Most Christians misunderstand apologetics. They think it's arguing, intellectual snobbery, or something only “elite Christians” do. But Voddie Baucham said it best:“If you think apologetics doesn't work, you don't know apologetics — and you don't know me.”This episode breaks down what apologetics actually is:

Pastor Rob Byker joins us with a message from Matthew 6:13 and 1 Corinthians 10:12-13, titled “Lead Us Not Into Temptation." Every Christian faces three powerful foes: the world, the flesh and the devil. Each one seeks to draw us away from God's will, yet Jesus calls us to seek first His kingdom and His righteousness. On our own we are not strong enough to resist temptation, but God gives the strength we need to stay faithful. As Paul reminds us, “He is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”

Every Christian is blessed by God to be a member of a local church. And with this privilege comes the responsibility to be a responsible member of the church. Being entrusted with the keys of the Kingdom of God each member is to fulfil various responsibilities with reference to the what, the who, and the how of the gospel. We consider the text under the following headings. 1. Jesus' Confrontation (vv. 13–16) 2. Jesus' Affirmation (vv. 17–18) 3. Jesus' Assignment (v. 19)

In this episode, Jan shares a powerful mindset shift for Christian women entrepreneurs who are struggling to show up online. If you've ever second-guessed a post, delayed your launch, or shrunk back out of fear of being “too much,” this one's for you.We explore the spiritual side of visibility, the sneaky fear that hides behind phrases like “I don't want it to be about me,” and how imposter syndrome can disguise itself as humility. Jan reminds us that visibility in business isn't about being flashy — it's about being faithful.You'll walk away with real-talk encouragement, biblical truth, and a few bold affirmations to speak over your calling.What You'll Learn:Why visibility blocks are rarely just a “strategy” issueThe subtle difference between humility and hidingHow imposter syndrome can keep faith-based entrepreneurs stuckWhat it means to anchor your business in truth when fear creeps in4 affirmations to combat visibility fearsA mindset shift that makes your message magnetic to your ideal clientsMemorable Quotes:“There's a difference between humility and hiding. One honors God. The other masks fear.”“The enemy doesn't have to destroy your calling — he just has to convince you not to show up for it.”“God chose you — your voice, your story, your quirks — on purpose.”Reflect + Apply:This week, ask yourself:What does obedience look like for me today?Is fear driving my hesitation to show up?Whose voice am I listening to — God's or something else?And then?

In this episode of the C-Suite for Christ Podcast, we're declaring war on the counterfeit religions of Communism and Antifa. A spiritual war is raging for the soul of our nation, fought not with tanks, but with ideologies that have a single mission: to dethrone God.This episode pulls back the mask on two of the enemy's most effective weapons: Communism and Antifa. These aren't just political theories; they are counterfeit religions, preaching a gospel of rebellion, envy, and chaos. From Marx's blood-soaked history to the modern-day riots in our streets, the same serpent is at work, promising utopia while delivering tyranny.We're here to arm you with the truth. To expose the lies disguised as "social justice" and "equity." And to call the church to stop whispering while the world burns.Buckle up. This isn't a political debate; it's spiritual warfare."For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." – Ephesians 6:12Episode Highlights:32:17 - You can't legislate love or redistribute righteousness. Only Christ can do that. Communism enslaves people economically. Antifa enslaves them emotionally. One binds the body, the other binds the mind. Both promise liberation and deliver slavery.43:16 - Antifa's tactics don't end with the riots of 2020. They've evolved. The group learned that you don't need to burn cities when you can burn reputations. Cancel Culture is Antifa's digital weapon. Social pressure is its firebomb. Today they don't wear masks in March; they wear HR badges and moderate your social media.54:23 - Silence in the face of evil is not neutrality, it's surrender. Speaking truth in love is not hate speech, it's hope speech. The most loving thing you can do for someone lost in deception is to tell them the truth.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

Send us a textDating doesn't have to feel like a guessing game. We break down five clear red flags every Christian should watch for and show how trusting God, not the crowd, changes who you choose and how you choose. From spiritual alignment to character under pressure, we pull back the curtain on the patterns that predict a healthy marriage—or a painful one.We start with the heart of it all: if someone pulls you away from God, isolates you from church, or mocks spiritual disciplines, that's not love. Then we zoom into teachability and accountability—because an uncorrectable person becomes unleadable when life gets hard. We tackle dishonesty and secrecy, the silent killers that cloud conversations and erode peace. You'll hear why watching how a date treats servers, coworkers, and family reveals who they are when no one's grading their performance. And we unpack the cost of a partner with no vision or direction, plus how mismatched goals, theology, and values create constant friction.Along the way, we challenge the myth that romance equals readiness. Infatuation is effortless; mature love is built on aligned values, shared purpose, and honest dialogue. So we trade surface talk for deeper questions: money habits, family history, conflict style, faith convictions, and life vision. We also invite community into the process—mentors, pastors, and trusted friends who can spot the warning signs you might miss. To close, we share five practical discernment keys: pray before you play, ask trusted voices, observe not excuse, look for fruit, and follow the Holy Spirit's peace.If you're single, this is a guide to date with clarity and courage. If you're advising someone you love, it's a toolkit for wise counsel.

