Podcast appearances and mentions of Phil Wickham

Jordan Rubin joins Justin Roethlingshoefer on The OWN IT Show for a powerful faith and health conversation on biblical nutrition, healing, and what the Bible actually says about food — including the foods, herbs, and lifestyle habits Scripture points to for healing, longevity, and living the way God designed.This is a biblical process for healing that actually works — not another passing diet trend. Jordan's story is extraordinary: a healthy teenager diagnosed with Crohn's colitis at 19, who dropped to 104 pounds and spent two years in a wheelchair fighting for his life. Years later, after building a health and wellness career, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given 90 days to live. Both times, he was healed — not through conventional treatment alone, but through faith, obedience, and a return to the health principles found in the Bible.This episode reframes health as worship and stewardship, not performance or trend-chasing. As the wellness world grows louder and more divided — carnivore, vegan, paleo, keto — all competing for "the truth," Justin and Jordan return to the blueprint that's been available the whole time.

Belah Rose joins Justin Roethlingshoefer on The OWN IT Show for a powerful Christian marriage conversation on what makes a good marriage, how to build a healthy Christian marriage, how to restore intimacy in marriage, and how husbands and wives can rebuild trust, connection, communication, forgiveness, and emotional closeness.If you are married, in a struggling marriage, trying to improve your marriage relationship, wondering how to save your marriage, or asking what the role of husband and wife in marriage should look like God's way, this episode gives practical tools and biblical perspective for healing, ownership, and reconnection.In a world where many couples feel distant, disconnected, resentful, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in cycles of blame, Justin and Belah call out what most married people miss: a healthy marriage relationship is not built by waiting for your spouse to change. It begins when one person asks, “What can I own?”This episode reframes Christian marriage as stewardship. Your marriage affects your peace, emotional health, spiritual health, family, habits, calling, and ability to live with freedom.Inside this conversation, Justin and Belah break down:

Stefanie Billette joins Justin Roethlingshoefer on The OWN IT Show for a powerful women's health conversation on perimenopause, hormone changes, hot flashes, weight gain, low energy, thyroid health, sleep, nutrition, strength training, and why women need a better strategy for this transition.Perimenopause can feel like your body is working against you. Energy drops, sleep changes, hot flashes start, weight gain shows up, and workouts stop working the way they used to. But this does not mean your body is broken.This episode reframes perimenopause as something women can understand, support, and thrive through. Stefanie breaks down what's happening in the body and how nutrition, sleep, fasting windows, fermented foods, strength training, thyroid support, cortisol regulation, and metabolic health all play a role.This conversation is not about fear. It's about ownership

Danielle Strickland joins Justin Roethlingshoefer on The OWN IT Show for a Holy Health conversation on embodied faith, the relationship between Christian faith and physical health, and why so many believers have been taught to silence, punish, or disconnect from their bodies—instead of seeing them as a good gift designed to carry their calling.In a world that turns discipline, intensity, and physical performance into the goal, Danielle shares the moment she realized she had never intentionally loved her body. What began as a simple breath prayer exposed a relationship built on shame, control, and pushing through pain—and invited her into a completely different way of living.This episode reframes the true metric of Christian health: it's not appearance, intensity, or perfect discipline—it's stewardship + connection ✝️… learning to care for your body without worshiping it and integrate your physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual health

Pastor Levi Lusko joins Justin Roethlingshoefer on The OWN IT Show for a Holy Health conversation on health as worship (not performance), why the Church keeps falling into two extremes (neglect vs idolatry), and how “holy health” is ultimately surrendered health —built to carry your calling.In a world that turns “discipline” into the goal, Justin and Levi call out what most people don't see: you can quote Scripture, lead well, and still quietly run your body into the ground—until your peace, patience, and relationships begin to erode.This episode reframes the true metric of Holy Health: it's not your image, your biohacks, or your numbers—it's stewardship + obedience… because that's what builds long-term capacity.They also unpack:

