Hour 1: Parenting Well
How do we lay a spiritual foundation that your children will build on for the rest of their days? Dennis and Barbara Rainey will draw on their expertise gleaned through their years of ministry to offer advice on how to help your kids discover who they are in Christ, live wisely and honorably, foster godly connections, and understand God's purpose for their lives.
Hour 2: From Mecca to Christ
Dr. Ahmed Joktan is a medical doctor who turned evangelist. His father is a mufti in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Once set to bring jihad to the world, he came to know Jesus Christ as Savior and wants to bring true peace in Jesus to Muslims and lost people everywhere. Five times he faced death, but God spared him so that he could tell Muslims and lost people worldwide about how Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Matthew Black is a pastor who played a key role in the life of this Saudi physician. Fascinating conversation coming your way on today’s broadcast.
