Tony is joined by Ali Siadatan, a world-renowned UFO researcher, to recount his 1999 UFO encounter in Iran, which occurred days after he felt led to warn his father about Ezekiel's prophecy of a future war between Iran and Israel. The sighting of a massive green, pulsating craft descending into the desert became a catalyst for his deeper study of Scripture and the Prince of Persia described in Daniel 10, which he believes connects to territorial spiritual powers over nations. The conversation then turns to present-day Iran, where Ali outlines the growing revolution against the Islamic theocracy and the brutal crackdown that followed. He explains how economic collapse, generational rejection of radical Islam, and the rise of the exiled crown prince have shifted the national atmosphere. With tensions escalating between Iran and Israel, Ali suggests the coming months could determine the nation's future.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Prayer is a privilege. God invites us to pray...with boldness. He invites to seek, ask and knock. But sometimes our prayers can be derailed.

And today, we’ll see how to undergird our prayers with faith and with a proper attitude and respect for our God. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

Ozempic is everywhere, and the conversation around it reveals far more than a debate about weight loss. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar step into the cultural moment surrounding GLP-1 medications, clarifying their medical purpose while asking more profound questions about motive, discipline, and identity. The guys acknowledge that these drugs have saved lives, especially for those with type two diabetes, but they focus on the growing trend of using them as shortcuts to self-control and image management. What emerges is a challenge to examine why so many are willing to chemically alter their bodies in pursuit of a certain look, and what that pursuit reveals about the desires shaping the heart.The discussion widens to the obsession with perfection and comfort that shapes modern life. The guys describe how we live in a filtered and photoshopped world where appearance becomes currency and praise becomes addictive. Ozempic, they argue, functions as a cultural artifact that exposes a lack of discipline and an unwillingness to embrace discomfort. This shortcut mindset shows up not only in health but also in faith, work, and ministry, where people want outcomes without formation. Discipline, once seen as virtuous, is now treated as oppressive, yet Scripture calls believers to discipline themselves for godliness rather than convenience.Contentment becomes a central theme as the guys contrast cultural messaging with a biblical worldview. Advertisers thrive by sowing dissatisfaction, but Scripture calls believers to gratitude, stewardship, and eternal perspective. Identity is often tied to the scale or the mirror, yet value is rooted in belonging to Christ. Oscar shares practical wisdom about food as fuel rather than a fixation, modeling balance rather than restriction or obsession. Ray emphasizes enjoying God's gifts without letting them rule us, reminding listeners that health is complex and cannot be reduced to appearance alone.The conversation closes with a call to examine judgment, pride, and purpose. The body is not a trophy to display but a temple to steward, and viewing it rightly frees believers from comparison and condemnation. Psalm 139 affirms God's intentional design, pushing back against cultural pressure to reshape what God has formed. True contentment comes from denying self, following Christ, and living for eternal glory rather than temporary praise. There are no shortcuts to sanctification, only grace, discipline, and a life oriented toward making Christ known rather than making ourselves admired. Send a textThanks for listening!

“Can you explain papal authority?” This question opens a discussion on the complexities of Church leadership, including the reconciliation of Vatican I and the Council of Constance. Other topics include the practice of praying for the dead and the perspectives of Orthodox believers on Roman primacy, highlighting the diverse theological inquiries that arise in Catholic apologetics. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:07 – I am no longer Catholic but I don't really know why it’s taking me long to desire to come back. 20:15 – Even if I were to accept 2 Macc. We could not accept the practice of praying for the dead because it was descriptive, not prescriptive. 23:59 – I'm Orthodox. In the 7th Ecumenical Council it talks about the agreement with the patriarchs. I do see a Roman primacy but it feels like there’s something missing where Rome didn’t do things with the agreement of the other patriarchs. 43:05 – How do you reconcile the contradiction on papal authority in Vatican 1 and Council of Constance? 50:25 – A couple was struck down in Acts of the Apostles after holding back. That feels like it contradicts the message of Jesus and the gospel. Can you explain?
Is The Greatest Shift in Christian Theology Going From Heaven to Earth? Heaven isn't the point of the gospel—and N.T. Wright challenges the "accept Jesus and escape earth" narrative of Christianity. Curtis Chang talks with Wright, leading theologian and prolific author, about New Creation and his latest book God's Homecoming: The Forgotten Promise of Future Renewal, asking whether the Bible's promise is the Kingdom of God on earth—or simply going to heaven when you die. They examine the "royal priesthood" calling, what this means for life after death and suffering now, and the true purpose of Christian faith.