It's Thursday, June 11th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nigerian court sentences Muslims to death for executing Catholics Last week, a court in the African nation of Nigeria sentenced four Muslim men to death for killing dozens of Catholics. Four years ago, the gunmen attacked a Pentecost Sunday service at a Catholic Church in southwest Nigeria. They killed 41 people, including children. Authorities determined that the armed men belonged to Al-Shabaab, an Islamic terrorist group. The massacre was the first terrorist attack on a church in southern Nigeria.   According to Open Doors, Nigeria is the seventh most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Proverbs 7:14 and 16 says, “Behold, the wicked man conceives evil . . . His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own skull his violence descends.” Sudanese man arrested in Ireland for attempted beheading Authorities in Northern Ireland arrested a migrant from the African nation of Sudan on Tuesday. Police in Belfast accused him of carrying out a severe knife attack on a man in his 40s. People across the United Kingdom responded to the attempted beheading with protests. The victim was hospitalized with significant injuries to his face, neck, and back. Many U.K. citizens question their government's immigration policies, including Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe. In February, the lawmaker launched a national political party called Restore Britain. The party is devoted to ending mass immigration and also openly recognizes Britain's Christian heritage.  Congress funds $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol In the United States, President Donald Trump signed the Secure America Act yesterday. The $70 billion package fully funds the Department of Homeland Security. The bill specifically covers U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the rest of President Trump's second term.  Listen to comments from House Speaker Mike Johnson after Congress passed the bill. JOHNSON: “The historic mandate that put President Trump in the White House and Republican majorities in both the House and the Senate is evidence of the fact that Democrats' ‘Defund the Police' agenda is wildly out of step with hardworking American families. After four long years of Democrat policies that opened the door to dangerous criminals and deadly drugs, Republicans are delivering on our promise to restore safe streets and secure our borders.” Inflation rose 4.3% Inflation reached a three-year high last month for American consumers.  The cost of goods and services rose 4.2 percent in May compared to a year ago. Rising energy costs drove the inflation. Gasoline prices were up 40 percent from a year earlier.    iPhone launch connected to lower U.S. fertility rate A new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research suggests that the launch of the iPhone contributed to declining fertility rates in the U.S. Apple introduced the iPhone in 2007. The U.S. general fertility rate has fallen by 22 percent since then. People have been spending more time on their smartphones and less time with each other.  The study noted, “Overall, the diffusion of the iPhone explains 33–52% of the decline in the general fertility rate among women aged 15–44.” Southern Baptists: Only men can serve as pastors The Southern Baptist Convention affirmed its position yesterday that only men can serve as pastors. Over 70 percent of the denomination's representatives voted in favor of the “Truth and Unity Amendment.” The measure was sponsored by Albert Mohler Jr., the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. The amendment would require churches in the denomination to not appoint women as pastors, elders, or overseers.  Listen to comments from Dr. Mohler. MOHLER: “This motion makes very clear that we affirm the historic Baptist understanding of the pastor, elder, overseer. The structure of the language I have brought goes all the way back to the 1689 Baptist Confession, where the office and function of the pastor are clearly delineated. “This amendment makes very clear that a church, in friendly cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention, doesn't have anyone other than a man as pastor in the office of pastor and specifies on the functions of the pastor that the key central function of preaching the Word of God to the gathered assembly is limited to men by Scripture.” 1 Timothy 3:1-2 says, “If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore, an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach.”  Animated movie “David” claims #1 spot on Netflix And finally, the animated film David reached the number one spot on Netflix for movies in the United States over the weekend.  The Bible movie from Angel Studios officially premiered on the streaming service just last Wednesday. (audio from David movie trailer) DAVID: “I'm just a shepherd, but deep down I know I can take on the world.” NARRATOR: “There is a darkness over the land.” SAMUEL:  “Our enemies will strike once more.” MAN: “Imagine the biggest warrior you have ever seen!” DAVID: “Okay.” MAN: “Now imagine somebody ate him.” GIRL: “Remember when I told you God had big plans for you?” GOLIATH: “You will serve us!” GIRL: “They may have been bigger than even I thought.” Christian music artist Phil Wickham voiced the adult David in the movie. Wickham told Crosswalk Headlines the film is “full of the story of God and full of Psalms and full of hallelujah and faith and hope.  … I think this movie will last decades. I think it will be something our grandkids watch.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, June 11th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Biohacking and longevity are everywhere—CGMs, peptides, cold plunges, sauna protocols, and expensive testing—all chasing the same outcome: live longer and function better.But here's what most people miss: the strongest longevity principles aren't new. They're ancient. They're biblical. And modern science keeps “discovering” what God already designed. In this episode of The OWN IT Show, Justin breaks down 5 biblical habits for longevity—and the science behind why they work—through one core lens: health is worship, not performance.You'll learn:✅ Sabbath (Recovery): why your body needs a real stop—and why God called it holy ✅ Fasting (Cellular repair): what autophagy is, and why fasting is formation—not a flex ✅ Community (Belonging): why covenant community builds resilience (and why “networking” isn't the same)✅ Movement (Strength + stamina): why discipline is stewardship for the long haul ✅ Food (Whole ingredients): why “grandma food” still wins—simple, recognizable, minimally processedThe deeper point: longevity without purpose becomes “optimization without telos”—better numbers, but an unchanged life.If this hit you, share it with someone chasing health—but missing the why. And remember: we were given the right answers for free… so take care of the temple. ============================================================================Our Sponsor:The Rise of the Health Haven Documentary — Watch the full story of how Justin and Alyse transformed their backyard into a purpose-built wellness sanctuary.

