When God Draws His Sword on You
April 19, 2024 19:19 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MBYou know about Joshua and Jericho, right? Well, here's a fascinating take on what leads up to the Jericho conquest. Joshua is on a reconnaissance mission in the middle of the night. And SUDDENLY a figure looms out of the darkness with a drawn sword! What does this mean? Why would this figure have a sword pointed at Joshua? Perhaps it was to make sure Joshua knew who was in charge? Knowing God as Commander-in-Chief is crucial for us to interact with Him, know what He wants us to do, and how t...
Urban Ministry 2.0 with Walt McFadden
April 12, 2024 13:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MBCities have been with us since the beginning of time. In the early days, cities were where all the commerce and military strength resided. Ultimately, these cities collectively turned into states and then nations. Cities continue to grow and in the next decade 70% of the world’s population will leave in cities. How will that impact how we live? What will be the challenges we face? For the church, we already face some of these challenges, and the need to do ministry differently and more effec...
The Unseen Enemy with Walt McFadden
April 05, 2024 13:00 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MBSince becoming a Christian, it has been my belief that Christianity is a spiritual force that pushes back the darkness of evil. Many in our world today do not think there is any evil … just human beings acting out their passions and desires. Yet, the Bible teaches there is a dark force here on earth … the Unseen Enemy, Satan. Satan would love you to think he doesn’t exist, that way he operates in the shadows. The Apostle Paul taught us that it is this force that we fight against and not fles...

Does God Have Preferences? with Shawn Morrison
March 22, 2024 13:00 - 26 minutes - 24 MBHere’s my problem. People who believe in God may do so without the help of what the Bible says about God. The problem lies in believing in a God that may not exist but is made up in the imagination of the person believing. The Bible gives us clear teaching on the nature of God … who He is and who He is not. For example, people will say God is love, which is true, but what is left out of that statement is that God also hates. Hard to grasp, right? Yet, that is what the Bible says. Another que...
Unseen Influences with Walt McFadden
March 15, 2024 13:00 - 29 minutes - 26.8 MBToo often, we focus on the wrong things when it comes to influence. We think it’s the political process that’s to blame, or other institutions, including the church as the culprits for our problems.In this episode, I talk with a pastor about the unseen influences the Apostle Paul mentions in Ephesians Chapter 6. Pastor Walt McFadden is my guest and we talk about the Unseen Influences in our lives. Visit Walt McFadden Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed Guests ...

Urban Ministry with Walt McFadden
March 01, 2024 14:00 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MBOur cities are changing. There is more density in cities due to all the new apartment complexes being built and new innovations in building multi-use centers. With more people working from home, and the move to get more people into apartment living, how does that affect ministries in the urban core? What must the church think about as cities continues to change? In this episode, I talk with Walt McFadden, an urban pastor, about Urban Ministry and he shares some insights about how the church...
Is Christianity Dangerous? with Chris Heeb
February 23, 2024 14:00 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MBIs Christianity Dangerous? If you answer that question in terms of what Jesus taught, of course it is. ‘Deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Me’ is counter cultural to what we hear in the world around us today. The world is afraid of people who live according to what Jesus taught … it is a threat to them in exposing their darkness. When you expose the darkness of sin you become public enemy number one to evil. Dangerous, you bet … truth is always dangerous. In this episode, we unpac...

February 09, 2024 14:00 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBEveryone knows about appetites, we usually have them about food, but appetites can be defined by what we desire to make us happy.

January 19, 2024 14:00 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MBIn our previous episode, we talked with Randy Zembel about John 3:16, and how to use this Verse as a witnessing tool to help people understand God’s love for us.