Partnership with God transforms hope from wishful thinking into confident expectation rooted in His character and provision. Discover how being a joint heir with Jesus means receiving everything He died to give you, and how your expectation can become so strong that people are drawn to the peace and joy you carry. What if God's provision is already waiting in your future, prepared by the One who goes before you?Key Scriptures:+ Romans 8:17. "If children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ."+ John 10:10. "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."+ Deuteronomy 31:6.

Doubts and hopes are tied together in this story.(16:36) Abraham bargains with the Lord for Sodom and Gomorrah to be saved because he knows the mercy of God.(23:25) The story of Sodom and Gomorrah also portrays God's justice.(24:34) Lot makes efforts to save his family from destruction in Genesis 19.(29:33) Lot pitching his tent toward Sodom cost him his family.(33:41) The troubling narrative of Lot's two daughters and the cave in Genesis 19.30-38.(38:22) Beauty for ashes in Isaiah 61.3. Through tragic experiences, beauty can come to pass. Your origin story is not who you are.(41:48) Genesis 20 is a triplet of the same story. This chapter introduces the Elohist's narrative, a source text most likely related to Lehi's Brass Plates text.(43:04) The long-promised day finally comes and Isaac is born. We should trust and have faith in promises that take time to be fulfilled. The Song of Sarah.(44:57) Hagar and Ishmael are cast out of Abraham's household and they wander in the wilderness. Their water runs out and God shows her a well of water. God helps us, but also wants us to do all we can.(55:22) Complexities, gaps, and anachronisms in Genesis 21. A covenant, a sacred well, and a tree at Beer-sheba are illustrations of temple imagery, connecting the Patriarchs to figures of the temple and visionary experiences.(58:41) The burial of Sarah in Genesis 23. Different ways to read Abraham's “mourning” and “weeping” for Sarah.(1:03:00) The Lord asks Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac upon Mount Moriah, the foundation stone, Jerusalem's most sacred ground.(1:06:47) We are here to be tested. We will have trials of faith equal to Abraham's.(1:11:05) Isaac is an excellent type of Jesus Christ. Elder Melvin J.

Did you know the Bible has more scriptures about finances than about heaven and hell? Faith in the area of finances is the least use of our faith (Luke 16:10). If we can't trust God with our money, how can we expect to be able to trust Him with greater things? Join Andrew in this series of Charis chapel hours and discover how exercising your faith in the “least” can unlock faith for that which is greater.

Young people today are pushing past their skepticism toward religion to reconsider Jesus in a politically charged, post-truth global culture — something Jase witnesses firsthand after a particularly authentic Gospel presentation. Al meets a young man who “loves Jesus but loathes religion,” prompting the guys to consider the very real concerns people have about the ways human sin has affected churches and organized religion. Zach offers insight into what it truly means to be “born again” in an age obsessed with time, trends, and technology. Plus, Jase teaches young husbands how to execute a “pro move” when it comes to giving gifts to their wives.

There is a solidarity among all of God's creatures because all are oriented to give glory to God. We learn that God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh day, sanctifying it and blessing it. Fr. Mike tells us that all creatures were made with a view to the Sabbath, created for the worship and adoration of God. We are all called to the sacred task of worshiping God and nothing else should take precedence over it. We end with an “In Brief” review of all we have learned in recent sessions about the physical world, the spiritual world, angels, and creation. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 344-354. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

When the Temple Square renovation is complete, four new sculptures by artist Ben Hammond will welcome visitors to the grounds. Hammond began his career apprenticing under a sculptor known for crafting busts for the NFL Hall of Fame. Since then, his meticulous talent has led to creating Hall of Fame busts himself and sculpting a statue of Martha Hughes Cannon for the U.S. Capitol. On this week's episode, Ben shares how his life and career have been shaped—piece by piece—by the Master Sculptor. 2:03- Anatomy 7:43- The Creator 12:32- NFL Hall of Fame Busts 17:37- Uninterrupted Time With a Prophet 24:27- Temple Square Sculptures 34:29- Five Wise Virgins 38:55- Martha Hughes Cannon 45:36- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ? "I don't want to live my life in fear. I don't want to be obsessed with politics and everything that's bad in the world. I want to focus on things of an eternal nature. There's some sadness that happens when you're separated in this life but to know that I've been redeemed by Jesus Christ—nothing can happen in this life that can take that away from me unless I choose for it to happen."