What happens when a worship leader finally stops hiding? That is the question underneath everything Jordan Colle shares in this conversation. He is a worship leader and songwriter with Bethel Music, currently touring with Phil Wickham and carrying a multigenerational ministry legacy that started long before anyone knew his name. But the most honest moment in this episode is not about the tour or the songs. It is about what shifted when he finally laid everything at the feet of Jesus and stopped pretending some of it was not there. In this episode you will hear how growing up in a ministry family shaped his view of worship from the very beginning, what a moment in South Florida at a worship school confirmed about his calling through Isaiah 61, what it was like returning to his home church as a 20-year-old leading a team of people twice his age, what four years writing alongside Brandon Lake taught him about finding his voice, and how he has learned to hold calling in one hand and surrender in the other without crushing either one. This is a conversation for worship leaders who want to lead from a deeper place. Not just a more polished one.   Worship Online is your new secret weapon for preparing each week.

I'm not a Lead Pastor, but I can't imagine anything more difficult than pastoring in today's political climate. We feel that these days are unique, but in reality they are not. History has much to teach us. Occasionally I like to bring Lead Pastors onto the podcast to talk about how they're navigating cultural issues. My guest today is Evan Wickham. Evan is the older brother of Phil Wickham, also a worship leader and songwriter, and the pastor of Park Hill Church in San Diego, California. Here's what's interesting: In his very church, he has a Christian Border Patrol Agent and Immigrant families, both trying to make sense of the times in which we live. Evan's perspective on how to pastor faithfully is enlightening. What does faithful pastoring look like? How do partisan politics compromise the gospel? Should our Sunday services address the latest issues in the news or should we just stick to the gospel? Is it possible to pastor from the political center? We can't escape politics, no matter how much we would like to try. Politics effect how we live together. The Bible is a political book. Conversations like this rarely make anyone happy but faithful leaders need to step into the tension. Don't miss the end of the conversation where we talk about worship, songwriting, and the presence of God in our churches. Evan's challenge were beautiful and surprising. Topics Covered: Deconstruction and staying in the Church Why Baby Boomer pastors are not known for letting go 3 signs that you are a healthy pastor The Matt Walsh vs Evan Wickham social media beef How to think about what President Trump is saying and doing How to Pastor both right and left leaning people in your congregation What the presence of God actually means Whether we should pursue revival or not Resources Mentioned: Show Sponsor: Planning Center Christ the King of Love by Evan Wickham Evan Wickham Substack Show Sponsor: Planning Center This episode is brought to you by Planning Center, helping you sync all your ministry details across your whole church. Planning Center has become so essential to how I manage a team, that it's almost impossible to consider local church ministry without it anymore. Today, I want to leave you with a PCO pro-tip. Does this sound like a familiar situation? It's the end of the week. You're about to leave the office when you suddenly think: Did all of our volunteers confirm for Sunday? You scroll through the schedule and sure enough—there's a gap. Instead of allowing yourself to spiral into a panic, try this: In Services, Planning Center has gap alerts. Turn them on, and you'll get a heads-up days before service if positions are still unfilled or unconfirmed. No more end of the week scrambling. Speaking of less scrambling, did you know you can access everything you need for rehearsals right from the Service media player on your phone? Lyrics, chord charts, arrangement notes—it's all right there, so you're not hunting for files in the middle of hitting those power chords.

