Lessons from WWII: What Corrie ten Boom Taught Us [Featuring Nan Gurley]
Moments of great conflict test our relationship with the Lord and our faith, and an excellent example of this is the life of Corrie Ten Boom. In this podcast, Pastor Allen talks with Actress Nan Gurley, who played Corrie in The Hiding Place movie and theatrical production. They discuss the Ten Boom family’s decision to hide Jews in their home during World War II, risking everything for the sake of compassion and humanity. "I read The Hiding Place in my twenties, and it had a big impact on me. You read a story like that, and you go, 'Wow, what a hero. I wonder—would I risk my life? Do I love Jesus that much?' You really don't know unless you're tested," Nan Gurley said. Corrie’s unwavering faith in God guided her through harrowing experiences including imprisonment in a concentration camp and the murder of her sister, Betsie. Join us as we explore themes of faith, resistance, betrayal, courage, and the transformative power of forgiveness. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share your thoughts in the comments!

What Does Palestine Want to Be Free From? [Featuring Yair Pinto]
Hamas leader, Ismail Haniyeh, was recently killed in Tehran, and Iran is likely to retaliate. The Hezbollah commander, Fuad Shukr, was killed by an airstrike in Beirut. Students in America hold protests proclaiming, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” not realizing they are calling for the annihilation of the Jewish people. Voices continue to call for a ceasefire despite the fact that Hamas attacked with no warning, Israeli women were brutally raped, and babies were burned to death. These acts were driven by hatred and forces of evil we could not begin to fathom. "If you're talking about a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, you should point the finger at Hamas. This is the leadership of the Gaza Strip of the Palestinian people in Gaza. Hamas—this is a terrorist organization that does not care about anything other than destroying Israel," Yair Pinto declared. Pinto is the Director of Operations at TBN Israel & Sar-El Media. In this podcast, he and Pastor Allen give us insight into what is happening with the war in Israel and their enemy's true agenda: the annihilation of the Jewish people. __ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

The 1916 Project: Planned Parenthood's Dark History Revealed [Featuring Seth Gruber]
Millions of our tax dollars fund an organization that murders babies in the womb and mutilates adolescents under the guise of healthcare. "Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the world and the second largest provider of cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers. Trans drugs for teens is now Planned Parenthood's fastest growing revenue stream," Seth Gruber told Pastor Allen. At the Democratic National Convention, a "mobile health clinic" offered women chemical abortions, offering a chilling example of how child sacrifice is being used to gain political power—just as it was in ancient times. In this podcast, Gruber explains how racism, Marxism, CRT, the KKK, the Third Reich, Margaret Sanger, the sexual revolution, and Planned Parenthood all tie together. We are fighting in a battle of worldviews and the Church needs to stand for the children. This episode will give you a deeper understanding of the spiritual nature behind the issue of abortion, and how God can use you to be an essential part of the solution.More Information: White Rose Resistance: https://thewhiterose.life/The 1916 Project Book: https://the1916project.com/book/The 1916 Project Trailer: https://youtu.be/it_7AO6tfLs?si=HSgNzkL6054oAocq__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

How to Protect Your Children Online [Featuring Sarah Siegand]
Social media is bombarding children with cultural confusion, predatory behaviors, and peer pressure. Here's the truth: Children have access to technology and platforms they aren’t mentally prepared for, and they need their parents to help them stay safe. The co-founder of Parents Who Fight, Sarah Siegand, joins Pastor Allen on this podcast to talk about this issue. She encourages parents to delay addictive technology for the sake of their children's emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. "We feel like 16 is the minimum age that you should consider adding social media into their lives. I think we probably remember that old saying, 'Which is stronger the flesh or the spirit?' The answer is the one you feed the most. If you want your kids to be spiritually strong, you have to give them time to grow into that," Sarah advised. Sarah and her husband, Jesse, started Parents Who Fight in 2015 so they could spread awareness about the online dangers children are exposed to every day. Listen and learn about what’s happening online, and find steps you can take to protect the children.Parents can find more information and tools to help them navigate the online world with their children during our new Fall Learning Series. @Sarah Siegand will be speaking at two seminars, and she’ll also lead a 4-week class.September 26 - Parents Who Fight Speaker Session: Birth-6th Grade ParentsOctober 3 - Parents Who Fight Speaker Session: 7th-12th Grade ParentsOctober 17 to November 7 - Parents Who Fight: Protect Kids Online 4-Week ClassMore Information:Parents Who Fight: https://www.parentswhofight.com/aboutSign up for a speaker session and the 4-week class here: https://bit.ly/3TuGoFV__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