October 26, 2025The Apostle John describes his vision of the Second Coming of Jesus, the future event when Jesus will return to earth, conquer His enemies, and reign as King of the world. Every Christian on earth and in heaven is united in anticipating this climactic event. It is the culmination of the Book of Revelation and the highlight of the history of the world. At the end of the seven-year tribulation, the Antichrist's army will march to Israel to fight a “winner-takes-all” battle against Jesus, commonly called the Battle of Armageddon. Then Jesus will return to earth, destroy the Antichrist's army with a word, cast the Antichrist and his false prophet into the lake of fire, and establish His Kingdom on earth. A decisive victory.Revelation 19:11-21

This sermon challenges believers to recognize both the need and responsibility of sharing the gospel. From Romans 10:1–13, we learn that unbelievers must believe in Jesus alone for salvation—only through faith in Him can they be made right with God. For believers, Romans 9:14–15 emphasizes our calling to share this message: people cannot believe unless someone tells them. Every Christian has been sent with the good news, and sharing it is a beautiful act of obedience. We are called to meet people where they are, engage with genuine care, and take Spirit-led initiative. The gospel is simple yet powerful: all have sinned, Christ died for us, and through faith we receive eternal life.

Doing Something for God: The Missionary Call of Every Christian Today's Homily for the Feast of St. Luke the Evangelist . . . . . . reminds us that, like the 72 disciples Jesus sent out, we are all called to be missionaries. This missionary call doesn't necessarily mean traveling abroad . . . it begins in our own homes and communities. Faith and Mission The Homily illustrates this by comparing evangelization to talking about a favorite sport: we naturally speak about what we love. If we truly love Jesus, we should talk about Him with our family and friends and show His presence through our actions. Jesus sends His disciples in pairs, highlighting that faith is lived in community, not isolation. As followers of Christ, we are called to bring peace wherever we go and to represent God in our words and deeds.

Every day, our daughters are surrounded by cultural messages that claim to be empowering, positive, or even “spiritual.” From TikTok reels to Pinterest mantras to influencer hashtags, the slogans sound harmless—“Good vibes only,” “She believed she could, so she did,” “Trust the universe.” But as Christian parents, we have to ask: what's really behind those words? Are they pointing our girls toward God's truth—or leading them into deception?  In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden expose the subtle lies hidden in today's social media trends. With insight from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay, they discuss how the enemy uses the same old playbook he's used since the Garden of Eden—just packaged now in hashtags, aesthetics, and trending content. From horoscopes and crystals to “manifesting” dreams, what looks trendy and harmless can actually distort a girl's view of God when left unchecked.  Rather than responding with fear or panic, Rachael and Melissa share practical ways moms can disciple their daughters through these cultural messages. You'll hear tools to help your girl ask the right questions, test cultural claims against Scripture, and gain confidence in her identity as a child of God. The goal isn't to raise daughters who hide from culture—but to raise daughters so rooted in truth that they can spot the counterfeit before it takes root.  Scripture References:  1 John 4:1 — “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.”  2 Corinthians 10:5 — “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”  Ephesians 6:11 — “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.”  John 8:32 — “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  3 Key Truths to Remember:  Trendy ≠ Truth — Just because a message is popular online doesn't mean it aligns with God's Word.  Spot the Counterfeit — Teach your daughter to ask: “Where's the lie? How does this oppose God's design?”  Truth Sets Her Free — When she anchors in Scripture, she can confidently declare: “I am a child of God; the enemy has no power over me.”  At American Heritage Girls, programs like the Faith Awards and Troop life give girls exactly this kind of grounding. Whether through structured studies, Godly mentorship, or simply time spent unplugged and away from cultural noise, American Heritage Girls equips girls to recognize lies and replace them with the light of Christ. Moms, this episode will help you step into those daily discipleship conversations with confidence.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.  To find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org. 

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I'm excited to continue our theme for October, which I'm calling Money Month. As we dive into the often-taboo topic of finances, I want to address a common reality among Christians: many of us are either silently struggling or secretly striving when it comes to money. Despite our love for God, our tithing, and our prayers for provision, we often find ourselves grappling with the same financial fears and pressures as the world around us. Today, we're exploring five money mindsets every Christian needs to carry. These aren't just fluffy affirmations or prosperity clichés; they are rooted in biblical truth and can transform the way you view your finances. The five pillars we'll discuss are contentment, growth, surrender, generosity, and legacy. These mindsets are essential for building kingdom wealth that not only blesses your family but also has the potential to change the world.   Want more resources?

