There are many opinions about signs and wonders in the Church today, so we thought we could try to sort some of this out on the Podcast. The Holy Spirit was given to the Church, and His benefits are fruits and gifts. There are those who feel some of His gifts were removed when the Bible became a reality. However, there is no evidence of that in Scripture. My guest, Dr. Jay Christianson of HighBeam Ministry, talks about this with me in this episode.

In this Thinking Out Loud episode, Pastor Walt talks about the evil in our institutions. Evil has strong power and influence over earthly governments. In America, we are moving from a Christian nation to a pagan nation. The church doesn’t talk about this, but it's Biblical that we are in a battle and a war. We war against principalities and powers. We face an enemy and that enemy is infiltrating our governments. The writing is on the wall for America in a culture that's trying to squeeze out the Gospel. Thinking Out Loud with Walt McFadden Walt McFadden, Pastor of Cityview Church in Minneapolis, is a no-nonsense kind of guy who takes no prisoners when it comes to the Truth. Pastor Walt likes to ‘Think Out Loud’ about the Bible and how it can impact a community through the proper application of Spiritual Principles. You will find an honest response to some of the most difficult questions facing Christians today. Visit Cityview Church

Too often, our understanding of the origins of the practices we do in the Church. is lacking. For example, Baptism is one of those practices that comes to us prior to New Testament times.

Dr. Jay Christianson of HighBeam Ministry, is with me in this episode to discuss the origins of Baptism.

Blind spots in driving can present a problem, especially if you are turning or changing lanes and don’t see other cars in that blind spot. In our lives, we have blind spots that keep us from change or perpetually hinder us from moving old behavior to the new behavior in Christ.

Every day, more than 22 veterans take their own lives due to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), highlighting a significant mental health crisis among returning service members. Many veterans express feelings of longing for the camaraderie and brotherhood experienced during their time in combat, often missing the deep connection formed within their units. This episode of Operation HighGround discusses the challenges veterans face, including the lack of understanding and support from the Church and civic organizations. Executive Director Rick Norling emphasizes the potential for local Churches to provide healing and outreach, encouraging veteran involvement to help reintegrate them into civilian life. Operation HighGround Operation HighGround is a nonprofit organization that seeks to reach out to the most unreachable veterans who may not be interested in accepting help for themselves, but who would proudly jump at an opportunity to help other veterans. Operation HighGround is unique … not only in the method of involving our homeless veterans, but in the way we engage our sponsors, providing a win-win approach for all. We seek to improve and re-purpose existing state or federal sites that may currently be under-utilized. We are prepared to use vacant land for modular housing in cases where government-owned buildings are not readily available. The veterans are taught skills by working on the reparation or building of living quarters, which is then used for medium- to longer-term transitional housing. We partner with other established organizations to assist with the screening and treatment of issues for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder or chemical dependency issues. Our sponsors assist in providing job opportunities for the newly trained veterans. This program also assists with the reintegration of veterans and their families. Visit Operation HighGround

Idols have always been a part of the human experience. In fact, the First and Second Commandments talk about not creating them or replacing God with them. Yet, throughout the history of God’s relationship with Israel, idols were first and foremost in God’s citation to Israel over their relationship with Him. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Jay Christianson, CEO of HighBeam Ministry, about idols, and their prominence in the world around us.

Francis Schaeffer was a was an American Evangelical Theologian, Philosopher, and Presbyterian Pastor, and wrote a book called, “How Should We Then Live? The Rise and Decline of Western Thought and Culture.”  My friend and colleague, Pastor Walt McFadden, and I did this podcast episode based upon a sermon Pastor Walt preached on “How Then Shall We Live,” a take-off from the title of Schaeffer’s book. Pastor Walt outlines some of the changes that Jesus told His disciples would happen following His departure, and those changes were directly about how to live in the culture around us.

What do you do when the place meant to bring healing is where you were hurt the most? In this episode, we dive into the reality of church hurt: sharing raw stories, hard truths, and the spiritual battle behind offense and betrayal. But this isn’t where the story ends. We also talk about how, through Scripture and real-life experience, we explore a path toward healing: choosing to bear with one another, extend forgiveness, and move forward in freedom the way Christ has forgiven us.

One of the issues I have faced throughout my ministerial career is narcissism. I worked for, I worked around, and I partnered with narcissistic people all my life. I just couldn’t get away from them. I was subject to their power games, their manipulation, and ultimately their attitudes of, “I am in control.”  I hated it, and I hate to see people today subject to the pain of environments where power is all about control. In this episode, Dr. Nathan Unruh speaks with Dr. Craig Piso, a man who knows about power, and has written a book called, ‘Healthy Power: Pathways to Success in Work, Love and Life.’ Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed Guests Listen to the Latest Episode of Challenging the Culture with Truth Podcast!

Brain health is so important. The Apostle Paul said in Romans 12:2, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” In this episode, interviewer Dr. Nathan Unruh talks with Dr. Shanana Alibhai about our brains, our need to challenge how we treat our brains, and how we think.
