Hello, friend. I hope you’re doing well today. Father’s Day is coming up, making this week’s episode especially timely. We’re looking at a couple of stories in the Bible when scared, desperate fathers felt out of options. And what God said to them, he says to you: Trust your children to me.

Setan Lee shares his remarkable story of his dramatic escape from the Killing Fields of Cambodia in the 1970s under the control of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge and then returning years later to share the gospel with his oppressors - the President and other Khmer Rouge military leaders, many of whom came to Christ.

There's no place like home, right? Just as home brings a sense of belonging, rest, and security, so does a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. If you don't have one, this article can show you how to find your place in G...

Our local high school football team had the most dramatic turn around I think I’ve ever seen in a high school team. They had only scored in two games the season before. A new coach took over, and the next season they were in the state championship and were on top many years after that!

They actually had a coach who molded winners. And I had a son who was coming up in the ranks and would soon be playing football for him. I pointed out to my son this coach’s successes and one of the...

Anne shares from Revelation 21.

I grew up as an only child. My parents took me to most of the places that they went, but I remember one time they left me home by myself. I was home alone. (You know, maybe somebody could make a movie about that someday.) Well, anyway, we lived in this third floor apartment on the south side of Chicago. It was getting very late. I was sitting near the back door waiting and they should have been home by now. I was worried. I remember hearing sirens and I thought, “Oh, no!” Okay, my imagination went crazy; it was...

Reading a biography is one thing, but hearing from someone who actually lived with the subject is even better. That's precisely what we find in the Gospel of John. As one of Jesus' closest disciples, the Apostle John helps us behold the same glory of Christ that he witnessed firsthand. Join David Wollen, along with John Schafer and Brennan McPherson—the creators of a new animated film about Jesus—for a special episode of The Great Stories Podcast, Jesus Through the Gospel of John.

If you ever saw my oldest son, when he was younger, eating a hamburger, you’d see how quickly it disappears. I’m sure that you would find it hard to believe that there was a time when he was actually too young to eat one. Yes, but we have the movies at home to prove it! You’ve seen this little baby eating this mush that only babies eat. He didn’t have any equipment to chew a hamburger with, right? So we’d feed him this smooth, beaten-to-death version of the real thing – no chewing, no effort, it just kind...

Animator John Pomeroy worked on some of the most beloved animated films of all time. Now he’s bringing that experience to Adventures in Odyssey. He shares how he got started, what he learned from animation legends, and how those lessons are shaping Journey to the Impossible. Plus: a preview of “The Great Yellowstone Heist”

It was one of the most compelling television documentaries I think I’ve seen. It aired on one of the anniversaries of the September 11th attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade Center. The stories of rescuers and survivors. One story I just can’t shake was told by this British young woman who worked in a brokerage firm high up in Tower Two. She recalled with remarkable composure the confusion in her office on whether or not to evacuate the building. She’s alive today because she made the right decision. But many of her coworkers never...

If two million people have been helped by using Adult Stem cells, why are we still talking about embryonic cells?  How do adult stems cells work and why do embryonic stem cells not succeed?

We answer these questions and more as we sit down with Dr. David Prentice, a longtime stem cell researcher and policy adviser, to separate stem cell hype from stem cell results, and to name the ethical stakes that often get blurred on purpose.

We also get practical for anyone considering stem cell t...

I was a Flash Gordon freak when I was a kid. Now, you probably have led a deprived life and you may be saying, “Flash who?” Let me bring you up-to-date. Flash Gordon was an inter-galactic hero that was made famous in a serialized movie that I think might have been filmed way back in the 1930s. No, I did not see it when it first came out! But it kept going on and on and on forever. I think you might still be able to find it sometimes on late night TV. Every episode ended with Flash Gordon in a...

Hello, my friend. You’ve probably heard the phrase, “The only constant in life is change.” Chances are, you’re facing some changes right now. If you’re struggling with the unknown or worried about what’s ahead of you, may the promise of Psalm 23 remind you that whatever you face, you are never, ever alone. “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.” (Psalm 23:6)

As Lenny left our headquarters, I said, “Man, you have really made a difference around here!” He really had. A company that was getting rid of a lot of office furniture donated about a dozen desks to our ministry, and we were thrilled to get them! Good desks, but well, not exactly beautiful desks. They were all scarred and beat up, and on the surface they didn’t look particularly useful. In fact, the company that donated them actually was getting ready to discard them before they learned about our need. So, here in a storage area were all these...

