Misty Skolnick, co-owner of Uncle Jerry's Pretzels in Lancaster County is our first guest on the program today!

Uncle Jerry's Pretzels have been free of oil, sugar, preservatives and article dyes since the company's inception. Skolnick discusses how this comes into play today, with new Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent warnings to PepsiCo, General Mills and other large food companies that one of his top priorities will be eliminating artificial dyes from our nation’s food supply to combat growing rates of chronic disease and other health issues among Americans. Retired FBI agent Scott Payne also joins the show to discuss his new book, Code Name: Pale Horse: How I Went Undercover to Expose America's Nazis. Payne, a decorated agent dubbed the “Hillbilly Donnie Brasco,” takes readers along with him on some of the most terrifying and riskiest assignments in FBI history. He went deep undercover with the lethal Outlaw Motorcycle Club in Massachusetts; to the front lines of the opioid epidemic in Tennessee; and infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama. Through it all, he stayed married to the love of his life, raised two girls, and spent his Sundays at church, sustained by family and faith.

It's day 2 of our Pre-Born campaign with Scott Wilder! January is Sanctity of Human Life month, and as in years past, WFIL is working with Pre-Born to offer free ultrasounds for pregnant girls and women who otherwise might choose to end their pregnancy. These ultrasounds have proven to be a powerful, effective, and gentle way of promoting life--first for the baby, but also the mother, father, and beyond. Scott continues to share about the work of Pre-Born, stories of those who have been helped, and how the support extends far beyond the office visit and ultrasound itself, even up to several years later. Our station family goal is 450 ultrasounds. We greatly appreciate your prayers as we work towards this! If you'd like to cover an ultrasound for $28, 5 for $140, or however many you like (or just to donate any amount) it's 1 833-850-BABY (2229) or by clicking the Pre-Born banner at wfil.com (where we post updates on the progress).

Eight glorious truths presented in John 3:16.

As Christmas approaches, we all long for something to rekindle our hope and wonder. This Sunday’s message, “Blessing in Believing,” starts with Mary’s visit to Elizabeth and the beautiful truth: “Blessed is she who has believed.” Together, we’ll explore how belief in something greater than ourselves can bring light to this season and our lives.

As we plan and prepare for Thanksgiving celebrations, we respond with a resounding "yes" to the invitation to thankfulness. This practice reminds us of how blessed we are and brings about maturity in our faith. From the significance of the Gospel to the convenience of technology, there is much we have to be grateful for. Join us as we hear from Pastor Dann Farrelly who shares biblical truths, compelling statistics, and fresh revelation on the impact thankfulness has on our lives.

Send us a textIn looking at various passages of Scripture, especially in the New Testament, there are encounters in which a similar sentiment or expression is raised:  how do I find salvation?  In these encounters, a similar response is given and in-roads are made to the hearer; an unbeliever who is not a follower of Christ but a seeker of truth.  A few of these conversations are looked at today:  we revisit Paul and the jailer in Acts 16.  We look at Nicodemus and his late night visit to discuss matters with Jesus in John 3.  And we contemplate Peter once again and the hearers of his sermon at Pentecost in Acts 2 (an event in which 3000 find salvation).  Do we understand that many are so close and are looking for the answer to "What must I do to be saved?"  If and when we do, we find out that we are the tools God uses to bring about these salvations, through the Holy Spirit.    God Questions - How Can I Be Saved Article:  https://www.gotquestions.org/how-can-I-be-saved.html 

We're privileged to have Bill Schoening, veteran voice of the San Antonio Spurs basketball team spend the majority of the show with us today.

