Standing for Truth when Life, Freedom and Family Hang in the Balance
On the eve of this critical election, we stand at a precipice. Which way will America lean? According to Dr. Jeff Myers, president of Summit Ministries, the answer is simple- we should stand up straight, because biblical truth teaches us to do so. But our stand isn’t just on November 5th, it should be everyday. Dr. Myers has led Summit to train up young Christian thinkers for such a time as this. As he shares with Zach Clinton, it is the responsibility of every one of us to address culture head on in our daily lives and become people who engage rather than avoid tough conversations. Jeff’s message- The Truth of the Gospel is unchanging and our hope is eternal!
Religious Liberty at a Crossroads
Kelly Shackelford stands on the belief that religious freedom is the cornerstone of all other freedoms. As President, CEO, and Chief Counsel of First Liberty Institute, he has led persecuted individuals to victory in defense of their religious rights, including securing nine Supreme Court wins. Kelly shares with host Dr. Tim Clinton just how critical this year is for Americans to continue defending religious liberty in today’s culture, in the courts, and at the polls.
The Pillars of American Democracy: The Institutions of Government and Family
Dr. Ben Carson has devoted his life to serving others. First, as a neurosurgeon, then, as the 17th U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. He describes to Zach Clinton what he sees as an erosion of the pillars that made this country so special, and defines the threats to the Republic that must be addressed to insure our faith and freedom. Dr. Carson says if we return to the documents that the founding fathers wrote, he believes we can return to the divinely inspired order that made this country great.
The Ministry of Presence: CityServe in Israel
CityServe works through the local church to equip and resource communities in need, both in the U.S. and internationally. CityServe’s Todd Lamphere explains to Tim Clinton the work this ministry is doing in war-torn Israel, and in other parts of the globe. Humanitarian efforts include a presence in Ein HaBesor and neighboring communities in the Eshkol, often referred to as the “breadbasket of Israel.” This area in the south was devastated by the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023. Located just three miles west of Gaza, this farming community defended itself and is now leading the region’s efforts to thrive post-tragedy. CityServe is also focused on addressing the trauma experienced by citizens, especially the children, so that there will be a safe haven for families to heal and regain normalcy. Listen and be encouraged, exclusively on “Life, Love, Faith, and Family.”
Students for Life: A New Day on Campuses Across America
Kristan Hawkins is unapologetically pro-life. The President of Students for Life of America explains to Dr. Tim Clinton why she and her team spend so much time on college campuses engaging young people. She says the key to changing someone’s mind on the issue of abortion is to change their heart. Kristan says young people need see their own value, “because so many of them don’t think they are important, so how could they value any other life?” Be enlightened as Tim and Kristan explore the dawn of a new day on college campuses and warn of the threats to women’s health and the pre-born should the upcoming elections empower those with a radical agenda.
Reagan: The Love, Strength and Courage of an American President
Some say Ronald Reagan was America’s most loved President. History has certainly proven him to be one of the most successful and respected leaders of the 20th Century. Listen as actor Dennis Quaid describes to Zach Clinton his careful decision to take on the daunting role of playing the 40th President of the United States in a new feature film releasing this month. Be inspired as Dennis describes his admiration for Ron and Nancy Reagan, an appreciation for their love story, and the spirit he felt while researching the family and the turbulent eras that defined “the Gipper.” Dennis recounts some of his other films, discussing his own hardships with Zach, and describes a renewed enthusiasm as an artist making films, pushing boundaries, and now, releasing a music CD, “Fallen: A Gospel Record for Sinners.”
Why Should Christians Support Israel?
Dr. Jeff Myers offers timely perspective on a seemingly impossible situation in the Middle East that poses a global threat to us all. Listen as the president of Summit Ministries provides historical evidence and solution anchored in a biblical worldview, and shares with Dr. Tim Clinton his first-hand experience visiting Israel just 103 days after the October 7th attack by Hamas.
