Hello, friend! What does it look like to live out your faith when life gets hard? In this message, we turn to Philippians 1 and explore powerful reminders from Paul’s time in prison, the Pony Express, and the story of Cassie Bernall. Through these stories, we’re challenged to live with integrity when no one is watching, stand together in sharing the gospel, and remain steady when our faith is tested. The good news of Jesus is worth more than just our words—it’s worth our whole lives! Join me as we discover what it means to live worthy of the g...

This discussion will show the stark contrast between Karl Marx and evangelist Dwight L. Moody to help people understand the impact of Marxism in our culture. The discussion will help parents to better understand what their children are being taught, why Democratic socialism and communism are so attractive, and how we have to prepare our families for the future, pointing to the Gospel of Christ.

Gym class can be a pretty unfair place in school. You’ve got your natural athletes, your average athletes, and your basic klutzes, like me, who are all lumped together in the same class. It’s tough to get a decent grade if the teacher compares your performances. The natural athletes, of course, are going to play better, score higher, run farther than many others who are trying just as hard. And many a good student has had his grade point dragged down. Not because of a C effort in gym, but because of a C result.

He may have been the greatest American hero of his time; his name was Meriwether Lewis. When President Thomas Jefferson bought the massive Louisiana Purchase from Napoleon, the size of this young country was more than doubled overnight. The land stretched from the Mississippi all the way to the Pacific, and much of it was known well to Native Americans but largely unknown to white Americans. Jefferson tapped his personal aide and a distinguished war veteran to lead this incredible adventure that we know today as the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Following the long and winding route of the...

Jesus said, “Look at the birds,” reminding us that our heavenly Father is sovereign over all creation. Throughout Scripture, we’re invited to look beyond the world around us and see what it reveals about God. Join David Wollen on the Great Stories Podcast for a new episode, Kevin Burrell on Seeing God Through the Birds, for a compelling and surprisingly comforting conversation about how even the birds can point us to Jesus.

Now, it’s hard to lose weight; I know that very well. But the real trick in weight loss is keeping the weight off. Years ago I dropped about 55 pounds and believe me i’m not looking for it. I mean, it went away thankfully a little bit at a time. I found out that it is possible to hang around the level of where you got your weight loss to. Of course, you can’t eat grapefruit all the time, or celery, or diet bars for the rest of your life. No. That’s the way a lot of peopl...

The military has a roll call – reading out the names to see if everybody’s there. Family get-together? Well, you know who you’ve got. You’ve got Mom, Dad, Grandma, Granddad, and grandchildren. You don’t usually have roll calls. Now, there was a point where we had one three-year-old grandson who took roll in his own little way. While we’re all busy in the usual chatter and bustle of everyone catching up, our grandson was obviously evaluating who’s there and who isn’t. You could tell. Before very long, he would pipe up, “Where’s Grandma?” or “Where’...

Abortion pills are now shipped across state lines with little to no in-person screening, and that single shift may be doing more to shape abortion access than dozens of state laws. We sit down with Gabriella McIntyre, legal counsel with Alliance Defending Freedom, to unpack Louisiana v. FDA and the fight over the FDA’s decision to allow mail-order mifepristone under its REMS rules. With a Fifth Circuit hearing ahead, we talk about what a win could change, why this case matters after Dobbs, and how state protections can be un...

Are parents putting too much pressure on their children to succeed? In this episode, John Fuller and Dr. Danny Huerta explore the growing trend of performance-driven parenting and how it's affecting kids' well-being. Along with Dr. Kevin Leman, they challenge parents to redefine success around character rather than achievement, examine whether their love feels conditional on performance, and model the values they want to see in their children.

I picked up a habit while going out to eat with my young children years ago. It’s a habit I really don’t need to do any more, but I got in the habit of cutting their meat for them. Now, if you’re a parent, you know that you get that old knife out before you start on your own dinner and you cut theirs into bite-size chunks. The problem is that I go out to lunch with a lot of businessmen, too, and I kind of have this reflex to cut their meat. But I’ve never fo...

Hello, friend! Thanks for joining me for today’s Encouraging Word. In this episode, we’re reminded through the story of Elijah that steadfast faith can carry us through life’s storms. When we believe in the God who believes in us, we can trust His provision, protection, peace, and promises for our future. No matter what we face, God is near, He cares for us, and He is faithful to carry us through with hope.

This grandparent thing can be an expensive proposition. I mean, without grandchildren, you can walk past hundreds of cute toys and never miss a step. But when you have a grandchild, you keep seeing your grandchild's name on those toys. Which means you must buy the toy with their name on it. Right? Well, not all of them, but probably too many of them. We happened to be in a store with our little granddaughter when she was about one year old, and I happened to see this great stick horse that I thought would be entertaining for another...

I used to be undefeated in Scrabble. I’m sure you're real excited about that. Of course I’ve never heard of an Olympic Scrabble Tournament, or I would have entered it. But you notice what I said…I used to be undefeated? Yeah.

See, a long time ago my son broke my winning streak. You say, “Well, it couldn’t have been too impressive.” Yeah, my son is a smart kid. And near the end of that game that finished my future as the King of Scrabble I was getting desperate! I had a few high-scoring letters left...

Dealing with Emotional Disconnection in Marriage

It's really a beautiful area of the southwestern United States, except for this one horrendous eyesore. It's a graveyard for cars. Acre after acre. They’re covered with cars that have been discarded, or wrecked, or crushed, and stacked several cars deep. And every time I pass this one and I see all these trashed and mashed cars, I can't help but thinking to myself, "Just think, one day that car was somebody's dream come true." Someone probably wished for that car, got that car, and showed everybody this car they were so proud of. Look at it now!

It was the strangest picnic in American history I think. It was July 1861, on a hill in Northern Virginia, overlooking a stream called Bull Run. The Southern states had seceded from the Union, they’d attacked a Union fort in April, and now what the North called “the rebel army” was headed for Washington, D.C. Most people in the capitol thought the Union Army was going to mop up these Southern forces in a matter of weeks, and they wanted to see it happen as the Northern troops moved to engage the Confederates at Bull Run. They came from c...

This week we talk with Abby Johnson about why “equal protection” is splitting the pro-life movement and why she believes the law has to treat abortion like the crime we say it is. If you’ve ever wondered why some pro-lifers whisper about “equal protection,” this conversation brings it into the open. Victor and Abby talk through the debate that’s dividing the movement: should the law treat abortion as a true equal-protection crime against an unborn child, and if so, who is accountable when it happens?

One of our team members is quite the woodsman and hiker. And one foggy Saturday morning, he volunteered to lead a group of men who wanted to go hike to this distinctive rock formation called Hawksbill Crag. He had the book on the trails in that area; a book written by the man considered the expert. My friend kept consulting the book as they went along, pretty confident that they would soon end up at Hawksbill Crag. They ended up lost in a poison ivy patch, and the fog wasn't helping much. As they tried to retrace their steps...

Hello, friend. I'm glad you're here today. In today’s Encouraging Word, we look at Elijah’s extraordinary departure and the powerful reminder that death does not have the final word for those who trust in God. Through Scripture and a moving personal story, we’re reminded that our days are in God’s hands and that death is not an ending, but a transition into the life He has promised. Even when facing life’s hardest moments, we can have peace and confidence knowing that God is faithful, heaven is real, and the best is still ahead.

In this inspiring episode, Pastor Chip Ingram invites listeners to rediscover the power of Christlike love in a culture marked by division and self-interest.