Connected Families with Jim Jackson
January 05, 2024 14:00 - 28 minutes - 26.3 MBIn all of my radio/podcast career I haven’t found a more engaging person as Jim Jackson. He, and his wife Lynn, co-founded a ministry known as ‘Connected Families’ where they help parents deal with parenting issues. In this episode, I talk with Jim about one of the major aspects of their ministry which asks the question, “What’s going on in you.?” This self-awareness technique is a fundamental question that needs to be asked when conflict or misunderstanding is being experienced. Before we...
People Run Wild
December 29, 2023 14:00 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MBProverbs 29:18 is one of the most misinterpreted, misunderstood, and misapplied Scripture, even though many Christians know it by heart. They focus on "Without revelation, people run wild" but ignore the second half of the verse, "but one who follows divine instruction will be happy." This verse has been memorized by many as "Without a vision, the people perish" and they use it as a justification to spend a lot of time, energy, and talent wrestling with church "vision-casting" and mission st...
The Soul of America with Shawn Morrison
December 22, 2023 13:53 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MBWith the midterm elections coming up next year, it is important for Christians to vote. Christians have one of the largest voting blocks in America. Christians need realize they have to exercise their right to vote. Many believers do not think it is important whether they vote or not since God will have His way no matter what. Ultimately, God will have His way, but our job is to protect the right in America for Christians to preach the Gospel. We have seen our religious rights slowly erode, ...
Toxic Masculinity with Walt McFadden
December 15, 2023 14:00 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MBIt’s no secret that men are struggling today to find their role and their place in society. Even men who have a good job and quality of life wonder what kind of role do I now play in society. Men have been tagged with all kinds of terms, one of which has stuck more than others and that is, “Toxic Masculinity.” There is some truth to men who do not follow God, or live by how He designed men to live … this can and will become toxic because it becomes a self-centered life. In this episode, I t...

The Wounds of Men with Walt McFadden
December 01, 2023 14:00 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MBPeriodically, I join my friend, Pastor Walt McFadden, on the theme of ‘the wounds in a man’s life.’ Pastor Walt has been teaching and discipling young men in his church trying to get the heart of what is hurting men today. What he has discovered is that men have wounds in their hearts from their fathers, from culture, and from relationships that have injured them in some way. In this episode, we talk about some of those wounds and how bring those wounds before Jesus for healing. Visit Walt...
Our Freedom is Eroding with Glenn Beck
November 24, 2023 14:00 - 23 minutes - 21.3 MBEveryone knows our world is out of control. We hear commentaries about it every day especially from conservative radio, that our government is going in the wrong direction. Glenn Beck from The Blaze Radio had a broadcast recently where he talked about a speech delivered by a Holocaust survivor who equated what she experienced in Germany in WW II to what she is seeing in America today. The recent raid on a former President’s home was a wakeup call to Americans about the erosion of their perso...
False Summit
November 17, 2023 14:00 - 4 minutes - 4.17 MBIn this episode, we tackle the concept of false summits in life and business, drawing parallels with the challenges faced in mountaineering. Our hosts share a personal experience of encountering a false summit during a climb, highlighting the psychological toll and relating it to achieving goals in our lives. The central message is about changing perspective: rather than solely focusing on reaching the destination, success is found in enjoying the journey. Listeners are urged to reflect on p...
The Cult of Western Christianity with Chris Heeb
November 10, 2023 14:00 - 37 minutes - 34.6 MBI’m sure this episode will stir up some controversary. Why? Because, for some time, I have thought that the western church has some serious flaws in terms of practice and theology. Now, it is true, no church will be perfect … that is not what I am addressing in this podcast. What I want to do is to create some self-awareness that our structures or systems in the church could be the reason we are seeing more moral failure in the church. The open testimony of a young girl who tells how she was...
Love God … Hate Evil with Shawn Morrison
November 03, 2023 13:00 - 23 minutes - 21.3 MBTolerance is the modern battle cry of the culture. There are no restrictions when it comes to being you. No more moral restrictions of past generations … we are now the generation of free exploration without societal restriction. Evil is at the heart of much of our freedom, and society is being primed to accept it. Psalm 97:10 speaks to us about our love for God and our hatred for evil. God cannot co-exist with evil, and there is no middle ground between the two. God wants us to abandon all...
Encouragement!
October 27, 2023 13:00 - 29 minutes - 26.6 MBWhat is encouragement? I'll tell ya what it is!It's GREAT! Everyone needs it and no one gets enough.

