Wright sits down with author Bitsy Kemper to discuss her book, Mommy and Me Micro-Moments: Nurturing Faith and Sharing Laughs. Bitsy explains how her desire to help mothers recognize the importance of small moments with their children led her to create an interactive devotional designed around connection, laughter, prayer, Scripture, and faith. Bitsy emphasizes that mothers do not need to add another complicated responsibility to an already busy day. Instead, ordinary activities—tying a child's shoes, putting on a coat, opening a door, or simply making eye contact—can become meaningful opportunities to communicate love and strengthen the parent-child relationship. T.S. and Bitsy also explore the biblical significance of discipleship beginning in the home. Parents have an opportunity to establish a spiritual foundation while their children are young, preparing them to understand prayer, Scripture, faith, and what it means to follow Jesus.Bitsy's devotional is intentionally accessible even for parents who may not feel confident praying or teaching Scripture. Each entry provides a Bible verse, interactive conversation, shared prayer, and encouragement for the mother—requiring virtually no preparation beyond showing up and spending a few intentional minutes together. In This EpisodeWhy motherhood can be understood as ministryTurning ordinary moments into opportunities for meaningful connectionWhy eye contact and focused attention matter to childrenIntroducing children to faith and discipleship while they are youngHow parents can model being disciples while raising future disciplesHelping mothers who may not have grown up with strong biblical foundationsUsing Scripture, prayer, humor, and interaction to make faith approachableWhy discipleship does not begin only at churchThe importance of being spiritually intentional without making family life complicatedWhy every moment countsFeatured ResourceMommy and Me Micro-Moments: Nurturing Faith and Sharing Laughs — Bitsy KemperA practical, interactive devotional helping mothers and children connect through Scripture, prayer, conversation, laughter, and intentional moments together.

What began as a personal testimony eventually helped prepare her for television production and, ultimately, producing a movie. At the heart of Julie's testimony is a simple principle: say yes to God.Julie discusses what it means to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit when you cannot see where the journey will take you. She describes how God used seemingly disconnected seasons of her life—writing, healing, television, and filmmaking—“line upon line, precept upon precept” to prepare her for what came next. TS and Julie also explore the importance of waiting on God, recognizing His voice, obeying even when His direction seems unusual, and understanding that the ultimate purpose of the believer's life is to glorify God.In this episode, discover:Why saying yes to God can lead to an extraordinary life of faith.How painful seasons can become part of God's healing process.Why waiting is often an essential part of obedience.How Julie's personal testimony became On Earth as It Is in Heaven.Why aspiring Christian authors should begin writing when they sense God calling them.How small beginnings can prepare believers for much larger assignments.Why increasing obedience strengthens faith and prepares us for greater responsibility.How our individual stories can ultimately point people back to Jesus Christ.Julie closes with a powerful encouragement: do not despise small beginnings. What God is doing today may be preparation for an assignment you cannot yet see. Be faithful, remain obedient, and allow Him to receive the glory through your story.

He explains how studying the Word of God confronted areas of compromise and ultimately led him toward repentance, transformation, and a new calling to teach on biblical sexuality. Throughout the conversation, TS and Mark address the growing cultural conflict surrounding sexuality, identity, truth, and the authority of Scripture. Mark challenges ideas such as defining truth individually and argues that Christians must evaluate cultural messages through the standard of God's Word.Mark also discusses the biblical framework presented in Sacred Sexuality, including his study of 185 Scriptures related to sexuality. The conversation examines God's design for sexual purity, holiness, marriage, singleness, celibacy, and the broader Christian call to live a life surrendered to Christ. The discussion then turns toward one of the most difficult questions facing many Christian families today: How do believers minister to someone they love who is living contrary to their understanding of biblical sexuality?Mark emphasizes several principles:Christians should first examine their own lives and walk in alignment with Scripture.Believers are called to share truth, but transforming another person is the work of the Holy Spirit.Prayer should be central to ministry and evangelism.Biblical truth should be communicated with both conviction and grace.No person is beyond the reach of God's mercy, forgiveness, and transforming power.TS and Mark also broaden the discussion beyond homosexuality or transgender issues, emphasizing that biblical sexual ethics address pornography, masturbation, prostitution, adultery, sexual activity outside marriage, and other forms of sexual sin. Their central message is that every believer is called to repentance, holiness, and surrender regardless of the particular area of temptation or struggle. The episode concludes with a message of hope: no one is too far gone for Jesus Christ. God's mercy remains available to those who turn to Him, and Christians are called to stand firmly upon biblical truth while extending grace to a culture searching for identity, meaning, and freedom.Featured Guest: Mark Richard Featured Book: Sacred Sexuality: Grace and Truth Revealed in a Culture of Confusion Recorded at: CPE, St. Charles, Missouri Host: TS Wright Podcast: Kingdom Cross Roads PodcastCall to ActionSubscribe to Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, share this episode, and join us as we equip believers to stand on biblical truth, extend Christ-centered grace, and carry the Gospel into a culture desperately searching for answers.Keywords / TagsMark Richard, Sacred Sexuality, biblical sexuality, Christian sexuality, sexual purity, biblical truth, Christian worldview, homosexuality and Christianity, LGBTQ Christianity, transgender Christianity, gender identity, same sex attraction, Christian testimony, freedom in Christ, repentance, grace and truth, holiness, sexual sin, pornography Christianity, biblical marriage, Christian marriage, singleness and celibacy, evangelism, Holy Spirit, prayer, Jesus Christ, Christian discipleship, biblical identity, culture of confusion, Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, TS Wright, CPE 2026, Christian podcast, faith podcast, Christian authors

