The modern church has a masculinity problem. While the world debates what makes men "toxic," many churches have remained silent or, worse, created toxic environments where men feel increasingly unwelcome. This spiritual vacuum affects not only men but also entire families and communities. When families are broken, life for the children can become toxic as well, We need to protect our men and our families.

Every message you send to me matters. Especially when you are dealing with an addiction and need someone to chat with about it. Your questions spark meaningful conversations not just for you, but for our entire community of listeners navigating similar challenges. I had an addiction to p*rn for seventeen years, and it robbed me of so much. I am always here for anyone who needs prayer about their addictions.

Remember your teenage years? The awkward self-consciousness, the desperate search for identity, the questions about purpose that seemed to echo without answer? Things may be different for you than it is for Gen Z, in terms of the situations they face nowadays, but at the core, we were all in that place of wondering where our identity can be found. Gen Z has a social media problem, and because of it, they are even more confused about who they are and WHOSE they are. In this profound conversation with Benjamin Crawshaw, Gen Z pastor and representative of True Face, we explore the timeless journey of discovering who we truly are.

"Be not weary in well doing, for in due season you shall reap," Jo'mel Powell, my guest this week, thought he was trying to save only his marriage, but as the 2020 pandemic hit, he realized he would be saving more than that. He shares his harrowing story on the show with genuine conviction that of someone who has lived through darkness and emerged with a deeper faith than before. His strength and undying love for his wife and newborn daughter during that pandemic lockdown and all that followed for their family is a true testament to steadfast love and God's favor.