Every Christian wrestles with temptation, but the Bible outlines a clear plan for victory.By submitting to God, fleeing from sin, and choosing holiness daily, we can live in freedom and strength. In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany explore why we face temptation and how believers can overcome it. They unpack practical steps from Scripture to stay steadfast in faith and restore fellowship with God when we fall short.What We Discussed[00:00] Introduction: Spiritual Victory and TemptationPastor Jeff and Tiffany continue their series on practical theology, turning to the topic of temptation and how believers can live in victory through Christ.[01:18] The Story of José RiveraPastor Jeff shares a humorous story originally told by Ravi Zacharias that illustrates how easily temptation can win when we give in to selfish desires.[04:30] What Is Temptation?Temptation is the invitation to act against God's will. It can come from the sin nature within us, from Satan, or from the world around us.[05:19] Step 1: Decide Not to YieldVictory begins with a firm choice to resist. James 4:7 reminds us to “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”[06:33] Step 2: Submit to God ImmediatelyThe first move in any moment of temptation is to surrender control to God. Submission gives Him command of our hearts and strength to resist.[07:21] Step 3: Resist in God's StrengthWe cannot fight temptation in our own power. We must rely on God's strength and, when possible, remove ourselves from the situation, just as Joseph fled from Potiphar's wife in Genesis 39.[08:16] Step 4: Do the Holy AlternativeInstead of focusing only on what to avoid, believers are called to do the holy alternative, to obey God and walk in His will.[10:16] Step 5: Avoid What Tempts YouPaul's words in 2 Corinthians 6:17 call believers to “come out from among them and be separate.” Avoid people, places, and influences that stir temptation.[13:00] Step 6: Deal with Sin ImmediatelyWhen we fall, we must confess and repent quickly. Sin breaks fellowship with God, but confession restores intimacy and peace.[14:04] What Happens When Fellowship BreaksSin doesn't destroy salvation, but it creates a barrier in our relationship with God. Like conflict in a family, the bond remains, but the closeness is lost until forgiveness is sought.[16:00] Restoring Fellowship through RepentanceRepentance is turning 180 degrees back toward God. 1 John 1:9 assures us that when we confess, He is faithful to forgive and cleanse us. Even after failure, repentance brings victory.[17:37] The Real VictoryNo victory over temptation is permanent in this life, but every defeat can become victory when it leads us back to repentance and renewal in Christ.“Defeat can become victory when repentance leads us back to God.” – Pastor Jeff CranstonWe love your feedback!

Every Christian has a mandate to be a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ and advance the Kingdom of heaven on earth, and reveal Jesus to a lost and dying world. Pastor Banning Liebscher teaches us that it is impossible to fulfill this mandate without the power of the Spirit. The demonstration of God's power through the gifts of the Holy Spirit reveals Jesus. Are you using the gift God has given you?

Ephesians 4:11-121. Pastors are SHEPHERDS, not SAVIORS2. Jesus gives EVERY Christian a ministry assignment for His church3. Why many churches fail to MULTIPLY leaders:     -Current leaders won't let go     -New leaders won't step up4. Consumer Christians view the church as a SERVICE PROVIDER5. Mature Christians view the church as a place to PROVIDE SERVICE6. Multiplying Leaders will lead to a Multiplication of Impact

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Sermon Notes:I. The Harvest and the Hesitant WorkerJesus sees a plentiful harvest (Matthew 9:37–38) — hearts ready to be gathered into God's kingdom.Every Christian is placed in a “harvest field”: family, work, school, neighborhood.Like Moses, many of us feel hesitant or unqualified to join God's mission.Exodus 4 shows how God responds to our hesitation with grace and provision.II. Four Pieces of Good News for Hesitant Workers1. God Calls the Unqualified (Exodus 4:1)Moses feels disqualified: he has a past, he's failed, and he isn't eloquent.God doesn't deny Moses' weaknesses—He calls him anyway.Key truth: God always uses calls unqualified people.Feeling unqualified often means we understand the weight of God's work and our dependence on Him.2. God Gives Signs (Exodus 4:2–9)Moses worries: “They won't believe me.”God gives three signs: the staff, the leprous hand, and water turned to blood.The point: it's not about our power, but God's.God confirms His work through signs, wonders, and spiritual gifts (Hebrews 2:3–4).Today, the Holy Spirit still bears witness through prayer, healing, prophecy, and other supernatural signs.Our role is to step out in faith — results belong to God.3. God Gives His Words (Exodus 4:10–12)Moses says, “I'm not eloquent.”God replies, “Who made your mouth? … I will be with your mouth and teach you what to say.”God is Lord of both abilities and disabilities.Gospel work requires words, not just actions — the gospel is good news that must be spoken.When we go, God provides the words we need.Even weak or awkward speech can carry the power of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:3–5).4. God Sends Us in Community (Exodus 4:13–16)God provides Aaron to go with Moses.God's mission is shared work—He sends His people together.Jesus sent disciples two by two.The Church is one body with many gifts.Everyone has a part in the mission.Discussion Questions:Are all Christians called into "harvest work?"Does sin disqualify us from being gospel workers?Have you experienced God bearing witness to his own message through a sign, wonder, or some supernatural expression of his power? What happened? What was the result?If we're meant to rely on the Holy Spirit for the right words to speak to others, is it still important to study the Bible, prepare a testimony, or equip ourselves for ministry in other ways?What gifts or roles do you believe God has given to you to help the body in gospel work?Questions?Do you have a question about today's sermon?

