Natasha: And I'm Natasha Cowden, coming to you from Denver, Colorado, and we'd like to welcome you to the MinistryWatch podcast. Warren: On today's program, Liberty University reached a settlement with disgraced former President Jerry Falwell Jr. last year, but the terms of that settlement were only disclosed this week. We'll have details. And, Bob Jones University names a new president just a month after its current leader announced he is stepping back. Many alumni aren't happy with the choice. We'll explain why. Plus, beloved Bible study author Kay Arthur has died at 91. We'll look back at the ministry founder's life. Natasha: But first, Police close its investigation into sexual abuse allegations against Daystar. Warren: The police department investigating accusations that sexual abuse was covered up by Daystar Television Network's founding family, Joni and Marcus Lamb, has announced it is closing the investigation. According to the Colleyville Police Department in North Texas, the allegations were thoroughly investigated over the last year and a half, but no one will be charged in the matter. Dara Nelson, Colleyville Police Department's public information officer, in a statement. “The case is closed with no charges filed. In Texas, there is no statute of limitations for sexual assault of a child. If any new evidence emerges in this case, it will be thoroughly investigated,” she added. Natasha: Warren, can you briefly give us a little more background to this story? Warren: Last fall, Jonathan Lamb, son of Daystar founders Marcus and Joni Lamb, and his wife, Suzy, publicly accused Daystar leaders of covering up abuse involving their daughter from several years prior. The couple accused a Lamb family member, identified as “Pete,” of the abuse. Pete submitted to two lie detector tests, and no evidence was ever produced implicating him in the abuse, according to a statement on Daystar's website. Both “Pete” and Daystar denied any wrongdoing. Natasha: But the family isn't convinced. Warren: In a post on X, Suzy Lamb called the investigation closure “a formality,” adding that victims of abuse often take years to speak up. She also said “Pete” was not exonerated of the alleged abuse. “When our child is ready to speak – she will and the case will be wide open again,” Suzy Lamb wrote. “Till then we rest and trust God to bring justice.”

Jamie MacDonald shares her story of redemption, recovery, healing, and belonging with Sadie in this special conversation. From living in a house where her stepdad told her no music was allowed to now being a singer-songwriter, Jamie says she never doubted that God had a bigger plan for her life, even though she tried doing it her way for a long time. And now, while she says she still doesn't feel "qualified" to share about the Lord, her story and her gift of music and songwriting speak volumes about God's enduring power and love — and about how He uses her weakness to demonstrate it all. Sadie and Jamie talk about their moments of surrendering to God, their experiences being on tour, and Sadie shares why reading her Bible just for herself right now has been such a gift.  https://drinklmnt.com/whoa — Get a free LMNT Sample Pack with any purchase! https://liberty.edu/Sadie — Get your application fee WAIVED when you start your future with Liberty University today! https://drinkag1.com/whoa — Get a FREE bottle of AG D3K2, an AG1 Welcome Kit, AND 5 of the upgraded AG1 travel packs with your first order. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Warning: This episode contains mature themes and is not suitable for young ears.In today's powerful & raw episode, we're joined by Josh Broome, a man whose life journey is nothing short of miraculous. From a childhood marked by fatherlessness and a desperate search for identity, to the dark spiral of the porn industry, to a radical transformation through the grace of Jesus Christ—Josh's story will leave you speechless, inspired, & filled with hope.Josh was born to a teenage mother and grew up without a consistent father figure, always feeling like he needed to prove his worth. After moving to LA to pursue acting, he was pulled into the porn industry after a single video destroyed his mainstream career. Over time, he starred in over 1,000 adult films, made over $1 million, and even won an award for Performer of the Year. Yet despite his “success,” he battled crippling depression, identity loss, and suicidal thoughts.In 2013, at his lowest moment, a simple conversation altered the course of his life. Josh walked away from porn, returned home, became a Christian, and slowly began rebuilding. In 2022, he graduated from Liberty University, and today he is the Executive Director of Walkworthy with the AACC, a husband of 9 years, a father of 4 boys, and a leading voice against pornography and for men's identity in Christ.In this episode, we don't dive deep into the explicit details of the porn industry—we focus on something far more important: what led him there and how grace brought him out. We explore the loss and recovery of identity, the restoration process through Jesus, and the truth about how pornography damages both those in it and those who consume it.

