In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell sit down with Scott Symington to discuss one of the strangest and most culturally explosive topics of our time: UFOs, aliens, and the growing belief that disclosure could challenge Christianity itself.  Are UFOs evidence of extraterrestrial life? Do aliens undermine the Bible? And what should Christians make of the increasing number of reports surrounding unexplained aerial phenomena?  The conversation explores the scientific probability of intelligent alien life, the physical challenges of interstellar travel, the history of UFO encounters, and why some researchers have begun considering an interdimensional—not extraterrestrial—explanation for the phenomenon.   Scott on the God Hypothesis, Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2hWAcmuctE   Scott on the God Hypothesis, Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B_S89aWsG8    Learn about Abdu's urgent new book, Fake ID: How AI and Identity Ideology Are Collapsing Reality—And What to Do About It (David C Cook, 2026) at https://realitycollapsebook.com/.     

In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell sit down with Dr. Carrie Gress to discuss one of the most influential—and controversial—forces in modern culture: feminism.  Drawing from her book Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can't Be Fused with Christianity, Carrie explores the historical roots of feminism, its vision of men and women, and why she believes its promises have ultimately left many people more isolated, confused, and unhappy.  The conversation also touches on motherhood, the sexual revolution, identity, the surprising relationship between feminism and the occult, and why Christianity historically offered a radically different vision for women.  Carrie Gress, Ph.D., is a scholar at the Institute for Human Ecology at Catholic University of America. She is the founder and editor at the online women's magazine TheologyofHome.com and the author of ten books, including the Theology of Home series, The Anti-Mary Exposed, and The End of Woman: How Smashing the Patriarchy Has Destroyed Us.

In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray takes on a series of challenging questions from students at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.  Can the Bible really be trusted if it's been changed? How do we make sense of different religions like Christianity and Islam? And what about those who never hear the Gospel, or the role of religious experience in knowing what's true?    Learn about Abdu's urgent new book, Fake ID: How AI and Identity Ideology Are Collapsing Reality—And What to Do About It (David C Cook, 2026) at https://realitycollapsebook.com/.     

In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell sit down with Sabrina Joy Stevens to explore what happens when the systems designed to combat "disinformation" begin to lose their grip on truth.  As a former insider in the anti-disinformation world, Sabrina shares her journey from activist to critic—and why the narrative she once defended eventually stopped adding up. Along the way, we examine the rise of institutional groupthink, the pressure to conform, and what it means to pursue truth when it comes at a personal cost.

In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell respond to viewer questions about miracles and free will.  First, why don't we seem to see miracles today the way we do in the Bible—and is modern skepticism really as rational as it claims? Then we turn to another perennial question: do human beings truly have free will, or are our choices determined?    Learn about Abdu's urgent new book, Fake ID: How AI and Identity Ideology Are Collapsing Reality—And What to Do About It (David C Cook, 2026) at https://realitycollapsebook.com/.

Stephanie here! I have often found that, when I'm discouraged, or when I struggle to see things from the perspective that God might have on a situation, a relationship, maybe my own heart, I find it so useful to dig into Scripture and look at the stories of people in Scripture who may have experienced something similar. I also find that, beyond Scripture, it is useful to look at the lives of faithful men and women in history, saints who have really clung to God, and who have experienced so much of his goodness, his holiness, his beauty, his faithfulness, his kindness, his generosity. I love to spend time through biographies of these people of faith. I'm looking forward to meeting them in heaven and learning from them even more. Which means,  I love when a new book comes out that invites me to do just that. And the book Portrait of God by Jack Mooring does just that. I'm welcoming Jack today. And he experienced the same thing that I'm describing to you. His book is a bit of a guidebook. It uses the stories of influential Christian figures like C.S. Lewis, Saint Augustine, Fanny Crosby, and so many more, to help us, believers, find stability in our faith amidst the chaos of this world. He and I chat about the fact that this world is pretty chaotic right now. This book and this conversation hope to be one of the tools that equips us in this ever-changing turbulent world we live in. Now, to recognize God's goodness in the midst of chaos, well, I know it can be challenging. Our faith can so often seem like a roller coaster as a result of that. Jack says, “I've learned that the Christian life is less about learning and more about remembering. I wrote this book to remind myself and the rest of us, forgetful people, that this is God whom we love and he really is who he says he is.” MORE ABOUT THE BOOK “PORTRAIT OF GOD In an ever-changing, often turbulent world, recognizing God's goodness can be challenging. Many Christians describe their faith as a rollercoaster, with seasons of feeling close to God and having a clear sense of His presence, and others where He seems distant. Author Jack Mooring experienced this personally, and by reflecting on and learning from the lives of the faithful men and women in history, he uncovered powerful reminders of God's unchanging truths. Mooring's new book, Portrait of God: Rediscovering the Attributes of God through the Stories of His People (David C Cook, August 6, 2024) serves as a guidebook, using the stories of influential Christian figures like C.S. Lewis and St. Augustine to help modern-day believers find stability in their faith amidst the chaos of the world. In Portrait of God, Mooring provides thought-provoking questions and a list of further readings about each faith leader, allowing readers to dig even deeper into the truths about the unchanging character of God. “I've learned that the Christian life is less about learning and more about remembering,” writes Mooring. “I grew up in a rich tradition of truth, but life's lies have often buried those true ideas about God. So I wrote this book to remind myself and the rest of us forgetful people that this God we love is really who He says He is. This book is an attempt to rediscover our wonder about who He is. For each attribute of God, I chose a person in church history who actually experienced that part of God's nature. The goal is that, as we hear the stories of these people, we can get a glimpse of God through their eyes.” Each chapter explores an attribute of God through a person in church history who radically experienced His nature, applying it as a brushstroke to our portrait. Readers will uncover: ●           Faith: How an all-powerful God worked miracles in the life of Kathryn Kuhlman. ●           Holiness: What Augustine of Hippo's life in a secular world teaches us about God. ●           Compassion: How William and Catherine Booth's service to others radiated God's love.