Ephesians - Pt. 5

This week on the Men's Alliance Podcast, we're diving into one of the most honest conversations men need to hear — singleness.What does it mean to follow Christ while single in a world that glorifies hookups, loneliness, and instant gratification?Rambo and Bunker share raw stories of heartbreak, waiting, online dating disasters, lessons from isolation, and how God forged them into stronger men through their single years.We unpack: • Why God sometimes keeps you single. • How to stop seeing singleness as punishment. • What modern dating gets wrong. • How to prepare now for the wife you're praying for. • Why brotherhood matters more than ever.

In today's installment of Stand Up, Tim and Mary take on a batch of headlines that point to the continuing global delusion of peace and unity. Every Christian should understand by now that what is going on in the Middle East was never about establishing a state, but destroying one. It is so obvious to so many and yet here we are, with the US and many other nations just deluding themselves around the clock. We discuss Tony Blair's role in Gaza, a clear delusion. We talk about the disintegration of Portland and why it will never likely improve, but spread; we look at Communion America, a great delusion for the church; and Trump's deal with Pfizer, delusion that began in 2020 and never really goes away. Why would he make a deal with such a corrupt and wicked corporation? And still another abortion pill goes to market. It just gets more wicked out there, but hallelujah, we have God's Word: blessed is that one who doesn't walk, stand, or sit with the wicked (Psalm 1)  Homeward, saints!

Every Christian parent’s worst fear is watching their child walk away from the faith. But what if the journey of the prodigal is not the end, but the battleground where God can write a powerful redemption story? In this poignant and hope-filled episode, Catherine tackles one of the most heart-wrenching topics for families: How to battle—and hope—for prodigal children. Whether your own child has strayed, or you’re supporting a loved one through this trial, this conversation delivers comfort, clarity, and a lifeline of practical guidance. Catherine is joined by special guest Laine Lawson Craft, a bestselling author, speaker, and spiritual warrior for parents of prodigals. Lane’s book, The Parent’s Battle Plan: Warfare Strategies to Win Back Your Prodigal is grounded in her raw, personal experience raising three prodigal teens—each with their own struggles, battles, and miraculous moments of deliverance. Key Insights & Takeaways: You are NOT alone. Both Catherine and Lane share how parents of prodigals often experience deep guilt and stigma. Lane candidly recalls her initial panic and shock, but repeatedly urges, “You are not alone.” Trade panic for strategy. The enemy seeks to devour, but parents are not helpless. Lane and Catherine outline a “battle plan” rooted in prayer, surrender, and practical spiritual authority. Guilt does not belong to you. As Lane puts it, “Blaming ourselves only serves to beat ourselves up a little more over things that are not under our control. The other party participating with our children is Satan. If we need to lay blame, that is where it should go.” The battle is spiritual—and winnable. An eye-opening segment breaks down how parents must recognize the true enemy and begin waging war in the spirit, not in the flesh. The authority of a parent in prayer is unmatched. Catherine and Lane both describe the transformative power of praying the Word over your children and exercising God-given parental authority. Lane’s vivid “paintbrush” imagery (covering her children with the blood of Jesus in prayer) is a practical tool for all parents. Surrender is partnership, not defeat. The hardest step—actually handing our children over to the Lord—is where God’s power steps in. Lane poignantly shares, “When our children are hurting...we must surrender them to God in an altar-like place.” This episode is packed with resources, hope, and hard-won wisdom, reminding every listener that God sees every tear and is always working—often behind the scenes—for redemption. If you’re weary or burdened on the prodigal journey, you’ll leave with renewed strength, proven battle strategies, and the knowledge that your prayers matter. About the Guest:Lane Lawson Craft is a bestselling author, speaker, and the creator of The Parent’s Battle Plan: Warfare Strategies to Win Back Your Prodigal. As a mother who fought—and won—the battle for her three children, Lane’s voice is trusted, authentic, and brimming with hope for families facing the heartbreak of a prodigal season.
