Introducing Should Americans have more kids? from It Turns Out. Follow the show: It Turns Out The fertility rate in America has fallen more than 20 percent in the last two decades. Why is this happening, and should we try to turn it around? The drop is even more stark, if you look back several decades, to a time when women were having - on average - close to four kids each. Kara is joined by Notre Dame economist Kasey Buckles, who argues that the numbers aren't what they seem. She explains why the post-war "Baby Boom" was actually a historical anomaly, and discusses whether the Trump administration's proposed $5,000 baby bonuses might actually move the needle. Plus, could increasing political divisions between men and women be slowing family formation? And which segments of society are most likely to say they aren’t having the number of children they want?

Why Trusting God Changes Everything | Part 2 Welcome back to another powerful episode of Relevance For Today with Stephen Lewis. In Part 2 of this powerful series on trusting God, Stephen continues unpacking the life-changing question the Holy Spirit asked him during a time of prayer and journaling: "Do you trust Me?" That simple but profound question challenges every believer at some point in their walk with God. In this episode, Stephen dives deeper into what it truly means to trust in the Lord during uncertain times. With so much confusion, fear, and noise in today's world, it is easy to rely on news, opinions, or our own understanding instead of turning to the truth found in God's Word. But Scripture reminds us again and again that true peace, hope, and direction come only from trusting God completely. Through powerful passages like Isaiah 26:3–4, Psalm 37:5, Romans 15:13, and Isaiah 41:10, this message reveals how God strengthens, guides, and protects those who place their full confidence in Him. Stephen also reminds listeners that trusting God means more than just saying the words. It means living for Him daily, committing every area of our lives to Him, and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us through every season of life. When we truly trust the Lord: • Fear begins to lose its power • Peace replaces anxiety • Hope rises through the power of the Holy Spirit • Our lives begin to reflect Christ to the world This episode will challenge you to examine your heart and ask the same question that sparked this series: Do you really trust God with everything? No matter what you're facing today—family struggles, ministry challenges, financial stress, or spiritual battles—God is your refuge, your strength, and your source of peace. Lay the burden at His feet. Trust Him. And watch how He moves in your life.

Why Trusting God Changes Everything | Part 1 Welcome to another powerful episode of Relevance For Today with Stephen Lewis. In this honest and encouraging message, Stephen shares a deeply personal moment from his journaling time with the Lord when the Holy Spirit asked him a powerful question: "Do you trust Me?" That one question changed everything. So many of us face challenges in life—family struggles, financial pressures, misunderstandings, spiritual battles, and seasons where we feel overwhelmed. In those moments, it's easy to rely on our own strength, our own plans, and our own understanding. But Scripture reminds us that real peace and direction come when we fully trust in the Lord. In this first part of the series, Stephen walks listeners through the importance of surrendering our worries, fears, and frustrations to God. He shares practical ways to stay rooted in the Word, guided by the Holy Spirit, and focused on God's purpose instead of the chaos around us. Through powerful passages like Proverbs 3:5–6 and Jeremiah 17:7–8, this message reminds us that when we place our trust in God, we become like trees planted by living water—strong, steady, and fruitful even during difficult seasons. If you've ever asked yourself questions like: Why am I carrying this burden alone? Why do I keep trying to fix everything myself? What would happen if I truly trusted God with it all? Then this message is for you. God never asked us to carry the weight of life alone. When we release our burdens and trust Him completely, He leads us, strengthens us, and gives us peace that surpasses understanding. Take a moment today to pause, reflect, and ask yourself the same question the Holy Spirit asked Stephen: Do you trust God? #TrustGod #FaithInGod #ChristianEncouragement #BibleTeaching #Proverbs3 #TrustInTheLord #FaithMessage #ChristianPodcast #RelevanceForToday #StephenLewis #BiblicalTruth #ChristianMotivation #WalkByFaith #JesusChrist #HolySpiritGuidance #ChristianLiving #FaithOverFear #KingdomMindset #ChristianYouTube #GodsWord

Why Love Is the Foundation of the Christian Faith | Biblical Truth Every Believer Must Know Part 2 Episode 390 In Part 2 of this foundational teaching, Stephen Lewis moves from understanding what biblical love is to confronting how it must be lived out. Love is not just a belief we hold—it is the evidence of a transformed life. If God truly is love, then that love should be visible in how we speak, forgive, serve, endure, and respond—especially when it's difficult. This episode challenges believers to examine whether their faith is producing Christlike love in real, everyday situations. Stephen unpacks how genuine love is revealed through obedience, humility, sacrifice, and truth, reminding listeners that love is not passive, emotional, or conditional—it is active, costly, and rooted in obedience to Jesus. Using Scriptures such as 1 Corinthians 13, John 13:34–35, 1 John 3:16–18, and James 2:17, this message emphasizes that love is the true marker of discipleship. Not gifts. Not titles. Not words—but fruit. This is a call to mature faith, spiritual integrity, and visible Christianity in a watching world. #ChristianLove #BiblicalLove #LoveAsAChristian #ChristianFaith #BibleTeaching #FaithInJesus #JesusChrist #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTruth #Discipleship #ChristianYouTube #ChristianTeaching #GodIsLove #FaithBasedContent #BibleStudy

This episode challenges believers to: Build their faith on a biblical foundation of love Stop letting the world shape their attitudes and reactions Allow the Holy Spirit to produce peace, joy, and Christlikeness Love people without compromising truth Represent Jesus well in chaotic times If you desire to grow deeper in your walk with Christ and live a faith that genuinely reflects Jesus, this message will encourage, correct, and strengthen you. #ChristianLove #BiblicalLove #LoveAsAChristian #ChristianFaith #BibleTeaching #FaithInJesus #JesusChrist #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTruth #Discipleship #ChristianYouTube #ChristianTeaching #GodIsLove #FaithBasedContent #BibleStudy
