Can women teach in the church but not serve as pastors? What do you say to a mother frightened by a possible Down syndrome diagnosis?

The Road to November: The Cost of Speaking Up with Bryan Shull Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

What happens when you decide to get involved in local politics—and suddenly find out who’s willing to stand with you? Bryan Shull joins me to talk about the backlash he’s faced, the pressures on small businesses, and why he’s running for office anyway. Friends, the decisions affecting our families and communities are being made close to home. We can’t afford to sit this one out.

Don’t Vote With Amnesia Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

Gas and groceries are expensive. I’m frustrated too. But before we head to the polls, we need to remember what else is at stake: life, parental rights, education, judges, and our constitutional freedoms. In this episode, I’m talking about why Christians need to do their homework, vote on principle, and show up in November.

Tuesday In Ten: You’re Not Promised Tomorrow Sep 22, 2026

Show notes

Life is short, and none of us is promised tomorrow. Today I’m encouraging you to stop putting off what God has called you to do. Make the phone call, offer forgiveness, love your family well, share the gospel, and say yes to the Lord.

Have We Watered Down the Gospel? with Ray Comfort Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

Why are so many Christians afraid to share their faith—and have our churches softened the gospel in the process? Ray Comfort joins me to talk about evangelism, the reality of hell, spiritual warfare, the fear of the Lord, and why the good news only makes sense when we understand the seriousness of sin. We’re also talking about Ray’s new autobiography, Compelled, and his remarkable life of sharing Jesus with the lost.

Fan Mail Friday: Should Christians Take Government Money? Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

Should Christian families accept government subsidies if the help is already available—or should we be worried about the strings attached? Today I’m answering that, plus when theological differences are serious enough to leave a church, loving an adult child who disagrees with you, baptism, tithing while in debt, teens working Sundays, discerning when “God told me” is really God, and helping a homeschool graduate find direction. Plus, a sobering look at why Americans are more dissatisfied than ever with our education system.

The Road to November: What’s at Stake in the Battle for Congress with Sen. John Braun Sep 17, 2026

Show notes

The battle for Congress runs straight through races like Washington’s 3rd Congressional District. I’m joined by Sen. John Braun to talk about what’s at stake this November—from affordability and the national debt to parental rights, border security, election integrity, and the growing ideological divide in our country. The midterms matter, friends. It’s time to understand the issues, get involved, and show up.

Feminism Lied to Women Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

Modern feminism promised women freedom—but somewhere along the way, it began teaching us to reject the very things God designed us for. Today I’m looking at the legacy of Gloria Steinem, abortion, marriage, motherhood, and what Scripture actually says about the dignity and beauty of being a woman.

Tuesday in Ten: Stop Letting the News Steal Your Peace Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

There is no shortage of bad news right now, but Christians were never meant to live at the mercy of the headlines. The nations are raging, the world feels unstable, and fear is always waiting to take over. But God is still on His throne. Today I’m talking about staying engaged without becoming consumed, praying before reacting, and keeping our hearts and minds stayed on the Lord.