Jacob is the congregational leader of Congregation Rebirth in North Orlando ( Longwood), Florida. He was once living in pursuit of his own desire and  Messiah Yeshua revealed His power and grace to him in 2009. He chose to follow Him, and the Lord called him up (Aliyah) to his Jewish heritage, faith, and purpose. With the help of God, while having ministerial leadership since 2010, he  achieved a BA in Business from Rollins College in 2018 and, from the IAMCS Yeshiva, a Certificate of Completion for Ordination in 2024. Lastly, he is a candidate for a Masters of Divinity from Liberty University. Rabbi Jacob's hope is simply to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Yeshua and to lead those God has called him to in remembrance of our shared Heritage in Messiah Yeshua. Jacob recently authored the book “The Unkosher Marshmallow.”

Two weeks ago, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on April 30, 2025, about whether Oklahoma can operate the nation's first faith-based charter school. If the Supreme Court decides their way, St. Isidore of Seville would be a virtual, K-12 school run by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Oklahoma City and the Diocese of Tulsa. We should note that a lot of conservatives are with St. Isidore. Alliance Defending Freedom's Jim Campbell was one of the attorneys arguing on behalf of the Oklahoma charter board and the school. Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican supporter of St. Isidore, said the case “stands to be one of the most significant religious and education freedom decisions in our lifetime.” The conservative legal group Liberty Counsel filed an amicus brief in the case, also in favor of St. Isidore. But not everyone – even on the conservative and Christian side of the aisle — is so enthusiastic. David Dockery is the president of the International Alliance for Christian Education. He told MinistryWatch, “IACE does not have an official position on the St Isidore case since we do not have full agreement on this matter among those who serve on the Board.” Dan Burrell is a longtime Christian education leader. Today he serves as a pastor in Charlotte, N.C., and the chairman of the board of MinistryWatch. His experience includes a tenure as president of the Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools. He was also a faculty member at Liberty University's graduate school of education. Burrell said he was “pretty strongly opposed” to government-funded religious schools.

As soon as his 90-day probation period expired, he revealed he had begun taking female hormones four months before he was hired. Constitutional expert, lawyer, author, pastor, and founder of Liberty Counsel Mat Staver discusses the important topics of the day with co-hosts and guests that impact life, liberty, and family.

Under new manager Terry Francona, the Reds aim to leverage their young talent, including Elly De La Cruz, to maintain momentum. The Nationals, struggling offensively, present an opportunity for Cincinnati to solidify their playoff push.

Austin Mock is a data-driven sports analyst for The Athletic, renowned for his advanced statistical models and simulations that predict outcomes and rate performances across the NFL, college football, MLB, and other sports. A former college baseball player, Mock's passion for sports statistics began in childhood, evolving into sophisticated projection models using granular data like play-by-play or plate appearance metrics. His work, which started as a hobby in 1999, now informs betting markets and team performance evaluations, offering insights into playoff probabilities and championship odds. Mock's models, refined through years of tweaks and coding in Python, provide transparent, detailed projections, making his content accessible to both bettors and casual fans. Beyond The Athletic, his analyses appear in The New York Times and Yahoo Sports. While another Austin Mock, a long snapper at Liberty University, exists, the analyst's focus is on data, not playing. His recent work includes NFL Draft projections and NCAA Tournament betting picks, showcasing his versatility. Mock's innovative approach, blending storytelling with analytics, has made him a trusted voice in sports journalism, though he avoids clichés, aiming to redefine how sports data is presented.

