Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield, Melba Schofield, Stefanie Thayer, Dr. Craig Thayer, Dr. Paul Hall, and Ron Greer AI, Identity Theft, and the New Rules of Personal Protection Pastor Joe Schofield and the Raising Expectations panel welcome Frank Roberson of Black Rhino Protection Agency for a wide-ranging conversation about AI-enabled scams, voice cloning, social media exposure, drone threats, identity theft, executive protection, travel safety, and practical security habits for families. Friends, Frank Roberson, Founder and CEO of “Black Rhino Group”, returns, joining us once again on Raising Expectations! He's Ba'ack! Yes, Monday night as requested we're thrilled to welcome back our dear friend and valued ‘Raising Expectations' family member Frank Roberson. With expertise in protective services, counterintelligence, and threat analysis, Frank will share insights on safeguarding political leaders, like President Trump, and cultivating 'Situational Awareness' for everyday life. By learning from Frank's expertise, you'll gain clarity on navigating life's safety challenges and have a better understanding of the importance of preparedness in the face of adversity. Lives can depend on it, and with this knowledge, you'll be better equipped to protect and serve your loved ones. Frank will offer practical wisdom to help you navigate life's complexities with confidence. You won't want to miss this powerful and yet entertaining discussion. Guest Spotlight: Frank Roberson Frank Roberson, founder of Black Rhino Protection Agency, returns to Raising Expectations for another conversation on personal protection, security awareness, and emerging threats. Drawing from his experience in executive protection and family security planning, Frank discusses AI-driven impersonation scams, social media risks, fake identification, drone surveillance, identity-theft restoration, and the practical habits everyday families can use to protect themselves. Faith, Family, and the Raising Expectations Table The episode opens with the Raising Expectations theme and Pastor Joe Schofield's familiar message of optimism rooted in faith. Joe reminds listeners that the program is built around hope, family, friendship, and the belief that God is active in people's lives. He introduces the show's extended panel, including Melba Schofield, Stefanie Thayer, Dr. Craig Thayer, Dr. Paul Hall, and Ron Greer, with the show's usual warmth, sports banter, humor, and family-style conversation. The hosts also direct listeners to the Raising Expectations page on BBS Radio, where they can find show information, books, prior episodes, and donation options. Black Rhino's Growth and New Operations Frank begins by updating the panel on the growth of Black Rhino Protection Agency. He says the company has been building out an operations center, including a classified SCIF connected to overseas contracts, and preparing satellite offices in Dallas and Washington, D.C., with Santa Rosa being considered as another possible location. He also describes building proprietary software to run operations from payroll to scheduling, with an added protective-service component for protectees. Frank says the shift from field protection work to CEO and board-level responsibilities has been a major adjustment, but also an exciting journey. AI Changes the Protection Game Dr. Craig Thayer raises the subject of AI threats, asking about risks to individual clients and national security. Frank says AI has changed protection work dramatically, especially for families, diplomats, elected officials, and high-profile individuals. He explains why code names and code phrases matter, giving examples of families using prearranged phrases when something feels unsafe or when an urgent exit is needed. He says what once sounded overly cautious has become necessary because AI can now imitate voices, generate convincing images, create fake IDs, and help scammers or attackers gather believable details. Voice Cloning and Kidnapping Scams One of the strongest warnings in the episode involves AI-enabled voice cloning. Frank describes scams where a family receives a call that sounds like a child or loved one screaming that they have been kidnapped, pressuring the family to send money quickly. He explains that wealthy families in particular may pay immediately if they believe a child is in danger, which is why families need private code phrases or proof-of-life details known only to trusted people. The panel also discusses real-world examples of people losing money to fake emergency calls, including cases involving gift cards, urgent car trouble, or threats of jail. Fake IDs, Deepfakes, and Building Access Frank then expands the concern beyond phone scams into physical security. He says AI and digital tools can help bad actors create fake identification, recreate images, and produce convincing documents. He describes how weak front-desk security, casual handling of badges, and unchecked assumptions can allow someone to enter sensitive areas. Frank gives an example of a security assessment in which someone gained access deep inside a building using another person's identification, eventually calling the CEO from a supposedly secure room. His point is that technology and human inattention together can create serious vulnerabilities. Social Media Exposure and Burglary Risks The conversation turns to social media, where Frank warns against posting real-time travel details. He says people often announce that they are away from home on cruises or trips, which can signal that their house is empty. He adds that burglars may no longer be most interested in televisions or other material items; instead, they may look for personal documents, deeds, titles, identification information, and anything that can be used to create a new version of the victim's identity. Frank encourages listeners to be cautious with friend requests, especially from suspicious accounts with few friends or unclear connections. Metadata, Birthdays, and Everyday Privacy Habits Frank offers several everyday protection tips. He says people should not feel obligated to provide a correct birthday to non-governmental platforms or loyalty programs that do not legally require it. He also warns that photos can contain metadata showing when, where, and how the image was taken. To reduce that risk, he suggests taking a screenshot of a photo before posting, because the screenshot will not contain the same original location metadata. He also recommends multi-factor authentication and being cautious with password-reset notices, unknown texts, fake receipts, PayPal-style scams, and messages that pressure users to click quickly. Meta Glasses, Drones, and New Surveillance Concerns Frank also discusses newer technology such as Meta glasses, which can discreetly record pictures or short videos. He explains that someone could use such glasses to capture medical records on a desk, observe jewelry-store security, record layouts, or gather private information in public settings. The panel then moves into drones and anti-drone technology. Frank says protective teams must assume that bad actors can buy or misuse the same technology security teams use. He describes geofenced drone patrols, portable camera systems, infrared and night-vision tools, and the need to think like an attacker when designing a protection plan. Executive Protection, Family Safety, and Travel Awareness Frank emphasizes that many protected executives do not have equivalent protection for their families or residences, which he sees as a major gap. He discusses threat assessments for travel, including a family trip to Mexico, and stresses the importance of not attracting attention through flashy behavior, expensive watches, luxury vehicles, or careless routines. He recalls examples involving golf groups, restaurants, public exposure, and foreign travel where protective awareness mattered. His advice includes watching drinks, avoiding unnecessary attention, using safe routes, being careful with drivers and strangers, and remembering that attackers only need to get it right once, while protectors must get it right every day. Identity-Theft Restoration Matters Most The conversation closes with practical advice for ordinary families and middle-class listeners. Frank says monitoring services may make people feel better, but the most important feature is full identity-theft restoration after something goes wrong. He recommends services that monitor all three major credit bureaus and provide restoration support through investigators, legal resources, and limited power of attorney so the victim is not left doing all the paperwork alone. He stresses that much personal information is already exposed through data breaches, so the real question is how quickly and completely someone can recover when identity theft happens. Closing Banter, Gratitude, and Raised Expectations The final portion returns to the show's familiar mix of gratitude, humor, sports banter, and encouragement. Stefanie Thayer reminds listeners to visit the Raising Expectations page on BBS Radio for prior shows, donation options, host information, and upcoming updates. Pastor Joe thanks Frank Roberson, Christy, and the Black Rhino team for sharing their expertise and friendship. The panel closes with jokes about football, Cowboys and 49ers references, laughter, blessings, and the reminder that God continues to work in listeners' lives as they keep raising expectations.

Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield, Melba Schofield, Stefanie Thayer, Dr. Craig Thayer, Dr. Paul Hall, and Ron Greer Faith, Freedom, and the Fight for America The Raising Expectations team welcomes attorney, retired Army colonel, and author Kurt Schlichter for a wide-ranging discussion on faith, American leadership, cultural change, national security, education, civic responsibility, and the role Christians can play in shaping the nation's future.

Boldness and appropriate transparency has aided in making us proud to be Americans once again! Kurt Schlichter has value driven conservative insights that are true and continue to inspire us as a nation! You won't want to miss the show so tell your friends and tune in and watch… Guest Spotlight Kurt Schlichter returns to Raising Expectations as a respected political commentator, attorney, retired U.S. Army colonel, and bestselling author known for combining military experience, legal insight, and cultural commentary. Throughout the conversation, Kurt discusses current events through the lenses of patriotism, faith, and public service while sharing perspectives drawn from his writing career, military background, and observations of American culture. Although the conversation covers numerous political topics, it repeatedly returns to the importance of personal responsibility, moral conviction, and active civic engagement. Faith, Freedom, and the State of the Nation Pastor Joe Schofield opens the program by reaffirming the show's commitment to faith in Jesus Christ, love for America, and confidence that God continues to work in the lives of those who trust Him. After introducing the panel and welcoming returning guest Kurt Schlichter, the conversation turns toward the current condition of the nation and the challenges facing American society. Kurt describes himself as optimistic about the country's future, arguing that many Americans have become dissatisfied with existing political and cultural institutions and are seeking meaningful change. The discussion establishes a hopeful yet candid tone as the panel explores leadership, public policy, and the responsibilities of citizenship from a Christian perspective. Leadership, Faith, and Public Service One of the conversation's earliest themes centers on political leadership and personal transformation. Kurt shares his view that President Donald Trump has pursued significant policy changes by challenging assumptions about what government can and cannot accomplish. Beyond politics, he also reflects on what he believes has been a noticeable change in Trump's personal faith following the assassination attempt against him, describing it as an example of how life-changing experiences can deepen spiritual awareness. The panel discusses the distinction between identifying with religion and developing an authentic relationship with God, emphasizing Bible reading, prayer, and continued spiritual growth over religious labels alone. Throughout the exchange, the speakers encourage listeners to pursue faith as a daily relationship rather than merely a public identity. Stories Shape Culture The discussion shifts toward Kurt's work as a novelist and his belief that culture is influenced not only through politics but also through storytelling. He introduces several of his books, including his upcoming novel American Warlord, and explains why he believes conservatives and Christians should actively create fiction, entertainment, and cultural works that reflect their values instead of simply criticizing existing media. Kurt argues that many ordinary Americans who work hard, raise families, practice their faith, and contribute positively to their communities are rarely represented in modern entertainment. For him, participating in culture is another way of preserving important values and broadening public conversation. Christians and Civic Responsibility The panel repeatedly returns to the role Christians play within American society. Pastor Joe expresses concern that many believers remain disengaged from public life or become informed only shortly before elections, while Kurt encourages greater participation in civic affairs. Rather than viewing political involvement as separate from faith, the speakers suggest that informed citizenship can become an extension of personal stewardship and responsibility. They discuss voting, public discourse, and the importance of remaining engaged in issues affecting local communities and the nation while seeking to act with integrity and conviction. Ideology, Media, and Competing Worldviews As the discussion broadens, Kurt shares his concerns about socialism, ideological movements, higher education, and parts of the modern media landscape. He argues that many people naturally seek purpose and meaning, and when religious faith is absent, they may replace it with political or cultural ideologies. The panel also discusses contemporary debates surrounding identity, entertainment, journalism, and public institutions, expressing concern that some voices discourage open dialogue or promote ideas they believe conflict with biblical values. Throughout these exchanges, the hosts frequently contrast cultural trends with what they view as enduring principles rooted in Christian faith and personal accountability. National Security and America's Place in the World Drawing upon his military experience, Kurt offers an extended discussion of American foreign policy, particularly regarding Iran, China, Russia, Ukraine, and broader geopolitical strategy. He explains how diplomatic, informational, military, and economic tools can work together to accomplish long-term strategic objectives, suggesting that effective leadership requires coordinating all four rather than relying solely upon military force. The panel also considers changing international alliances, energy policy, economic pressure, and global competition, viewing these developments through the broader lens of national security and America's future role on the world stage. Education, Skilled Trades, and the Dignity of Work Another major theme focuses on education and the changing value of higher learning. Kurt questions whether many universities continue to provide practical value, expressing concern about rising student debt, ideological influence, and the growing availability of alternative forms of learning. The panel discusses vocational education, skilled trades, apprenticeships, and technical careers, emphasizing that meaningful work should never be measured solely by academic credentials. Through stories about contractors, tradespeople, military service, and everyday professions, the conversation highlights the dignity of honest labor and the importance of respecting people for the quality of their work rather than their educational pedigree. Remembering the America That Built Community The discussion becomes more personal as Kurt reflects on his childhood in California, neighborhood friendships, books, television, family life, and the experiences that shaped previous generations. While acknowledging the benefits of technological advancement, including artificial intelligence, the panel also expresses concern that some aspects of community life, childhood independence, and shared cultural experiences have become more difficult to preserve. Rather than rejecting modern technology, the speakers encourage thoughtful use of new tools while continuing to cultivate strong families, meaningful relationships, and local communities. Standing for Truth with Courage As the conversation concludes, the panel returns to the role of Christians in an increasingly divided culture. Dr. Paul Hall expresses appreciation for Kurt's optimism and willingness to speak openly about difficult issues, while the hosts encourage believers to stand firmly for truth without fear or embarrassment. Pastor Ron Greer closes the program with a prayer asking for God's protection, wisdom, and continued guidance over Kurt, his family, and his work. The episode ends by reminding listeners that faith, courage, service, and hope remain essential qualities for those seeking to strengthen both their communities and their nation.

Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield, Melba Schofield, Stefanie Thayer, Dr. Craig Thayer, Dr. Paul Hall, and Ron Greer Never Doubt the Power of a Positive Word Dr. Sheila Schuller Coleman joins the Raising Expectations team for an uplifting conversation about hope, Christian identity, compassionate ministry, and the lasting influence of words spoken with faith and love. Friends, Here is a special word from Sheila Schuller Coleman just for you and tonight's “Raising Expectations “show! "Never Doubt the Power of a Positive Word! Have you ever considered that you carry the power of life and death in your words? When I became friends with a homeless man, Mark, I saw firsthand that the positive words I'd been taught by my father really can save lives! It's my mission in life to remind others that they, too, have this within themselves. To receive and even to give words of life to others." It's going to be a great and informative night together! Guest Spotlight Dr. Sheila Schuller Coleman brings a deeply personal and pastoral message shaped by her Christian faith, her ministry experience, and the teachings of her father, Dr. Robert Schuller. Throughout the episode, she reflects on lessons she received about reframing negative language, encouraging people through words of hope, and recognizing practical needs as an essential part of compassionate ministry. She shares stories from her work with homeless families, children, churches, international ministries, and individuals she has encountered in everyday places. Her message centers on the belief that even one sincere and compassionate statement can plant a seed whose eventual impact may be far greater than the speaker ever sees. Don't forget to check out our guest, Dr. Coleman's books! "The Heart of a Warrior: Delivering the Children of the World for Christ" "The Living Tree" "Unearthing the Lost Treasure: Wisdom" "Claiming The Identity of Christ's Children: A Handbook for Families" Never Doubt the Power of a Positive Word Dr. Sheila Schuller Coleman introduces the evening's central theme by explaining how her father taught her to examine every word and reframe messages from a positive perspective. She acknowledges that speaking this way requires intention and discipline but says Christians can express the hope of Jesus Christ through language that encourages rather than discourages. To illustrate the principle, she recalls meeting a homeless man named Mark through a weekly meal ministry she established at the Crystal Cathedral campus. When Mark told her that he did not believe in God, she responded that God believed in him. Years later, she encountered him again and learned that he had embraced Christianity and was playing guitar in a worship band. For Dr. Coleman, the experience demonstrates how words can function like seeds whose growth may remain unseen for years. Restoring Hope Before Despair Takes Hold The conversation expands into the relationship between encouragement, despair, and the human need for hope. Dr. Paul Hall observes that the loss of hope can be associated with suicidal despair, prompting the panel to discuss the responsibility carried by parents, grandparents, pastors, teachers, counselors, and other caring adults. Dr. Coleman and the Raising Expectations team describe words as capable of producing either healthy or damaging fruit, especially when spoken repeatedly over children. Stefanie Thayer explains that an offhand criticism received in childhood can become a destructive belief that follows someone into adulthood. The speakers therefore encourage replacing inherited negative messages with Scripture-based affirmations and truthful declarations of identity. Their discussion presents hope as something that can be strengthened through intentional language, prayer, community, and compassionate attention. Speaking Identity Over Children and Grandchildren Dr. Coleman shares how she applies these principles within her own family by deliberately choosing affirming language for her grandchildren. Rather than calling an energetic child a “handful,” she calls him a “heartful,” reframing his liveliness as something valuable rather than burdensome. She tells the story of that grandson praying for a sibling and eventually welcoming triplets into the family, which she describes with humor and gratitude. Dr. Coleman teaches her grandchildren to describe themselves as one-in-a-million miracles, blessed and highly favored, and beloved children of the Most High God. She believes children must learn to claim their spiritual identity for themselves so they can resist harmful messages when parents and grandparents are not present. The panel agrees that repeatedly speaking loving and truthful words can help children develop healthier beliefs about their value, abilities, and purpose. Lessons from Dr. Robert Schuller's Ministry A substantial portion of the program reflects on the ministry philosophy and personal example of Dr. Robert Schuller. Dr. Coleman explains that her father was frequently criticized for offering what some called a “feel-good gospel,” but she says his primary concern was reaching people who were not already connected to a church. He believed that those who were already Christians had assurance of heaven, while his calling was to communicate the gospel to people who might otherwise reject or never hear it. She recounts how his missionary uncle taught him that people in China first needed rice before they were prepared to receive a religious message. That lesson led Dr. Schuller to ask residents of Garden Grove what they needed and contributed to his well-known ministry principle, “Find a need and fill it.” The panel connects this approach with the ministry of Jesus, emphasizing that feeding people, healing them, helping them find deliverance, and assuring them of God's love can be integral to spiritual outreach. Compassion in Everyday Encounters Dr. Coleman describes ordinary public encounters as opportunities to offer encouragement and recognize the dignity of others. She recounts meeting a grocery-store employee named Isaac who described his heart as small and dark and said he was not important to anyone. Dr. Coleman responded that he was important to God and continued praying for him whenever she saw him afterward. When she later saw Isaac smiling and laughing, she viewed the encounter as encouragement to keep praying and to continue planting positive words without assuming she would immediately see their results. The conversation also includes humorous examples of misunderstood comments in public places, reinforcing how quickly words can travel beyond their intended audience. The speakers encourage listeners to remain attentive during routine activities because people may be more willing to talk, receive prayer, or accept encouragement than expected. The Heart of a Warrior and Faith During Difficult Seasons Dr. Coleman discusses her book The Heart of a Warrior, which she says began as an assignment from God to address the spiritual needs of children. While researching the condition of young people, she encountered a statistic about rising suicide rates among 14-year-olds that deeply affected her and strengthened her commitment to prayer and ministry. She also reflects on helping prepare her father's messages for publication, including Tough Times Never Last, But Tough People Do!, and offers its central encouragement to listeners facing hardship. Recalling a difficult season at the Crystal Cathedral, she describes going to a prayer garden and receiving renewed strength through the words of a hymn assuring her of God's presence and sustaining power. Dr. Coleman encourages listeners to pray, as she does, “Lord, give me the same faith in You that You have in Yourself,” especially when confronting circumstances that appear immovable. Her testimony frames courage not as the absence of fear, but as choosing to trust and move forward despite fear. From Encouraging Words to Active Ministry The final portion of the conversation shows how Dr. Coleman's message extends into tangible service. She describes Hope Center of Christ, her pastoral work, and partnerships with ministries supporting children, pregnant women and mothers, homeless families, churches, and communities in Kenya. One outreach began with the purchase of sheep for women in a Kenyan village and expanded as others contributed money and the animals multiplied, eventually helping one woman obtain a cow. Dr. Coleman also discusses her desire for a permanent church property where her congregation could establish programs for children, partner with ministries serving women in crisis pregnancies, feed homeless people, create a school, and provide additional community services. Melba Schofield prays for the property, the ministries, the mothers, and the children they hope to serve. Stefanie Thayer then prays for people serving in ministry and for provision for Raising Expectations, while Dr. Craig Thayer offers a separate prayer for BBS Radio TV, its staff, its continued operation, and its protection. Raising Expectations Through Faith, Service, and Hope Pastor Joe Schofield closes the program by drawing together the episode's themes of identity, prayer, courage, encouragement, and compassionate service. He describes Dr. Coleman and the Raising Expectations team as people who have served faithfully in different ways and who encourage listeners to believe they can face hardship through prayer, faith, and their identity in Christ. The hosts invite the audience to raise their expectations, pray through financial or personal difficulties, and trust that hardship does not eliminate purpose or hope. Dr. Coleman's stories reinforce the idea that ministry can begin with something as simple as a positive statement, a meal, a prayer, a sheep, or a willingness to ask another person what they need. The episode ultimately presents encouragement as both a spiritual discipline and a practical responsibility. Its closing message invites listeners to speak life, meet needs, remain faithful, and recognize the possibilities contained within even the smallest act of love.

Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield, Melba Schofield, Stefanie Thayer, Dr. Craig Thayer, Dr. Paul Hall, and Ron Greer Faith, Freedom, and the Future of America A spirited conversation about America's founding principles, the responsibilities of citizenship, and the sustaining power of faith during times of national change. Guest: Janet Price, Past President of GSRW (Golden State Republican Women) Janet Price is a faith-centered civic advocate and a leader involved with Golden State Republican Women. During the conversation, she speaks about public education, constitutional awareness, election concerns, and her belief that citizens should remain informed, prayerful, and actively engaged in the future of their communities. Her enthusiasm for American history and her commitment to California shape much of the episode's discussion. Friends, We are blessed and thrilled to have Janet Price: past President of GSRW, back with us on Monday night helping us celebrate our nation's 250th Birthday and rejoice in what God is doing all around us through answered prayers! We will look back at our Founding Fathers and the sacrifices made to procure the Constitution and win an impossible war against the most powerful nation in history. She often says as people of faith know... “God is in Control!”. As a woman of great faith and leader in the creation of “Golden State Republican Women” , Janet shares heartfelt insight into the political situation and what it means to all of us in America today. Her enthusiasm is contagious and anchored in her deep relationship with God through Jesus Christ! Janet is part of our Raising Expectations family and loved by countless people of our audience in California, across the nation and around the world. The discussion and interaction will be contagious and very enlightening for everyone… so tune in , call in, watch and listen. A Celebration of Faith and American Heritage Pastor Joe Schofield, Melba Schofield, Stefanie Thayer, Dr. Craig Thayer, and Dr. Paul Hall welcome Janet Price for a wide-ranging conversation inspired by the nation's 250th anniversary celebrations. The participants reflect on Independence Day events, patriotic traditions, and the emotional significance of remembering the sacrifices made by previous generations. They also discuss the enduring influence of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the nation's founding ideals. Throughout the opening conversation, the speakers connect their appreciation for America with their Christian faith and their belief that gratitude should lead to greater personal responsibility. Remembering the Sacrifices Behind America's Freedom The panel looks back at the courage, hardship, and personal sacrifice associated with America's founding and later generations who defended the country. Pastor Joe and Janet emphasize that freedom should not be treated casually because it was secured through the efforts of people who risked their lives, families, property, and reputations. The discussion touches on George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, the Revolutionary War, and the spiritual convictions the speakers believe influenced the nation's early leaders. They encourage listeners to study history more deeply rather than relying on simplified or incomplete accounts. The participants present historical understanding as an important safeguard against manipulation, political apathy, and the loss of national identity. Education, History, and the Responsibility to Participate Janet describes her efforts to promote education about the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, flag protocol, and election integrity. She argues that many younger Americans have not been adequately taught the history of their country and may therefore be more vulnerable to misleading political messages. Stefanie adds that civic responsibility also requires participation, pointing to low voter turnout and the influence that small but highly organized groups can have on elections. The panel encourages listeners to research candidates, examine their records, and evaluate the principles demonstrated through their actions. Rather than simply complaining about political outcomes, the speakers urge citizens to vote, speak thoughtfully, and take responsibility for the direction of their communities. Speaking the Truth Without Losing Compassion A central theme of the episode is the challenge of expressing strong convictions without becoming consumed by anger or hostility. Dr. Paul Hall reflects on the dangers of silence when people recognize wrongdoing but choose not to speak, while other panelists stress that truth should be communicated with love and humility. The speakers discuss how arguments often create more conflict than understanding, especially when people feel personally attacked. Stefanie explains that she frequently returns to the Bible as her moral compass when difficult ethical questions arise, allowing the conversation to focus on principles rather than personal opinion alone. Together, the panel encourages listeners to develop courage, patience, and emotional steadiness while remaining willing to stand for what they believe. Trusting God Through Uncertainty and Cultural Change The participants share personal examples of turning to prayer when faced with anxiety, confusion, or unexpected circumstances. Janet describes beginning her day with devotionals and reminding herself that God remains in control even when current events feel overwhelming. Melba recounts moments when people unexpectedly approached her for prayer, guidance, or encouragement, reinforcing her belief that spiritual opportunities often appear without warning. Stefanie discusses surrendering her daily plans to God and allowing faith to replace the pressure of trying to control every outcome. These stories highlight the episode's broader message that believers can remain peaceful and purposeful even while confronting difficult political, cultural, and personal realities. Hope for California, the Nation, and the Next Generation As the program moves toward its conclusion, Janet asks listeners to pray for honest and principled leaders in California, greater public awareness, and protection for the president, his family, and his administration. She expresses confidence that California can experience meaningful change and that citizens are becoming more willing to question deception and demand accountability. The hosts join her in emphasizing hope rather than despair, encouraging listeners to remain engaged while trusting that lasting transformation does not depend on one person alone. The episode closes with prayer, expressions of affection among the participants, and a reminder to seek God's direction in everyday life. Listeners are invited to approach the future with courage, faith, informed participation, and a renewed commitment to serving others.

Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield, Melba Schofield, Stefanie Thayer, Dr. Craig Thayer, Dr. Paul Hall, and Ron Greer America's 250th Anniversary, insights into the courageous Founding Fathers, Faith, Freedom, and the Duty to Keep the Republic Alive Guest, Pastor Will Hobbs Friends, Pastor Will Hobbs is back with us on “Raising Expectations!” “America's 250th” has arrived! Join us this Monday evening for a powerful discussion with Pastor Will Hobbs on 'Raising Expectations!' as he shares transformative insights on America's founding and the courageous individuals who shaped our nation's history. Amidst today's challenges, let's stand strong in faith, gratitude, and trust in God's unwavering presence, power, love and faithfulness that guides us. His plans unfold with purpose, bringing Him glory, us guidance, and demonstrating His love…Experience His peace that transcends understanding. John 14:27! Pastor Will and the 'Raising Expectations' team invite you to pray ahead, explore the facts, and discern your role in God's plans for your life and our nation. Celebrate America 250 and express thanks for God's blessings! A Fourth of July Conversation Rooted in Faith In this episode of Raising Expectations, Pastor Joe Schofield, Melba Schofield, Dr. Paul Hall, Dr. Craig Thayer, and Ron Greer welcome Pastor Hill Hobbs of Kelview Baptist Church in Midland, Texas, for a Fourth of July-themed discussion about America's founding, Christian faith, civic responsibility, and the spiritual meaning they attach to the nation's 250-year legacy. Pastor Joe opens by reaffirming the show's Christian foundation and introduces the team before welcoming Pastor Hill, who frames Independence Day not merely as a civic celebration but as a holiday connected to gratitude, biblical principles, and the opportunity to live out faith in public life. Lives, Fortunes, Sacred Honor, and the Cost of Independence Pastor Hill reflects on the Declaration of Independence, emphasizing the risk taken by the signers when they pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. He notes that many were willing to face death, loss of wealth, and public disgrace if the Revolution failed. He also discusses the timing of the Declaration's approval, announcement, and signing, noting that July 4 became the public date of celebration even though the approval and signing unfolded across multiple dates. For Hill, the willingness of the founders to risk everything reveals the seriousness of the moment and the spiritual weight he believes they attached to America's beginning. The Founders, Prayer, and Christian Influence A major theme of the episode is the team's argument that America's founding was deeply shaped by Christian thought, preaching, prayer, and biblical principles. Pastor Hill cites John Quincy Adams and John Adams to connect Independence Day with gratitude to God, while Ron Greer discusses Benjamin Franklin's call for prayer during the founding debates. The group also discusses early congressional prayer, Bible study, the influence of pastors, George Whitefield, the Black Robe Regiment, and the way sermons helped shape the language and principles behind the Declaration of Independence. The discussion presents the founding not as perfect, but as intentionally aimed toward Christian moral order. Slavery, Jefferson's Draft, and the Imperfect Union The conversation turns to slavery as one of the great contradictions and sins in American history. Pastor Hill discusses Thomas Jefferson's original draft of the Declaration of Independence, which included a strong grievance against the king over the slave trade, a section that did not survive into the final version. Dr. Craig Thayer and Ron Greer then discuss the economic and social complications surrounding slavery at the time, while stressing that context is not the same as justification. Ron also brings up Anthony Johnson and John Casor as examples of the complexity of colonial slavery history. Pastor Hill grounds the discussion in Proverbs 14:34, saying righteousness exalts a nation while sin brings reproach. History, Churches, and the Responsibility to Disciple The panel repeatedly argues that America's current cultural confusion is connected to historical ignorance and the church's failure to disciple effectively. Pastor Joe contrasts the American Revolution with the French Revolution, highlighting George Washington's refusal to become king as an example of servant leadership. Ron Greer says that Christians must return to the Great Commission, not merely sing, pray, or attend services, but actively make disciples. Pastor Hill adds that what happens in the home is more important than what happens in the White House, because discipleship, character, and cultural renewal begin with families, churches, and one person influencing another. Young Men, Revival, and Hope for the Next Generation The episode also looks at younger generations with a mixture of concern and hope. Melba reflects on parenting, children's ministry, prayer for children, and the pain of watching younger adults drift from biblical values. Pastor Hill responds that social media can distort reality and that there are signs of spiritual hunger among younger people. Dr. Craig and Ron discuss young men returning to church, conservative campus movements, Charlie Kirk events, Christian schools, classical academies, and the renewed interest among some youth in meaning, truth, and faith. The panel sees these signs as evidence that the future is not settled and that revival or awakening remains possible. Duty, Responsibility, and Results That Belong to God As the episode closes, Pastor Hill tells the story of John Quincy Adams continuing to fight slavery after serving as president, even when he did not live to see the cause fulfilled. He summarizes the lesson with the idea that duty and responsibility belong to the believer, while results belong to God. Ron urges listeners to study American history and recommit to making disciples. Dr. Craig reminds listeners to remember why America is free, and Dr. Paul emphasizes the responsibility to guard and share that freedom. Pastor Joe closes in prayer, thanking God for the sacrifice of America's founders and asking for boldness, righteousness, love, and purpose as the nation celebrates its birthday.

Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield, Melba Schofield, Stefanie Thayer, Dr. Craig Thayer, Dr. Paul Hall, and Ron Greer Fathers, Faith, and the Legacy of Love That Outlives Loss Guest, Will Cintron Friends, Will and his wife, Dr. Marianne Cintron, have been part of our Raising Expectations family for many years. Recently, God called Marianne home, and we all mourned, but also rejoiced in the fact that we will see her again. Will has continued to be a loving, godly father to his family and to us all. He walks with the Lord and gives strength to his family, showing God's complete faithfulness in all ways. Our Raising Expectations team will join with Will in discussion and uplifting conversation and joy about fathers in our lives…and being fathers! A Family Conversation Rooted in Faith and Fatherhood In this episode of Raising Expectations, hosts Pastor Joe Schofield and Melba Schofield, Stefanie Thayer and Dr. Craig Thayer, Dr. Paul Hall, and Ron Greer welcome returning guest Will Cintron for a warm, reflective conversation about Father's Day, family, grief, legacy, and the faithfulness of God. Pastor Joe opens by celebrating the show's sixth anniversary season, thanking BBS Radio TV, and reminding listeners that life's deepest questions are answered through Christ: where believers are going after death, and how they are called to live in the meantime. Remembering Mary Ann and Honoring Her in Yosemite The team welcomes Will with tenderness, acknowledging the recent passing of his wife, Dr. Mary Ann Cintron, who had been part of the Raising Expectations family. Will shares about taking his family to Yosemite, a place filled with memories for him and Mary Ann. He describes driving the RV for the first time, traveling with family members, hiking familiar trails, visiting Happy Isles, and honoring Mary Ann by leaving some of her ashes near the river. The moment becomes a picture of grief held together with gratitude, memory, beauty, and the hope of seeing loved ones again in God's presence. A Father's Love Shown Through Presence The conversation turns to Father's Day as Will reflects on his own father, who did not often say “I love you” or “I'm proud of you,” but showed affection through action. Will remembers his father taking time to hit baseballs to him and his brother, even though sports were not his strength, and recalls the handmade workbench his father built for him. These memories open a larger discussion about the many ways fathers communicate love, sometimes through words, sometimes through sacrifice, presence, work, tools, play, and the simple willingness to show up. The Blessing and Responsibility of Being a Dad Dr. Paul Hall, Melba Schofield, Ron Greer, and the rest of the team each add personal reflections on fathers, parenting, and the lifelong impact of being present for children. Paul recalls his father warming his cold hands while ice skating and later requesting “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” at his funeral. Melba remembers her father keeping his promise to take her and her brother to the rodeo despite dental pain, and how his encouragement helped her pursue education. Ron speaks passionately about fatherhood as a sacred title entrusted by God, emphasizing that fathers are called not only to provide, but to shape, teach, sharpen, and bless their children. The Father Wound and the Power of Redemption The team also discusses the pain caused when fathers are absent, emotionally unavailable, or unable to express love. Ron shares sobering statistics from prison ministry about the effects of father absence, including increased risks related to poverty, school failure, incarceration, and broken family patterns. Yet the conversation does not stay in despair. Ron explains how God changed his view of his own father, helping him see a man who may not have known how to express affection but never abandoned his family and worked tirelessly to provide. The group emphasizes that even deep father wounds can be healed, redeemed, and transformed through forgiveness, spiritual fathering, and God's grace. Faith, Memory, and the Joy Children Teach Their Parents The hosts reflect on how children remember affection, laughter, silliness, and shared moments more than perfect lessons or polished speeches. Pastor Joe talks about long conversations with his daughter, playful memories, and the importance of children knowing that their parents delight in them. Dr. Paul adds that parenting is not only about what adults teach children, but also what children teach adults. The group shares humorous family memories, including toilet-paper pranks, tools, guitars, and the everyday stories that become lifelong signs of love. These memories point to a larger truth: legacy is often carried through ordinary moments made sacred by affection. Seeking God, Listening, and Carrying Love Forward As the episode closes, Will encourages listeners to seek the Lord, stay in God's Word, get quiet, and listen for His voice. He recalls how Mary Ann modeled that daily devotion and attentiveness to God. Stefanie and Melba then pray over Will, honoring Mary Ann's legacy, asking God to strengthen Will, and thanking Him for the connections and love formed through the Raising Expectations family. Pastor Joe closes by reminding listeners that God speaks in many ways, sometimes directly and sometimes gently, but always with love, blessing, and the promise that He is near.

Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield, Melba Schofield Stefanie and Dr Craig Thayer, Dr Paul Hall, and Ron Greer Comedy, Courage, and the Cost of Discipleship in America Today Guest, Conservative Comedian: Brad Stine! Friends,, Tonight we have special guest, Brad Stine, God's Comic! Brad Stine pulls no punches as he takes on cancel culture, political correctness, and the upside-down logic of modern America.

This is more than a comedy show. It's a call to courage. It's truth wrapped in laughter. It's a reminder that freedom isn't free—and sometimes the most rebellious thing you can do is laugh. Laugh hard. Speak truth. And above all—laugh while it's still legal!  Don't Miss Brad Stine- God has a message just for you… Check out more of Brad Stine's work on his website: https://bradstine.com/ Don't forget to follow Brad Stine's Podcast: Brad Stine Has Issues on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/c/bradstinehasissues Faith, Family, and a Night of Bold Conversation In this episode of Raising Expectations, Pastor Joe Schofield opens the program by welcoming listeners and reminding them that the show is rooted in faith in Jesus Christ, the belief that Christ answers the deepest questions of life, and the desire to help people raise their expectations from “good to better to best together.” He introduces the full team: Melba Schofield, Stefanie Thayer, Dr. Craig Thayer, Dr. Paul Hall, and Ron Greer, each presented as part of a faith-centered family of believers committed to truth, grace, encouragement, and Christian witness. Introducing Brad Stine, “God's Comic” The guest for the hour is conservative comedian Brad Stine, described as a nationally known performer whose comedy takes on cancel culture, political correctness, free speech, identity, gender, COVID mandates, race, politics, and America's spiritual crisis. Pastor Joe notes that Brad has been called “God's Comic” and recalls meeting him personally in church settings where his humor and ministry made a strong impression. The show then plays an extended clip of Brad's stand-up, giving listeners a sense of his rapid-fire style, cultural commentary, sarcasm, and willingness to confront controversial subjects directly. Laughing at the Language of Cultural Confusion In the comedy clip, Brad takes on modern identity politics, pronouns, cancel culture, and the way language is used to redefine reality. He jokes about being a man “the old-fashioned way,” being Christian, being white, and being conservative, while arguing that people are often manipulated through changing definitions. He uses examples such as “super spreader,” “peaceful protest,” “insurrection,” “domestic terrorist,” and “safe for democracy” to make the point that whoever controls language can control public perception. His larger message is that people must learn to “laugh while it's legal” and call out what he sees as cultural absurdity. Conserving Common Sense Brad explains in the clip that being conservative does not necessarily mean being loyal to a political party. He says he wants to conserve the original intent of the Constitution, history, wisdom, and common sense. He criticizes elites and billionaires who, in his view, tell ordinary people how to live while promoting climate policies that he finds hypocritical or impractical. His jokes about cows, flatulence, windmills, fossil fuels, and miniature cow-powered turbines use absurdity to make a broader point about energy, environmental policy, and what he sees as the loss of practical reasoning. From Stand-Up Comedy to Ministry After the clip, Brad joins the conversation and explains how he began as a stand-up comic in nightclubs while maintaining his Christian convictions. He says he avoided profanity and sexual material because he wanted to compete at the highest level without compromising his faith. Over time, he felt drawn beyond entertainment into