Thirty years ago, Joshua Harris became the cheerleader for purity culture with his book "I Kissed Dating Goodbye." Since then, he's apologized for the book, exited from ministry and his marriage, and announced he's no longer a Christian. He talks to Skye about his journey from fundamentalism to deconstructionism, and back toward curiosity about Jesus. Also this week, how the Trump administration is making paganism great again, why secular progressives are rediscovering the benefits of religion, and how Christians in Springfield, Ohio, have organized to protect Haitian immigrants from deportation. Plus, cannibal jellyfish are taking over Venice, and Phil has seen the wrap light.

It's Witness Wednesday! Join Todd as he goes back to his home-state of Minnesota to conduct real-life, on-the-street interviews and have gospel conversations with a number of people coming from different backgrounds and worldviews. From important theological realities like sin, judgment, and the gospel to the real-world implications of our beliefs, like human rights, abortion, and evangelism, God's truth is brought to bear. Segment 1 • A chemistry grad student claims he lives to glorify God, but Todd's clarifying question reveals confusion. • Todd's parachute analogy exposes a massive divide: are you following Jesus to improve your life—or to escape judgment? • The student affirms grace is essential but struggles to articulate how someone is actually saved. Segment 2 • Julie, a self-identified Catholic, confidently says she's good enough to go to heaven, but an examination by way of the ten commandments says otherwise. • When Todd compares God to a courtroom judge, Julie faces a devastating dilemma: if God is just, how can guilty people escape punishment? • Julie knows Jesus died for sins—but can't explain how to receive forgiveness. Segment 3 • A group of graduate students overwhelmingly choose to save a stranger over their own dog—but struggle to explain why human life has greater value. • Several students admit they “hope” they're good people, while others openly say morality is relative or self-defined, exposing the instability of subjective ethics. • One student invents his own religion, another rejects absolutes, and others admit uncertainty about the afterlife. Segment 4 • A thoughtful student chooses to save school children over 500 strangers—raising uncomfortable implications for abortion, aging, and human worth. • When confronted with death, she can only suggest making peace with “whoever or whatever you believe in”. • Todd challenges listeners directly: if someone had seconds to live, could you clearly explain how to be saved—or would you struggle like most? ___ Thanks for listening!

Today's episode is all about raising boys, even if you're a girl mom like me. I sat down with Rebekah Lovell, author of Boyhood Resurrected, for a powerful and honest conversation about how modern systems are failing our boys, and what we can do about it. We talk about how boys are hardwired for adventure, movement, risk, curiosity, and strength, and how over-scheduling, over-screening, and over-labeling can slowly extinguish the light in their eyes. Rebekah shares her family's journey navigating early schooling challenges, why institutional systems often misunderstand boys, and how moms (especially!) play a crucial role in protecting and cultivating their sons' masculine design. This conversation will step on a few toes — gently. We talk about: The difference between discipline and suppression Why movement and autonomy matter Screen culture and its impact on boys The myth of being "behind" Adventure as a developmental need Respect as a love language for boys Raising driven, courageous men in a culture hostile to masculinity Even as a girl mom, I found so many parallels. Childhood matters. Wonder matters. Agency matters. And truthfully, this conversation ultimately points back to Jesus and how God intentionally wired our sons. If you're raising boys (or love someone who is), this episode will challenge, encourage, and equip you. Sponsor: Nutrafol Real growth doesn't come from quick fixes — it comes from consistent care.