Today,we're looking at Luke 16:19-31. The subject of this passage is hell. I'll neverforget my very first message to preach in 1973 as a student at LibertyUniversity, then called Lynchburg Baptist College. It was in the back diningroom of the Echo Village restaurant in Winchester, Virginia, and the title ofmy message was "Hell Is No Joke." As I said yesterday, God used thispassage to alert me to the reality of eternity in hell if I did not receiveJesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Asa child, I had been encouraged to memorize Mark 8:36-38: "For whatshall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? Orwhat shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" That verse, alongwith this passage of Scripture on hell, reminded me as a 19-year-old teenagerthat I would face eternity in hell if I did not repent of my sins and trustChrist as my Savior. I had to make a choice, and I came to the reality that Idid not want to spend an eternity in hell for a few years, (10, 15, 20, or even50 years) of pleasure on earth. It would not be worth it. The Holy Spiritconvicted me of my sin, woke me up, and I trusted Jesus to come into my hearton February 21, 1971. My life has never been the same, and I'm thankful forthis passage. Somepeople don't like to talk about hell, but it's a reality. Some don't like totalk about death, but it's a reality. In this passage of Scripture, there aretwo men: a rich man and a poor man. One was very, very rich—we don't know hisname; he's anonymous, but he was a real man. Jesus said, "A certainman." Then there was a very poor man, a beggar named Lazarus. Oh, he had aname—Jesus named him because Jesus knows His sheep by name, and they followHim.  Thereality is, it doesn't matter whether you're rich or poor, educated oruneducated, famous or unknown. There is one equalizer for all of us: death. “It'sappointed unto man once to die, and after this, the judgment” (Hebrews9:27). “Our lives are but a vapor; they appear for a little time and thenvanish away” (James 4:14). Proverbs 27:1 says, "Boast not yourselfof tomorrow, for you know not what a day may bring forth." Thereality of death is always before us. Sometimes we dread or avoid funeralsbecause they remind us of that reality. It was at a funeral for his cousin,killed in Korea, that my dad woke up to the reality of facing eternity andhaving to die one day. That realization led him to a pastor to ask aboutsalvation, and he got saved. Our family's life changed forever, and my lifechanged when I met Jesus. My friend, I'm telling you, you do not want to go toa terrible place called hell. We'lltalk more about the place of hell, but right now, we're emphasizing the factthat there was a certain beggar and a certain rich man, and they both died.They both died, but where they went was two different places. When they died,the beggar was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man alsodied and was buried. Abraham's bosom, as we study Scripture, was a place calledSheol in the Old Testament, the place of all the departed dead. It had twocompartments: a paradise side and a Hades side. We see that from this passage.Jesus told the thief on the cross, "Today you will be with me inparadise." We'llgo into more details about what we believe this place is, where it is, and howlong it will last tomorrow. But today, the reality is that there is a placecalled hell, and one day we will die. We'll either go to a place of paradise,which today is heaven, or we'll go to a place called hell, the place of eternaltorment. We must make a choice—that's the reality of it. What is your choicetoday? Have you trusted Christ? If not, why not? Today, why not make the LordJesus Christ your Savior, invite Him into your heart, and find true salvationas you repent of your sins? Today,will you fix your eyes upon the cross of Jesus Christ and trust Him to be yourLord and Savior?

Tom welcomes back Tavi Costa, Portfolio Manager at Crescat Capital, to discuss the current state of gold, silver, mining stocks, and broader economic trends. Costa emphasizes that despite technical indicators suggesting overbought conditions in gold, the underlying macroeconomic factors point to continued strength in precious metals. He highlights the role of central banks, particularly in emerging markets like China, Russia, and Turkey, which have been significant buyers of gold. Costa argues that gold's revaluation is driven by global debt imbalances, de-globalization trends, and countries seeking to stabilize their monetary systems. He also explains how higher gold prices can increase the U.S. Treasury's cash reserves, enabling buybacks of Treasuries without quantitative easing, which he believes will be a critical tool for managing debt. Costa is bullish on mining stocks, noting they are historically undervalued relative to U.S. equities and have outperformed over the past decade. He suggests that as global infrastructure needs grow and supply chains shift, mining companies will play a crucial role in meeting demand for essential commodities. Additionally, he points out the attractive valuations of silver, given its high gold-to-silver ratio, which he believes could lead to significant price appreciation. The discussion also touches on the U.S. dollar's structural downtrend, driven by high debt levels and interest payment burdens, and how this impacts emerging markets positively. Costa predicts that lower yields on short-term Treasuries will benefit miners and other sectors. He concludes by advocating for increased exposure to energy stocks due to geopolitical tensions and rising oil prices.