Send a textRounding out this latest installment of "Stuff That's Been On My Mind," we take a look at a topic that has been brewing over recent years.  The modern worship industry has become a multi-million dollar business, generating massive revenue streams for various churches, pastors, and artists.  But behind the curtain of this ministry, are there issues within any of these churches or with the worship itself?  Is it time for new voices to rise, is it time for a reset in who/what sets the tone for worship in many of our churches?  This podcast answers to the affirmative:  that yes worship does need a reset; a renewal of sorts.  Songs have gotten overwhelmingly me-focused, theological truth has gotten watered down, and most of our songs come from a small, but centralized group of writers and churches.  This episode invites you to enter this discussion with an open mind and leave well-informed with some action steps to take.  Articles mentioned in the episode:The Centralization Of Modern Worship Music: Why A Few Voices Dominating Worship Is A DangerOpinion: Church Music Has Become Big Business

Send us a textAct One Podcast - Episode 48 - Interview with Directors Phil Cunningham and Brent Dawes of the new film, DAVID.From the songs of his mother's heart to the whispers of a faithful God, David's story begins in quiet devotion. When the giant Goliath rises to terrorize a nation, a young shepherd armed with only a sling, a few stones, and unshakable faith steps forward. Pursued by power and driven by purpose, his journey tests the limits of loyalty, love, and courage—culminating in a battle not just for a crown, but for the soul of a kingdom. Released by Angel Studios, DAVID is in theaters everywhere beginning December 19th, 2025.Phil Cunningham's passion for storytelling was ignited and fueled as a young boy growing up in the wild frontier of Zimbabwe, where day-to-day life was often interspersed with larger-than-life characters and fantastic stories. Phil was struck by the incredible power of stories to impact society and in particular the power of animation to cross race, culture, age and gender barriers better than any other medium. Over the last 25 years, Phil together with Jacqui, has built Sunrise Animation Studios in Cape Town, South Africa. The studio's mission statement is “Inspire Through Story".Brent Dawes has spent over two decades as the Creative Lead at Sunrise Animation Studios, where (among many other projects) he created the Jungle Beat series and directed Jungle Beat: The Movie, which Netflix acquired in 2021, where it ranked in the Top 10 movies across all genres in its first 3 weeks. Dawes is the writer and co director of the Young David Shorts and the David animated feature film.Sunrise Animation Studios is a full-service animation studio based in Cape Town, South Africa.

“The church is a multiethnic and multicultural assembly of believers spanning history that God has called into fellowship with Christ and with one another. We gather regularly to consider the teachings of the Bible and to orient our lives around God's coming kingdom. Together we wait for God to make all things new, and we bear witness to the world of what God has already done.” - Becoming God's FamilyWhat is the purpose of the church? If you talked with different people you'd likely get different answers. You might hear that it's a place to worship God. You might hear that it's just a place people go to feel better about their lives. There's a broader conversation happening about whether or not the church still matters. Even amongst Christians, there's a question over why they need to go to church when they can just believe in Jesus and read the Bible on their own. Today's episode is all about the church and the importance of with-ness. My guest today is Dr. Carmen Joy Imes, associate professor of Old Testament at Biola University and author of the new book Becoming God's Family: Why the Church Still Matters. In this conversation we talk about her trilogy of books about our relationship with and to God (of which this is the third), we talk about why there's even a question around whether the church matters or not, we talk about the role and function of the church, and the truth of how church gatherings are really oriented around what we cannot do on our own. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

Americans can’t deny it—there's been a major cultural shift since the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, inspiring countless individuals to seek Jesus Christ and live more boldly for Him. At Charlie’s memorial service, what could have been a somber occasion became a powerful revival, feeling more like a Harvest Crusade than a funeral! Prominent voices like Vice President JD Vance and Tucker Carlson unapologetically spoke out in faith, while worship leaders like Chris Tomlin and Phil Wickham filled the stadium with worship. The most unforgettable moment came when Erika Kirk offered a stunning act of forgiveness toward her husband’s murderer. Is America finally experiencing a spiritual awaking? Pastor Greg Laurie believes so and urges Christians not to let this moment in time slip by. -- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

