The movie adaptation of Francine Rivers’ Christian fiction book “Redeeming Love” is causing some controversy. The story parallels the book of Hosea in the Bible and shows a beautiful picture of God’s love for us—even when we are in the darkest pit.

Now that I’ve watched the movie myself, I want to share my thoughts about it with you.

Episode 66 - The Controversy of “Redeeming Love”: My Thoughts

Religious liberty is a bedrock of our values in the United States. It’s enshrined in the First Amendment to the Constitution. But the ability to freely exercise your Christian faith is under attack, both in culture and in courtrooms across the country.

Fortunately, many of those challenges are being thwarted by the Alliance Defending Freedom, which has won 13 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. Kristen Waggoner is an attorney with the ADF and joins me on this episode to tell us about some of the battles they’ve been fighting—and why they’re important to you.

Kristen says activists are weaponizing the law and the justice system to target those who hold traditional Christian beliefs. I want you to be able to recognize threats to your religious liberties and Kristen is an expert at helping you understand your constitutional rights.

Episode 67: The Battle for Religious Freedom

International Women’s Day celebrates the cultural, political and socioeconomic achievements of women. But the world’s definition of a successful woman can look very different from God’s definition.

On this episode of Fearless, I talk about Scriptures and women—in the Bible and in my own life—that have helped me better understand what it means to be a Godly woman. 

As women in Ukraine and other countries face unimaginable hardships today, I’m grateful for the simple blessings I and so many other women in the U.S. enjoy. I’m also thankful I don’t have to judge my worth by the world’s standards, but instead find my value as a woman in knowing that I’m a child of God. 

Whether you’re a woman or a man, I hope what I share on this episode inspires you to live boldly for Jesus in a world that has a lot of wrong ideas about men and women.

Episode 68: International Women’s Day: What Kind of Woman Do You Want To Be?

Progressive Christianity is a movement of Christians who are reexamining, redefining and often rejecting the core claims of the historic Christian Gospel but retaining the title “Christian.” My guest on this episode has personal experience of how dangerous Progressive Christianity can be. 

Alisa Childers was a member of the Christian band ZOEgirl and she’s written a book called “Another Gospel?” She started researching the truth of historic Christianity after the pastor of the church she was attending began leading members into Progressive Christianity.

I want you to be able to recognize red flags that go up if Progressive Christianity is starting to get a foothold in your church or in a friend’s faith walk. Alisa identified some of those red flags and talked about how you can respond when she spoke during morning devotions at Samaritan’s Purse earlier this month.

Episode 69: Spiritual Deconstruction and Progressive Christianity: A Talk With Alisa Childers

I like to call John and Korey Cooper the “rock star it couple.” They’ve been married 25 years, they’re members of the Christian band Skillet and they’re relentless defenders of truth. 

John and Korey have been setting an example of how to have a Christ-centered marriage, raise Godly kids and be a light for Jesus in a dark world for years. I’ve seen firsthand John and Korey praying for and ministering to people at some of my dad’s outreaches. 

The Coopers are fun to talk to but also serious about the issues facing the Church and our families today. I hope you’ll laugh along with us and be challenged by what they had to say on this episode.

Episode 70: Skillet’s John and Korey Cooper Don’t Back Down From Defending Christianity

My neighbor stopped over recently with her young son while we had the TV news on and it was reporting about the situation in Ukraine. She asked me if I let my kids watch the news. I told her I do.

I realized with the sensitive topics which headline the news each evening, this could be a question many families struggle with. On this episode I’m going to tell you why—and how—Corey and I watch the news with our kids.