We talk a lot around here about parenting with purpose, discipling our children, and homeschooling with excellence. But all of that takes place within the context of family life—and that means that even the practical, everyday decisions we make matter deeply.  In this episode of the Teach Them Diligently Podcast, Leslie Nunnery sits down with Wes Humble of Liberty HealthShare to explore a topic that touches every family—healthcare.

Many think of Easter as the day with eggs, bunnies, and chocolate candies, but in reality this day commemorates a day that changed everything! For this is a day where the tomb was found empty that now over 2 billion people around the world come together to reflect on, remember, and celebrate a Risen Savior, the Risen Christ! 1 Peter 1:3 says, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." You see, the resurrection is the pillar and the foundation of our faith!! A day that reminds us, not only did Christ defeat sin by paying the ultimate sacrifice for our sins through a substitutionary death on the cross, but then by rising again 3 days later He defeated death, providing each and every one of us the opportunity to spend eternal life with HIM. By rising from the dead, Jesus Christ demonstrated that He had cleansed the guilt of our past and is able to help and walk alongside of us in our present. His resurrection provides us with an ever-present HOPE assuring us that our future is safe and secure. You see, the empty tomb is proof of Christ's deity, and it guarantees the future resurrection of His believers, those who have been saved. Romans 10:9 says, that “If you declare with your mouth that “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved! However, many remain puzzled and confused asking questions such as, “Why did Jesus have to die?” or “Why did He have to die in that way?” or even “How do we know that the tomb was empty?” or lastly “If the tomb really was empty, how then should we live our lives?” Thankfully today we have Senior Pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church and Chancellor of Liberty University, Jonathan Falwell here to unpack all of these questions as he so elequently simplifies the good news of the gospel for us all to understand! Remember, Easter is not simply a moment or a part of history – Easter is the meaning and the point of history… Easter isn’t just about one day – the message of Easter is a lifestyle that we can live with every moment of every day! Happy Easter!

At the root of classical education is a noble challenge championed by master teachers throughout the Western heritage: teaching is the process of soul-craft—by which educators cultivate virtue within other human beings so that they might live good lives.This challenge inherently elevates the role of teachers beyond mere transmitters of knowledge to shapers of innate potential— people with the power and influence to build up or undermine the lives and willpower of students.In this presentation, Mr. Palmer explored the tragic landscape of contemporary American education, explicated the nuances of soul-craft in theory and practice, and revealed why this kind of soul-craft possesses ultimate significance for human flourishing.Zach Palmer received a B.A. in History from Hillsdale College and an M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction: History from Liberty University. Mr. Palmer teaches American History, Western Civilization, and Civics.