Jimmy Kimmel's commentary surrounding the assassination of Charlie Kirk was disturbing and inaccurate, but quite frankly not surprising. What was a surprise, however, was the outpouring of love and honor that many A list celebrities and social media influencers have shown in the days following Kirk's death on Sept. 10.     “I disagreed with him on almost every point I ever heard him say, but I believe he was a man of faith,” actress Jamie Lee Curtis said of Kirk on the “WTF” podcast while choking back tears. “And I hope in that moment when he died that he felt connected to his faith.”    Actor Chris Pratt shared a video prayer and then encouraged his followers to stop scrolling and instead get outside or call a friend. Singer Justin Bieber wrote about a spiritual battle for the mind in a post on Instagram after Kirk passed.     Jeffree Star, social media influencer and creator of Jeffree Star Cosmetics was streaming live on social media when he found out Kirk had been shot. Immediately he condemned the shooting and spoke out in support of free speech. When Star received criticism from some of his followers for condemning the assassination, he was quick to respond.     “Because I'm standing up for someone that passed away, I'm now being called names in the chat. This is what's wrong with a lot of you people. You will never get far in life. You are sick in the head,” Star shot back.     Some who have spoken out in celebration of Kirk's death, or made highly controversial comments over the tragedy, have lost their jobs as a result.     Charlie Rock, Carolina Panthers NFL communications staffer, lost his job for a social media post he made after Kirk's death.   “Why are y'all sad? Your man said it was worth it,” Rock said.     American Airlines fired a pilot who reportedly wrote on social media: “Well hey Charlie. Sorry you got shot in your fat f—— forehead. It was just the cost of our liberty. ‘Thoughts and prayers.'”    And now, most notably, ABC suspended Kimmel's late-night show after the comedian made light of Kirk's assassination and inaccurately joked that the shooter was “MAGA.”    “The MAGA gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said.    Unlike Kimmel, the vast majority of Americans, including many celebrities, recognize that Kirk's assassination was evil and a dark moment in American history.    This Sunday, tens of thousands of Americans will gather at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., for Kirk's memorial service and thousands more are expected to stream the ceremony live on Kirk's Rumble. Speakers at the memorial include President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, will also speak and Christian worship artists Chris Tomlin, Brandon Lake, Phil Wickham, Kari Jobe Carnes, and Cody Carnes will perform.   Enjoy the show!  Keep Up With The Daily Signal   Sign up for our email newsletters:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.dailysignal.com/email⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠     Subscribe to our other shows:    The Tony Kinnett Cast: ⁠https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL2284199939⁠ The Signal Sitdown: ⁠https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL2026390376⁠   Problematic Women:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL7765680741⁠   Victor Davis Hanson: ⁠https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL9809784327⁠     Follow The Daily Signal:    X:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=DailySignal⁠ Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/thedailysignal/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/TheDailySignalNews/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Truth Social:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://truthsocial.com/@DailySignal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=1⁠    Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform and never miss an episode.

It was just the cost of our liberty. ‘Thoughts and prayers.'”    And now, most notably, ABC suspended Kimmel's late-night show after the comedian made light of Kirk's assassination and inaccurately joked that the shooter was “MAGA.”    “The MAGA gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said.    Unlike Kimmel, the vast majority of Americans, including many celebrities, recognize that Kirk's assassination was evil and a dark moment in American history.    This Sunday, tens of thousands of Americans will gather at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., for Kirk's memorial service and thousands more are expected to stream the ceremony live on Kirk's Rumble. Speakers at the memorial include President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, will also speak and Christian worship artists Chris Tomlin, Brandon Lake, Phil Wickham, Kari Jobe Carnes, and Cody Carnes will perform.     On this week's edition of “Problematic Women,” we discuss the celebrity response to Kirk's death and what our responsibility is now to carry Kirk's legacy forward.     Enjoy the show!  Follow us on Instagram for EXCLUSIVE bonus content and the chance to be featured in our episodes: https://www.instagram.com/problematicwomen/   Connect with our hosts on socials!   Elise McCue X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=EliseMcCue Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisemccueofficial/   Virginia Allen: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=Virginia_Allen5 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/virginiaallenofficial/   Crystal Bonham: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=crystalkatetx   Check out Top News in 10, hosted by The Daily Signal's Tony Kinnett: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjMHBev3NsoUpc2Pzfk0n89cXWBqQltHY Learn more about your ad choices.
