Christianity and Perimenopause: Staying Faithful When Your Hormones Crash Out | Hilary Morrison
What does it look like to remain faithful to Christ when your hormones feel like they’re crashing out? In this first episode of a two-part series on perimenopause and menopause, Alisa shares her own experience with hot flashes, sleep disruption, anxiety, and intense mental and emotional symptoms—and how learning to care for both her spiritual and physical health changed everything. She is joined by physician assistant Hillary Morrison, who has spent more than a decade working in functional and integrative medicine. Together, they discuss what actually happens to a woman’s hormones during perimenopause, common symptoms to watch for, why some women struggle more than others, and the connection between hormonal changes, sleep, mood, weight, and overall health. They also discuss hormone replacement therapy, progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, testing options, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid and gut health, and how women can advocate for themselves when seeking medical care. Most importantly, Alisa and Hillary consider these questions through a Christian worldview. Hormonal changes may make obedience more difficult, but they do not define us or excuse sin. At the same time, caring for the physical body God has given us is not somehow less spiritual. Whether you are currently in perimenopause, preparing for it, or trying to better understand a woman you love, this conversation offers practical information, biblical encouragement, and hope for navigating this season faithfully. ----------------------------------------------------------------- This video is sponsored by: RANGE LEATHER American-Made Craftsmanship from Wyoming Go to www.rangeleather.com for more information Use my code: ALISA GOOD RANCHERS American Meat Delivered Go to https://go.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.

The Bible is clear: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all
The enemy is incredibly deceptive, often convincing people that darkness is just "misunderstood beauty" or "secret knowledge" waiting to be embraced. But the Bible is clear: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. We are called to forsake spiritual darkness, not flirt with it. #SpiritualWarfare #Discernment #WalkInTheLight #BiblicalTruth #ChristianFaith
Baylor, Worse Than Berkeley? Inside Their War on Christianity
What happens when a university that claims to stand for Christianity makes it nearly impossible to host an event defending the truth of the Christian faith? And could it possibly involve extortion? That's exactly what happened to us earlier this week (for the first time in 20 years of college visits!), and Frank is bringing the receipts! What started as a frustrating encounter with Baylor's administration has exposed some troubling questions about what's really being taught at this "Christian" university. From administrative roadblocks to unbiblical professors and courses, Frank reveals why there's much more at stake than just a cancelled event. In many ways, Baylor is waging a war on Christianity. You'll learn: -- What six obstacles did Baylor's administration put in the way of Frank's visit? -- What similar problems did Ratio Christi President Corey Miller encounter with Baylor? -- How is Baylor violating its own policies on human sexuality? -- What unbiblical courses and degree programs are being offered at Baylor and who is teaching them? -- Why is cultural Marxism so destructive to communities? -- Why did Baylor recently return a grant of $700,000? -- Why did progressive "Christian" Professor Greg Garrett wrongly criticize J.K. Rowling on X? -- Why is it sometimes more dangerous to send your kids to a compromised Christian school than a secular university? While this topic is difficult to address, it's too important to ignore, and Frank is just getting started! Don't miss the next episode as he addresses objections related to academic freedom, reveals how Baylor is violating their own core values on inclusion and diversity, explains what the Bible actually teaches on these issues, and MUCH more.

Modern Apostles and Prophets? Examining the New Apostolic Reformation | Brandon Kimber
The New Apostolic Reformation has become increasingly influential in churches, worship music, conferences, and even politics—but what exactly is it, and how can Christians recognize its teachings? In this episode, I’m joined by filmmaker Brandon Kimber, director and editor of the American Gospel films, to discuss the newest installment, American Gospel: Spirit & Fire, an 18-episode documentary series examining the New Apostolic Reformation. We talk about the defining beliefs of the NAR, including modern-day apostles and prophets, claims of new revelation, the five-fold ministry, prosperity theology, and the movement’s understanding of spiritual authority. We also discuss why many leaders associated with these teachings reject the NAR label, and how Christians can evaluate the movement based on its actual theology and practices rather than labels alone. We also dig into one of the biggest questions listeners had after my previous episode: What exactly is a “NAR song”? Brandon explains how NAR theology can find its way into worship music through Bethel Music and other ministries, and we discuss how Christians and church leaders can think carefully and biblically about the songs they sing. Finally, we address the growing intersection between NAR leaders and conservative politics, the danger of compromising gospel clarity for political influence, and why faithfulness to the biblical gospel must remain central. If you’ve been wondering what the NAR is, how to identify it, or why Spirit & Fire was created, this conversation will help you understand the movement and the theological concerns surrounding it.
