Palm Sunday: Prophecy Fulfilled & the King Who Came to Save

Who Tells the Story? Truth, History, and America's 250th

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, one question demands an answer: Why are we rewriting our history? In this episode of the Courage + Faith Podcast, Pastor Sam explores the battle beneath today’s political and cultural debates. The real conflict isn’t simply over historical facts—it’s over the worldview through which those facts are interpreted. What happens when objective truth is replaced by competing narratives? Why do people looking at the same events arrive at completely different conclusions? And how should Christians think about America’s past while helping shape its future? Drawing from Scripture and history, this conversation examines the importance of truth, the role of America’s biblical foundations, and the responsibility believers have to preserve freedom for the next generation. If the foundations are being challenged, what can the righteous do? Join us as we pursue biblical truth with courage and live it out with faith.

The Last Stand: Cultural Chaos & the Future of America

Pastor Sam Masteller sits down with pro-life advocate Seth Gruber to discuss his book, The Last Stand. They discuss the historical forces that have shaped our culture, the ideas that have influenced modern society, and the challenges facing America today. This episode will encourage you to stand firm and engage the world with biblical clarity. Drawing lessons from history, their conversation offers a compelling look at what it will take for believers to lead with courage, conviction and hope in the days ahead.

Why Every Life Matters

As we observe Life Month, Pastor Sam Masteller and Sarah Tarnowski of Love Life discuss how Christians can stand firmly on God’s Word while demonstrating genuine compassion toward those facing difficult and heartbreaking situations. The conversation also addresses a recent viral video involving a child with Down syndrome and the broader cultural questions it raises about human worth, prenatal diagnoses, disability, and what some have described as a growing culture of selective abortion. Sarah shares how Love Life is mobilizing churches to move beyond simply being pro-life in belief and become actively pro-life in action, and why silence on life issues is not an option for followers of Jesus. Whether you are passionate about the pro-life movement, seeking to better understand the abortion debate, or wondering how your church can make a practical difference, this conversation will challenge, encourage, and equip you to become a voice for life.

Love Without Compromise

In a culture where disagreement is often labeled as hatred and affirmation is treated as the highest virtue, many Christians are asking an important question: How do we genuinely love people without compromising biblical truth? In this episode of Courage + Faith, we tackle one of the most challenging conversations facing the Church today. As Pride Month fills headlines, social media feeds, corporate campaigns, and even some churches, the issue goes far beyond sexuality. At its core is a deeper question about truth, identity, love, and the authority of Scripture. Can Christians love LGBTQ individuals while maintaining biblical convictions? Does love require affirmation? What did Jesus actually model when He encountered people living in sin? And how should believers respond when faithfulness to Scripture is labeled intolerant, hateful, or bigoted? Join us as we explore the growing tension between cultural compassion and biblical conviction, discussing why Jesus never separated truth from love and why Christians must resist the temptation to choose one at the expense of the other. This isn’t a conversation about attacking people. It’s a conversation about faithfully representing Jesus in a culture that increasingly demands affirmation over truth. Because real love doesn’t abandon truth, and biblical truth should never be separated from genuine love.

Securing the Future

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, this broadcast reflects on the significance of our nation’s foundations and the reality that freedom only works when people are guided by truth and moral conviction. “When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?” — Psalm 11:3 As courageous believers, we're called to engage the public square with wisdom, conviction, and hope, and to carry revival into our communities! What shapes thinking shapes culture. What shapes culture shapes the future. This episode is also a call to reject self-focused leadership and become people who care deeply about the generations coming behind us.
