Fan Mail Friday: When to Push Through and When to Change Course Oct 09, 2026

Show notes

Should you ditch the curriculum that’s making everyone miserable—or stick it out? How do you handle a teenage boy’s attitude without losing your relationship? And what if your graduate wants trade school instead of college? Today, I’m answering your questions about homeschooling, dating, aging parents, and standing for truth at work. Let’s talk about setting biblical boundaries, knowing when to make a change, and remembering what we’re really doing: raising adults who love and walk with the Lord.

The Road to November: Has the Church Traded Courage for Tax Exemption? with Troy Miller Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

Pastors answer to God, so why are we letting the government dictate what they can say? NRB President Troy Miller joins me to discuss the fight against the Johnson Amendment and the effort to restore pastors’ freedom to speak about political candidates. We’re talking about religious liberty, the cost of staying silent, and why shepherds must have the courage to speak biblical truth—even when it’s unpopular.

Who’s Teaching Your Kids to Hate America? with Tim Barton Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

What happens when a generation is taught to hate the very country that gave them freedom? Tim Barton from WallBuilders joins me to talk about the rewriting of America’s history, the battle for our kids’ minds, and why Christians cannot afford to sit out the midterms. We’re talking biblical discernment, policies over personalities, and why America’s future is still worth fighting for.

Tuesday in Ten: God’s Word Isn’t Up for a Vote Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

God has already spoken about life, marriage, and who we are—and His Word isn’t up for a vote. Today, I’m talking about abortion ballot measures, religious liberty, and why the judges we elect matter. When political platforms start answering questions only God gets to settle, the church needs to speak up. We cannot afford to be apathetic. It’s time to know God’s Word, stand firmly on it, and put our faith into action.

You Can’t Rewrite Reality with Frank Turek Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

There’s no such thing as “my truth” and “your truth.” There’s just the truth—and denying it comes at a cost. My friend Frank Turek joins me to talk about his new book, The War on Reality, the lies shaping our culture, and why Christians need discernment and backbone. From the accusations against Erika Kirk to gender ideology and the upcoming midterms, we’re talking about how to recognize deception, teach our kids to think, and stand firmly on God’s Word.

Fan Mail Friday: What Does God Actually Require? Oct 02, 2026

Show notes

How do we sort out what God actually commands from fear, guilt, and everyone else’s opinions? Today I’m answering your questions about women teaching in the church, teens and social media, health decisions, and honoring your husband when you disagree. We’re also talking about raising kids who love Jesus when you’re new to the faith yourself. Let’s open God’s Word and talk about walking faithfully right where He has you.

The Road to November: More Is at Stake Than Gas Prices Oct 01, 2026

Show notes

You may not like everything happening in Washington, but staying home this November has consequences. Today, I’m connecting the dots between parental rights, radical ideology, rising costs, and judges who can overturn what voters approved. These decisions affect your family—and they reach far beyond the White House. Your faith should speak, including through your vote. It’s time to get off the bench.

Tuesday In Ten: When Did We Start Calling This Compassion? Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

A two-year-old child in the Netherlands was euthanized, and the decision was described as careful and compassionate. But when someone is suffering, what does compassion actually require of us? Today on Tuesday in Ten, I’m talking about the value of every human life, the care we owe those who suffer, and our duty to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.

What’s Really Happening in Iran? with Dr. Hormoz Shariat Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

Most of what we hear about Iran is about its government. But Dr. Hormoz Shariat says there’s another story we need to hear: Iranians coming to Christ and believers sharing the gospel at great personal cost. We talk about his own journey from Islam to Jesus, the courage of Christians facing imprisonment, and his warning to the American church about Islam here at home. This conversation is a call to be watchful, to love our Muslim neighbors enough to share the gospel, and to pray for our brothers and sisters in Iran.
