  • Amazing!

    I listen to this radio station regularly and absolutely love it. Chris Arnzen’s voice is not overbearing like some radio stations, but Chris’ voice is very easy to understand and the content on the radio station is 10 out of 10, I highly recommend you give 1 episode a go and you will be back for more great content in the future!

  • Excellent Program

    I may be biased because I have been interviewed by Chris before, but I was a long time listener before that. He is a great interviewer, and serves Christ. I really appreciate his conversation skills and am always left refreshed after I listen to one of his interviews. I’m grateful for his dedication and would highly recommend his podcast to Christians and Non-Christians alike.

  • Excellent! Addresses vital neglected subjects with faithful biblically-rooted guests!

    Highly recommended! Chris is a skilled broadcaster with deep biblical convictions. He is honest enough to admit without any shame or deception that he has these pre-commitments and convictions (unlike so many in the enemedia who claim to be merely impartial). Chris is fair-minded to guests who differ and allows guests (even those he may not totally agree with) to make their arguments clearly and at length. He also asks hard follow up questions and won’t let anyone get off the hook easily. This p... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

March 18, 2026 Show with Dr. Corey W. Johnson on “The Glory of a True Church by Benjamin Keach”
Q: Did Keach advocate for strict boundaries on elder authority versus congregational consent?
The guest explains that Keach favored an elder-led structure with congregational consent, avoiding extreme elder-rule or democratic absolutism, and recognizing the historic church practice of shared governance.
March 24, 2026 Show with Pooyan Mehrshahi on “The Challenges of Boldly Declaring Biblical Truth Without Compromise in the United Kingdom”
Q: How is the UK government affecting evangelism and open-air preaching today?
The guest explained that there are geographic differences, with some areas like Birmingham or London presenting more challenge, and noted that police protection can be inconsistent, requiring careful, compliant, and winsome evangelism.
March 17, 2026 Show with Chris Brauns on “The Way of Repentance”
Q: Does repentance always imply a change in lifestyle that affects salvation, or can it be a marker of ongoing sanctification?
Repentance is both a gift and a duty that marks the Christian life; it is evidence of true faith and ongoing transformation, not a one-time act, and it should be manifest in sincere turning to Christ and living out obedience.
March 16, 2026 Show with Pooyan Mehshahi on “Born Zoroastrian in Iran, Born Again in the UK & Reaching the Persian-Speaking People with the Gospel of Grace”
Q: How did you come to embrace the Doctrine of Sovereign Grace and Reformed Theology?
Through reading the Bible, a shift from Armenian to Reformed views occurred as he encountered passages about predestination and the nature of the gospel, followed by guidance from pastors and his own study, ultimately leading to a confessional commitment to the 2nd London Baptist Confession of Faith.
March 25, 2026 Show with Chris Brauns on “Unpacking Forgiveness: Biblical Answers for Complex Questions & Deep Wounds”
Q: What is the most serious misunderstanding of forgiveness in the church?
Forgiveness is often treated as a private therapeutic technique we do for our own benefit, detached from the relationship and the justice that should accompany severe offenses; true forgiveness is gospel-shaped, involves reconciliation, and acknowledges ongoing consequences.