After years of struggling with shame and asking why she could not stop, she entered a science-based program focused on neuroscience and changing thought patterns.What she discovered surprised her: many of the principles being taught reflected biblical truth—but without acknowledging the King behind the Kingdom.That realization helped lead Rose Ann to combine Scripture, prayer, meditation on God's Word, gratitude, intentional practice, and principles of neuroscience into a Christian approach to personal transformation. Her journey ultimately led to the devotional Transformed by His Promises, developed in collaboration with Dr. Karl Benzio. In this conversation, Rose Ann and TS discuss how these principles can apply not only to alcohol dependence, but to many kinds of life-interfering thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and habits—including unhealthy relationships with technology and other patterns that interfere with a believer's relationship with God. In This EpisodeRose Ann's journey from church leadership and alcohol dependence to freedomOvercoming shame associated with addiction and destructive habitsWhy changing behavior requires changing thought patternsThe connection between neuroscience and biblical principlesRenewing the mind through Scripture and intentional practiceUnderstanding cognitive dissonance and competing thought patternsWhy repetition helps create new habitsThe importance of Scripture memorizationHow journaling reinforces biblical truthThe spiritual and psychological power of gratitudeReplacing unhealthy habits rather than simply trying to eliminate themHow everyday habits—such as reaching for a cell phone—can interfere with time with GodWhy transformation requires practice, persistence, and dependence upon GodThe biblical principle that practicing something can eventually produce patterns of slavery—or patterns of freedomWhy age does not disqualify anyone from being transformed or used by GodRose Ann's reminder that it is never too late for God to transform your lifeRose Ann emphasizes that transformation is not limited to overcoming dramatic addictions. Anything repeatedly interfering with your relationship with God, your thinking, your emotional health, or your ability to walk in your calling deserves attention.One of the central messages of this episode is simple:God is not finished with you.Whether you are 40, 60, 80, or beyond, your past does not determine the limits of what God can still accomplish through your life. Rose Ann points to her own later-in-life transformation and TS highlights Moses, who was 80 years old when God called him into the defining assignment of his life.If something in your life is not working, continue pursuing God.Pursuing God is always the answer.

S. Wright welcomes Golden Scroll Awards finalist Judi Galloway for a practical conversation about developing a deeper relationship with God through Scripture.Judi shares how she came to Christ as a child, grew up in a Christian home, and eventually began asking an important question: How do people learn to see so much in the Bible? That question helped launch her own journey into deeper Bible study.After years of participating in guided Bible studies, Judi felt prompted to begin studying Scripture on her own. She began using a journaling approach based on the SOAP method — Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer — and discovered that writing while studying helped deepen her comprehension, retention, and communion with God.That experience eventually became the foundation for her seven-week, 35-lesson Bible study workbook, Examining God's Word: Breathe New Into Your Love for the Bible. The study combines Scripture passages, prompts, practical study skills, journaling, testimonies, and faith-building lessons designed to help readers immediately put what they are learning into practice.In this episode, you'll discover:Why believers should learn to examine Scripture for themselves.How journaling can improve Bible-study comprehension and retention.How the SOAP method can provide a starting framework for studying Scripture.Why Judi designed her study to work for both new Bible readers and experienced students.The importance of following the example of the Bereans by examining Scripture to determine whether what we are being taught is true.How Examining God's Word uses faith as a recurring theme throughout its lessons.Why Bible study should ultimately lead to personal application and a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.How believers can develop their own rhythm of studying and communing with God through His Word.Judi also explains why the physical workbook format is important to her method: readers are encouraged to work directly with the lessons while keeping a separate journal where they record what God is teaching them. Her goal is not merely to provide information about Bible study but to teach people how to study Scripture themselves.Whether you are opening the Bible seriously for the first time or have studied Scripture for decades, this conversation offers encouragement to keep digging deeper into God's Word.Featured Guest: Judi GallowayFeatured Book: Examining God's Word: Breathe New Into Your Love for the BibleHost: T.

The novel follows wilderness survival expert Therese Palmer and Texas Ranger Blaine as they search for a kidnapped Russian girl and uncover far more than they expected. DiAnn explains how extensive firsthand research—including visiting the remote Dog Canyon area and studying wilderness survival—helps her create believable settings and characters.For DiAnn, storytelling is more than entertainment. She views writing as a form of ministry and intentionally brings a Christian worldview into her stories, showing characters confronting danger, uncertainty, and difficult choices while recognizing the sovereignty of God.DiAnn also shares the story behind her writing career. After years of wanting to become a writer, her husband challenged her in 1996 to pursue writing full time and get something published within a year. She accepted the challenge, sold her first book, and never returned to her previous career. At the time of this interview, she says she is working on book 105.She discusses the discipline required to become a professional writer: researching characters, studying successful books, learning the craft, setting daily word-count goals, staying aware of changes in publishing, praying, and continuing to grow.DiAnn closes with a powerful challenge:Whatever your age or stage of life, do not ignore the dream that refuses to let you go.

S. Wright welcomes back Rev. Stu Woods for a message from Colossians 4:2–18 about living as faithful witnesses for Jesus Christ.Rev. Stu begins with Paul's instruction to “devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” Prayer is not meant to be an occasional religious exercise. It is regular communication with our Heavenly Father—bringing Him our concerns, hopes, needs, struggles, and thanksgiving.The message then turns to Paul's remarkable perspective while imprisoned. Instead of focusing primarily on his difficult circumstances, Paul asked believers to pray that God would open a door for the Gospel and enable him to proclaim Christ clearly.That same calling remains before believers today.Rev. Stu challenges Christians to examine how they speak and behave toward those outside the faith. Our words and actions can either help someone move toward Christ or become an unnecessary obstacle.Drawing from Colossians 4:5–6, he emphasizes:Be devoted to prayer.Remain watchful and thankful.Pray for God to open doors for the Gospel.Make the most of every opportunity.Treat those outside the faith with wisdom, kindness, and respect.Let your conversations be full of grace and “seasoned with salt.”Listen before answering.Grow in your knowledge of Scripture.Share your personal testimony and connect it to God's Word.Remember that believers plant and water seeds, but God gives the growth.One memorable challenge from the episode is the idea that there are “five Gospels”—Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and you—because for many unbelievers, the life of a Christian may be the first testimony about Jesus they closely examine.Rev. Stu calls this approach “gospel kindness”: speaking truth without abandoning grace, treating people with dignity, and allowing the character of Christ to be visible through our lives.The episode concludes with the reminder that Christians are called to faithfully sow and water the seed of God's Word while trusting the Holy Spirit with the results.