Show Notes: Resources:   Operation Homefront https://operationhomefront.org/   Military Child of the Year Award Recipients https://operationhomefront.org/military-child-of-the-year/   Bio: Emily, the Operation Homefront 2025 Military Child of the Year for the National Guard is 18, and the daughter of Rebecca and Juan Carlos Baldeosingh, an Army National Guard sergeant who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.  Her stepfather, retired Marine Sgt. Maj. Skip Amaker, served 26 years. His tenure included five deployments to Iraq and one to Afghanistan.   Emily was 2 when her mother received the news on June 29, 2009, that Juan Carlos was among four North Carolina guardsmen killed in Iraq when an improvised explosive device detonated near their vehicle. He first served in the Marine Corps but transitioned to civilian life and, in 2008, joined the Guard.  Being part of a Gold Star Family has shaped Emily.   “I have grown up with the utmost respect for our country and those who serve to protect our freedom,” she said. “My family has always made it a top-tier priority to stay hopeful and stay positive through everything.”    Natalia, the Operation Homefront 2025 Military Child of the Year for the Space Force, finds opportunity in the challenges that face military families.  Natalia, 17, is the daughter of Maria Tapia and Chief Master Sgt. Jay Harris, who has served in the Air Force and Space Force since 1995. He is currently senior enlisted leader at Vandenberg Space Force Base.   Natalia understands the hardships of changing friend groups and adapting to new cultures after attending ​​12 schools and enduring seven PCS moves that have taken the family to five states and ​​​​one foreign country.  At first, she saw the constant change and upheaval as a disadvantage. However, her perspective changed, and she learned to value resiliency.   “I chose to shift my mindset, and now I appreciate the ​​ 12 supportive schools, ​​12 reliable friend groups, and seven different places that I can proudly call home,” she said. “Every one of these experiences has profoundly influenced my journey, instilling in me a deep appreciation for resilience and the importance of building meaningful connections.”    Mason, the Operation Homefront 2025 Military Child of the Year for the Navy, earned a bachelor's degree before most of his peers finished high school. He reached the accelerated milestone while balancing academics with caregiving responsibilities at home.  Mason, 19, is the son of Melissa and Chief Warrant Officer Jason Mosher of Marysville, Washington. Jason, a 20-year veteran of the Navy, serves as N6A at Commander Naval Surface Group Northwest and is based at Naval Station Everett.   The family has made four PCS moves, including two to Japan, and Mason's father has been away on deployments, patrols, and missions at sea for 97 months.   A homeschool student, Mason excels despite challenges of dysgraphia, a learning difference that affects written work and motor skills. He graduated high school at 16 and completed his associate degree from Liberty University four months later. He kept up the pace, and less than two years later graduated cum laude from Liberty University with a bachelor's degree in marketing and advertising.    Maribel is Operation Homefront's 2025 Military Child of the Year for the Army is founding and presiding over a youth volunteering organization when her family was stationed in Japan, serving with the Red Cross, and dedicating herself to improving childhood literacy are just a few of the reasons.  She is 17, lives in Kentucky where her father, Lt. Col. Nicholas Sikes, is stationed at Fort Knox. Her mom, Audrey Sikes, homeschools Maribel and her four younger siblings.   In considering colleges, along with the usual items like location, financial aid, and aligning majors, Maribel must consider her food allergies and whether she can access allergen-free food stations. Her allergies and medical conditions are why she wants to study supply chain management and attend school in the Southeast.  “I want to ensure that other kids will not be worried about where their next meal is coming from because the grocery store is out of the right allergy-friendly foods,” she said. “With a degree in supply chain…I will be able to make a difference in other people's lives by providing enough safe food for them.”    Full biographies can be found at https://operationhomefront.org/2025-military-child-of-the-year-award-recipients/?internal_medium=internal&internal_source=banner&internal_campaign=thd-oh-25-03-internal-mcoy-traff&internal_content=D2503W61SB&sourceid=1153486.

In this episode I talk with Dr. Jordan Ballard, Assistant Professor at the John W. Wralings School of Divinity at Liberty University and adjunct professor at Calvary University. His doctoral thesis was entitled The Kindness and Severity of God: A Defense of the Conquest of Canaan, which explores the conquest narratives in Joshua 1-12. We will be discussing the problem of Old Testament violence and how to think about it from a Christian perspective. We situate the conquest narratives in the context of Old Testament theology more generally, which includes God's plan to redeem creation, and the narrative context of the book of Joshua. We discuss God's unique prerogative to make decisions about human life, Canaanite evil and Israel's covenant, and the apparent discrepancy between the presentation of God's character in the Old and New Testaments. This is an excellent primer for anyone concerned about problem of violence in the Old Testament and how Christians should reckon with it.  Media Referenced:The Kindness and Severity of God: https://digitalcommons.liberty.edu/doctoral/3815/ The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

April 2, 2025—dubbed “Liberation Day” by Donald Trump—new sweeping tariffs were announced, including a 10% baseline on all imports and steep country-specific increases. But is this protectionist move really the start of an American economic revival, or just a massive tax hike on American families? Chris Spangle is joined by Aiden Grogan, a writer and Ph.D. student at Liberty University, to examine the economic consequences of tariffs, the myths of protectionism, and the real reasons manufacturing is returning to the U.S. Tariffs Won't Bring On the "Golden Age of America" - https://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2025/02/25/tariffs_wont_create_the_golden_age_of_america_1093222.html#google_vignette https://youtu.be/3W4tjgD-1XI Learn more about your ad choices.

