Hour 1: Embracing The Truth
Join us as apologist Abdu Murray, a former devout Muslim, walks us through the challenges that Islam brings to both believers and culture at large. How do we respond with both truth and grace? Learn to think critically and biblically as we step into our role as an Ambassador for Christ.
Hour 2: Life and Liberty
This hour, we start by looking at some of the stories making headlines before talking with Dr. Michael New about some new abortion figures for 2025 and whether the future looks brighter for pro-lifers. We round out the hour talking with Wesley Smith about some of his more recent columns where he addressed these questions: Why did the medical Journal Lancet recently slam ‘far-righters’? Should patents with dementia be euthanized? Join us for a great hour of conversation.