Kathy shares the deeply personal story behind the book, beginning with her mother's battle with Alzheimer's. Even when her mother could no longer recognize family members, she continued to remember and sing the words of beloved Christian hymns. That experience became part of the inspiration for Kathy's message about the “song” God places within the life of a believer. The conversation explores several important Psalms, including Psalm 1, Psalm 23, and especially Psalm 71, which became the foundation of Kathy's Bible study. Psalm 71's picture of looking back over a lifetime of God's faithfulness—and then proclaiming His goodness to the next generation—became especially meaningful to Kathy as she entered a new season of life and ministry. Kathy also encourages believers not to be afraid of sharing their testimony. Our witness does not always come through dramatic moments; often, we demonstrate God's faithfulness through ordinary conversations, family relationships, teaching, serving, and faithfully walking with Christ each day.

Rather than discovering a life without hardship, Linda learned that believers can walk through profound difficulty with the love, presence, and guidance of God. Linda and TS discuss her book:Praying the Word: 90 Scripture-Powered Prayers to Calm an Anxious HeartLinda explains the principle behind the book: rather than approaching prayer only from the standpoint of our circumstances, believers can bring God's own Word back to Him in prayer.The book includes 90 topics and Scripture-based prayers designed to help readers engage biblical truth, pray according to God's Word, listen for His direction, and journal what they believe God is speaking to their hearts. Linda describes it as an approach that combines Scripture, prayer, listening, and personal reflection.

The organization encourages Christian writers and speakers not merely to develop professionally, but to go deeper in their relationship with God and the Holy Spirit. At CPE Summer 2026, AWSA participants gathered for retreats, teaching, fellowship, workshops, and the Golden Scroll Awards. One of the central themes of the conversation is the extraordinary reach of the written and spoken word. As Linda explains, Christian authors and speakers may never know who will encounter a particular page, broadcast, testimony, or message—but that encounter may encourage someone, strengthen someone's faith, or even become a turning point in that person's life.

Discover how AWSA equips Christian women authors through training, mentoring, prayer, marketing, publishing support, and the Golden Scroll Awards—all with the goal of sharing the Gospel and expanding Kingdom impact through Christian books.Show NotesKingdom Cross Roads Podcast comes to you from the Christian Product Expo (CPE) in St. Charles, Missouri, where host TS Wright sits down with Rebecca White of AWSA—the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association.Rebecca introduces listeners to the mission and ministry behind AWSA and explains why the organization holds its annual gathering alongside CPE. Christian retailers come to CPE looking for new books, gifts, jewelry, cards, artwork, and other Christian products, while authors have an opportunity to build relationships that can help place their books into independent Christian retail stores.Rebecca explains that AWSA is much more than a professional writers' organization. Its members consider themselves “AWSA sisters,” building a culture of cooperation rather than competition. Authors encourage one another, promote one another's work, and recognize that the ultimate objective is larger than individual book sales: getting the message of Jesus Christ into the world.In This EpisodeWhy AWSA partners its annual event with the Christian Product ExpoHow Christian authors and independent Christian retailers can support one anotherAWSA's training and mentoring opportunities for published authorsWhy book launches, marketing, and AI have become important parts of author trainingThe role of prayer, worship, and spiritual encouragement at the AWSA conferenceHow Christian writers can reach audiences through fiction, nonfiction, Bible studies, devotionals, children's books, gift books, and moreThe purpose of the Golden Scroll AwardsHow the Christian Market Book Awards provide opportunities beyond AWSA membershipWhy Christian authors need community rather than competitionEncouragement for aspiring writers who believe God has placed a message on their heartsAWSA's Protégé program for those who want help beginning their writing journeyWhy reaching children through Christian literature is especially importantHow every Christian writer can reach a different part of the harvestRebecca also describes the strong spiritual foundation of AWSA's conference—from prayer-warrior sessions and small-group prayer to worship and encouragement. As she emphasizes, Christian writers aren't simply producing products; they are carrying messages capable of reaching people with Christ.One of the central themes of the conversation is simple: no single author can reach everyone. Different writers, genres, testimonies, and ministries can reach different audiences. The more Christian writers are equipped and encouraged to fulfill their calling, the farther the Gospel can travel.Rebecca encourages established Christian authors who haven't yet “found their tribe” to explore AWSA, while aspiring authors can investigate opportunities to be trained and mentored as they develop the message God has placed within them.Recorded at Christian Product Expo 2026 in St. Charles, Missouri.KeywordsRebecca White, AWSA, Advanced Writers and Speakers Association, Christian Product Expo, CPE 2026, Christian authors, Christian writers, Christian publishing, Christian books, Christian women writers, Golden Scroll Awards, Christian Market Book Awards, Christian publishing industry, Christian retailers, independent Christian bookstores, Christian book marketing, author marketing, book launch, Christian speakers, Christian writing conference, Christian author conference, Christian ministry, Gospel, Kingdom of God, faith-based publishing, Christian children's books, Christian fiction, Christian nonfiction, Bible study books, devotional books, author mentorship, writing ministry, Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, TS WrightCall to ActionHas God placed a message on your heart?

Beatty shares how his journey from the business world into healing ministry challenged his previous understanding of the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit.Drawing from passages including Deuteronomy 28, Psalm 32, John 5, 1 Corinthians 11, and James 5, Beatty presents his biblical perspective on how unresolved sin may affect a person spiritually, emotionally, and physically. He also explains the prayer process he developed to help people identify underlying spiritual issues, confess and renounce sin, and seek freedom through Jesus Christ.Beatty shares testimonies from his ministry, including his work with women in addiction recovery, and discusses the important progression from repentance to confession, forgiveness, healing, and abundant life.In this conversation, you will discover:How Beatty's understanding of divine healing developedThe difference between a gift of healing and exercising biblical authorityScriptural passages connecting sin, confession, and healingWhat repentance means and why it involves a change of thinkingHow fear may manifest through anxiety and other forms of spiritual distressWhy confession and repentance remain important for believersA practical, Scripture-centered approach to seeking spiritual freedomHow freedom in Christ can lead to a more abundant lifeBeatty's central encouragement is simple: do not allow unconfessed sin to remain unaddressed.

