What Is Equipped for the Times?

Are you anxious about the world today? Have you ever felt unequipped to navigate the times we’re living in? Is there a Bible verse you’ve always found confusing?

You’re not alone. We’ve been asking these questions too—and we’ve discovered answers in God’s Word.

That’s why Moody Radio is hosting Equipped for the Times: A Weekend with Moody Radio. This two-day special event with Dr. Michael Rydelnik features worship, fellowship, biblical teaching, and real-time answers to your questions about God and His Word.

Friday evening includes a special Shabbat gathering, personal testimony, and teaching from Dr. Rydelnik and Dr. Rich Freeman of Chosen People Ministries. Saturday features a live broadcast of Open Line and an exclusive off-air teaching on “Are We Living in the Last Days?”
