Catastrophic events can unify us for a common cause, which we’ve seen throughout this pandemic.

On today’s podcast, Bucky looks at current causes of division, where they might lead, and what the Bible has to say about it.

The effects of COVID-19 present a number of negative possibilities. So, it’s no wonder that anxiety levels are high. Fear thrives on the uncertainty of the unknown.

How can you know for sure that something is the will of God? As Christians, we tend to treat God’s will like a mystery we have to solve. In reality, God wants us to be in the center of His will, which makes knowing His will easier than you may think.

Your testimony is a valuable resource. Like the Apostle Paul, we can use our stories to share Jesus in everyday life. In today’s podcast, Bucky shares his personal testimony and talks about why it’s important to tell our own stories of salvation in Jesus Christ.

Adversity is not something that only a select few Christians face. Any believer living out their faith will experience trials of one kind or another. Bucky gives three ways to build your faith when dealing with adversity.

Failure is inevitable. However, a one-time event doesn’t have to turn into a lifetime. So, the question is not if we’ll fail, but if we’ll get up after we fail. On this episode, Bucky explains from God’s Word how to recover from failure.

The provocative Super Bowl halftime show with Shakira and Jennifer Lopez was offensive to many. But why are we shocked that soft porn has hit primetime television?

And what does the Bible say about all this...

Articles with provocative titles get shared across social media, but often the information in them doesn’t match the facts. When you combine that with our volatile political environment - it’s a mess. Bucky discusses what’s feeding the frenzy of our clickbait driven culture and looks at how Christians are adding to the chaos.

Too often, marriage is associated with misery. That’s not what God intends marriage to be. Bucky talks about practices that make for a great marriage. And, he answers a listener question, “What should I do if my husband doesn’t want to be the spiritual leader?”

Do you know what you don’t know? Of course not! Many Christians are easily deceived because they don’t know enough about the truths of Scripture. In today’s podcast Bucky discusses the nature of deception and how believers often deceive themselves.

Being a man of God is under attack in our culture. America’s “man problem” is showing up at home, work, and church. Bucky discusses toxic masculinity, biblical manhood, and how Christian men can man up!

When a celebrity or a politician talks about faith, what do they mean? Many live in ways that oppose God's Word. There are, however, public figures who drastically changed after proclaiming saving faith. Bucky discusses the marks of genuine Christianity in their lives.

What the world calls salvation, often isn’t biblical. Many public figures say they are Christians, yet their actions and stated beliefs don’t line up with God’s Word. And it’s not just celebrities.

Bucky continues his conversation with Dr. Gary Frazier, author of "It Could Happen Tomorrow: Future Events That Will Shake the World."