Joining The Feds this week is Twila Brase, RN, president of Citizens' Council for Health Freedom and author of the book Big Brother in the Exam Room: The Dangerous Truth about Electronic Health Records. We discuss the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and how it not only does not provide privacy for medical history, but allows your information to be more readily shared. We discuss what citizens can do to turn the tide and reverse this deceptive act, the role AI already plays in the medical system, and what kinds of doctors freedom-minded Americans should be seeking out. Twila warns our audience of the harms of the REAL ID and the greater power the federal government would hold if a significant number of Americans comply. She gives the history of the National ID discussion, and debunks the claim that citizens will no longer be able to fly after May 7, 2025 without the REAL ID. Twila gives helpful insight into what we can do to turn this tide, and continue to demand our freedoms be respected and upheld.

Ben likes to run, and Donna doesn't, but if he had made that the issue while they were dating, they wouldn't be married today! He learned that he didn't *really* care about his girlfriend loving to run like he did, so it wasn't a dealbreaker! Ben Stuart's book, "Single, Engaged, Dating, Married," played an important part in the beginning of Sadie and Christian's dating relationship. Today, Ben and his wife, Donna, join Sadie to talk about all things singleness, how they started dating, how you know if the person you're dating is "the one," and why, in a new update of the book, Ben included a chapter on breaking up. Sadie talks about a defining moment for her when she fully intended to break up with Christian and how his reaction and statement completely changed her heart—she went from wanting to break up to wanting to marry him. Donna and Ben both share about their time apart when Ben asked for a pause and a letter-writing part for their relationship—and what that eventually proved to them both about the other. If you're in any of these phases, you won't want to miss this encouraging conversation about godly ways to approach finding a spouse.

This week, former Thomas Road Baptist Church (TRBC) pastor Sergio Guardia was found guilty on all three counts, including Stalking and Breaking and Entering, according to court documents. The case, which has garnered significant local attention, reveals disturbing patterns—not only in Guardia's actions but also in TRBC's failure to protect the victim and its continued support of the convicted abuser.Marie Columna, the victim, courageously testified in court this week, delivering her witness statement with the support of several victims' advocates who traveled to stand by her side. She has chosen to speak out publicly and is available for interviews.One of the most shocking aspects of the case is that Guardia was caught on camera breaking into Columna's home. Despite this clear evidence, TRBC failed to stand with the survivor. Instead, they treated her poorly and chose to support the convicted pastor.This is about more than just one case; there appear to be other victims and a larger story that needs to be investigated. The way TRBC handled this is deeply concerning—not just for Columna, but for anyone who has suffered abuse within their religious institutions.The case raises even greater concerns due to TRBC's close ties to Liberty University, which was recently fined $14 million for its mishandling of sexual assault cases. This apparent pattern of neglect and institutional protection of abusers demands further investigation.✖️✖️✖️Support the Show: Patreon.com/PreacherBoys✖️✖️✖️If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, visit courage365.org/need-help✖️✖️✖️CONNECT WITH THE SHOW:preacherboyspodcast.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@PreacherBoyshttps://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/https://twitter.com/preacherboysdochttps://www.instagram.com/preacherboyspodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@preacherboyspodTo connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/✖️✖️✖️The content presented in this video is for informational and educational purposes only.

Earlier this year, I had the honor of speaking at Liberty University's Convocation.    I spoke to hundreds of students on what it takes to be on the frontlines of pro-life activism, as well as the importance of fighting at the state level, where pro-abortion laws are still being passed.     For this episode of the Kristan Hawkins Show, I wanted to bring that speech to you.    I hope you enjoy!     Follow/Subscribe to The Kristan Hawkins Show:  @KristanHawkinsSFLA     Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/kristanmercerhawkins/ X: https://x.com/KristanHawkins Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/HawkinsKristan   To hear from me DAILY on pro-life news that you need to know, join my personal text line by texting “KRISTAN” to 53445.

Jenn Johnson is a self-described "girl's girl" who embodies such joy and, as Sadie says, is one of the most fun people to be around! Where does all her joy come from? Knowing and loving the Lord — as she's done all her life. Jenn talks about Bethel Music's latest album, "We Must Respond," where the title came from, and what the songs mean to her. For Jenn, she loves writing as a collaboration and why it's often when some of the most impactful songs are written — with others! Sadie and Jenn both share how the fear of what others think has made a mark on them, and how they're striving to make God's approval the only thing that matters. You can listen to/purchase Bethel Music's new album, "We Must Respond" now!