"Philly Billy"--or in the case of Spurs superstar Tim "The Big Fundamental" Duncan, who has always just called Schoening "Philly"--has announced close to 2200 consecutive Spurs games (including preseason and 4 Spurs championship runs). He enters his 24th season with the team next week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Host Heather Creekmore tackles the deep-seated issue of truly feeling and knowing that God loves us. She begins by questioning whether listeners feel God's love beyond just an intellectual understanding of it. Heather suggests that if more people genuinely felt secure in God's love, concerns about body image would diminish significantly. Heather explores the disconnect between head knowledge and heart knowledge regarding God's love. She emphasizes the importance of understanding and internalizing God's steadfast love. Heather explains that chasing idols—whether they be body image, health, or other people—hinders the ability to feel God's unconditional love. Heather advocates for confessing and repenting from idol worship to clear the ‘dust and dirt' that clouds one's perception of God's love. She urges listeners to visualize Jesus with them, embodying a loving and compassionate presence, free from disappointment or anger. She delves deeper into the concept of acceptance and approval from God versus humans. Heather underlines that individuals often seek validation by altering their bodies to gain others' approval, a futile effort since true safety and acceptance come only from God. Heather reminds listeners that God's love is both spoken and demonstrated through Jesus Christ's sacrifice, highlighting the importance of embracing this truth above societal pressures regarding body image.  Learn more about how Compared to Who? can help you find body image freedom and healing by visiting: https://www.improvebodyimage.com Learn more about Heather's 40-Day Body Image Workbook here: https://www.improvebodyimage.com/40-Day-Body-Image-Workbook-Christian Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Actor James Madio climbs in the ring later in the program to talk about his new film "The Featherweight" which presents a gripping chapter in the true-life story of Italian-American boxer Willie Pep (portrayed by Madio). Pep, the winningest fighter of all-time (yet whose story is largely untold), finds himself down and out in his 40s...and with his personal life in shambles, decides to return to the ring--at which point a documentary camera crew enters his life. "The Featherweight" premiered at the 80th Venice International Film Festival and is slated for a streaming release later this year or early 2025.

So, is an untested “perfect” organization stronger than an organization full of redeemed persons? Well, in at least one instance, the Bible answers that question…from God's perspective and design! Can we get our heads wrapped around the reality that “weakness redeemed” can be stronger than an untested design? Join Kevin as we poke around on one of the most powerful, counter-intuitive realities ever—God's strategy of His unshakeable Kingdom! // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

The following episode is a live recorded sermon from the Sunday gathering at The Heights Church Denver on 07/28/24 Are You Born Again?: John 3 | Holy Spirit Corbin Hobbs The Holy Spirit has famously been called “the forgotten God.” Christians give a lot of attention to the Father who pursues and loves his prodigal children. We, of course, love Jesus who came and accomplished our salvation through a cross and resurrection. But when it comes to the Spirit many Christians are at a loss. The Spirit feels like the proverbial “third-wheel” on the trinitarian date. And much of this is because of the lack of good teaching on the person and work of the Holy Spirit. But without the Holy Spirit, we cannot be adopted into the Fathers family or receive the forgiveness for our sins that Jesus accomplished on the cross. In the words of Father Ignatius Hazim, “Without the Holy Spirit, God is distant, Christ is in the past, the Gospel is a dead letter, the Church is simply an organization, authority is always domination, mission is propaganda, worship is the summoning of spirits, and Christian action is the morality of slaves.” We need the Holy Spirit. 07/28/24 - John 16:5-15 - It is Better 08/04 - John 3 - Are You Born Again? 08/11 - John 14:15-17 -Helper/Counselor/Comforter 08/18 - Galatians 5 - Sanctifier 08/25 - 1 Corinthians 12 - Gift-Giver 09/01 - Acts 1-2 - Empowerer for Mission For more information about The Heights Church, or to contact us, visit our website at TheHeightsDenver.com

Should Christians be inclusive of all sinners and lifestyles into their assemblies? Should the Church welcome every sinner and let them continue to live in that sin? What about the verses that say not to even associate with some sinners? How do we know who to accept and who not to into the Body?

Many have taken the account of the Woman Caught In Adultery to show that Jesus does not judge here when He says, "neither do I condemn thee." Others cite his response to "go, and sin no more." However, there is an underlying meaning found in the themes of John's Gospel, especially with the Brazen Serpent. Hint - It's not what you think. Website - www.cwicmedia.com
