Speaker: The Rev. Mark Galloway

We need to constantly realize that in Christ, we are a new creation. We need to be reminded of this truth by, and for, each other. Christ gives us grace anew so that we are equal to the task of fighting back the darkness, even when the odds and circumstances seem overwhelming. Like Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, and many other heroes who went before us, we must put on the full armor of God in the battle against evil.

Like many holidays in America, the meaning of Thanksgiving has been totally lost by the majority of Americans. Thanksgiving only has meaning when you know what you’re thankful for, to whom you are thankful, and why you are thankful. Christians must be the first to give thanks to God, even when everything in life goes wrong.

The Rev. Stomberg and the Rev. Galloway discuss the importance of Christian responsibility. If Jesus tells us the world will get worse before he comes, then why should Christians try to make things better? Is secular culture responsible for the decline of the Church in the West, or is it actually Christians?

The Rev. Stomberg and the Rev. Galloway discuss uncommon types of stewardship. Did you know we are stewards of our emotions and intellect? And should Christians use Tik Tok?

Do you ever grow tired of hearing the noise of the world around you? Our world has been saturated with evil since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. For the Christian, it is easy to be discouraged by the many voices that speak out against the Gospel. Even greater is the temptation to give in to them. Here, the Rev. Galloway shares God’s reminder for us to be still, and trust in Christ.

The Rev. Stomberg and the Rev. Galloway answer the question: what is a hero? The two discuss heroes vs. antiheroes, the Saints, and why we need them in our lives.

The Rev. Stomberg and the Rev. Galloway discuss the dignity and value of human life, and how our end-of-life arrangements can serve as a Gospel witness. The discussion also covers assisted suicide, burials, funerals, living wills, caring for sick and dying relatives, and more.

Can you really be a Christian when you don’t pray every day? A recent Pew survey indicates that roughly half of all professing Christians do not pray every day. Without daily prayer, we cannot be truly happy. And when we pray, we should pray like the tax collector, begging for God’s mercy. We need to be people of real prayer.

Here’s the great preoccupation of Americans: We do everything in our lives to avoid mortality. Are we not all going to die, however? We can’t avoid mortality, but we can enjoy eternal life in the presence of God, like the Samaritan and like Ruth, if we simply put our trust in Jesus Christ to save us.
