Providing Culturally Sensitive Mental Health Care in the Amish Community

Ever wonder what it looks like to bring hope and healing into one of America’s most misunderstood and underserved communities?

Sharing Burdens & Sharing Hope: The Power of Christian Community in Healthcare

Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Marq James from Medi- for a conversation about finding peace, purpose, and healing in Christ. Marq shares his long journey through health challenges and how it led him to realize that his identity isn’t defined by performance or feeling “100%.” They remind us that our good works are meant to point others to God’s glory, not our own, and that true healing begins when we draw near to the great Healer.

Help our Heroes: The Unseen Mental Health Concerns of Law Enforcement and First Responders

Today, on Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, we honor the brave men and women behind the badge who face the fire—both externally and internally—in order to keep us safe. Adam Davis, a former full-time law enforcement officer who now ministers to others through his books and speaking engagements, joins Dr. Zach Clinton to shed light on common mental health struggles many first responders face. Through his testimony of deep childhood wounds that led to a distorted identity, damaged relationships, and hopelessness, Adam shares how Jesus met him in the middle of his trauma with grace and healing. You’ll be encouraged that you are never too far from the peace and restoration that can only come from our Heavenly Father.

All Things Are Possible

Victor Marx is on the campaign trail. But this time, instead of racing to rescue women and children trafficked overseas, he’s running to become the next Governor of Colorado. His platform is simple: our culture needs bold, courageous change for such a time as this, because without it, we should expect the same old results. In this conversation with Dr. Zach Clinton, Victor shares how bringing every thought into obedience to Christ makes believers dangerous to the enemy. He recounts how God redeemed his own abusive and traumatic childhood and explains how faith and discipline led him into more than 20 years of ministry with his organization, All Things Possible, rescuing trafficked women and children around the world. He also reflects on the influence of leaders we have recently lost, especially Dr. James Dobson and Charlie Kirk, whose mentorship helped shape his faith and career, reinforcing his conviction that only Christ brings true and lasting satisfaction.

Strong Marriages and Confident Parenting in Every Season of Life

Your family’s future doesn’t have to be shaped by its past. Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Jim Burns, founder of HomeWord, as he reveals that the key to raising up the next generation in the ways of the Lord is to properly equip parents to lead faith-filled homes. Jim explains why honest conversations about media, sexual integrity, and faith, paired with modeling a healthy marriage and relationship with God, help ensure faith is not just taught, but caught—because experience is often a better teacher than advice.

Holiday Traditions and Memories in Tribute to Family That Has Gone Home

This Christmas week, we reflect on the fond holiday memories shared with loved ones who are no longer with us. In this conversation from a few years ago, Dr. Tim Clinton and Dr. James Dobson look back on some of their favorite Christmas traditions and the moments that made the season so meaningful. While the pain of missing someone can feel especially heavy this time of year, they remind us that in Christ we have the hope of seeing them again. It’s an encouraging reminder to cherish the people in our lives today and to make new memories with those we love this Christmas.

“The Life You were Reborn to Live”

Grow closer to Christ, and in turn you will grow closer to others. This is the message from best-selling author and teaching pastor Gary Thomas. Gary talks with Dr. Zach Clinton about the importance of healthy lifestyles and relationships, and he emphasizes that the key for both is truly knowing the Lord. Gary explains how entitlement can quietly creep into our marriages and cause real damage, and how chasing busyness or earthly success ultimately leaves our souls empty. Gary and Zach offer a hopeful reminder that pursuing what God values and lifting up Jesus above ourselves will transform our lives and our relationships.

Compassion International: Releasing Children From Poverty in Jesus’ Name

Tim Thompson of Compassion International sits down with Dr. Zach Clinton to how their mission of releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name becomes life-changing through personal connection. Tim explains that sponsorship is more than financial support, as it’s often the first time a child hears “I love you,” has someone listen to their dreams, or believes they can become who God made them to be. True compassion, he reminds us, means to “suffer with,” and that kind of love can transform an entire family.

The Case for Christmas, Pt. 2

On this Christmas Day, Dr. Tim Clinton is joined again by renowned apologist Lee Strobel as they continue their conversation about The Case for Christmas .
