Hour 1: Missional Living: A Prepared Devotional Teaching with Pastor Brian Smith

How do we live out the mission of Jesus in our daily lives? Should we sell everything and go to the unreached people groups around the world? Wildwood Baptist Pastor Brian Smith joins Ken and Deb in the Morning to take us to God's Word to answer the question of what God is calling his followers to and how living on mission is of utmost importance. If you've been confused over your purpose in Christ, this segment will offer direction on how to take those next steps in your walk with Jesus.

Hour 2: A Christian Perspective on the News: A Conversation with Dr. Mark Caleb Smith

Join Ken and Deb as we open our news app and ask political analyst and professor Dr. Mark Caleb for his perspective and insight into the top stories. Dr. Smith teaches courses on political science at Cedarville University and challenges us to think deeply, critically, and biblically when we sit down to listen or read the news. Don't miss this month's conversation as we discuss the possibility that former President Donald Trump may be arrested and how to think through how we make candidate selections.
