  • Crushing

    Something so deeply missing in the core of the universe that the crushing blow of God’s indictment would have to be felt by all those in this world who believe that we have a moral obligation to protect the people who have lost our souls to God’s wrath in this cruel world.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Congressman Mark Harris on faith and public service
Q: How would you encourage Christians to faithfully engage their communities, no matter their vocation? And why does that matter?
Harris says believers should not sit on the sidelines of political and community life. He encourages them to act as salt and light, speak up for biblical principles, and apply those convictions to public issues, including government spending and the national debt.
Congressman Mark Harris on faith and public service
Q: Tell us a little bit about your journey into public office. What initially drew you into this world, and how has the Lord kind of led you along that path to where now you're serving in Congress?
Harris had planned to become a lawyer, but after college and early youth ministry work, he felt called to preach shortly before his wedding. Years of pastoral ministry and leadership in the North Carolina Baptist Convention, including work on the marriage amendment campaign, led him to run for office.
The importance of adoption and foster care
Q: For someone who wants to participate in foster care and adoption, but doesn't know where to start, what would you encourage them to do first?
Quinn advises asking how to help rather than whether to help, and taking practical steps such as foster-care training or respite care. He recommends finding local needs and training opportunities, consulting experienced families, and seeking ways to support children and caregivers through churches and community organizations.
The importance of adoption and foster care
Q: How does scripture shape the way that Christians ought to think about foster care or adoption?
Quinn points to James's instruction to care for widows and orphans and to the biblical imagery of believers being adopted into God's family. He says Christians are called not to close their minds or doors to needs in their communities, while recognizing that not everyone can take on foster or adoptive care.
Meet the ERLC’s New VP, Zack Pruitt
Q: Can you connect the dots for our listeners of how, you know, something we think of is just, you know, our right to say whatever we want to, but how it actually has implications for how we live out our lives as Christians?
Pruitt argues that free speech enables religious liberty and the ability to preach the Gospel. He points to arrests and censorship abroad, as well as online platform moderation, as examples of potential restrictions on religious expression.
