Lee Strobel is an American Christian author, apologist, speaker, and former investigative journalist who transitioned from an atheist investigative journalist into a leading Christian apologist and author, blending rigorous investigative methods with his faith journey to influence millions worldwide. Born in Arlington Heights, Illinois, Strobel earned a Bachelor of Journalism degree from the University of Missouri and a Master of Studies in Law degree from Yale Law School; growing up in a nominally Christian but non-practicing household, he became a committed atheist who viewed Christianity as irrational until 1979, when his wife Leslie's conversion prompted a nearly two-year personal investigation into the historical evidence for Jesus. On November 8, 1981, at age 29, Strobel became a Christian, an experience he describes as “falling in love with Jesus” while interviewing scholars and examining ancient manuscripts. A 14-year veteran of The Chicago Tribune where he served as award-winning legal editor, Strobel earned Illinois' highest honors for investigative reporting and public service journalism from United Press International before pivoting full-time to Christian apologetics. He is a New York Times bestselling author of over 40 books and curricula—including the seminal The Case for Christ (1998), which has sold over 5 million copies—with total sales exceeding 18 million copies translated into 40 languages. His “Case for…” series, along with titles like The Case for Faith, The Case for Miracles, and The Case for Heaven, applies courtroom-style evidence to core doctrines. Strobel, currently serves as Founding Director of the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics at Colorado Christian University. He is described by The Washington Post as “one of the evangelical community's most popular apologists,” he has received multiple Gold Medallion Awards and the 2023 Pillar Award for History from the Museum of the Bible. Married to Leslie since 1973, Strobel is father to daughter Alison (novelist and homeschooling expert) and son Kyle (professor of spiritual theology at Biola University's Talbot School of Theology), and he continues to equip believers worldwide with intellectual tools to defend and share their faith effectively.

Merry Christmas!In this heartfelt Christmas Eve service message, Pastor Karl explores the profound truth that Christmas is far more than a baby in a manger—it's the culmination of God's everlasting love story that began in the Garden of Eden.Drawing parallels between Eden and Bethlehem, Pastor Karl unpacks how God's love has always been revealed through three key ways: proximity (drawing near to walk with us), provision (supplying what we cannot provide for ourselves, including forgiveness and eternal life), and parameters (loving boundaries for our protection and flourishing).Yet humanity's response—from Adam and Eve to today—has often been to doubt God's goodness, reject His nearness, and step outside His guardrails. Even so, God's relentless love pursues us, covers our shame, and satisfies His justice through the promised Seed: Jesus Christ, whose virgin birth and sacrificial death crush the enemy's power.Pastor Karl challenges us: Many love the warm vibe of Christmas but avoid its weighty claims. True celebration means embracing God's love fully—belonging to His family, becoming like Christ, giving our lives in response, and going on mission to share His love.This message invites everyone to respond to God's pursuit, whether by placing faith in Jesus for the first time or recommitting to live in joyful obedience within His loving parameters.Join us as Pastor Karl and his son Caleb dive deeper into these truths in a special family message. Come experience the depth of God's love that didn't begin in Bethlehem—but was gloriously fulfilled there.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

First, from June 19, 2025: Brian Recker, a former Marine, former evangelical pastor, current theologian, speaker and writer, has developed a healthy social media following and solid presence on Substack. His focus? Deconstructing his faith to find a more inclusive spirituality - which often runs afoul of today's right-wing aligned American evangelical movement.He's just the kind of guest to discuss the 'Ted Cruz v. Tucker Carlson' dust-up over Cruz' limp grasp on scripture he believes commands him (and the U.S. apparently) to support Israel unequivocally.Recker and I discuss this at length, along with the use of religion as a tool of manipulation by pols like Cruz, and also religion's manipulation of politicians like Cruz, too. I also asked, is Trump using religion to manipulate Republicans or is he the one being manipulated by religion?------Fast forward to today, Christmas Eve: Then, meet Joshua Doss, Chicago-based political strategist, pollster and social media influencer. Listen to one of his latest social media gems where he calls out Georgia's white evangelical voting bloc and their inconsistencies with their Christianity and their rebuking of REVERAND Raphael Warnock, Senator from Georgia, while their embrace of one Nicki Minaj.