Week 1 of the Series Come to the Table. A Message by Travis Eades.

Anne shares from Revelation 2-3.

When Average Boy visits his friend Richie’s very large house, he makes a surprising observation—the Olympics could be hosted here. But before he contacts the Olympic people, Bob has a high-speed scooter chase and learns an unexpected lesson from Richie’s wise (and strong) grandmother: It’s good to slow down and just be. Jesse and Bob talk about busyness, silence, and why rest matters by drawing inspiration from Scripture and Jesus’ example of getting away to pray. Along the way, expect exaggerations, Jesse jokes, inflatable dolphins, and an important challenge for listeners to help them grow closer to...

My next door neighbor in our dorm in college always wanted to preach like Billy Graham. I mean he really wanted to preach like Billy Graham. He would record Billy Graham on his radio program, and then he would listen to the tapes over and over again. He would copy everything, including even the inflections of Billy’s voice. And then he would watch Billy Graham. He studied his gestures; he’d try to get them down and gesture just when Billy Graham would. He’d hold his Bible like Billy Graham. Now you are going to think he was re...

When I say this man is a veteran test pilot, I mean he’s easily old enough to be comfortably retired. Instead, he’s still blasting through the skies at these mind-boggling speeds, testing some of America’s most advanced aircraft. He told his amazing life story on a national television program. It’s a story of a lifelong adventure in the skies and a long spiritual search here on earth that ended, well, with the pilot of the universe piloting his life. As he concluded his story, he told about an incident where he was sent up in a state...

Have you ever wondered what Jesus really thinks when He looks at you? Is His response like ours—patient for a while, but eventually disappointed by weakness and failure? Scripture paints a far different picture. Join David Wollen and special guest Dane Ortlund for a new episode of the Great Stories Podcast, Dane Ortlund on How God Sees You Part 2, as they explore the surprising depth of Christ’s love, compassion, and heart for His people.

My Dad worked to make the money for our family, so my Dad decided where we went on vacation—fishing. Now some people would consider that a dream vacation, but the high-energy, ten-year-old me? No, I didn’t think so. After just a little while, I was complaining. I was bored, but of course we kept fishing. Did I mention that my Dad made the money? Well, actually, we did have a good catch there and they were good eating. Catching them was fun. Eating them was fun. In between, there was this one step that was less fun - cl...

How does the abortion industry shape language and conscience over time? How does moral relativism make the unthinkable feel routine? Why is abortion often driven by fear, shame, and a sense of unwantedness?

Two practicing OBGYNs once saw abortion as normal medicine. Then something happened that neither training nor politics could explain away and it changed everything. This week we talk with Dr. Catherine Wheeler and Dr. John Bruchowski about the moments that shattered the “fog,” the cost of facing what they had done, what truth plus grace look...

When you’re a five-year-old girl, going to dark places can be pretty scary. When my wife was that age, she lived in the country and she had this long, often dark road that she walked to get to the school bus. Part of the way, there was a grandma, and then there was a neighbor who watched and waved at her as long as she was in sight. See, it was that last stretch that was the problem. Trees covering that road, making it dark on the sunniest day, and sounds in the woods that reminded her of th...

Hello, my friend. Thanks for joining me today. You’re likely familiar with the story of the first sin. The moment in the Garden of Eden when Eve defied God’s instruction to not eat the fruit from one specific tree. But have you ever considered what was at war in Eve’s mind and heart? Maybe she wasn’t simply prideful, or disobedient, but perhaps she was first afraid?

Former Senator Ben Sasse shares in a deeply personal conversation about faith, suffering, mortality, and the hope of eternity after receiving a stage four pancreatic cancer diagnosis. With honesty, humility, and remarkable peace, Sasse shares how his faith in Christ has transformed his thinking, as he reflects on the importance of rightly ordered loves, including the proper role of government, and the need for civility in the culture. He also shares about the dangers of modern distractions and why Christians can face even life’s darkest moments without fear.

It seems like I’ve been on a diet since I was about six months old, or at least it seems that way. My “thorn in my flesh” could be my metabolism. Is that possible? It refuses to convert calories; it loves to store calories instead. Now, over the years, I’ve made friends with my metabolism, and thankfully I was able to knock off a good amount of that. I’ve learned how much intake I can stand in relation to how much I’ll be doing that day. The problem is that the day is filled with caloric choi...
