Today I’m talking with my friends Shon and Jess Thornburg from Love Life about something very close to my heart: abortion, the church, and what it looks like to actually live out our pro-life convictions. You’ll hear how God took a simple “yes” and used it to turn their church into a true House of Refuge—where babies are being saved, moms and dads are being loved, post-abortive men and women are finding healing, and ordinary believers are learning how to show up at the darkest places with the light of Christ. If you’ve ever wondered, “What can my church do?” or “Where do we even start?”, this episode will encourage you to get off the bench and into the battle for life.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

On this Fan Mail Friday, I’m answering your questions about homeschool grads walking away from biblical truth, the Ten Commandments in public schools, surprise pregnancy at 45, hospitality, family service, and biblical discipline in a soft-on-sin culture. We’ll talk apologetics for kids, how to speak truth with grace, growing in confidence to share your faith, and I’ll even pull back the curtain a bit on Jay’s role in our family and ministry—plus a fun “should we get another dog?” question.

Bold, patriotic students across the country are stepping up to lead—but too many adults are shrinking back.

From social-media outrage to AI-driven confusion, we are in a battle for wisdom — and the stakes are high.Join me as we dig into what biblical discernment really is, why it matters right now more than ever, and how we can train our hearts and minds to cling to truth in a world addicted to lies. This is a wake-up call for the church… lean in.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

Today I’m talking straight from my heart about the growing fracture inside the conservative movement—and why a house divided against itself cannot stand. We’ll bring it all back to the Word of God as I answer your Fan Mail Friday questions: finding solid Christian candidates, raising young adults who still live at home, walking with an unbelieving spouse, homeschooling when you’re exhausted, worrying over kids who aren’t walking with the Lord, and even what marriage will look like in heaven.
