TOO OFTEN, we Christians are terrible ambassadors for our king. We prefer that those with the greatest needs clean themselves up a bit before admitting them into our congregations. David and Tonya Holt have been on the outside looking in—dealing with various issues like drugs, abuse, and homelessness, which can open to the door for other problems of a spiritual nature. They discuss their ministry,...

FAIRY TALES aren’t all Mother Goose and Snow White. There is a dark side to those stories that can be traced to the entities in the unseen realm. Dr. Judd Burton joins us for our annual Halloween episode together, and he explains that the fantastic stories of witches, giants, and trolls that we heard as children can be traced back to the rebellion of the fallen spirits. Listen to our past Hallowee...

MOST OF US have had an experience that can be described as night terrors or sleep paralysis. For some, however, it’s a common, ongoing experience—one that makes going to bed a living hell. Vicki Joy Anderson, author of the new book They Only Come Out at Night: Exposing the Dark Weapon of Sleep Paralysis, digs deep into scripture to shine a light on the dark entities and “shadow people” who terrori...

CHINA IS an imminent threat to our way of life. That may sound like a return to a 1950s way of thinking, but it’s true. LTC Robert Maginnis, author of the new book Kings of the East: China's Plan to Eliminate America and Impose a Communist World Order, explains how China’s history, economic power and coming military superiority are being deployed to make China the world’s leading power and impose...

ON THIS DAY in 1683, the king of Poland, John III Sobieski led a cavalry charge that saved Vienna, and probably all of Western Europe, from the army of the Ottoman Empire. Had Vienna fallen, the history of the last 350 years would be very different. John Sobieski is just one of the Christian leaders who stood against Islamic armies over the last 1,400 years. Those we’ve heard of have had their rep...

SPIRITUAL WARFARE is a foreign concept to many Christians. Others assume that every obstacle we face in life has a demon attached. The truth is somewhere in the middle. Mike Kerr of Hear the Watchmen Ministries joins us for a special midweek program to tell us about the Advanced Spiritual Warfare Training Workshop October 16–18, 2022 in Jeffersonville, Indiana, just across the Ohio River from Loui...

EVEN SECULAR researchers admit that UFOs (or UAPs, as they’re now called) behave more like interdimensional craft than ships from outside our solar system. Christians, who should have been among the first to point this out, still tend to ignore UFOs altogether. Ali Siadatan, producer of the groundbreaking 2006 documentary UFOs Angels & Gods, was one of the first to publicly connect the Bible and “...

AMERICA IS arguably the most powerful nation in history. So, why isn’t it mentioned in end times prophecy? Jackie Alnor argues that it is, but it’s been hiding in plain sight. She joins us to discuss her thought-provoking new book The United States of Israel, and to explain why the lost tribes of Israel aren’t lost at all—they’ve been here all along, in the “melting pot” called the United States....

Somebody really, really wanted the ruler of Jerusalem around 1300 BC to die. And he was probably a Hebrew. Dr. Doug Petrovich, epigrapher and author of The World’s Oldest Alphabet and Origins of the Hebrews, explains that the curse inscription found at Jerusalem is not, as it’s been described, proto-Canaanite, but another example of very early Hebrew script—more evidence to refute the claim that M...
