  • Biblically sound

    Trustworthy practical application of scripture. God is using this ministry powerfully. Preaching on the topic of sin and righteousness is essential. Thank you for rightly dividing the Word of Truth.

  • Whitnessing for Christmas part 3

    I’ve been listening to running to win on radio and podcasts for a long time. I’m glad the programs still air on radio and fear the day will soon arrive when politicians outlaw ministry on the airwaves either because of the Charlatans who claim to be for Christ but are just taking advantage of people or - because they hate Christianity.

  • bad timing

    At a time when this country is on the brink of being destroyed by those who seek to over-turn our democracy, it was poor timing to criticize President Trump for his lack of spiritual maturity that some folks who had Godly parents enjoy. A much wiser approach would have been to enjoin God’s people to lift him up and pray that God would bring Godly counselors into President Trump’s life so he could lead this nation at a time we are desperate for someone with the backbone to stand up!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Honest Doubts and God's Hidden Purposes – Part 1 of 2
Q: If miracles happen or not, what is the point of faith according to Hebrews 11?
Faith often means believing and remaining faithful even when miracles don't occur, and enduring persecution or hardship with hope in God's overarching plan.
Honest Doubts and God's Hidden Purposes – Part 1 of 2
Q: Are you saying I'm not supposed to ask God for things and healing and blessings and promotions and a spouse?
We are invited to ask God for anything, but the text notes that He may not grant every request; true peace and trust come when we align with His purposes and trust His wisdom.
When The Answer Is Denied – Part 2 of 3
Q: What should we do when the answer to our prayers is no?
We should seek to understand that God's 'no' is often accompanied by grace and strength, helping us endure our burdens.
The Discipline Of Silence – Part 1 of 3
Q: Why do we wait in silence before the Lord anyway?
We wait in silence because of who God is and due to our own needs for strength and stability.
Christ The Servant – Part 3 of 3
Q: How do we define the enemy in the war against Christmas?
Lutzer questions whether the enemy is secularism or commercialism, urging listeners to consider the true representation of Christ during the holiday.
