Don’t Miss Your Moment – Part 1

Published on: 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.

Fighting Your Battles: Every Christian’s Playbook for Victory – Part 1

Published on: September 22, 2022

Surviving Suicide Loss

Published on: 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.

Moms in Prayer – Part 2

Published on: August 17, 2022

If the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective, how much more potent are the prayers of moms who gather to intercede on behalf of their children? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Fern Nichols and Sally Burke, the founder and president of Moms in Prayer International, continue sharing about their ministry, and urge mothers to walk through the four steps of prayer: praise, silent confession, thanksgiving, and intercession. Matthew 18:20 declares, “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

Moms in Prayer – Part 1

Published on: August 16, 2022

In 1984, Fern Nichols was fearful about sending her two eldest children off to junior high. Realizing that the spiritual warfare would be intense, she asked another mother to pray with her for their kids' protection. That was the humble beginning of Moms in Prayer International, a ministry which now has groups in all 50 states and 140 countries worldwide. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Fern compares the efforts of the four friends in the book of Mark, chapter two, who opened a hole in the roof to get a paralyzed man to Jesus. With the heart behind Moms in Prayer, mothers have a similar desperation and determination to bring their children before Christ in prayer.

How to Reach School Children With the Bible

Published on: August 15, 2022

On June 25, 1962, the Supreme Court ruled that school sponsored prayer was unconstitutional. But did you know that Christians still have the ability to bring biblical teaching and the gospel to school-aged kids during the school day? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Kori Pennypacker, the CEO of Bible2School, shares the mission behind her program and explains how concerned Christians and parents can aid in bringing the Bible to children in their communities. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak

Published on: July 22, 2022

Shannon Bream grew up memorizing Scripture while enrolled in Awana. Her mother first taught her Philippians 2:3, which says, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves.” With God’s providence, after graduating from college and law school, and then struggling as a young lawyer, Shannon persevered in her quest to ‘value others above herself,’ culminating in her landing a plum job as host of Fox News @ Night. In this public forum, Shannon engages viewers and the culture each night to defend truth and righteousness. On today’s edition of Family Talk, she talks to Dr. Tim Clinton about her previous stage fright, her husband’s brain tumor, and her new book, The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, highlighting life lessons from mothers and daughters in Scripture.

A Conversation with a Pro-Life Governor

Published on: July 6, 2022

Even though he grew up as a preacher’s kid, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt didn’t completely turn his life over to Christ until he was in college. Today, the father of six says, “Everything in this world is meaningless compared to our relationship with the Lord.” On today’s edition of Family Talk, Governor Stitt, known as the most pro-life governor in the country, says he signed the toughest abortion ban in America which protects babies from the moment of conception. He thinks it's simply barbaric that states like Colorado and New York legalized abortion on demand up to the moment of birth. His message to a woman who is in a crisis pregnancy: God has a redemptive plan for you and your baby.
