Warwick Fairfax — Losing $2.25 Billion & Finding True Identity
Growing up the 5th generation heir to Australia's largest media dynasty, Warwick Fairfax had his destiny decided for him. Or so he thought. At age 26 in the late '80s, fresh from Harvard Business School, he launched a takeover to bring the company fully back under family control again -- a bid that failed by 1990 and ended with the business founded by his great-great-grandfather going into receivership. From the ashes of what he calls that "crucible experience," though, was birthed a calling all his own as founder of Beyond the Crucible -- a vision built upon his faith in Christ and dedicated to helping others realize what he's now long known: they are more than their setbacks and failures, and their identities are not forever tied to the worst days.

Israeli Author Dov Lipman — ‘God’s Word Will Come True Over Time'
This week's conversation between Dr. Jeff and Jewish Author Dov Lipman, a native of the U.S. who immigrated to Israel in 2004 and served in the Israeli parliament, was recorded months before the Hamas attack on Israel. But the fortitude and hope that guides Jews today with their country embroiled in war is evident in Lipman's perspective that despite 2,000 years of persecution, Jews remain ever certain they will prevail ... because they believe they are God's chosen people. Regardless of the challenges that have come and will come, Lipman says, "God's Word will come true anyway. We'll emerge on the other side."

Dr. Jeff Myers — What is Christian About Being Conservative? Two Points to Ponder
This special episode features Dr. Jeff Myers addressing the Western Conservative Summit about how Christians changed the course of history. They did it, he explains, by understanding truth to not be based on logical propositions or mathematical formulas, but by seeing it as a person: Jesus Christ. Noting how many in the rising generation question what's so Christian about being conservative, Myers discusses a pair of pivotal perspectives for an ordered and orderly society informed by a Jesus-centric worldview: understanding the value of every person as an image-bearer of God and rightly recognizing the rule of law as being based on rights granted not by society, but by him.

Libby Emmons — The Threats of “Arts Activism” ...And How to Fight Back
Libby Emmons' love of artistic pursuits stretches back to childhood, when she and her friends acted out the scripts in their heads. She went on to study the arts, graduating from Sarah Lawrence College and Columbia University and launching a career as a playwright and journalist. But she discovered quickly that identity politics and liberalism's stranglehold on the arts community stifled the credibility and impact of artists like her. She's now editor-in-chief of The Post Millennial, one of the largest conservative news outlets in the world, where she urges her fellow creatives to stand up, speak their minds about their values and make it safe for others to do the same in the process.