We're back with our Unapologetic Conversations series, this week looking at how to talk to our kids! How do we help our kids realize and reach their God-given dreams? How can we encourage them in their passions (even if those passions may be different from our own plans for their lives)? Julia sits down with Bill Reeves—former CEO of KLOVE and current head of David C. Cook Publishing—to talk all about raising up this next generation! Bill has worked in Christian media for 35+ years, and is a father and grandfather. His best piece of advice for how to talk to our kids about their dreams: stop trying to write your kid's story, instead help them read the story God has already written for their lives. Julia and Bill also discuss why Christians should be encouraged to step into the media and entertainment worlds, how the church can do a better job of pointing the next generation in this direction, and Bill's best advice for kids and teens wanting to pursue the arts. If you're a parent, or anyone hoping to impact the next generation for the Lord, don't miss this conversation! Learn more about Bill and his work with David C. Cook on their website.

On today's episode is my new friend and new writer, June Chapman, author of the recently released book “Peace in the Waiting.” In a candid conversation, June shares her journey of finding peace and purpose amidst grief, depression, and uncertainty during the challenging times of COVID-19. Alone and grappling with questions about eternity and the fate of her loved ones, June found solace in writing—a calling she initially resisted. However, as she poured out her heart on paper, she realized that she was not only writing for herself but also for others who needed to hear words of hope and comfort. Through her book, June discovered a profound sense of abiding peace—a peace she now shares with others as she encourages them to trust in God's timing and sovereignty. She emphasizes the importance of loving people without the burden of trying to save them, recognizing that each person is an image bearer of God deserving of grace and mercy. Drawing inspiration from Psalm 3:8, June reminds us that salvation belongs to the Lord, and our prayers, even when seemingly unanswered, hold weight because of Who we pray to. She encourages listeners to incline their hearts to God, embracing unanswered prayers as opportunities to submit their will to His divine wisdom. In the words of Charles Spurgeon, “There is profit in all labor, but most of all in the work of intercession.” June's story is a testament to the power of trusting God's timing and allowing Him to work in our lives, even in the midst of waiting and uncertainty.

Did you know courage is a character trait developed over time? Like weightlifting, men have to practice, struggle and persevere to build the “muscles” of courage until it becomes who we are. The good news: God wired men to be courageous. Like a cattle brand, God has stamped the desire to be courageous into men. But it's up to you to make that choice. In this final message in the “Take Courage” series from the MAG, Pastor Jim Ramos shares how we can make sure our character is SOLID and not easily swayed by the worldly pressures men face.

Ep. 90 The Chosen: Best of Episodes with Dallas Jenkins, Jonathan Roumie, Noah James, and Jordan Walker Ross ABOUT THIS PODCAST:The fourth season of "The Chosen" is now showing in theaters across the country. Previous episodes of The Paul Cardall Podcast have featured Dallas Jenkins, the creator, writer, and director of this widely acclaimed biblical series. Guests also included Jonathan Roumie, who portrays Jesus; Noah James, playing Andrew; and Jordan Walker Ross, in the role of Little James. In the podcast's 90th episode, listeners will enjoy highlights from Paul's interviews with these actors and the director, conducted over the course of seasons one through three. Listen to the full episodes with Dallas Jenkins (Director)Jonathan Roumie (Jesus)Noah James (Andrew)Jordan Walker Ross (Little James) ABOUT THE CHOSENThe Chosen is an American Christian historical drama television series. Created, directed, and co-written by filmmaker Dallas Jenkins, it is the first multi-season series about the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. Primarily set in Judaea and Galilee in the 1st century, the series centers on Jesus and the different people who met and followed or otherwise interacted with him. The series stars Jonathan Roumie as Jesus, alongside Shahar Isaac, Elizabeth Tabish, Paras Patel, Noah James, and George H. Xanthis.After Jenkins noted there had never been a multi-season, episode-based portrayal of Jesus that could be "binge-watched" like shows on streaming mediums such as Netflix, he set out to create the series in partnership with Angel Studios, formerly VidAngel. With the intention of differing from previous portrayals of Jesus, he crafted a story arc which focused more on the people who encountered Jesus and viewed him through their eyes. He has stated in interviews that he sought to present Jesus in a way that was more "personal, intimate, [and] immediate"The show's producers have primarily used crowdfunding on the Angel Studios platform to finance production, and it continues to be the most successful crowdfunded TV series or film project. Additional revenue comes through licensing to other streaming platforms and TV networks, such as Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, and Netflix. Merchandise and video sales provide additional sources of revenue, as have limited premiere runs in cinemas. The show has been further adapted into a series of novels by Jenkins's father, author Jerry B. Jenkins, a series of graphic novels by Corvus Comics, and companion Bible study materials published by David C. Cook.According to a 2022 analysis commissioned by the show's producers, 108 million had seen at least part of the show through the app and streaming platforms. Translation into as many as 600 languages is being funded by the Come and See Foundation. PAUL'S MUSIC & SOCIAL MEDIAhttp://www.paulcardall.comhttp://www.facebook.com/paulcardallmusichttp://www.instagram.com/paulcardall Show your support by subscribing to the podcast.

Should I stay or should I go? Many people with faith backgrounds are asking themselves these questions the older they get, and the more the world around them changes and challenges their faith.
