Episode Prayer: Finding Peace by Joan McConnell Cover

Beschreibung

Where can I find peace when my son or daughter has come out as LGBTQ+? Many Christian parents in this situation wrestle with a torrent of emotions and questions. In such tumultuous waters, peace might feel impossible, especially when there’s no obvious path to “fixing” the situation ourselves. Yet the Bible offers an alternative path to peace. The tried and true habit of prayer before the face of God. Today’s episode from Joan McConnell explores why prayer is powerful to producing peace in the heart of a believer, even when their circumstances don’t change. She shares why prayer matters so much to God, what He is seeking to teach us through prayer, and how prayer not only produces peace, but also strength and comfort in the believer’s continued walk with the Lord. If you’re feeling anything but peace in your situation, this article will comfort, challenge, and encourage you.

Episode The Transgender Trend: Is It Over? by Mark Sanders Cover

The Transgender Trend: Is It Over? by Mark Sanders

On October 14, 2025, Matt Walsh posted on X, “Transgenderism is effectively over. We destroyed it. Clearest and most decisive cultural win that conservatives have ever achieved.” But does the data really show that young people are rapidly abandoning these labels and identities? On today’s episode Harvest USA President Mark Sanders takes a closer look at the cultural moment. He challenges us to look past cultural narratives to remember the suffering our brothers and sisters with loved ones embracing transgender identities are facing. Finally, he calls the church to stand fearlessly for God’s truth without losing our zeal to reach the lost, knowing that whatever opposition we face, we’ve been given a kingdom that cannot be shaken (Hebrews 12:28).

How Confessing Sexual Sin Can Help Save Your Marriage by Mark Sanders

Confessing sexual sin in a marriage is a frightening prospect for many spouses, and therefore, most avoid it. Yet, an ongoing commitment to confessing sexual sin to your spouse can help save your marriage. To give you a healthy approach to confessing your sins, Mark Sanders offers a framework we call “The 24-Hour Rule” in today’s episode. He describes how, when, and what you should share with your spouse, how to avoid unnecessary standards of confession, and why keeping your sin hidden can do far more damage to your relationship than bringing it into the light. If you’re struggling with sexual sin and not sure what or how you should confess to your spouse, this episode if for you.
