Give Us Barabbas! Jan 07, 2026

Show notes

When a culture loses moral clarity, it doesn’t choose righteousness—it chooses chaos. From Venezuela to the streets of America, we’re watching people defend tyranny and reject truth. In this episode, I break down the spiritual roots of today’s outrage, the role of education and media, and why silence is no longer an option. God always preserves a remnant—and this is our moment to stand.

AI, Truth, and the Christian Mind with Rob McDole Dec 29, 2025

Should AI be your tutor? Your counselor? Your kid’s shortcut? Today we’re asking the hard questions about artificial intelligence and faith. My guest, Rob McDole of Cedarville University, explains why discernment matters more than ever, how closed AI systems work, and what it looks like to prepare students spiritually—not just technologically—for the future.

Christmas Special: A Rescuing King for All of Us Dec 25, 2025

Show notes

In this Christmas Special, I want to invite you to slow down and listen with your kids. Gather them close—on the couch, in the car, or wherever you are—and take a moment to remember why we celebrate Christmas at all. Today, I’m sharing the story of Jesus’ birth and reminding families that God kept His promise by sending a Rescuing King. Jesus didn’t just come as a baby—He came to defeat sin, bring hope, and offer salvation to all of us. This is a meaningful episode to enjoy together as a family on Christmas Day.

Calling Over Career: Helping Teens Decide with Jeff Reep Dec 22, 2025

Show notes

Our culture pushes teens to choose a major fast—but God cares far more about calling than speed. Today I’m joined by Jeff Reep to talk about helping teens discover how they’re wired, avoid costly mistakes, and make wise decisions about college, majors, and what comes next. If you’re a parent navigating the transition from high school to adulthood, this conversation will encourage and equip you.
