The Ministry of Motherhood

Moms shape more than just daily routines; they help shape the next generation. Dr. Tim Clinton sits down with bestselling author and speaker Rhonda Stoppe to talk about the powerful, often unseen ministry of motherhood and why moms are truly the first and most influential teachers in a child’s life. Rhonda offers encouragement for moms in the thick of hard seasons, reminding them that being “righteous” doesn’t mean being perfect, but instead recognizing our need for a Savior. Even in the midst of struggle, your story isn’t wasted—it may be the very thing God uses to encourage another mom.

Letter to the American Church, Pt. 2

In the conclusion of Dr. Tim Clinton’s conversation with Eric Metaxas, the discussion turns to the growing confusion within the American Church and the urgent need for Christians to reclaim their voice in the public square. Eric talks about the importance of religious liberty and why believers must be willing to stand for truth with courage and conviction. It’s an encouragement for us all to move beyond complacency to faithfully impact our communities for Christ.

Letter to the American Church, Pt. 1

Author Eric Metaxas calls on pastors and faith leaders across America to stand up, speak out, and defend biblical truth in the face of growing cultural and spiritual challenges. In the first part of their conversation, Eric joins Dr. Tim Clinton to discuss his bestselling book and documentary film, Letter to the American Church, drawing striking parallels between the failures of the German church during the rise of Nazism and the challenges facing the Church today.

Crisis of Loneliness: The Spiritual and Mental Effects of a Disconnected Culture on People who Feel Unseen

We have never been more digitally connected than now, but loneliness has never been more prevalent in our society. Sadly, the lack of emotional connection is affecting every demographic, from children to the elderly. Dr. Tim Clinton examines this issue with counseling expert Dr. Mark Mayfield. Together they break down the CDC report that 57% of our girls and teenage daughters now report regular feelings of sadness or depression. Dr. Mayfield explains that there is hope, and there are solutions that can be found in family, community, and in scripture.

The Power of a Present Father

This Father’s Day weekend, Dr. Tim Clinton talks with Mark Hancock, CEO of Trail Life USA, about why boys have a unique need for godly fathers, mentors, and male role models as they grow into men. Mark explains that boys and girls are different by design, and that many boys struggle with identity and purpose when positive male influence is absent. In this special Father’s Day conversation, he encourages dads not to let a lack of answers keep them on the sidelines. Being present and learning alongside other godly men is a powerful way to invest in a son’s future.

The Crisis of Fatherlessness in America and What We Can Do About it

Ahead of Father’s Day, husband, father, and pastoral encourager Sean Teis joins Dr. Zach Clinton to share his painful upbringing and the healing journey that led him to create God is My Dad—a ministry designed to support children growing up without a father and uplift single mothers carrying the load alone. If you’ve ever felt the ache of fatherlessness or the weight of raising a family by yourself, this conversation will remind you that you’re not forgotten and that your Heavenly Father is always near.