The Coffin with Neil Saltzman
October 20, 2023 13:00 - 18 minutes - 17.3 MBWhat motivates a man to build his own coffin? That’s the question I asked a man who told me that he has built his coffin for his funeral. Neil Saltzman has been a carpenter, entrepreneur, and former business owner who decided it could be a great conversation piece with a practical purpose. Neil tells his nine grandkids the story of how one day he will be in the coffin that he built. However, the story he tells is not morbid or sad … it is a reminder of how death will come to everyone, but in...
The Woundedness of Men with Walt McFadden
October 13, 2023 13:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBMen are struggling today. Many of them don’t know what role they play, and some have even become more effeminate in their dress and appearance just to appear more gender neutral. It seems that females are more prominent in almost every industry these days, and men are feeling more isolated than ever before. Generally, men have few friends and have a hard time relating to other men. This CitySites Podcast talks with Pastor Walt McFadden about the woundedness that many men feel today througho...
Help! My Child Won't Listen
October 06, 2023 13:00 - 33 minutes - 30.3 MBMy child won’t listen! Sound familiar? If you’ve had that exasperated thought recently, you’re not alone. Obedience and cooperation are common struggles most families encounter. There may be a disconnect between your good intentions and what your kids experience and believe. That disconnect can fuel these listening troubles. What Makes A Great Parent? It’s the burning question most parents ask at some point in their parenting journey. Is there a secret formula? A magical to-do list? And if ...
Maintaining Our Faith with Larry Kutzler
September 29, 2023 13:00 - 27 minutes - 24.8 MBAs we all know, our world has changed forever since COVID 19. We are only now discovering how this pandemic has influenced our lives forever. Other changes such as the transgender movement and the abortion legislation have all made inroads into our lives. Yet, with all these changes the one change that should never change is our faith in God. Faith has always been the target of evil, and it is a never-ending process to get us to give up on God for the pleasures of this life. In this episode,...
The Jewishness of the Gospel with Trevor Rubinstein
September 22, 2023 13:00 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MBThe Jewishness of the Gospel is often overlooked in our modern church. We seem to forget that as Gentiles we were grafted into the Olive Tree of God. The Jews had all the covenants God made with humankind, including the New Covenant. We call the New Covenant the New Testament which tells the story of Jesus, who is the New Covenant. Yet, in spite of all the evidence that the Jews who gave us the Messiah, the Jews who gave us all the Scripture that we read, and the Jews who were the first beli...
Immigration
September 15, 2023 13:00 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MBImmigration is a troubling and difficult issue for Christians in America. Pastor Walt thinks out loud and gives us a very easy solution to the immigration issue, but this solution is too difficult for politicians. Different countries have different responses to their immigration issues, and the United States is not tyrannical to illegal immigrants. Over the years, Presidents have dealt in different ways with America’s immigration issue … some with good results, some not so good results. Does...
Leadership Structure with David Diers
September 08, 2023 13:00 - 24 minutes - 22.9 MBIn most organizations, we focus upon leadership principles and values as we try to strengthen the core of the company or ministry. The problem with only focusing on the leadership is that we forget about the other half of the equation, and that is structure. No leader can properly lead without the expectations and the accountability of structure. In recent years, we have seen many outstanding leaders fail in leading because there was little to no structure to support their gift of leadership...
The Immorality of Abortion with Brian Walker
September 01, 2023 13:00 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MBAbortion is a moral judgment. This issue must be a moral one because we are talking about taking a life. In this episode, my guest is Brian Walker who has been a long-time pro-life advocate. Brian and I have a frank discussion about today’s climate in American on the topic of abortion. As Brian points out, science is our friend on this one because it does identify a pregnancy as a human being. I find it amazing when we talk about moral human tragedies like the Holocaust, we know that is mora...
Episode 7 : Genesis 3:16 - The 11 TRUE Words
August 25, 2023 13:00 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MBIn this revealing study on Genesis 3:16 we identify the bad news AND the good news God gave to the woman. But most all modern translations incorrectly are covering over these two things with something sounding like a curse! The Eden Podcast is where we think again about the Bible on women and men. We start with a correct understanding of what happened in the Garden of Eden back in the beginning. Bruce C. E. Fleming is founder of the Tru316 Project and a former Academic Dean and Professor of...
Beware of Christians with Thom Berkowitz
August 18, 2023 13:00 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MBIn this episode, my guest is a Jewish man who believes in Jesus. Following his father’s unexpectant death, he found himself without answers to life and was mad at God for taking his dad. Being raised as a secular Jew, Thom did not care about religion and he had no interest in God. When his wife started to attend a Bible study, he decided he would find out what she was studying. In the process of reading about Jesus, he fell in love with Him and gave his life to following Him as His Messiah. ...
One Dimensional God? with Shawn Morrison
August 11, 2023 13:00 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MBWhen I travel and attend churches in various cities or I watch church services online, I find a dangerous precedent being set by the church. It seems there is a one-sided God being presented that makes God into just a fraction of how He is described in the Bible. I won’t say what is said about God is wrong from the pulpits of the church I watch or visit, it just seems there are many themes about God that are being left out. In other words, we are getting a cliff-notes version of God, and som...
How to Stop Isolating Ourselves and Live in Community
August 04, 2023 13:00 - 42 minutes - 29.5 MBHeather MacFadyen, Author of Don't Mom Alone, joins Alan & Corrie to talk about the importance of community for parents and how to overcome isolating ideas with connecting truths.

