  • Great Show! Great Host!

    10 Star if they would allow me to give. This show is one that transcends genres. It is inspiring, hope filled, and emotional. Jenny does a great job interviewing the guest, allowing them to talk, and pulling the emotions out. At the center, though, is the hope that is offered from Christ Jesus.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pagan Threat: Confronting America's Godless Uprising with Lucas Miles, Sr. Director of Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA Faith
Q: What is the seven-step battle plan you reference for ministry today?
The plan centers on strategic church engagement, meeting younger generations where they are (cultivating courage, digital evangelism, and street outreach), and embracing a mindset that the church must adapt its methods while remaining rooted in biblical truth to reach those who are spiritually confused or traumatized.
Pagan Threat: Confronting America's Godless Uprising with Lucas Miles, Sr. Director of Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA Faith
Q: One of the methods you do that Charlie Kirk was so great at is finding some place of agreement before sharing a viewpoint—could you give a practical example?
When engaging someone who is passionate about environmental stewardship, you can acknowledge their heart for creation as a Biblical idea, then show in scripture how stewardship fits within the Creator's mandate, gently guiding the conversation toward biblical foundations rather than confrontation.
Pagan Threat: Confronting America's Godless Uprising with Lucas Miles, Sr. Director of Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA Faith
Q: Yeah, so will you define for our listeners what paganism is, paganism?
Paganism, in a simple sense, is any practice or worship of something other than the true God, including self-worship, and worship of the state or secular ideologies; it encompasses a broad culture that moves away from biblical worship toward other idols, including modern expressions that marginalize Christian faith.
Isaiah 117 House - Faith In Action with Kristi Whitehead
Q: What are the current fundraising efforts you're excited about?
A lemonade stand fundraiser in July with a goal of 50 stands, encouraging kids and families to host stands and raise support for the Isaiah House community.
Isaiah 117 House - Faith In Action with Kristi Whitehead
Q: What is one memorable story from your work that illustrates the impact on a child?
A 12-year-old handed Kristi shoes he had made out of cardboard and asked for a Ken Barbie doll; the moment of providing that doll and a comforting meal highlighted how small recognitions can empower a child and give them a sense of possibility.