In Week 3 of In The Neighborhood, we turn to Jesus' final words in Matthew 28:16–20 and see that Christmas is a story of mission. The God who came near in Christ now sends His people out with purpose.Jesus' promise to be with us always transforms the way we understand the Great Commission—not as a burden, but as a continuation of the Christmas story. Because God came to us, we now go to others, carrying the good news of His presence into our neighborhoods, workplaces, and everyday relationships.This message challenges us to see mission not as something distant or optional, but as a natural response to the God who is with us.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

SummaryIn this episode of the Text-Driven Podcast, Timothy Pigg and Carter Jurkovich discuss the impact of the digital church on the gospel and ministry. They explore the concept of commodification, where the gospel is treated as a common product rather than a sacred message. The conversation delves into the dangers of diluting the gospel to attract viewers and the importance of measuring ministry impact beyond mere likes and views. They encourage pastors to seek biblical examples in their practices and to focus on building faithful ministries that produce genuine fruit for the kingdom of God.TakeawaysThe digital church has commodified the gospel, making it common.Evangelism disconnected from the local church is ineffective.The gospel's dilution leads to a focus on self-improvement rather than sin.Measuring ministry success by likes and views is misleading.Genuine conversions require follow-up and community.The local church is essential for discipleship and growth.Pastors should seek biblical precedence for their ministry practices.The gospel should not be treated like a product on a shelf.Faithfulness in ministry is more important than popularity.Real fruit for the kingdom comes from faithful ministry.Sound bites"The gospel has become common like ketchup.""Jesus does not gauge success on likes.""Turn off your live stream on Sunday."Chapters00:00 Introduction to Text-Driven Podcast01:48 New Resources for Living Wisely02:48 The Digital Church and Its Impact03:40 Understanding Commodification of the Gospel06:46 The Commonness of the Gospel in Digital Spaces09:41 The Danger of a Diluted Gospel12:44 Measuring Ministry Impact in the Digital Age17:12 Encouragement for Pastors and Ministry LeadersText-Driven Resources LinksTEXT-DRIVEN WOMENApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/text-driven-women/id1638626764Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/39bprfuuuoBdiu3qpbNbSSTEXT-DRIVEN PODCASTApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/text-driven-podcast/id1558036179Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/58S8Z1wSnubt8AVFkH3e1kTEXT-DRIVEN BIBLE STUDIESThe Book of Philippians (Text-Driven Bible Study) (Text-Driven Bible Studies) https://a.co/d/1oypSB7Foundations: Genesis 1-11: Text-Driven Bible Study (Text-Driven Bible Studies) https://a.co/d/b77kWZAThe Book of Titus: Text-Driven Bible Study (Text-Driven Bible Studies) https://a.co/d/4RAQaalThe Seven Churches of Revelation: Revelation 1-5 (January 2026)CHURCH/FAMILY RESOURCESThe Local Church Matters https://a.co/d/5HNqbiQThe Seven Characteristics of a Text-Driven Woman (April 2026)Text-Driven Evangelism (January 2026)DEVOTIONALKnowing Jesus at Christmas: A 25-Day Devotional through the Gospel of Luke https://a.co/d/6YMm0a9Text-Driven Wisdom: A 31-Day Devotional through Proverbs https://a.co/d/17UC6jt

We are shaking things up in 2026--Make sure to JOIN US for ALL the content coming - https://join.unrefinedpodcast.comSome conversations feel like stepping into a warm room full of light, and this one definitely did. In this episode, we drift into that holiday crossroads where Scripture, history, memes, and misguided internet theology all collide. We talk about why Christmas is far more ancient, sacred, and deeply biblical than most people ever imagine, and why the “pagan origins” claims collapse under even a little sunlight. The conversation moves from the fall, to Abraham, to the prophets, to the early church, and then out into global Christian traditions that celebrate the incarnation in wildly different cultural ways. We explore unity vs. uniformity, Christian liberty, spiritual warfare, evangelism, and the beauty of Advent. And best of all — we unpack how the theology of Christmas leads us straight into worship, mission, and joy.