ministry. Comedy, he says, became the “flavor” or delivery system for a deeper message about culture, freedom, faith, discipleship, and America's need to remember what made it free and spiritually grounded. A Missionary to America Brad describes himself as a “missionary to America.” He says he loves the country without worshiping it, believes America is historically significant and uniquely free, and feels responsible for defending both religious liberty and the Christian foundations that shaped the nation. He argues that cultural Marxism, progressive ideology, secular religion, and spiritual deception are working to weaken the West from within. For Brad, comedy is not merely entertainment; it is a way to confront what he sees as lies, hypocrisy, and spiritual compromise. Christianity Versus Discipleship One of the strongest themes of the conversation is Brad's distinction between being a “Christian” in name and being a true disciple. He says many American churchgoers treat Christianity as a label rather than a costly calling. Salvation, he explains, is free because of Christ's work, but discipleship costs everything. Brad argues that believers in America often have not had to suffer for their faith in the way believers do in places such as Nigeria, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, Myanmar, India, North Korea, China, and other countries where persecution is real and visible. The Cost of Truth The team discusses suffering, boldness, and the willingness to speak truth even when it causes offense. Brad says truth is supposed to offend when it exposes what is false, because conviction is meant to lead people toward repentance and freedom. Dr. Paul Hall connects this to Scripture, especially the idea that Christ's suffering was central to salvation and that believers should not be surprised when following Christ also involves suffering. Brad and the hosts agree that American churches often avoid this message because it is uncomfortable, but they see it as essential to authentic faith. Comedy as a Gift Given Back to God Dr. Craig Thayer comments on Brad's ability to take cultural untruths and expose them through humor. Brad responds by reflecting on the meaning of a spiritual gift. A gift, he says, is not something a person earned or created; it is something given. Because of that, no one should brag about it or treat it as a personal trophy. The only faithful response is to give the gift back to God so it can be used for His purposes. Brad says his comedy, communication style, and boldness are not superior to anyone else's gifts, but they are the specific tools God entrusted to him. Inspiring Others to Speak Brad says people often thank him for being brave or for saying what they were thinking but were afraid to say. While he appreciates that encouragement, he also tells listeners that inspiration should lead to action. If his boldness inspires someone, then that person should “go forth and do likewise” in the territory God has assigned them. He stresses that every believer has a “Nineveh,” a specific area of responsibility where they are called to speak, serve, and obey. The Church as a Place of Refreshing and Sending Brad also challenges the idea that church is mainly where nonbelievers should be brought to get saved. He says the church is where believers should be strengthened, refreshed, and equipped so they can go into the marketplace and share the gospel. This leads to a broader critique of what he sees as shallow American Christianity, where church attendance can replace actual discipleship, courage, and public witness. For Brad, the church must train believers to carry truth into the world, not merely gather comfortably inside church walls. Speaking Truth With Love and Boldness Stefanie Thayer shares a recent personal experience about having a difficult conversation with someone who was unchurched and surprisingly open to spiritual truth. She reflects that people outside the church may sometimes be more receptive than those shaped by denominational comfort or religious assumptions. Brad agrees that love without truth is not truly love. The conversation emphasizes that Christians are called to speak boldly, but with purpose, conviction, and obedience, not with cruelty or arrogance. Dangerous Times and a Willingness to Keep Going Brad acknowledges that his kind of comedy and ministry can come with real risk. He speaks about opposition, threats, and the possibility that the cultural climate may become more hostile toward Christians and conservatives. Still, he says he intends to keep speaking. The hosts respond by affirming their prayers for Brad, his family, and his ministry. Brad says he has seen growing interest from churches, conservative groups, GOP events, and ministries that now recognize the importance of the warnings he has been giving for decades. Closing With Prayer, Gratitude, and Raised Expectations The episode closes with Pastor Joe thanking Brad for his time, courage, and ministry. Brad directs listeners to BradStine.com, mentions his podcast Brad Stine Has Issues, and says he is available for comedy events, church services, men's events, apologetics, marriage conferences, and other ministry settings. Pastor Joe and the team promise to keep him in prayer and close the program by reminding listeners to keep raising expectations in their homes, hearts, faith, families, and future.

The Cost of Truth The team discusses suffering, boldness, and the willingness to speak truth even when it causes offense. Brad says truth is supposed to offend when it exposes what is false, because conviction is meant to lead people toward repentance and freedom. Dr. Paul Hall connects this to Scripture, especially the idea that Christ's suffering was central to salvation and that believers should not be surprised when following Christ also involves suffering. Brad and the hosts agree that American churches often avoid this message because it is uncomfortable, but they see it as essential to authentic faith. Comedy as a Gift Given Back to God Dr. Craig Thayer comments on Brad's ability to take cultural untruths and expose them through humor. Brad responds by reflecting on the meaning of a spiritual gift. A gift, he says, is not something a person earned or created; it is something given. Because of that, no one should brag about it or treat it as a personal trophy. The only faithful response is to give the gift back to God so it can be used for His purposes. Brad says his comedy, communication style, and boldness are not superior to anyone else's gifts, but they are the specific tools God entrusted to him. Inspiring Others to Speak Brad says people often thank him for being brave or for saying what they were thinking but were afraid to say. While he appreciates that encouragement, he also tells listeners that inspiration should lead to action. If his boldness inspires someone, then that person should “go forth and do likewise” in the territory God has assigned them. He stresses that every believer has a “Nineveh,” a specific area of responsibility where they are called to speak, serve, and obey. The Church as a Place of Refreshing and Sending Brad also challenges the idea that church is mainly where nonbelievers should be brought to get saved. He says the church is where believers should be strengthened, refreshed, and equipped so they can go into the marketplace and share the gospel. This leads to a broader critique of what he sees as shallow American Christianity, where church attendance can replace actual discipleship, courage, and public witness. For Brad, the church must train believers to carry truth into the world, not merely gather comfortably inside church walls. Speaking Truth With Love and Boldness Stefanie Thayer shares a recent personal experience about having a difficult conversation with someone who was unchurched and surprisingly open to spiritual truth. She reflects that people outside the church may sometimes be more receptive than those shaped by denominational comfort or religious assumptions. Brad agrees that love without truth is not truly love. The conversation emphasizes that Christians are called to speak boldly, but with purpose, conviction, and obedience, not with cruelty or arrogance. Dangerous Times and a Willingness to Keep Going Brad acknowledges that his kind of comedy and ministry can come with real risk. He speaks about opposition, threats, and the possibility that the cultural climate may become more hostile toward Christians and conservatives. Still, he says he intends to keep speaking. The hosts respond by affirming their prayers for Brad, his family, and his ministry. Brad says he has seen growing interest from churches, conservative groups, GOP events, and ministries that now recognize the importance of the warnings he has been giving for decades. Closing With Prayer, Gratitude, and Raised Expectations The episode closes with Pastor Joe thanking Brad for his time, courage, and ministry. Brad directs listeners to BradStine.com, mentions his podcast Brad Stine Has Issues, and says he is available for comedy events, church services, men's events, apologetics, marriage conferences, and other ministry settings. Pastor Joe and the team promise to keep him in prayer and close the program by reminding listeners to keep raising expectations in their homes, hearts, faith, families, and future.

Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield, Stefanie and Dr Craig Thayer, Dr Paul Hall, and Ron Greer Fatherhood, Identity, and the Healing Power of Godly Mentorship Guest Teri Werner, Author of Train Wreck to Triumph Friends, Join us for a heartfelt discussion with Teri Werner, 'Raising Expectations' family member, as she shares her expertise in helping people overcome trauma and life's challenges, offering a message of hope and transformation. Special insights on what a Father is and means to us all! Teri, a renowned coach, author, and speaker, will inspire and uplift us with her gift of encouragement, alongside her husband Dave, a special witness for Jesus Christ. Pastor Joe Schofield Opens Raising Expectations In this episode of Raising Expectations, host Pastor Joe Schofield welcomes listeners and introduces the program's faith-centered mission of raising expectations through Christ, family, freedom, finances, and encouragement. He notes that Stefanie Thayer and Dr. Craig Thayer are not present for this episode, while Dr. Paul Hall, Ron Greer, and Melba Schofield join the conversation. Pastor Joe also welcomes returning guest Teri Werner, describing her as part of the Raising Expectations family and highlighting her work as a transformative coach and author of Train Wreck to Triumph. Teri Werner Reflects on Father's Day and God's Loving Kindness Teri opens the main discussion by reflecting on the approaching Father's Day season and the spiritual importance of fatherhood. She shares how deeply her own father shaped her understanding of God's loving kindness, describing the biblical idea of loving kindness as covenant loyalty, mercy, forgiveness, grace, unconditional love, and steadfast affection. Teri explains that many women told her that getting to know her father helped them better understand the Heavenly Father, because he gave them a visible example of godly love, strength, and care. Fathers, Daughters, and the Formation of Identity A central theme of the episode is the powerful influence fathers have on daughters. Teri says daughters often see themselves, the world, and future relationships through the lens their fathers give them. If a father shows love, respect, attention, and honor, a daughter is more likely to expect those things from others. If he withholds them, she may become comfortable with neglect, disrespect, or emotional distance. Teri also discusses how girls who do not know their importance to their father by adolescence may later search for validation through overachievement, overproduction, or unhealthy relationships. Ron Greer on Fatherlessness and Social Breakdown Ron Greer responds by drawing on his years of ministry and research, including work with prison ministry and men's discipleship. He says the absence of a biological father in the home is strongly connected to many social problems, including incarceration, gang involvement, school dropout rates, suicide risk, sexual assault, and cycles of family breakdown. Ron emphasizes that the damage of fatherlessness can continue across generations, affecting children, grandchildren, marriages, and spiritual identity. He argues that nothing is more important than a biological or godly father figure who reflects the character of the Heavenly Father. The Struggle to Understand God as Father The group also discusses how painful father experiences can make it difficult for people to understand God as a loving Father. Ron explains that when he trained people for prison ministry, he warned them to be careful using phrases like “loving Father,” because many inmates had no positive concept of fatherhood. To them, “father” could mean abandonment, hurt, harsh discipline, or distrust. Teri adds that hopelessness can enter when a person cannot trust an earthly father and then struggles to trust God. The conversation frames healing as a process of separating God's true character from wounded earthly examples. Gender Identity, Masculinity, and the Family Dr. Paul Hall raises the question of gender identity and how it may connect to father absence, family confusion, and cultural instability. Ron responds that many identity struggles are tied to the lack of strong father figures and the destruction of biblical masculinity. He argues that Satan's attack on manhood, marriage, and family begins in Genesis and continues today. The discussion also touches on feminism, the cultural shifts of the 1970s, abortion, the Ahab and Jezebel spirits, and the ways both men and women can abandon or distort their God-given roles. Teri stresses that these issues are not simply about blaming one gender, but about recognizing spiritual patterns that damage families. Mentorship, Spiritual Fathers, and Restoring Young Men and Women The conversation then turns toward solutions. Ron describes resources from Man in the Mirror, including tools for spiritual fathers, mentoring, and discipleship, designed to help older men pour wisdom into younger men. He says men do not need to be trained theologians to mentor; they simply need life experience, scars, humility, and willingness to be transparent. Teri asks how similar mentoring could be created for women, suggesting that women also need trusted guides who can help them grow in identity, faith, and emotional health. The group agrees that mentoring must be built on trust, transparency, and real engagement rather than lectures or shallow church activity. Churches, Leadership, and the Need for Relevance The hosts and guest also discuss the need for churches and denominations to become more engaged with real-life struggles rather than relying on old formats, dark stages, loud worship, institutional meetings, or surface-level programming. Teri argues that leadership is a skill requiring intentional study, engagement, and the ability to connect with people where they are. Ron adds that many pastors themselves grew up in an era affected by fatherlessness and may not have been trained in biblical manhood or discipleship. The group says churches need to return to making disciples, not merely drawing people into buildings, and must provide meaningful guidance for young men and women searching for significance. Transparency, Brokenness, and the Cross Near the end, Dr. Paul Hall points to brokenness and the necessity of the cross, saying people must understand that they were bought with a price and fiercely loved by Christ. Teri adds that real connection comes through emotional intimacy, trust, and transparency. She says people are changed when leaders are willing to be honest, vulnerable, and Christlike, not when they simply perform or try to be popular. Pastor Joe closes by emphasizing that painful experiences can become sources of strength, peace, and purpose when brought under Christ's healing. He thanks Teri, Ron, Paul, and Melba, previews next week's guest Brad Stine, and encourages listeners to lift their expectations to the Lord and trust Him for a cure rather than a temporary bandage.
