Moody RadioJoin us for a full hour of thought-provoking conversation. We start some of the stories making headlines and pivot to a conversation on the uptick in violence against pregnancy help centers. We will talk with someone who has a close affiliation with a ministry in Washington, D.C. Then we turn our sites to issues of national security. You will hear about a radical group using extreme methods to defend the planet. We will also discuss China’s sharp nuclear buildup. Don’t miss this packed hour of radio.
We start the hour by diving into some of the stories making the news today. We then discuss how to pray specifically for the largest group of influencers in the world – those in the entertainment business. We finish the hour with a report on the Persecuted Church and how we can learn to persevere as they do. Get ready to lengthen your prayer list!!