Lorelai and Rory have still not made up. The tension is palpable.While at work later, Lorelai gets a call from Emily telling her about when the Christmas party is. Lorelai is talking about how she'd be late so Emily tells her not to come at all which is shocking to Lorelai. When Rory goes to leave, she tells her that she's sure Emily didn't mean it and asks her to go but Lorelai isn't budging. After Rory leaves, Lorelai hears a knocking coming from the window in Rory's room. It's Dean. Lorelai and Dean talk about what happened at Miss Patty's and she tells him to knock on the door next time.While at the party, Richard keeps complaining that it's hot. He goes to turn the air on but doesn't come back to the table.Lorelai shows up at Luke's, sad that she didn't go to the party because she likes the festive food, so he makes her a Santa burger. But she gets a call - her dad is in the hospital. He collapsed.Luke shuts the diner down to drive her to the hospital. When she gets there, she finds Emily rushing around, trying to get answers. Lorelai is very uncomfortable seeing her dad in the hospital because things are complicated with her parents.It turns out that he's going to be fine which is a relief, obviously. The big question now at the hospital is what's going on between Lorelai and Luke. Luke tells Emily it's nothing and she tells him he's stupid. And Emily & Lorelai squash their beef.With all of that behind us, Lorelai gets back to dating Max Medina. It's going well, they're having fun. But after finding out that Rory is gonna start calling him Max outside of school because she assumes she's going to start seeing him more often because things are going well, Lorelai gets freaked out. She decides it's probably time to break things off because she doesn't want Rory to get attached.Luckily for her, it's parent day at Chilton. A perfect time for her to break up with Max. She tries but instead, she ends up making out with him. Paris sees this happen and tells EVERYONE! Rory finds out and that leads to an argument. Unfortunately for them, it's time for Friday night dinner and Emily's heard about the kiss too. It's not great.When Lorelai and Max finally talk about it, Max tells her that he got called into Headmaster Charleston's office and his job is in jeopardy. He thinks it's best that they take a break which Lorelai agrees to but that doesn't stop her from heading back home to cry in her bed as Rory consoles her.

“Is Receiving Ashes Against Scripture? This question opens a discussion on the intersection of faith and politics, addressing concerns about the implications of such support. Other topics include the challenge of serving both God and money, and the complexities of identity in faith, such as navigating historical claims about the papacy and exploring the differences between Catholicism and Orthodoxy.

Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:12 – Reading not doing public penance, but then we get big ashes on our heads. 09:23 – Jesus said you can't serve God and money. Is it contrary to being a christian for a Church to support a political party or movement? 18:38 – Isn't it condescending to ask the question, why aren't you Catholic? You're asking, why aren't you one of us? Wouldn't it be better to ask who raised you to be the faith you are? 40:56 – 1689 London Baptist confession of faith claims the pope is the Anti-Christ, how do I navigate that as a non-Catholic? 51:52 – I'm looking into Catholicism and Orthodoxy.

Spiritual danger isn’t always obvious. Just like something hidden in plain sight, the greatest threats to our faith are often unseen. Scripture reminds us that we have a real enemy who prowls like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. While we may not physically see spiritual warfare, it is very real. This devotional calls us to awareness—not fear. We are not left defenseless. God has equipped us with spiritual armor and given us His Word, His Spirit, and the advocacy of Jesus Christ. When the enemy whispers lies, Jesus stands as our Advocate, declaring us forgiven and redeemed. When accusations try to overwhelm us, Christ’s finished work silences them. Spiritual attacks can come through suffering, discouragement, temptation, doubt, or isolation. That’s why we are urged to stay alert and sober-minded. But vigilance doesn’t mean panic—it means standing firm in faith. The Lion of Judah has already triumphed over the prowling lion. We walk through life aware of the battle, but confident in the victory. God promises that after we have suffered for a little while, He Himself will restore, strengthen, and make us steadfast. We are protected, not because we are strong, but because He is. Main Takeaways Spiritual warfare is real, even when it is unseen. The enemy seeks to discourage, accuse, and weaken believers. God provides spiritual armor and calls us to stand firm in faith. Jesus is our Advocate, silencing the enemy’s accusations. God promises restoration, strength, and steadfastness after seasons of trial. Today’s Bible Verse “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen” (1 Peter 5:8-11, NIV).

Did you know the Bible has more scriptures about finances than about heaven and hell? Faith in the area of finances is the least use of our faith (Luke 16:10). If we can't trust God with our money, how can we expect to be able to trust Him with greater things? Join Andrew in this series of Charis chapel hours and discover how exercising your faith in the “least” can unlock faith for that which is greater.
In this message from Romans 15, Pastor J.D. challenges us to lift our eyes to the ends of the earth. When Jesus left his disciples, he promised that his gospel would go to every nation, tribe, language, and tongue. That task isn't finished. And God is calling many of us to follow him to the most unreached parts of the planet. Is it difficult? Yes. Is it dangerous? Yes. Is he worthy of it? Absolutely.
