As Roe Crumbles, We Look to the Road Ahead – Part 2

November 3, 2022

Ever since the bad law known as Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court, the current administration has wanted to codify the right to an abortion that would allow this shameful act from conception through birth and perhaps beyond. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Janet Porter, founder of Faith2Action, quotes Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He said, “Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless if we are silent in this hour.” The people of God need to rise up in defense of the unborn.

As Roe Crumbles, We Look to the Road Ahead – Part 1

November 2, 2022

After Roe v. Wade crumbled to the ground on June 24, 2022, nearly 20 states passed laws protecting unborn babies. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Janet Porter, the architect behind The Heartbeat Bill, rejoices that so many states have protected babies. A federal Heartbeat bill would protect children in the womb, even in the darkest blue states like California, Michigan, and New York. Proverbs 24:11 commands us to “rescue those being carried away to slaughter.” The church needs to rise up now and be a voice for the voiceless.

Abortion Pill Reversal: A Second Chance at Life

October 28, 2022

As a college freshman, Rebekah Hagan found herself pregnant with her second child. Already an unwed mother to her son, Eli, whom she had when she was seventeen, Rebekah was overwhelmed and fearful. On today’s edition of Family Talk, she shares with our own Dr. Tim Clinton that she proceeded with the steps to have a medication abortion with the rationale that she would rather face her Heavenly Father later, than her earthly father’s disapproval now. After taking the abortion pill at a nearby Planned Parenthood, she had instant regret. In God’s providence, Rebekah found the website AbortionPillReversal.com, and was connected with a pro-life doctor who prescribed progesterone to counteract the deadly abortion pill. Eight months later, Zechariah, her healthy baby boy, was born.

Don’t Miss Your Moment – Part 2

September 27, 2022

When Cleopas and his wife talked to Jesus on the road to Emmaus that first Easter morning, initially they didn’t recognize Him. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Pastor Clayton King surmises what prompted them to finally recognize their Savior. After Jesus led his followers in that unique 7-mile-long Bible study, He broke bread, passing it to them with His palm facing upward, and they saw for the first time His nail-scarred wrists. Have your eyes and hearts been open to the Lord just as Cleopas and his wife’s were in Luke 24?

Don’t Miss Your Moment – Part 1

September 26, 2022

For the past two years, we’ve all had a lot on our plates. Skyrocketing inflation. Political upheaval. And, of course, the dreaded COVID pandemic. Some of us are frustrated and anxious, thinking that we have missed our moment in life. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Pastor Clayton King brings a message of encouragement. He preaches from Luke 24, where Jesus appeared to two of His downcast followers, Cleopas and his wife, on their walk to Emmaus. Jesus had just risen from the dead, yet they were unaware, and thus, despondent. Rather than dramatically announce His resurrection in downtown Jerusalem for all to see, Jesus personally revealed the Good News to these two obscure followers. He will lift your countenance as well.

Surviving Suicide Loss

September 21, 2022

According to Rita Schulte (SHOOL-tee), her high school sweetheart, Mike, was “superman.” Not only was he an accomplished dentist, but a loving husband and father who was involved in several ministries and led Bible studies. But, after developing and battling paranoia and insomnia, Mike became clinically depressed and took his own life. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Rita shares that in the weeks and months after her husband’s death, it felt like a bomb went off in her life. She was non-functional and drowning in guilt. As Rita began the healing process, she learned the key was not to focus on what happened to her, but to examine what the Lord was doing in and through her.

Christ-Centered Higher Education that Impacts the World with Truth – Part 2

August 19, 2022

In a world that celebrates grievous sins and punishes biblical truth, the need for a solid Christian college education has never been more vital. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Donald Sweeting, chancellor and former president of Colorado Christian University, continues highlighting the importance of a Christian education and urges young people, like the wise man in Scripture, to build their lives upon the rock of Jesus Christ. Even though the government threatens to strip financial aid from students who attend God-honoring schools like Colorado Christian University, now is the time to act courageously.