Roots of Change with Craig Sulentic
July 28, 2023 13:00 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MBWhen a Christian leaves the faith or is caught is some kind of un-Christian like behavior, what happens to that person in their discipling process? Now, no one is beyond temptation and often many of us slip and fall, but we remember how to return to God through Jesus Christ. Some of the problem lies with how we were trained, or as we like to say in the church ‘discipled.’ In business, when an employee is lacking in performance, it can usually be traced to how they were on-board or trained w...
The Community of Christ with Tom Parrish
July 21, 2023 13:00 - 27 minutes - 25 MBCommunity is a term that is used to identify a group of people who live in a neighborhood together or come together for some cause or purpose. It is also a term used to identify a church. The term goes beyond just a local church … it means the community of Christ which is everyone who believes in Jesus as Lord and Savior. The Community of Christ is belonging to Jesus. In this episode, I talk with a veteran pastor who helps unpack this term for us. Visit Tom Parrish Challenging the Culture w...
The 5 Emotions Your Child Needs to Know
July 14, 2023 12:51 - 57 minutes - 39.7 MBPeggy Osborne of You Are My Treasure joins Alan & Corrie to talk about how to help our kids identify and know what to do with their emotions when we usually just tell them what not to do. Alan and Corrie love to help parents gain confidence in navigating the many challenges of parenting. Our greatest desire as parents is to connect with our children’s hearts and share God’s love and mercy with them. When we started parenting, we thought our discipline methods were achieving this goal, but w...
Faith Crisis with Jeremiah Rice
July 07, 2023 13:00 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MBWhat happens when faith goes into crisis? In the church, this happens more often than we want to admit. Sometimes, crisis is brought about by the experiences we encounter with fellow believers. I know, first-hand, that my most difficult times in ministry came because of the behavior of people who had an agenda, and I was in their way. Most pastors can tell you horror stories of how badly they have been treated by church leaders. In this episode, I talk with a young pastor who tells you his s...
Cancel Culture and the Church with Walt McFadden
June 30, 2023 13:00 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MBThe cancel culture has been one of those evils that goes after people with a vengeance. It’s a self-righteous act of people who think they have a right to destroy other people by calling for a boycott of who they are or what they do. This same spirit has been around for some time in the church, and in some ways has intensified in our culture today. In this episode, Pastor Walt McFadden from Cityview Church in Minneapolis, is my guest. Join us as we talk about this problem creeping into the ...
Keeping Our Way Pure
June 23, 2023 14:11 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MBWhat does it mean to be pure before God? It's more than you think and deeper than you think.

Traditions with Chris Heeb
June 09, 2023 13:00 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MBTraditions can be wonderful and meaningful observances, yet some traditions may not follow the Biblical narrative. For example, take Easter, some of the traditions we follow about this holiday can be traced back to pagan origins. Rabbits and eggs can all distract us from the real meaning of Christ’s resurrection from the dead. In this episode, Chris Heeb joins me to look back in time to examine some of the origins of the Easter celebration. Visit Chris Heeb Ministry Challenging the Culture...
Israel Part Two

What is Preached? with Jay Christianson
May 19, 2023 12:46 - 26 minutes - 12.3 MBThere has always been a tension between what is preached in church and what is not. As any church that grows in size and in organization, there comes a financial burden to be met by the demands of the ministry. It is those demands that can dictate how prophetic the ministerial staff can become before it might affect the bottom line of that church. I know this might sound like sacrilege, but it is the truth. As a pastor, I was told not to preach on issues that drive people away. I was told j...
Satan’s Evil with Shawn Morrison
May 12, 2023 13:00 - 27 minutes - 12.6 MBToday, there is a tendency to make Christianity a cognitive religion of having your best life now, complete with tips and ideas on how to make it so. Christianity is not a religion of education, knowledge, or otherwise … it is a supernatural event where God sent His Son to rescue the world from sin. That’s right … Christianity is a rescue mission by God. During His great rescue effort, He encounters a tumultuous push back by a fallen angel named Satan. In our world of making Christianity pla...