Drawing from more than 40 years of marriage, Lori explains how gracious communication can preserve trust, add warmth, purify conflict, and promote healing between husbands and wives.Lori and host TS Wright discuss the power of the tongue, the importance of listening before responding, and why speaking truth in love does not require avoiding difficult conversations. They also examine how criticism, sarcasm, public embarrassment, unresolved resentment, and careless words can create wounds that last for years.In this episode, you will learn:• Why your words carry the power to build, heal, wound, or destroy• What it means to season your speech with salt• How gracious words preserve trust, intimacy, and unity• How to address conflict without attacking your spouse• Why listening is essential to healthy communication• How prayer can change the atmosphere of a marriage• Why forgiveness does not allow hurt to have the final word• Four questions to ask before speaking• A practical seven-day challenge for strengthening your marriageLori challenges every listener to spend seven days intentionally speaking a blessing, offering a sincere compliment, expressing gratitude, praying for their spouse, and avoiding one unnecessary criticism each day.Healthy marriages are not built through one dramatic conversation. They are strengthened through thousands of grace-filled conversations shaped by the Holy Spirit.Scriptures discussed include Colossians 4:6, Proverbs 18:21, Ephesians 4:15 and 4:29, James 1:19 and chapter 3, and Proverbs 15:1.Connect with Lori Yarbrough and discover her book, United in Purpose, at LoriYarbrough.com.KeywordsLori Yarbrough, TS Wright, Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, Christian marriage, biblical marriage advice, Christian communication, marriage communication, grace-filled speech, seasoned with salt, Colossians 4:6, power of the tongue, conflict resolution in marriage, Christian relationship advice, praying with your spouse, marriage restoration, emotional intimacy, speaking truth in love, forgiveness in marriage, Christ-centered marriage, United in Purpose, Christian podcast, biblical relationships

John shares how his journey with his nonverbal son, who has profound autism, ultimately brought him to faith in Jesus Christ.Raised in a culturally Catholic home, John later explored other spiritual paths but remained disconnected from biblical Christianity. When disability-related challenges affected his marriage, finances, career, and family life, John realized that he needed more than reassuring words—he needed genuine community, practical support, and lasting hope.That search led him to a Christian men's group, where believers welcomed him, listened to his struggles, and prayed for him. On one unforgettable stormy night in 2012, John surrendered his life to Jesus.John also discusses his memoir, Faith Like My Father, and the surprising significance of two words repeatedly spoken by his earthly father: “Don't panic.” Years later, while hearing a message based on Jesus' teaching about worry in the Sermon on the Mount, John finally understood those words. That revelation helped him release years of anger and forgive his father.In this conversation, you will hear about:• Raising a child with profound autism and significant support needs• Finding Christ during the lowest season of John's life• Why Christian community must offer more than comforting words• The Church's responsibility to welcome and support people with disabilities• John's work in disability advocacy and disability ministry• Trusting God when faith does not immediately remove life's problems• Remaining obedient through divorce, single parenthood, and uncertainty• Overcoming anger before it becomes deeply rooted bitterness• Forgiving those who have wounded us• Recognizing God's providence in painful circumstances• The message behind John's memoir, Faith Like My FatherJohn's testimony reminds us that following Jesus does not mean every problem disappears. It means we no longer face our problems alone. God remains present, orders our steps, and can use even our most painful experiences for His redemptive purposes.If you are walking through a valley, caring for someone with a disability, struggling with anger, or wondering where God is in your circumstances, John's story will encourage you to keep seeking Christ and refuse to panic.Connect with John Fela and learn more about Faith Like My Father:https://johnfela.comKeywordsJohn Fela, Faith Like My Father, TS Wright, Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, disability ministry, disability advocacy, autism ministry, profound autism, severe autism, nonverbal autism, special needs parenting, Christian parenting, fathers of children with disabilities, Christian testimony, finding faith in Jesus, faith during trials, trusting God in crisis, Christian forgiveness, overcoming anger, healing from bitterness, God's providence, Christian obedience, spiritual perseverance, Christian community, inclusive church, special needs ministry, Joni and Friends, Key Ministry, Sermon on the Mount, don't panic, hope in Jesus, faith through suffering

Donald recounts growing up in a Carolina cotton-mill family where poverty, limited opportunities, and generational expectations could have determined the course of his life.Although Donald was discouraged from attending college and told that he did not have the money, family background, or ability to succeed, he refused to let other people define his future. Instead, he sought God's direction, pursued his education, and broke a longstanding generational cycle.Donald also reflects on the powerful Christian influence of his parents and grandfathers. Their prayers, worship, and faithful example showed him that following Christ involves more than what we say in church—it must be demonstrated through the way we live.Donald and TS discuss:• Receiving Jesus Christ at an early age• Developing a personal faith instead of relying on a family tradition• Growing up in a Carolina cotton-mill community• Breaking generational cycles of poverty and limitation• Overcoming discouraging words and expectations• The influence of praying parents and grandparents• Why children need to see an authentic Christian example• Discovering and following God's plan for your life• The importance of Christian discipleship• Donald's book, Born of Nothing• The stories behind his original gospel songs• Finding hope in the promise of seeing Christian loved ones againDonald's message is simple but powerful: Do not allow other people to dictate where you will end up. Pray for God's direction, surround yourself with people who strengthen your faith, work diligently at knowing Christ, and allow God—not your circumstances—to define your life.Visit Donald Williams online to learn about Born of Nothing and listen to his original gospel songs, including “Pictures of Jesus,” “I'll See Him Again,” and “My Paw Paws”:https://imdonaldwilliams.comKeywordsDonald Williams, Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, TS Wright, Christian testimony, breaking generational cycles, overcoming poverty, God's plan for your life, Christian discipleship, faith in Jesus Christ, Christian encouragement, Born of Nothing book, Christian author, gospel songwriter, generational faith, spiritual growth, authentic Christianity, overcoming discouragement, Christian family legacy, answered prayer, Kingdom of God

