Policy Won’t Change a Pro-Abortion Culture with Naomi Smith
In the fight to end abortion, changing policies is necessary, but it falls woefully short of solving the problem. Today, we have a culture that worships sex, and unless this changes, abortion will be an inevitable consequence of this lifestyle. To end abortion, we need to shift our target upstream to the root lies behind this …
Want More Enjoyment?
Do you want to experience enjoyment in this life? One of the keys is hidden in the first command given to us in Scripture in Genesis 1:28, “God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.” Did you know fructus in Latin means both “fruit” and “enjoyment”? …
A Game Plan for Post-Christian Cultures with Lennox Kalifungwa
How can we really build Christ-honoring cultures these days? How should our approach be different than past generations now that we live in a time when there is often a negative perception of believers? Lennox Kalifungwa from Zambia shares practical ways we can shape cultures that reflect the truth, goodness, and beauty of God’s Kingdom.

Famed Anti-Christian Dawkins Now Celebrating Christian Culture
Recently, the famed atheist intellectual Richard Dawkins showed his cards when he called himself a cultural Christian. It’s fascinating to see someone as anti-Christian as Dawkins appreciating the culture that was built on Christian values. But can the culture he enjoys in the West actually be sustained within a secular and atheistic worldview? Further, for Christians who see the value of biblical principles and want to have an influence in society, will we rightly be considered, “Christian Nationalists?”
The Consequences of Killing God with John Stonestreet
The foundation of our society has shifted beneath our feet. Where there was once a firm base rooted in the Bible, we now find our culture in a moral freefall. Special guest John Stonestreet from the Colson Center reveals how subtle shifts have radically eroded people’s ability to find truth, identity, justice, and meaning. Believers have a responsibility to shape society in such a way that people know truth and can find meaning and justice …
Understanding the Times and Seasons by Darrow Miller
The men of Isaachar are described in the Bible as having an understanding of their times and knowledge about what to do (1 Chronicles 12:32). This is no time to sit passively, expecting the Lord to accomplish His work apart from His people. Jesus is not only the Lamb of God; He is the Lion of Judah, the Victor, and the Dragon Slayer. We must not fear going into dark and hard places as His representatives. Ungodly cultures are breeding death and destruction …
A Framework for a Life that Works with Katherine Gallagher
Many Christians uncritically blend secular thinking with a Christian worldview.

Today’s guest shares that this fragmented thinking creates real challenges, because only one worldview actually works …
Honey, We Shrunk the Gospel with Leanna Cinquanta
To their detriment, many ministries pivot between a message of salvation and a social gospel–neither capture the fullness of the Great Commission. Dr. Leanna Cinquanta, the dynamic founder of We Ignite Nations (WIN) passionately challenges Christians to shift their understanding from a shrunken gospel to the comprehensive gospel of the kingdom, which connects to every part of our lives. Hear inspiring boots-on-the-ground reports …
Revival + Reformation = Discipled Nations with Teo Hayashi
It seems there are more churches and Christians globally than ever before in history. Yet, society and culture seem to be crumbling around us. Where are these believers? Today’s guest, Brazilian Pastor Teofilo Hayashi, argues that this lack of Christian impact is because we’ve seen souls stirred and saved, but not lives reformed …
Cultivating Imagination and Deep Thinking Amid a Culture War with Samuel Felix
In today’s anti-Christian culture, how can churches, ministries, and all of us communicate effectively with people who would rather not listen to what we have to say? What strategies can we employ to help people engage the biblical worldview? Our featured guest, Samuel Felix, is a long-time friend and Kingdomizer …
Learning to Critique & Celebrate Foreign Cultures with George Oliveira
When we cross cultural borders to serve others, it is essential for us to learn when to celebrate cultural diversity and when to critique it. This can be tricky!
