Take a brief survey for the show to influence future episodes.Note: I have listeners of all faith backgrounds that listen to the podcast. This episode is coming from a christian perspective so if that's something that doesn't fit what you're looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you don't want to miss!Every relationship has its highs and lows, but we often don't know what to do with our "lows," or how we ended up there. In today's conversation, I sit down with therapist and author Dan Allender to discuss his new book, Deep-Rooted Marriage. He shares how deeper intimacy can be a source of healing and joy. More often than not, the hidden forces fueling conflict and disconnection stem from the unresolved stories of our past. But if we're willing to examine them with honesty and courage, we can begin to rewrite a new, more hopeful story for the future.Links Discussed in This Episode |Podcast Episode: Diary of a CEO with Paul BrunsonConnect with Dan:InstagramWebsiteBook: The Deep-Rooted Marriage: Cultivating Intimacy, Healing, and Delight About Dan|Dr. Dan Allender is a pioneer of a unique and innovative approach to trauma and abuse therapy.

Noah has an in-depth conversation with his former seminary professor Dr. David Turner about macro trends in Christian colleges and seminaries, and deep concerns about Noah's alma mater and Dr. Turner's employer of 32 years, Cornerstone University & Grand Rapids Theological Seminary. The conversation will address abusive leadership, dishonesty and manipulation, and merging Christianity with politics, all while boldly claiming to be Christ-centered. This conversation comes from a deep love both Noah and David have for Cornerstone University, and a responsibility they feel to speak up for Kingdom values.    We hope this creates a space for CU/GRTS alumni to process and grieve, and for those who aren't connected with the school to think critically about trends within American Christianity and how that compares to the Jesus of the Bible.    You don't have to agree with everything we say in this conversation. Noah and David don't agree on everything. But we hope this helps you think deeply and pray more effectively.    https://www.instagram.com/voiceofcu  https://voiceofcu.wordpress.com/  https://www.instagram.com/cornerstonejournalism/  https://drdavidlturner.com/category/theological-education/    Dr. David Turner began teaching at Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary in 1986, later named Grand Rapids Theological Seminary, where he retired in 2018.

Currently he serves as a Scholar in Residence for New Testament Studies at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary.