What if it were also a sacred opportunity to glorify God, disciple your family, and welcome others with the love of Christ?In this episode of the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, T.S. Wright welcomes Gina Romero, author of Welcome Home: A Guide to Homemaking from the Heart. Gina shares her powerful testimony of walking away from her faith, suffering a debilitating spinal injury, and ultimately returning to God as a modern-day prodigal.Gina also recounts the difficult pregnancy and premature birth of her daughter, Estella, who arrived three months early and weighed only one pound. Through this season of trauma, prayer, and dependence upon God, Gina began to recognize His greater purpose for her life.Years later, God called her to write a book about homemaking. Gina responded in obedience, completing the manuscript in six weeks. Welcome Home became a number-one Amazon new release and launched a growing ministry dedicated to helping women approach their homes, families, and responsibilities from a biblical perspective.In this conversation, Gina and T.S. discuss:Returning to God after a prodigal seasonTrusting God through pain, trauma, and uncertaintyRecognizing and obeying God's callingHomemaking as a ministry rather than a pursuit of perfectionBiblical hospitality and welcoming others as Jesus didStewarding the home, finances, possessions, and family memoriesCreating practical household and organizational systemsUsing family meals to disciple childrenLearning from the Proverbs 31 and Titus 2 womenUnderstanding the complementary roles of men and womenFollowing God's calling at home, in ministry, and in the marketplaceAllowing ministry and responsible income-producing work to coexistGina reminds us that Christian homemaking is not defined by the labels “traditional” or “progressive.” It begins with seeking the Lord, listening to His voice, and faithfully following the unique assignment He has prepared for each person.As Gina explains, others may teach us how to create beautiful things in our homes, but only God can teach us who we should become while doing them.Your story is for God's glory.

That experience became the foundation for helping Christians confidently live and share their faith.Andrew and TS discuss why evangelism and discipleship must work together. Before believers can effectively fulfill the Great Commission, they must first be formed through an intimate, continuing relationship with Jesus and empowered by the Holy Spirit.In this episode:Moving from performative Christianity to an authentic relationship with JesusWhy evangelism and discipleship are two sides of the same coinUnderstanding “overflow evangelism”Becoming an ambassador and reconciler for ChristHow spiritual formation prepares believers to share the gospelReplacing fear and obligation with invitation and joyCommunicating the gospel without confusing Christian terminologyUsing your personal testimony to glorify God and reach othersMeasuring spiritual growth through the fruit of the SpiritEight heart-check questions for everyday evangelismAndrew reminds us that evangelism is not merely a job, expectation, or obligation.

These two worlds became the foundation for his book, A Charge to Keep: Immutable Leadership Lessons from the C-Suite to the Pulpit.Drawing from lived experience, Rev. Taylor explains why reaching a position of leadership can be easier than remaining faithful and effective once you are there. He also discusses the loneliness leaders experience, the importance of documenting decisions, and the wisdom of casting vision generously while budgeting conservatively.The conversation explores how leaders can guide people through change without becoming discouraged by resistance. Rev. Taylor explains that opposition does not necessarily mean the vision is wrong—people may simply be grieving what was as they prepare to embrace what will be.You'll also hear an encouraging message about wilderness seasons, the cost of the anointing, lifelong learning, and the necessity of reinventing ourselves without compromising our God-given calling.In This EpisodeHow Rev. Kevin Taylor recognized and responded to God's callLessons learned from nearly 30 years in ministryHow corporate leadership strengthened his pastoral ministryWhy leadership can feel lonelyHow to lead people through organizational and ministry changeWhy resistance may be evidence that meaningful change is occurringThe importance of allowing people time to grieve the pastHow wilderness seasons prepare us for greater responsibilityWhy effective leaders must remain lifelong learnersReinventing yourself while remaining faithful to your callingA preview of Rev.

Wright about navigating seasons of transition, uncertainty, and spiritual preparation. Using the disciples' journey between Christ's resurrection and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, they explore what God may be doing when His promises seem delayed.The disciples moved from questions and doubt to proclaiming Christ with extraordinary power and conviction. What happened during the time between those two spiritual milestones? They waited, prayed, obeyed Christ's instructions, and allowed God to prepare them for what was coming.Joshua and T.S. explain why waiting seasons are not wasted seasons. God uses them to deepen our roots, mature our faith, test our motives, and develop the character required to sustain the calling He has placed upon our lives.In this episode, you will discover:Why God frequently prepares His people through seasons of waitingHow the disciples moved from uncertainty to Pentecostal powerWhy immediate gratification works against patience and spiritual maturityHow comparison, pride, and selfish ambition create discontentmentThe difference between doing something “for God” and walking obediently with GodWhy believers must surrender their plans, timing, and personal agendasHow to remain faithful when God appears silentWhy every breakthrough may lead to another season of preparationThe Christian life is not about forcing doors open and then asking God to bless our decisions. It is about daily surrender—trusting God's goodness, obeying His direction, and allowing Him to receive all the glory.Scriptures and biblical themes discussed include Matthew 28, Acts 1–2, Philippians 2, perseverance, contentment, dying to self, the Great Commission, and the Day of Pentecost.Learn more about T.S.

