Bringing 20-Somethings Back into Faith

Many people are talking about how to reach the millennial generation and bring them back to the church. But how many people are talking to them? Today Susie is joined by author Drew Dyck, who’s done substantial research on the topic and spoken to the youth themselves. They’ll unpack their own faith journeys, as well as what kept them in – or drew them back to – the church.

The Ministry of Music

We take your calls and explore the songs God is using to speak to us. It’s an hour of music and worship, on Live the Promise. We’ll also be joined in-studio by special recording artist Nicole Serrano, who shares her gift of music.

Plan for Eternity

Grace Reif — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 05:45:02 +0000

Is this all you’re living for? For years, Pastor Paul Tripp understood we were ‘hardwired for forever.’ But he didn’t understand that it was more than a valuable insight. It is a practical tool to help us face the disappointment of everyday life. Today he and Susie will dive into surviving and thriving in the middle of your story, with the final chapter of heaven in view. Instead of embracing the world’s motto—’you only live once’—we unpack the biblical truth of the world as a broken place, longing for a second chance. You’ll be encouraged to relax into the eternal story God is writing for you. Paul’s book is Forever.

Key Scriptures: Ecclesiastes 3:11; Psalm 90

Un-Planned: From Planned Parenthood to Pro-Life

Grace Reif — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 05:45:55 +0000

Abby Johnson quit her job in October 2009. That simple act became a national news story because Abby was the director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas. After participating in her first actual abortion procedure, Abby walked across the road to join the Coalition for Life. Today she joins Susie for an eye-opening discussion on the abortion issue and to share how, by God’s grace, she became UnPlanned. We’ll also hear a special interview and worship session featuring Sidewalk Prophets.

Intimacy With God

Grace Reif — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:45:26 +0000

Our calling as a child of God is not wrapped up in rituals. It’s not a checklist of “spiritual” things that we complete, and living the Christian life that way leaves us feeling just as empty as before. So what does walking with God look like? How can we be intimate with Him? Today Susie and Pastor Greg Paul explore the powerful truth that God is our Father, and He wants us to lean in, stay close, and be Close Enough to Hear God Breathe.

Key Scriptures: Luke 1:46 ff.; Psalm 23

What God Thinks When We Fail

Grace Reif — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 05:45:53 +0000

We’ve all had those face-in-the-dirt experiences when things fall apart, relationships end, and we’re left wondering what does my Father think? When we make poor choices that send our lives or finances into a ditch, does God stand by with a disapproving look? Or does He lean in, lift us up again, and keep loving us completely? Today Susie talks with Stephen C. Roy, associate professor of theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, about his new book, What God Thinks When We Fail.

Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 4:1-5; Numbers 20:1-13

The 5 Love Languages

Grace Reif — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 05:45:03 +0000

Marriage should be based on love, right? But does it seem as though you and your spouse are speaking two different languages? Today Susie talks with marriage and family expert Dr. Gary Chapman about his book, The 5 Love Languages. They talk about identifying, understanding, and speaking a spouse’s primary love language–quality time, words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service, or physical touch. By learning the five love languages, you and your spouse will discover your unique love languages and learn practical steps in truly loving each other.

Key Scriptures: Philippians 2:5-8
