Today, Roberta talks to AJ Hurley about the documentary The Last Stand: Christ or Chaos.

Psalm 88:12 speaks of a land of forgetfulness, where righteousness cannot endure. Our age has made peace with its polished idols—abortion and the sexual revolution. New names. Ancient demons. Yet the gravest danger is not the hostility of the world, but the forgetfulness of the Church. When foundations crumble, the righteous do not panic—they rebuild. But rebuilding requires memory. Anyone can diagnose ruin. Few can recover the blueprints. In The Last Stand, Seth Gruber does the unfashionable work of remembering. With hist...

Today, Roberta talks to Mike Dyson about his new book The Shadow: Walking Through The Valley, Abiding Under His Wings.

What if the shadow you’ve been living under… isn’t the one God intended?

Today, Roberta talks to Mike Novotny about her new book Newlywed: A Christian Guide for Loving Year One, available from Straight Talk Books publishers.

Your wedding was perfect. But between saying the vows and actually living your marriage . . . there’s a whole world no one really prepares you for.

Pastor Mike Novotny remembers that world well. He and his wife stepped into marriage with deep love—but almost no shared expectations about money, communication, sex, family, faith, chores, or even what “being sick” really meant. Like most couples, they learned a lot by bumping into things t...

Today, Roberta talks to Tim Mulgew about his new book The Book of Us: Discovering Ourselves in the Story of the Bible.

It’s amazing what else the Bible tells us. Once we move past the history, the science, the origins of mankind and his fall…

The things we typically study in the Bible are all dealt with in the first book, Genesis. But what lies beyond that is an amazing collection of our human-ness. The ingredients that make us up and how we misuse them. 
Our Bible shows us we are “fearfully and wonderf...

Today, Roberta talks to John G. West about his new book Endowed by Our Creator.

When our faith is challenged, the best response isn’t to fall back. It’s to go deeper.

We’re living in a cultural storm. Perhaps you feel it. Postmodern philosophy and secular ideologies have trickled from academia to the broader culture, eroding belief in basic Christian doctrines.