Wright welcomes Tom Anderson, author of From Sinnership to Sonship: The Story of Becoming. Tom shares how God transformed his marriage, deepened his faith, and led him from feelings of inadequacy into the security of biblical sonship.Drawing from the lives of Adam, Abraham, and Peter, Tom explains why spiritual transformation is a journey. Abraham began as a man who believed in God but struggled to believe what God said about him. Through waiting, testing, surrender, and “hoping against hope,” Abraham grew into his God-given identity.You will discover:What Tom means by the “I am not” mentality of sinnershipHow sonship provides worth, significance, and spiritual securityWhy God often sends a word before meeting a needHow God used Isaiah 43:18–19 to bring restoration to Tom's marriageWhat Adam's garden teaches us about purpose, service, and stewardshipWhy your marriage, family, workplace, and relationships are gardens entrusted to your careHow Abraham's journey illustrates believing, hoping, surrendering, and becomingWhy trials may be part of God's process of teaching you to trust HimHow knowing you are loved by the Father changes the way you live and serveYour identity is not based upon your achievements, possessions, position, or past failures.

Building on her previous appearance, Tarsha explains why vision is central to life, purpose, faith, relationships, ministry, business, and personal growth.Tarsha describes vision as a God-given principle of creation, rooted in the fact that mankind was created in the image and likeness of God. She explains that while vision can operate universally, believers must begin with prayer, devotion, the Word of God, and quiet time with the Lord in order to discern the vision God has for their lives.The conversation moves from the “why” of vision into the practical “how.” Tarsha shares how vision boards, journals, planning, and daily action steps can help believers move from revelation to manifestation. She also discusses her book, My Next Step Vision Board, Dream Journal, and Planner, which guides readers through creating vision boards for seven key areas of life and writing down daily next steps to help bring those visions into reality.Listeners will also hear how Tarsha applies vision in her work as a book publisher, graphic designer, author, and coach. She shares how she seeks the Lord for creative direction, then uses practical tools and action steps to bring what she has seen into finished form.This episode is a powerful encouragement for anyone who feels stuck, uncertain, or in need of renewed hope. Tarsha reminds listeners that if God has revealed it, He has not changed His mind. The key is to stay focused, remain obedient, and keep walking with Him one step at a time.Key Topics Covered:God-given vision and purposeWhy prayer is the starting point for visionWriting the vision and making it plainVision boards, dream journals, and planningFaith, obedience, and practical action stepsTurning revelation into manifestationStaying focused on what God has shown youTarsha Campbell's book and coaching workEncouragement for believers who need hope and directionFeatured Resource:My Next Step Vision Board, Dream Journal, and Planner by Tarsha CampbellGuest Website:TarshaCampbellEmpowers.comKeywords:Tarsha Campbell, Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, TS Wright, Christian podcast, Christian vision, God-given vision, vision board, prayer and purpose, write the vision, Habakkuk 2, faith and action, Christian encouragement, Christian coaching, Christian author, dream journal, spiritual growth, purpose-driven life, Kingdom purpose, biblical vision, Christian leadership, discipleship, Jesus Said TV

Wright welcomes back Joshua Spatha for a deep biblical conversation on Moses, Pharaoh, the Exodus, and the wilderness journey of Israel.The discussion begins with Moses at the burning bush, where God confronts Moses' reluctance and calls him into a divine assignment. From there, the conversation moves into Egypt, where Moses stands before Pharaoh in what becomes a direct confrontation between the God of Israel and the false authority of Pharaoh.T.S. and Joshua unpack the meaning of the ten plagues, the hardening of Pharaoh's heart, and why God used this confrontation to reveal His glory, power, and authority. They also address difficult theological questions about suffering, divine justice, God's authority over life and death, and why believers must recognize that God's ways are higher than man's ways.The second half of the episode focuses on Israel's wilderness journey. T.S. and Joshua discuss the Red Sea, manna, spiritual amnesia, Israel's repeated grumbling, and the importance of building memorials of remembrance when God proves Himself faithful. They connect Israel's wilderness testing to the believer's own walk of faith, showing how trials can produce endurance, spiritual maturity, and deeper trust in Christ.This episode is a strong reminder that God never loses, His authority is absolute, and His faithfulness remains even when His people struggle to trust Him.Key Topics CoveredMoses and the burning bushMoses' reluctance and God's callGod versus PharaohThe ten plagues of EgyptThe hardening of Pharaoh's heartGod's authority over life and deathWhy God allows suffering and hardshipIsrael crossing the Red SeaThe wilderness journeyManna, grumbling, and spiritual amnesiaJoshua and Caleb's faithThe danger of forgetting God's faithfulnessMemorials of remembranceTrials, endurance, and spiritual maturityEmbracing the cross instead of pursuing comfortGuest InformationJoshua Spatha is the author of Mere Spirituality and can be found at mperspective.org.

The people wanted visible, earthly control, but God warned them that the king they desired would take their sons, daughters, fields, servants, livestock, and freedom. What looked like security would become bondage.TS Wright connects this passage to the believer's daily walk with Christ. When life feels unstable, chaotic, or uncertain, the faithful response is not to demand our own solution, but to go before the Lord in prayer. Like Samuel, we must listen carefully, seek God's will, and ask whether what we are requesting is truly what God desires.This episode challenges listeners to consider a vital question: Have we embraced Jesus only as Savior, or have we also surrendered to Him as Lord and King?Key Themes1 Samuel 8 as a warning passageIsrael's rejection of God as KingSamuel's first response: prayerThe danger of demanding our own wayUnintended consequences of rejecting God's ruleJesus Christ as Savior, Lord, and KingLearning to ask God what He wants us to pursueSurrender, obedience, and spiritual clarityThe difference between earthly rule and divine kingshipKey Scriptures Referenced1 Samuel 8John 16:33Romans 1:18 and followingPsalm 100Psalm 117Psalm 91Psalm 20Matthew 6:9–13Psalm 46:10Episode TakeawayBe careful what you ask God for when your heart is not surrendered to His will. Israel demanded a king and received one, but the consequences were severe. The call for believers today is to stop resisting the Lord's rule and fully embrace Jesus Christ as King over every part of life.Call to ActionThis week, go before the Lord and ask:“Lord, in what ways am I not making You King of my life?”Then ask Him what He wants you to pursue, who He wants you to pray for, and what He wants you to focus on in this season.Closing EncouragementGo forth in total surrender to the One who owns and reigns over all creation and let the great harvest begin.

