  What Would a Christian Family Look Like Today? | Jeremy Pryor 05.05.2026 57分

  Episode Summary: The modern West tells a story about family that sounds normal until you measure it against Scripture: raise kids, launch them out, start over every generation, and call it success.

  The Sin of Empathy: Compassion and Its Counterfeits | Dr. Joe Rigney 07.04.2026 57分