It's Monday, April 8th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus State Dept. spoke up for Vietnamese religious liberty advocates The U.S. State Department released a statement on April 1st expressing deep concerns for the ongoing harassment, persecution, and convictions of Vietnamese religious freedom advocates. In the release, the State Department addressed the case of Protestant missionary Y Krec Bya, “who has been a peaceful voice for freedom of religion or belief in Vietnam.” Bya received a 13-year sentence for allegedly “sabotaging national unity” in Vietnam. The State Department said, “We reiterate our call on Vietnam to release all those unjustly detained.” According to the Open Doors World Watch List, Vietnam is the 35th most difficult country in which to be a Christian. Trump: Israel needs to get the war over with Last Thursday, former President Donald Trump was a guest on Hugh Hewitt's nationally syndicated radio show. HEWITT: “You're still standing 100% with Israel. You achieved the Abraham Accords which was the first peace deal since [Egyptian President Anwar] Sadat.” TRUMP: “Right.” HEWITT: “So, are you still 100% with Israel? And what's your advice to [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu beyond ‘get it over with in a hurry'?” TRUMP: “Well, that's all the advice you can give. I mean, that's the advice. You got to get it over with and you have to get back to normalcy. Israel is absolutely losing the PR war. They're losing it big. They've got to finish what they started and they got to finish it fast and we have to get on with life.” Biden to Netanyahu: Time for a ceasefire In a related story, President Joe Biden urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toward a cease-fire deal last Thursday, reports The Hill. In response, Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asked  John Kirby, the White House National Security Communications Advisor, this question. DOOCY: “On October 7th, President Biden said, ‘My administration's support for Israel's security is rock solid and unwavering.' That is not true anymore, correct?” KIRBY: “It is true, still true today.” DOOCY: “How is his support ‘unwavering,' but you're also reconsidering policy choices?” KIRBY: “Both can be true.” DOOCY: “They cannot be true. They're, they're completely different things.” KIRBY: “No, no, no. I'm sorry.” DOOCY: “He is wavering.” KIRBY: “No, no, no. Come on. Come on. … On October 7th, there wasn't near famine in Gaza. On October 7th, there wasn't a dimunition of trucks getting into Gaza. On October 7th, we didn't see thousands and thousands of innocent people killed. We're talking about a conflict here which is dang near at six months, here this weekend, six months. And it has changed over time. “What the President's message today was: ‘We need to see some changes in the way Israel is dealing with that threat.' That's what two good friends and allies can discuss. This isn't about changing our support to Israel or the security of the Israeli state.” North Carolina church fired pastor over sexual misconduct Following a unanimous decision from church leadership, a North Carolina congregation fired its pastor after discovering that he engaged in sexual misconduct with adults. Pursuit Church  announced in a letter sent to the congregation on Monday that it removed Pastor Jordan Green from his leadership position, effective immediately, reports The Christian Post. Green issued a statement to Charlotte-based WBTV, saying he is "deeply heartbroken over the pain I've brought to the church and the shame I've brought on the name of Christ." He added, "The Lord brought judgment and discipline down on my life which I am extremely thankful for. When God disciplines us it is always to deliver and never to destroy. I have and will continue to repent before the Lord and seek Him through this season of discipline." Hebrews 12:5-6 says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastens everyone He accepts as His son.” Ray Moore's message to Christian parents And finally, Ray Moore, one of America's most respected advocates of biblical worldview education, has been honored with an award named after him, the Ray Moore Christian Education Hero Award. In a surprise announcement, this award was presented to both he and his wife as the inaugural winners. The award was created by Public School Exit, a leading group advocating for alternatives in K-12 education which recognizes Moore as a founding patriarch of the modern American educational liberty movement. A South Carolina native, he is a graduate of The Citadel with a B.A. in political science. Then, he graduated from Grace Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity in 1974 and with a Master of Theology in 1979. Moore is president of Exodus Mandate which focuses on prayer, revival, and Christian education. The Worldview spoke to Moore over the weekend about his primary concern. MOORE: “It's important for Christian parents to get their kids out of public schools because primarily the Scriptures assign the education of children to the family, with assistance from the church, and not government. “Deuteronomy 6:4-7 says, ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength. And these words I command you today shall be in your heart, and you shall teach them diligently to your children. You shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, when you rise up.'  These texts, along with many others, admonish parents to be the principal educators of their children.” Moore cited a second reason why Christian parents should pull their kids out of government schools. MOORE: “The public schools have some become so hostile to faith.  They are actively and aggressively indoctrinating children in secularism, humanism, even Marxism. And with the growth of the homosexual and transgender movement in public schools, our children are being indoctrinated in that worldview.” Dran Reese, CEO of Public School Exit, praised Moore for his unwavering commitment. She said, “There is no one like Ray. He is a shining light for all of us.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Monday, April 8th in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Roy Yanke, Executive Director of PIR Ministries, was a guest on the Conversations Podcast provided by the Center for Thriving Leaders sponsored by Grace Theological Seminary. They have graciously allowed us to share that interview with our listeners.

In this episode, Lazonnie Belton, a member of the Athena Speakers Bureau who built her career through dedication, commitment and innovation, shares her thoughts on purpose-driven leadership. Belton explains the importance of self-reflection -- including accepting feedback and being humble enough to ask for help.Belton also emphasizes the belief that “Together Everybody Achieves More” (TEAM), shares why failure can be good and even necessary in some situations, and urges people to own their special gifts. You won't want to miss this reflective and candid conversation with Belton! Episode Highlights: 09:05 - I found that we grow mostly in a little bit of struggle, a little bit of resistance, a little bit of not so much smooth sailing. And then we have a time after we go through that, that we can kind of sail through life just a little bit. 17:26 - You need a team. That's one of the acronyms that we use, T-E-A-M: Together Everyone Achieves More. A lot of people use that. Absolutely. It's true. You can get more done. You can make your dreams come true when you have that team. And some people obviously need more team members than others, but you can't do it by yourself. 19:30 - Failure is good. Now, it might take a bit for you to wrap your mind around that, your brain even, your emotions, especially around failure is good. Well, I'm speaking from experience. I'm not speaking from a definition in a dictionary or nobody else's story. I have found that failure is good because it stops you in your tracks. 23:33 - It's impossible to change who you were born to be. It's impossible to change your purpose. Your purpose is God given.