How DEI Promotes Oppression [Featuring Tim and Rosa Harris]
Does the shade of your skin determine your disadvantage? Tim and Rosa Harris join Pastor Allen on this episode to discuss the origin of DEI, the Marxist roots of CRT, and the display of God's faithfulness in their lives. Tim shares how they suspect that his open opposition to the concepts of DEI led to him losing his job in higher education. "One of the professors comes out on stage alluding that skin color and your zip code relegates you to a certain lot in life, which hadn't been my experience," Tim told Pastor Allen. "I don't necessarily see my race or my zip code as an impediment or a barrier to success." Does DEI really promote diversity, or is it leading to more division in our nation?__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

The Taliban, Kamala's Silence, and Censorship
"If you're still watching the demonstrations that are in favor of the terrorists, Hamas and Hezbollah, I hope you'll watch who's sponsoring them. It gives you an insight into their worldview. If they'll support Hamas, they will not support liberty, freedom, free speech, women's rights, and children's rights. They will not support diversity. They will not support inclusivity," Pastor Allen Jackson stated in this podcast. We are witnessing women and LGBTQ+ activists protesting on behalf of countries where women face 10 years in jail for not wearing a hijab and same-sex activity is punishable by death. It is difficult to make sense of it, but it is clear that the issues are spiritual and require a spiritual response. In this podcast, Pastor Allen talks about the vice and virtue laws passed by the Taliban, what occurred at the DNC, the censorship of free speech in the United States, and what Christians can do about what we see happening.__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

How a Hollywood Actress Found Jesus [Featuring Jennifer O'Neill]
“I was forced to have an abortion. I had my daughter when I was 19. I wanted this baby, and I folded because I was told lies. I paid for it for many years and nine miscarriages later,” Jennifer shared with Pastor Allen, "I received my forgiveness when I came to Christ. It took me ten years to receive it about my abortion. I thought somehow what I had done was bigger than what Jesus Christ did on the cross." Jennifer O'Neill joins Pastor Allen to talk about how she found healing from her abortion, why it is important for Christians to unapologetically speak truth on cultural issues, and her role as Ronald Reagan's mother, Nelle, in the new film, Reagan. She is a model, actress, film and television star, spokesperson, producer, and author. She started a ministry called Hope & Healing at Hillenglade, which offers equine therapy for active military members, veterans, and first responders. In this podcast, Pastor Allen and Jennifer remind us that God gives us all unique talents and opportunities to glorify Him and speak the truth of His Word.

America Has A National Security Crisis [Featuring Chad and Hunter Robichaux]
Would the war in Ukraine not have happened if the United States military didn't withdraw from Afghanistan? Why did Thomas Matthew Crooks have an opportunity to shoot at Former President Trump? Is America experiencing a national security crisis? Chad Robichaux and his son, Hunter Robichaux, join Pastor Allen on his podcast to discuss these topics and how Christ-followers need to view the problems we face through a biblical perspective. “Christians need to go and vote—and vote biblically. However, the problems we are going to face in America are not going to be solved in Washington, D.C. Where the problems in America will be solved is in people's homes, and their communities, and their churches,” Chad told Pastor Allen, “If people in communities can't come to their church for truth, where do they go?” Chad is a former Force Recon Marine, a Department of Defense contractor, and the president and founder of Mighty Oaks Foundation. His son, Hunter, is a United States Marine Corps “ANGLICO” veteran and the Director of Mighty Oaks International. We are not in a war against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12) The problems we face are spiritual and require spiritual solutions.

Get Ready: The King Is Coming! [Featuring John Rich]
“My hair was standing up on my arms while I was listening to this song. It felt like I didn't even write it,” John Rich told Pastor Allen in this podcast. Rich is a country singer who felt inspired by the Holy Spirit to write his new song, “Revelation.” It contains a warning for believers to wake up, humble themselves, and repent before Christ returns. He describes what it was like to receive this message for the world, and how he felt led to proclaim it to as many people as possible. The Church has been silent in the face of evil for far too long. It’s time for us to take a stand and be overcomers in a culture of chaos, not overlookers.

The Olympics, the Truth about Toxic Masculinity, and the War with Hamas
Cultural norms continue to shift at a rapid rate. Organizations and people openly mock Christianity—even at the Olympics—putting persecuted Christians at even greater risk of harm. Hamas raped Israeli women, murdered babies, and took hostages, but Israel is called "evil" for fighting back and defending their nation. Men are being emasculated and are told that the qualities and desires God gave them are "oppressive" and "toxic." In this podcast, Pastor Allen offers a biblical perspective on these topics and more. "How do we integrate our Christianity with our culture? There are too many voices that say they shouldn't be integrated; they should be separated. That's insane!"