A sober look at global faithfulness serves as a mirror for believers who often forget the cost of following Christ. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar consider the weight of persecution as they reflect on how Christians in Turkey face real danger for sharing the gospel, a stark contrast to the ease of access in the United States. They note that believers in Muslim contexts live with constant questions about government intervention, yet persecution has unified the small Christian remnant. The guys affirm that it is understandable to feel nervous when sharing the gospel, since even Paul had concerns but still chose to obey God rather than man.The conversation shifts to what fuels courage, and the guys return to the cross where hostility met perfect love. They discuss how raising God's truths often sparks tension, which is why gentleness is crucial. Jesus warned that the world would hate His followers just as it hated Him, yet His response to persecution was marked by sacrifice and humility. The early church served instead of retaliating, but once Christianity was Romanized, this attitude changed; the guys encourage believers to recover a Christlike way of fighting for truth, especially when loving enemies feels unnatural.They then consider what believers should do when hostility comes from family. The call is to understand the other person's perspective while remaining faithful. Jesus delivered a perfect message and was still rejected, so modern believers should expect the same. The guys warn that Christians can invite ridicule by arguing instead of witnessing, forgetting that they, too, once stood opposed to the gospel. A humble heart aims to make the message clear so the lost might see their need for the Savior and trust God to bring salvation. Evangelism and discipleship go together, shaped by sincerity and reliance on the Lord.Finally, the guys note that many present-day atheists are less focused on the existence of God and more on social and cultural issues, which is why understanding cultural questions is important. Early believers lacked legal protection but relied on the Spirit, and the guys highlight prayer as the true source of strength. Oscar recalls moments when God made him feel incapable so he would depend on the Lord, while E.Z. often prays that unnecessary anxiousness would be removed. Authenticity cannot be faked, and believers should pray both before and after sharing the gospel. The call is to look to God's greatness, not the world's resistance, remembering that faithfulness often invites opposition rather than applause.Send us a textThanks for listening!

JOHN 12:1-13 - WALKING WITH JESUS - BRIAN SUMNER - 2025JOHN 12:1 "Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead. 2 There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. 3 Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.4 But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who would betray Him, said, 5 “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” 6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.7 But Jesus said, “Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of My burial. 8 For the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”The Plot to Kill Lazarus9 Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead. 10 But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, 11 because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.The Triumphal Entry12 The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out:“Hosanna!‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'The King of Israel!”To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY.

Is “The Age of Disclosure” something we should pay attention to and freak out, or is it just high-level clickbait? It costs $20 to stream. Is it worth it? Bryan Catherman and Josiah Walker don't know, but they do know that this isn't the first time Christians have freaked out over a documentary. In this episode of Salty Believer Unscripted, the guys discuss what Christians should do when they're invited to a freakout. What should Pastors do when their congregants bring these kinds of panic and worry? That's the topic of this discussion. Copyright 2025. Find more information at SaltyBeliever.com.

Have you ever found yourself moving through your days loving Jesus, yet longing to feel truly awake in your faith again? If your heart has been craving a deeper connection with Him—even if you can’t quite name the longing—you’re not alone. And this week’s conversation on The Love Offering Podcast may be just the gentle spark your soul has been needing. I had the joy of talking with actress, producer, and singer Jen Lilley about her new devotional, Wake Up Your Faith: 365 Daily Encounters with Jesus. Jen’s heart for the Lord shines through every page as she invites us into a more vibrant, Christ-centered life—one anchored in Scripture and strengthened by daily surrender. In our conversation, Jen shares how this devotional helps us: reignite our faith when life feels ordinary or heavy, claim the promises of God with confidence, experience the nearness of the Holy Spirit in everyday moments, and walk in the heavenly authority we’ve been given through Christ. This is an encouraging reminder that we don’t have to drift, settle, or live spiritually weary. God invites us to reclaim the ground the Enemy has tried to steal and to walk boldly in the purpose He designed for us. If you’re longing for a renewed rhythm with Jesus in the days ahead, I think Jen’s words—and her devotional—will bless you deeply.

How should we feel towards lost people, and in particular, when we don't share the gospel? How do we reconcile God's sovereignty and our responsibility to share? Jesus had compassion on the lost, and the Apostle Paul had unceasing anguish over the lost, and we should strive to have that same heart, and take responsibility to share the gospel with those around us.
