There are many enemies in America today, and some of them are seen as good causes. Most of these contemporary causes have an unseen base to them that many people do not see. This enemy has been around since the beginning of time, and is most successful when he does not get exposed. This unseen enemy has one secret that is never talked about … it is the fact that this enemy has been defeated. The o...

What is discernment? In this episode, Pastor Walt thinks out loud and helps us understand what discernment is. He explains that discernment is the ability to differentiate between what is of God and what is not of God. There are two sides … God and Good, Satan and Evil. Satan actually presents himself as a righteous entity, so how do we know when we’re on the right side of truth? You’ll find that...

It’s hard to find people today who will give commentary on race without a bias. It’s even harder to find commentary on race from a solidly Biblical worldview. Bill Green grew up in Memphis, not far from where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr was killed. His family moved to Los Angles and lived in Watts where the riots took place in the late 60s.  Bill has worked in higher education for the past few deca...

In this episode, Larry shares that he is troubled with some theology that is being preached today. How can various ministers vary so widely on issues when the Holy Spirit is supposed to be the driving force behind the Word of God? How can ministers and teachers read the same Bible but come to different conclusions when they have the same Holy Spirit helping them interpret God’s Word?  Theology, wh...

Ever feel alone or isolated as a parent? Between navigating your kids’ misbehavior in public, enduring other judgmental parents, and the demands of daily life, staying isolated can often feel easier than attempting social connection and events. Yet parenting without a solid community can bring feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Just like our kids, we as parents need to feel safety an...

The bottom line is an expression we often use to illustrate the end of a matter. The bottom line in business is the amount of profit or loss the company has experienced. In the church, the bottom line should be about how effective have we been in presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Join Larry in this episode as he talks about ‘the bottom line’ for Christians and the church. Challenging the Cult...

This episode deals with the idea that as believers we need to stand against the darkness in our day. It seems as if evil has engulfed our land … from our churches to the halls of Washington D.C.  It also seems as if we are losing the battle on every front, but that is not the case from God’s Perspective. He is allowing the evil to permeate all areas of life to show us what happens when we abandon...

The optimum word we all use these days is “safety.”  We use it in greeting each other by saying, “are you staying safe?” Or when we depart, we might say, “well, stay safe!” Of course, we want people to be safe from harm, from disease, and from anything that may put us at risk. But is that really a possibility … to be safe? Is life about safety? Can we really determine to live our lives in safety?...

In almost every political arena we hear the debate over and over about Christians being involved in politics. The debate has good arguments on both sides of the issue, but I have always formulated the opinion that we cannot abandon the policies and laws of the land and expect to keep the religious liberty that we have enjoyed up to now. Yet, there is an attitude most Christian conservatives have t...

What's it like to be a cop? Much of our discussion about defunding the police is a radical idea that has no basis in reality. Yes, we have some issues in policing that have not been solved or addressed for decades, but the police are real people like you and me. Police are not our enemy … like so many in the media and in fringe groups advocating their abolition. In this episode, Larry talks with a...

We have an epidemic of despair in our culture. People from all walks of life and all ages are experiencing despair. Mental illness is rising in our country, and in some areas suicide rates are higher than homicide rates. Why? Why now? What's the change that people feel in our culture now? In this episode, Pastor Walt thinks out loud and helps us understand what's happening in our culture now that'...

Jesus told us to go into all the world and preach the good news to everyone. In other words, go into the world and be an influence with what He has taught us. Are we an influence with what Jesus has taught us? How we influence others is a result of how we have been influenced. Has the Cross influenced us and changed our lives? Join Larry in this episode as he talks about the influence of the Cross...

One of the first questions people ask when they are studying Bible Prophecy is, “Where is America in the last days?” Well, that's a good question, because Scripture tells us that in the last days all nations will stand against Israel. No nation stands with Israel … only the Lord stands with Israel. So, does America implode? Well, listen in to this episode with Larry and his guest Chris Heeb and fi...

The Tempter spoke to TWO at the Tree, using plural pronouns (you-both). Both ate and died. But they responded in very different ways. She ate only after being deceived.

We start with a correct understanding of what happened in the Garden of Eden back in the beg...

Pro-Life Action Minist...

We are accustomed to knowing and trusting in our institutions to keep us safe, and to give us the right information to make informed decisions. All of that is up for grabs today. How we approach these troub...

Marriages end in divorce because men are cheating on their wives, or do not take responsibility as a leader in the home. Pastor Walt McFadden discusses what men are facing today, and how men can escape the trap of defining manhood by s...

There are two prominent prostitutes in the Bible. Prostitutes? Say, what? There are many risqué Stories in the Bible, and the Story of Israel shows that She was the most prominent prostitute. Israel was unfaithful to God. In this episode, Chris Heeb helps us understand that we are the Bride of Christ, and we will suffer the consequences if we break the marriage vows. Chris explains that the Wall S...