The discussion explores how early American colonies often had state-supported denominations, why Baptists and other dissenters pushed for true liberty of conscience, and how Roger Williams helped shape a vision of religious freedom rooted in Scripture rather than secularism.TS and Andrew also discuss the difference between freedom of religion and freedom from religion, the influence of biblical morality on America's founding, and why Christians should understand and engage the public square without advocating for a theocracy.Topics CoveredAndrew Linn's background, faith journey, and documentary work.Roger Williams and the founding of Rhode Island.The true historical meaning of separation of church and state.The Danbury Baptists and Thomas Jefferson's famous letter.Why religious liberty was meant to protect faith, not remove it from public life.The Puritans, the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and early colonial theocracy.Freedom of conscience, soul liberty, and biblical arguments for religious freedom.America as a republic rooted in law, liberty, and Judeo-Christian moral foundations.Why Christians should understand history as America approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.Featured GuestAndrew Linn is a filmmaker and documentary producer whose work includes Fearless Freddy, a documentary about a World War II submariner, and a new documentary exploring Roger Williams, church and state, and the founding of religious liberty in America.

Angela explains that believers often need wisdom in complicated situations, but the challenge is learning to distinguish between human opinion and the wisdom God generously promises to give when we ask.The discussion also highlights the importance of testing the spirits, making sure every word, impression, or piece of advice lines up with Scripture and confesses Jesus Christ as Lord. TS emphasizes that true wisdom will never contradict the Word of God and that prayer must remain central when giving or receiving counsel.Angela shares practical insight on giving wisdom with gentleness, mercy, sincerity, and humility. She also discusses how wisdom applies to relationships, marriage, forgiveness, reconciliation, and difficult conversations among believers. Together, they stress that pursuing peace does not mean avoiding truth, but speaking truth in love under the leadership of the Holy Spirit.The episode also connects wisdom with prayer, faith, and knowledge. Angela reminds listeners that a healthy prayer life helps believers stay in step with God, while TS encourages praying the Word and giving up the need to always be right so that God's wisdom can take its proper place.Angela also briefly shares about her book, Difficult to Conceive: A Godly Perspective for the Road Ahead, written for women walking through infertility. The book includes encouragement on grief, prayer, wisdom, and trusting God's direction through difficult seasons.Key Scriptures Mentioned:James 1:5James 3:171 John 41 Corinthians 11 Peter 3:15Key Takeaways:God promises to give wisdom generously to those who ask.True wisdom must be tested by Scripture and the lordship of Jesus Christ.Godly wisdom is pure, peace-loving, gentle, merciful, impartial, and sincere.Prayer is essential when giving or receiving advice.Believers must learn to give up the need to be right and allow God's wisdom to lead.Guest:Angela MackeyWebsite: AngelaMackey.comCall to Action:Visit AngelaMackey.com to learn more about Angela's ministry and her book, Difficult to Conceive: A Godly Perspective for the Road Ahead.

John shares his testimony, his call to ministry, and the spiritual experiences that led him to write and publish his research.The discussion centers on John's claim that scientific dating, biblical chronology, and historical events reveal repeating patterns of divine control throughout Scripture and world history. He explains how Daniel's 70 weeks, the movement of the Ark of the Covenant, the crossing of the Jordan River, the destruction of Herod's Temple, and Jesus' death and resurrection all point to the reality that God is sovereign over human events.John also shares how he uses this material for evangelism, especially with skeptics, atheists, agnostics, and those searching for evidence that the Bible is true.Topics CoveredJohn Zachary's testimony and call to ministryThe spiritual experiences that led him to write his bookScientific data and biblical prophecyDaniel's 70 weeks and the MessiahThe significance of 14,000-day patterns in biblical chronologyThe Ark of the Covenant, Moses, Joshua, and the crossing of the JordanThe destruction of Solomon's Temple and Herod's TempleEzekiel's Temple visionJesus as the fulfillment of the sacrificial systemWhy the Old Testament sacrifices pointed forward to ChristThe use of biblical research in evangelismIsrael, Jerusalem, and prophetic fulfillmentThe connection between Luke 21, Matthew 24, and end-time prophecyKey TakeawaysJohn Zachary argues that the Bible contains precise chronological markers that reveal God's hand in human history. He highlights a recurring 14,000-day control period that he says appears in multiple biblical and historical events.A central point of the episode is that Jesus' sacrificial death and resurrection fulfilled what the Old Testament sacrificial system only symbolized. John connects this to the destruction of Herod's Temple, explaining that the old system was no longer needed after Christ's finished work.The conversation also emphasizes evangelism. John explains that his research is not meant to create arguments but to present evidence that can awaken people to the truth of Scripture and the reality of eternal life through Jesus Christ.Featured Quote“Human events are under divine control to reveal what is true of the spiritual realm.” — John ZacharyScripture References MentionedDaniel 9Daniel's 70 weeksNumbers 10:11Joshua 4:19Revelation 11Hebrews 10John 14:6Luke 21Matthew 24Mark 13Ezekiel 40:1Guest ResourceLearn more about John Zachary and his book: The Science Behind the Story of JesusWebsite mentioned in the episode: authorjohnzacary.comClosing Call to ActionGet your copy of The Science Behind the Story of Jesus by John Zachary and discover how biblical prophecy, historical events, and scientific dating point to the truth of Jesus Christ.KeywordsJohn Zachary, The Science Behind the Story of Jesus, biblical prophecy, Daniel 70 weeks, Christian apologetics, Bible science, NASA data Bible prophecy, Jesus Christ, biblical chronology, end times prophecy, Kingdom Crossroads, TS Wright, Israel prophecy, Herod's Temple, Ark of the Covenant, biblical history, Christian evangelism

