruelty. But love without truth is compromise. We don't mock, insult, or hate people who identify as transgender. We love those people. But we love them enough to tell them the truth. If your definition of love allows someone to walk toward destruction unchallenged, then I'm sorry, that ain't love. It's neglect.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite 

In this urgent and candid conversation, Pat Kahnke and author Amy Hawk confront the explosive new emails linking Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein — and the deafening silence from many in the American church. With receipts in hand, they ask: How long will Christians keep covering for Trump? When is it enough?

There's easy no way around it—last week's election results were a solid punch to the gut for those of us who care about life, family and freedom. We're still processing the fact that a majority of Virginians have no qualms voting for candidates who celebrate unlimited abortion and even fantasize about political murder. It's heartbreaking… it raises serious questions. What do the numbers tell us about how we got here? And where did things go wrong? And most importantly—as Christians how do we rise to this moment with courage and biblical clarity? We're going to break that all down today.EDIT: The Pro-life advocacy day is on January 15th, NOT January 16th as state in the episode.

Tim & Samenthur Blake and Pierre & Shara Saget join Eikon to discuss the concerning rise of racist ideologies and rhetoric from circles that claim to represent Christ.

In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable podcast the guys continue their discussion from the last episode regarding the response to Trump's Ballroom. Is the Lib outrage fake? What about changes that have been made over the decades by other American Presidents? Will the Ballroom actually save taxpayer dollars? The guys also look at Government Aid/Benefits/Hand-outs--will the lack of these resources cause "Theft Retaliation?" Have we created an "entitled" society? What is the biblical stance on accepting aid or handouts--is it against biblical principles? And what is the proper Christian response to Halloween? Is it an "evil" holiday? Does it promote wickedness?

In this podcast, Dr. Alan John, a medical doctor and Christian apologist, explores LGBTQ issues in the Indian context. We ask the hard questions: Is being intersex the same as being transgender? What really causes gender dysphoria? Can surgeries actually change your sex? From Kerala's progressive policies to the wider cultural shifts in India, we dive into the medical facts, philosophical questions, ethical concerns, and the Christian response. How can we hold truth and compassion together in a rapidly changing culture?Links and citation:The Christian Response to Homosexuality – Part 1 (https://blog.saftapologetics.com/the-christian-response-to-homosexuality-part-1/)The Christian Response to Homosexuality – Part 2 (https://blog.saftapologetics.com/the-christian-response-to-homosexuality-part-2/)The Christian Response to Homosexuality – Part 3 (https://blog.saftapologetics.com/the-christian-response-to-homosexuality-part-3/)How Our Sexuality Images The Gospel | Linda Seiler | Day 3 | Session 2 | Areopagus 2022 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0YWMT_VAuA)Equipping the believer defend their faith anytime, anywhere.

As a baby boomer child of the 1950s, I was taught to hate war. For my generation, war was an unmitigated evil (though, happily, this notion did not spill over into hating or disrespecting our soldiers—later described as “peace-keepers”). Our generation's hatred of war was well expressed in the 1969 heart-felt anti-war song popularized by Edwin Starr, some of the lyrics of which were, “War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!...War I despise, ‘cause it means destruction of innocent lives…It ain't nothing but a heart-breaker, friend only to the under-taker!”

In this podcast episode, Dr. Michael Thiessen, Pastor Nate Wright, and Dr. Joe Boot discuss the implications of Charlie Kirk's death and the church's response to it. They express concern over the reluctance of many church leaders to acknowledge Kirk's martyrdom and the broader cultural implications of this silence. The conversation delves into the truncation of the gospel, the political nature of the Christian message, and the need for the church to engage with cultural issues rather than retreating into silence. They emphasize the importance of recognizing the gospel as a transformative force in society and the necessity of addressing violence and injustice from a biblical perspective.

The Christian and conservative world morn the loss of a champion in the assassination of Turning Point America founder Charlie Kirk. How should we as Christians respond?

As a fifth grader, Charlie Kirk surrendered his life to Jesus, confessing his sin and acknowledging his need for a Savior. That decision set him on a path of growth, conviction, and public witness that deeply impacted the youth of our country. His open discourse on campuses and his public presence gave him a platform for the gospel and introduced an entire generation to the name of Jesus Christ. He believed his mission was to confront the sin in our culture and boldly proclaim truth, defend the faith, and call believers to live unashamedly in the world.Charlie's ministry and activism were marked by a radical belief that Scripture is not only true but also sufficient to guide every area of life — personal, cultural, and political. He called Christians to stand firm in their identity, resist compromise, and let the Word of God shape their actions. His life, though cut short, serves as a living example of what it means to take Jesus at His word and to spend every ounce of energy for the sake of the gospel and the advancement of God's kingdom.Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and outspoken apologist, was assassinated this week. Over the last few days, we have watched as the nation has divided further along ideological lines. Why did this happen? What does it mean for our country? And what does this situation mean for Christians?Today on the show, we have invited Brian Hedges, pastor of Heartland Bible Fellowship in Harrisonville, MO, to chat with us about the impact of Kirk's death and how Christians should respond to this tragedy.Visit https://www.lfbi.org/learnmore