Have you ever had a child ask you, "How do you know the Bible is true?"  Our friend, Mike Lutz, is passionate about teaching the Scriptures and is going to help us answer that question. Ready to soak up some tips and perspective from Mike? Let's go.... Mike earned a BS in Commerce from Rider University and a Master of Ministry from Grace Theological Seminary. He retired in 2015 after a forty-five-year career as a Certified Public Accountant and Certified Financial Planner in financial services and wealth management. Mike committed his life to following the Lord Jesus Christ in 1976. Since then, he has served the local church in a variety of capacities, but his heart has always been in personal evangelism and teaching the Scriptures. His goal has been to emulate Ezra, the priest and scribe of Israel, who set his heart to study the Law (Word) of God, to practice it, and to teach others also (Ezra 7:10). Mike resides with his wife of nearly forty-nine years, Brenda, in Lititz, PA. They are the proud parents of two daughters (Jen Zepp and Erin Martin) and grandparents of two young men (Hunter and Chase Zepp).

Pawns of Change Pawns of Change describes my attempt to probe the progressive movement, which currently is synonymous with the Democratic Party. A pawn is a powerful chess piece when used appropriately. The Progressive movement in America has used the black community as a pawn on the chess board of politics to advance its own agenda and “fundamentally change” America. This is a deliberate and malicious exploitation of the community. E. Ray Moore, Th.M., is an Army Reserve Chaplain (Lt.Col.

Is it time to homeschool our kids or, is it better to reform our existing school system? That is one of the questions I asked my guest - Lt. Col Ray Moore. His response surprised me but it made so much sense once he made his case. We also discussed the evil that is critical race theory and how it became so integrated into our public school systems. Moreover, we discussed the homeschool movement, its growing momentum and resources available for all concerned. ABOUT MY GUEST E. Ray Moore, Th.M., is an Army Reserve Chaplain (Lt.Col.

Today we’re joined by our guest, Dr. Glenn McElhinney. He is president and CEO of Transformed 4 Life, a company helping people to experience wholeness through change in mind, heart, and behavior. He brings over 35 years of experience in counseling and consulting individuals, couples, families and organizations. Dr. McElhinney was an associate professor of psychology for over ten years, holds a Doctor of Ministry in Pastoral Counseling from Westminster Theological Seminary and a Master of Divinity from Grace Theological Seminary.His work with Transformed 4 Life is based on the belief that people don’t have to be stuck where they are. There’s always the opportunity to transform your situation, becoming better and different at what you’re doing. This comes by learning what true wholeness is and using that as the lens to view all aspects of your life.Me, An Entrepreneur?Dr. McElhinney came to entrepreneurship “through the back door.” It began when he was doing his graduate work. His internship required that he complete 900 counseling hours, but the clinic available to the students only had two hours per week available for the program’s interns. As a result, he contacted organizations to find out if they needed someone one hour a week to provide counseling services.Thirty years into his career, after budget cutbacks at his employer, he once again he started making contacts, seeking people and organizations who might need his services. He also worked with a coach, who advised his assessment showed he was an entrepreneur. He hadn’t thought of himself as an entrepreneur but soon realized that his behavior of immediately seeking solutions rather than waiting for the opportunities to come to him was, well, entrepreneurial.Wholeness. What is it and why does it matter for an entrepreneur and their career?Our culture thinks of wholeness as this ideal of perfection. Dr. McElhinney views wholeness as a sense of contentment with who you are and who you’re designed to be, and not trying to pursue being someone else. The moment you start comparing, it becomes an enormous distraction from relying on and going deep with who you are as a person. Wholeness does not mean there will never be sadness, betrayal, or injustice, but it does mean we have the opportunity to transform the more we dig deeply into who we actually are.Focusing our full energy on developing who we are frees us from the distraction of trying to be something we’re not. When a person knows what their core theme, their core value, is, then the environment is irrelevant. Wholeness gives us a clarity into our competency.The reason a lot of people get stuck or feel like they’re spinning their wheels in work and life is because they spend a lot of time working on who they’re not and trying to improve that, which is never going to accomplish anything. If you think you need to be, or that you are, a complete package in your work, you’re hurting yourself because you’re not open to the notion that there are other people who could help you excel to accomplish your goals.Embrace the Lies You Believe about YourselfWhat?Dr. McElhinney’s work has shown that internally, people know who they are, but they end up believing the lies about them. One of the exercises he does is to have people list the lies they believe about themselves. The reason a person believes these lies is because there’s often some element of truth in it. They then need to identify the kernel of truth and not let it define them in life.For Solo PR Pros, this can mean that we use these areas of weakness and design our businesses around it, by not offering a certain service or by building our team to fit those needs.From Assessment to WholenessDr. McElhinney uses the Pro-D Assessment. It takes into consideration:Your Mission (passion),Your Competencies (aptitudes, abilities, strengths)Your Styles (behaviors and characteristics that make you unique) The Pro-D Assessment converges the three to give you a uniquely complete profile, including: Career value areasWhat work culture you’re best inEducational areas to help you continue to growCaution areasWho you are when you’re a team leader and when you’re a team member.Core Theme of your passionWhen you can look at this profile every day it and know it’ll never change, there’s great freedom to move forward, embracing what you’re not good at and to let that go. The assessment prevents the second-guessing. Doubt is the greatest destruction of any entrepreneur. This removes the wasted time and energy of asking “What if?”As Dr. McElhinney says, “Solopreneurs are transforming the culture with what they’re doing. It’s exciting to come alongside people who are really interested in success.”Visit www.transformed4life.solutions to learn more.Solo PR Pro premium members, log in to the member site for additional free resources.Would you like to learn more about Solo PR Pro and the benefits of membership?