The God Centered Concept is designed to bring real discipleship and spreading the Gospel to help spark the Great Harvest, a revival in this generation.www.godcenteredconcept.comKingdom Cross Roads Podcast is a part of The God Centered Concept.In this episode of TS Wright Speaks, TS Wright teaches on “The Calling of Abraham and Moses” and how these two foundational biblical callings reveal the way God still calls His people today.Abraham was called out of the nations to become the father of a covenant people. Moses was called back into Egypt to deliver that covenant people from bondage. Abraham had to walk by faith into a promise he could not fully see, while Moses had to confront a power he could not overcome in his own strength.This episode highlights an essential truth: God does not call people merely for their own blessing. He calls them to become vessels through whom His purposes enter the earth. Abraham's calling required separation from country, kindred, and his father's house. Moses' calling required surrender before the holiness of God at the burning bush and obedience in the face of fear.TS Wright also explains how both callings point directly to Jesus Christ. Abraham reveals the promise of the Seed, fulfilled in Christ. Moses reveals deliverance through blood and power, foreshadowing Christ as the Passover Lamb and Redeemer.Key ThemesGod calls people into new seasons for His covenant purpose.Abraham's calling shows faith that moves.Moses' calling shows fear that must be overcome by God's presence.Delay does not cancel the calling; delay prepares the servant.Calling is not merely an invitation to significance, but an invitation to surrender.Obedience to God may affect generations, deliverance, and testimonies we cannot yet see.Scriptures ReferencedGenesis 12:1–4 Genesis 15 Genesis 17 Exodus 2 Exodus 3:2, 3:7–10, 3:14 Exodus 4:13 Hebrews 11 Galatians 3:16 Galatians 5 John 5:46 John 8:56Closing EncouragementWhether God is calling you away from what is familiar or sending you back to confront what once intimidated you, the issue is not whether the assignment is easy. The issue is whether God has spoken. If God has spoken, the right response is faith, obedience, patience, and total surrender to His will.KeywordsAbraham and Moses Calling of Abraham Calling of Moses Genesis 12 Exodus 3 Burning bush Biblical calling God's purpose Faith and obedience Christian podcast Bible teaching Covenant promise Moses and Pharaoh Abraham covenant Christian discipleship Trusting God God's presence God's promise Jesus Christ in the Old Testament Biblical faith Spiritual growth Surrender to God God's covenant plan Deliverance from bondage Faith journey Obedience to God Christian encouragement Hebrews 11 Passover Lamb Messianic prophecyTagsAbraham Moses Genesis Exodus Burning Bush Bible Teaching Christian Podcast Faith Obedience Calling Covenant Deliverance Jesus Christ Discipleship Surrender God's Purpose Old Testament Biblical History Christian Living Spiritual Growth

Joshua explains the two major interpretations of the “sons of God” passage: the Sethite view and the supernatural view, where the Bene Elohim are understood as angelic or spiritual beings.

After facing cancer and surviving a massive “widow maker” heart attack, he began reading the Bible seriously for the first time. As someone trained as a lawyer, Matthew approached Scripture through investigation, evidence, and comparison—reading across multiple Bible translations and Christian traditions.The conversation explores Matthew's path from skepticism to faith, including how books like The Case for Christ and Evidence That Demands a Verdict helped him examine whether Christianity is true. Matthew explains why he believes Christians must be grounded not only in the goodness of Christianity, but in the truth of Christianity.TS and Matthew also discuss Matthew's book, Canon Crossfire, which addresses questions surrounding the Old Testament canon, the differences between Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Ethiopian, and other biblical traditions, and why simplistic answers about the canon can create problems when examined historically.A major theme of the episode is the importance of honest investigation. Matthew encourages believers, students, pastors, and scholars to look carefully at the evidence, especially when discussing disputed books such as 2 Maccabees and the broader historical development of the Bible.In This EpisodeTS and Matthew discuss:Matthew's personal testimony and health crisisHow reading the Bible changed his lifeWhy Christianity's truth claims matterThe role of apologetics in strengthening faithThe historical complexity of the biblical canonDifferences among Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Ethiopian, and Syriac canonsAthanasius and the early recognition of the New Testament writingsWhy Christians should avoid shallow answers when defending ScriptureMatthew's book Canon CrossfireWhere listeners can find Matthew's workGuest ResourceLearn more about Matthew Mark McWhorter and his book at:CanonCrossfire.comMatthew also mentions that his book is available in multiple formats, including print, ebook, audiobook, large print, and free copies for seminarians.Mentioned in this episode:TUVU - God Centered Concept Academy

The God Centered Concept is designed to bring real discipleship and spreading the Gospel to help spark the Great Harvest, a revival in this generation.www.godcenteredconcept.comWelcome to TS Wright - Discipleship Training, an introductory lesson from the God-Centered Concept Academy focused on spiritual growth, Christian maturity, and becoming an ambassador for Jesus Christ.In this episode, T.S. Wright opens with 2 Corinthians 5:11–21 and establishes the end goal of discipleship: believers are called to become ambassadors for Christ, allowing God to make His appeal through them. The lesson emphasizes that receiving Christ is the beginning, but growing in Christ requires training, maturity, and a willingness to be shaped by the Holy Spirit.T.S. explains that every believer has a God-designed purpose and calling. While all Christians are called to share their faith, that calling will manifest uniquely according to the places, spaces, gifts, and relationships God has given each person. Some may reach people in ministry, others in the workplace, family, medical field, business, or everyday life.The episode also highlights the biblical truth that anyone in Christ is a new creation. Just as a natural child must grow from milk to maturity, believers must also grow spiritually. T.S. compares discipleship to training, strengthening spiritual muscles, building a firm foundation, and learning how to walk in the Spirit before stepping fully into one's calling.Key Scripture:2 Corinthians 5:20“Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us.”Key ThemesSpiritual growth in ChristBecoming a new creationChristian discipleship and maturityTraining for your callingWalking in the SpiritBecoming an ambassador for Jesus ChristGod making His appeal through believersThe ministry of reconciliationThe Great HarvestCall to ActionMemorize 2 Corinthians 5:20 and keep the end goal in mind: becoming an ambassador for Christ.
