Leslie Montgomery: Mike Pence, Faith & Religious Freedom
We can thank God for the representatives in Washington who are true Christians in the sense that they not only talk about faith in Christ, but walk by faith in their daily lives as well. Several books have been published about Vice President Mike Pence, but none have touched upon what may be the most fascinating aspect of our nation’s second in command: his deep faith. TODAY’S GUEST is author, Leslie Montgomery!
Todd Nettleton: Voice of the Martyrs, Persecution
Being a committed disciple of Jesus Christ often leads to discrimination or ridicule here in the states, but in many other nations, Christians are beaten, imprisoned; some are tortured, and many are killed. In spite of this, their churches are growing. How do we explain this?
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church. Outside America, Christianity is increasing and the gospel is being preached in the face of severe opposition. We often feel helpless, but there are practical ways we can help our persecuted family. Today’s guest says the number one thing is prayer.

Jill Martin Rische: Kingdoms, Cults & Demons – Oh My!
Cults, deceptions, satanism, and the supernatural. Where do we start? How about in the Christian church? We are warned to come out from among them and be separate. Most of us would admit that the increasing spiritual darkness today goes hand in hand with the landslide of immorality and rebellion against God. Interest in demons, the occult, witchcraft, and the paranormal have never been so high.
We expect these things to be popular in a pagan society and among those who don’t know God. But what we are seeing more and more is the church opening up its door to one or more of these deceptions. This goes beyond false teachings although sound doctrine is of utmost importance to Christians. We’re talking about the demonic realm; about spiritual warfare.
Linda Harvey: Sexual Corruption in Education and Culture
Our culture is in a state of chaos. From young children being taught they can be whatever gender they choose, to adults being too busy or overwhelmed to deal with the onslaught of propaganda against Christians, biblical values, and religious freedom; something must change before it’s too late.
Linda Harvey writes: “Truth is critical to a dying patient, and America is gravely ill. All that can save her is all that has ever been able to save her–the blood of Jesus Christ. But when will comfortable Christians proclaim this truth to the nation? What will it take for the church to return to its first love?
John Haller: Top End Times Signs Relating to Bible Prophecy
It’s hard to believe we’re in the final year of 2019. While some of us are saying, “thank God!” others are trying to figure out where the year went. Today, John Haller and I are going to look at 10 Categories of end times signs that line up with Bible Prophecy and indicate we’re truly in the last days.
David Fiorazo: How Did We Get Here? A Lesson for America
The Apostle Paul stated, For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:11, and the Psalmist stated, If the foundations are destroyed what can the righteous do? Psalm 11:3 We are warned in Scripture to guard...
Thanksgiving Thoughts & Wisconsin Ministry Spotlight
Juan Valdez: Critical Thinking, Culture Wars, and Apologetics
People often ask fair questions about faith, God, the Bible, or about truth. Today’s youth are no different. Can you really know God, does absolute truth exist, if God is love why is there evil, do Christians live by blind faith? And many other honest questions.
But there’s a problem. Too often, believers in Christ do not have good, thoughtful answers for them. Are we equipped to answer these questions let alone help today’s young people for the spiritual and cultural battles they face every day?
Walter Hoye: Black Pre-Born Lives Matter to God
Jay Seegert on Creation vs Evolution
The universe reveals a complexity, design, and magnificence that staggers the imagination, and logic shows us that life could not have appeared by some random, spontaneous process. Evidence seems to point to a master plan and an intelligent being; such intricate, organized design must have come from a Designer.
The theory of evolution however, has been generally accepted by the scientific community and academia, and taught as fact in most public schools across America.
Pastor Andy Woods: What is ‘Kingdom Now’ Theology
Since it’s important to address subtle deceptions in the church (and some not so subtle), we’re going a bit deeper today to tackle a teaching that affects what Christians believe about the kingdom of God. But many do not realize it. A few questions we’ll answer are: If the kingdom of Jesus Christ is coming soon, what do we do with our time here on earth in terms of working for the Lord’s purposes? And what exactly is ‘Kingdom Now’ theology?
Radical Truth: Islam, Muhammad, & Middle East History
Do we understand the true history of Islam? At the turn of the 8th century, the Middle East was 95% Christian. Today, it is less than 6% Christian. WHAT HAPPENED? Muslims are now being elected to the U.S. Congress. Many were appointed by the Obama administration. What about freedom of religion – is it for all faiths? What about the U.S. Constitution? Is America’s system of government compatible with Sharia Law? Hear the “Radical Truth” on today’s podcast with Tony Gurule.

Mike Gendron: The True Gospel, Tradition, and Catholic Church History
Why so many religions and denominations? Nearly one in five people worldwide identify with the Roman Catholic Church. Many are serious practitioners while others have no idea what their church’s teachings include. But it is a very popular religion that feeds the need many people have to rely on good works. The problem is they miss the importance of the authority of Scripture, the true gospel, and justification by faith. Today’s guest is author and evangelist, Mike Gendron.

Open War is Upon Us: the Reality of Spiritual Warfare
When darkness increases, light shines the brightest. So how does America look today? Where is the salt and light? Are Christians equipped for the spiritual and cultural battles we are faced with today? As we strive to share the Gospel, there is also a spiritual war going on against Christ and His truth. The Bible encourages believers to be soldiers for Christ. And in Ephesians 6 Paul tells us to put on the armor of God. Why?
Believers need preparation and protection! Paul writes that the Sword of the Spirit is the Word of God, the only offensive weapon for believers. We must speak the word and, in order to do that we need to know the word of God.
Just Tell Me What Makes Me Feel Good!
“Please, pastor, tell me what I want to hear. Make me feel good. No hard truths, no tough topics, just love and grace and encouragement. Don’t get too deep. I just want to enjoy my life and not to be challenged in my faith.” Sound extreme? People may not admit it, but we might be surprised how common this attitude is among churchgoers in America.
Today’s guest is evangelist, pastor/teacher, and former Muslim, Elijah Abraham.

Kanye West: Former Blasphemer Now Christian Brother
Breaking: Kanye West is human! Yes he is apparently a new convert to Christianity. Yes he seems to be bearing some fruit for the kingdom of God. Yes, he was a blasphemer, idolater, self-worshiper. Yes, he has a long way to go.
But we’ve heard from pastors, celebrities, ministry leaders, and fans. We’ve heard many good reports about the sincerity and boldness of Kanye’s faith in Christ and enthusiasm for the gospel.
Bottom line: let’s pray for his growth and maturity, and watch with cautious optimism.
