What if the world is more open to Christianity than we think? Most non-Christians are not hostile to the faith. Less than 10% are serious atheists and evolutionists. The majority are open---even curious---about spiritual matters. Our guest’s research-based approach can help you start respectful, fruitful conversations, bridge the traditional vs. modern spirituality gap, and dismantle common communication barriers. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation.

Amid a godless culture, Paul did what was necessary to reach the masses with the message of everlasting life: he reasoned about Jesus “in the marketplace daily with those who happened to be there” (Acts 17:17) and he found a hill to preach on. We too are living in a godless society, and those in the streets desperately need to hear God’s Word. If we are serious about reaching this dying world, let us emulate Jesus and the apostles and preach where sinners gather. In thirty minutes, a good open-air preacher can reach more unsaved people than the average church does in a year. For more than fifty years Ray Comfort has preached the gospel in the open air and witnessed one-to-one to thousands. During those years he has learned certain biblical principles that make reaching the lost so much easier.

According to Google, the phrase “I’m offended” has increased in usage by more than 5,600% in just the past century. Humans have always taken offense, but never have we been so obsessed with it. Offense stunts our conversations and divides our relationships. It infects our families, politics, entertainment, and churches. Yet few seem to be asking why or what it might be costing us. Today we look closely at some of Jesus’ most challenging words. Discover a Savior willing to risk offending you to heal you from your deepest insecurities. Because His love is great, His truths are often hard, and His compassion sharp. But perhaps it’s Jesus’ hard words we need most right now.

We start this hour by discussing yet another state’s battle on the topic of abortion. This time our sites are set on Nebraska and the issue voters will face in that state. Then author Tim Goeglein looks at the philosophies and policies that led to the societal earthquake of the 1960s and how those philosophies and policies have led to the cataclysm America faces today. He offers a blueprint for rejecting those philosophies and policies by returning to the core values upon which America was built: personal responsibility, respect for life, sexual restraint, and patriotism.

Did the Church anticipate that one of the largest challenges to biblical Truth and authority would come from LGBT activists? How do we speak the truth in love on one of the most contentious issues facing our culture today? Is there a distinction between ‘affirming’ and loving someone who struggles in this area? Join us for a thoughtful and compassionate conversation with someone who can say clearly, “...and such were some of us!”

One of the few guarantees in life is that we will suffer. Everything around us is broken. Each of us has an expiration date. A few years ago, our guest and his wife, together with their young children, were confronted with this unavoidable reality when she was faced with a terminal cancer diagnosis. Shattered by grief, they began to wrestle with what it means to follow Jesus when everything around them seemed to be giving way. This pastor and his wife discovered truths about God from Scripture that provided the resources they needed to survive—truths too often neglected by the modern world. God meets us in our grief, but not always in ways we expect or even want.

How many states are pushing back on ‘gender-affirming’ procedures? Do parents have a right to know what happens at their child’s school?