In this episode, pastor and author Dr. Gary Phillips discusses a topic he has titled “Basic Training for the Family: Biblical Principles for Navigating Cultural Minefields.”   Gary is senior pastor of Signal Mountain Bible Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he and his wife, Betsy, have served since 1985. Gary earned degrees from Vanderbilt University, Dallas Theological Seminary, and Grace Theological Seminary. He’s also the guest speaker at White Sulphur Springs Conference Center during Week 5 of Summer R & R, which runs from July 5-12. If you haven’t made plans for that week, or for the rest of the summer, be sure to check out the White Sulphur Springs website for details about how you can get signed up for Week 5 when Gary is speaking, or get more information on all of our summer sessions.   What we talked about Gary talks about how he has seen the military family change during the roughly 36 years he’s been involved at OCF and as a speaker at WSS. What’s different? What’s still the same? The topic of basic training for the family has been divided into two parts: first, goals for marriage, and second, goals for parenting.   Goals for Marriage What should be some goals for marriage?  “The very best gift that might wife ever gave to me was to begin a journey into a very deep devotional life on her own—not dependent upon me. And that produced amazing fruit for our marriage.” What type of “basic training” is needed to help us reach those goals, or at least put us in a good position to reach them? What cultural landmines do families face when it comes to reaching these goals for marriage? How can a couple navigate the minefield, and either avoid those landmines or recover from a direct hit?   Goals for Parenting What are some goals to have as parents? What’s the “basic training” needed for parenting? What are some landmines that families face when it comes to parenting and reaching those goals as parents? How do families navigate the minefield together?   Recommended Resources “The Meaning of Marriage,” by Tim Keller  “The Marriage Builder,” Larry Crabb “The 5 Love Languages,” by Gary Chapman "In His Image," by Jen Wilkin “Thriving, Not Just Surviving,” by OCF (Or contact the Home Office for info about how you can purchase a copy: 800-424-1984)   Gary offers one final takeaway for listeners. Gary shares more about himself, his involvement with OCF, and how God put it on his heart to minister to our military men, women, and families. _  Remember, if you have an idea for a guest, topic, or story you’d like us to consider on a future episode, send an email to me at podcast@ocfusa.org. Thanks for taking time out of your day to spend it with us, and we hope you’ll join us for the next episode of OCF Crosspoint.

Part 6 – SERIES: Summer Psalms 2018 Dr. Rock LaGioia of Grace Theological Seminary is our guest this week. Jesus is coming to judge the earth, and this truth should influence how we live our lives. We should praise the Lord with joyful singing. He has revealed his wonderful salvation. The Lord is reigning as sovereign king. And he will return as the righteous judge.

Part 1 – SERIES: Summer Psalms 2018 Dr. Tiberius Rata of Grace Theological Seminary is our guest this week. Tiberius gives an overview of the function of the Psalms, different types of Psalms, and their value to us as followers of Jesus. Psalm 1 is a Psalm of Wisdom and serves as an introduction to all of the Psalms. Two ways of living and their two resulting destinies are contrasted in Psalm 1, and we're encouraged to choose the way of the righteous. The righteous separates themselves from wicked influences, saturates themselves with the Word of God, and thus prospers and is fruitful. In contrast, the wicked is ultimately useless and eternally judged. Choose the way of the righteous! True happiness begins with righteousness.
