Blessed is the Man
April 7, 2024 • Sam Rohrer, Isaac Crockett
Psalm 1 is the introductory Psalm to the other 149, the gateway to the entire Psalms. It is powerful citing two paths in life. One that produces blessedness and life. The other death. Psalm 1 is for all people of all ages. It speaks to us today. It identifies what the blessed men does and doesn’t do. It identifies what the blessed man will be like and by application how we can be like the blessed man. Also, it identifies what the ungodly or evil man is not. It concludes by saying that the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. Stay tuned as Sam and Isaac consider the important theme, “Blessed is the Man - Psalm 1”.
God’s Word & The Skeptic’s Questions
March 31, 2024 • Sam Rohrer, Isaac Crockett, Guest: Bryan Osborne
Sam Rohrer and Isaac Crockett are joined by guest Bryan Osborne (Answers in Genesis) to discuss this important topic by going to the heart of the cause and defining the solution.\ Ever wonder how old the earth actually is? Is it thousands of years old or hundreds of millions of years old? Ever wonder when Genesis talks about a day if that day is a 24-hour day or a 24-million-year day. Does it make any real difference? Asking questions is a practice the Lord Jesus did routinely in response to His skeptics with the purpose of exposing their sinister unbelief yet always leading them to the truth. Jesus loved to also answer legitimate questions as posed by His disciples. In the appropriate fashion and for the right reasons we’ll pose some questions. Not to question God though doubt, but to ask questions to better understand what God has done, said, and who He is. Join us as we continue to look at the topic “God’s Word & The Skeptic’s Questions”. We hope you’ll find the program challenging and informative.

2024 Health Freedom Trends
February 25, 2024 • Sam Rohrer, Isaac Crockett, Guest: Twila Brase
Sam Rohrer and Isaac Crockett are joined by guest Twila Brase (President and Co-Founder of Citizen’s Council for Health Freedom) to discuss this important topic by going to the heart of the cause and defining the solution. When it comes to all matters of life and particularly the admonition of Proverbs 22:3 of the wise man looking ahead, seeing danger, and taking corrective action it certainly applies to the area of health and health freedom. For some people the idea of preparing for potential danger or being proactive in regard to looming danger is foreign. For many they don’t know how to do it. For others it is uncomfortable. Yet for others some think that if they think and act in regard to potentially advancing danger that they will be accused of being conspiratorialists, negative, or perhaps even guilty of walking by sight and not by faith. But the Bible is clear. Wisdom is clear. To be alert, aware, or proactive is not foolish but wise. Join us as we continue to look at the topic “2024 Health Freedom Trends: Vigilance Required”. We hope you’ll find the program challenging and informative.
2024 Health Freedom Trends

Sam Rohrer and Isaac Crockett are joined by guest Twila Brase (President and Co-Founder of Citizen’s Council for Health Freedom) to discuss this important topic by going to the heart of the cause and defining the solution. As in all areas of our lives it is appropriate and wise to look ahead and contemplate what is happening and may happen in the year ahead. Proverbs 22:3 says, “The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.” The wise look ahead. The prudent considers as best he can what’s coming and makes adjustments accordingly. The foolish, simple, and ignorant just plunge ahead and suffer the consequences.

New Beginnings
January 7, 2024 • Sam Rohrer, Isaac Crockett
Whether we start a new day, week, month, or year each one offers all people an opportunity to evaluate the day, week, month, or year just completed. With that opportunity is a chance to start again if we’ve failed. Adjust what we’ve accomplished. Make changes to accomplish more and consider our priorities and choices. By the grace of God we can glorify Him better. This opportunity to begin again is a blessing of God and we should view it as such. But far too often we don’t think Biblically so we deprive ourselves of many of God’s blessings. The more we consider God’s love, mercies, and faithfulness to be new every morning. The better we’ll understand the character and nature of God and the more completely we’ll understand the power of new beginnings. Join us as Sam and Isaac continue to look at the topic, “New Beginnings”.

Christmas and the Principle of Biblical Giving
December 22, 2023 • Sam Rohrer, Isaac Crockett
So much has been written or shared about Christmas (Christmas gifts, Bethlehem, Shepherds, Wisemen, Santa Claus, Elves, etc.) that the underlying truth of Christmas is often crowded out. We’ll consider a most basic truth and principle that undergirds Christmas, but can be shoved to the side in a world of selfish greed and commercialization. Today were going to look at the truth of Christmas that takes us directly to the principle of God’s love for the world. The giving of His son Jesus Christ and how understanding that can inform our view of gifts and giving to guide our lives way beyond Christmas day. Stay tuned as Sam and Isaac consider the important theme, “Christmas and the Principle of Biblical Giving”.
Israel and the World at War
December 3, 2023 • Sam Rohrer, Isaac Crockett, Guest: Albert Veksler
Sam Rohrer and Isaac Crockett are joined by guest Albert Veksler (Founder, Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast) to discuss this important topic by going to the heart of the cause and defining the solution. Throughout history war is the ultimate destroyer of life and property. In Matthew 24 Jesus says that the latter years (the times in which we live) will be marked by an increase in wars and rumors of wars. In Ezekiel 38 – 39 the Bible prophesies a group of nations including Turkey, Russia, Iran, Libya, Sudan, and other nations which come down against Israel to do battle or war motivated by a desire to take the wealth of Israel. On Oct. 7, 2023 the world changed forever. With the strategically planned and demonic Hamas terror attack against Israeli citizens. Babies were beheaded, girls and woman were raped, and soldiers were executed. Over 1,400 people were murdered. With this horrendous event the world has been set adrift moving steadily towards a world at war. How can people (and particularly Christians) interpret what’s now unfolding, understand why it’s happening, and predict where the world is headed next? Join us as we continue to look at the topic “Israel and the World at War: What We Need to Know”. We hope you’ll find the program challenging and informative.

Finding Safety in the Midst of the Fire
November 19, 2023 • Sam Rohrer, Isaac Crockett
One of the more magnificent accounts in the Old Testament took place during Israel’s invasion and subsequent captivity by Babylon. God used the idolatrous Babylonians to invade a disobedient Israel and carry off many into captivity. Some of these were young men of nobility. They were educated and schooled in the ways of royalty and were therefore potential assets in the Kingdom of Babylon. 4 of these young men the Bible records were Daniel, Hannaniah, Mishael, and Azaria. Better known as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. The lives and choices of these young men can teach us lessons today. Stay tuned as Sam and Isaac consider the important theme, “Finding Safety in the Midst of the Fire”.
God's Blueprint for Life
November 12, 2023 • Sam Rohrer, Isaac Crockett
The Bible records the life of King David. The Bible mentions a very close relationship between God and David as it describes David as being a man after God’s own heart. God also gave to David a divine and eternal promise delivered through Nathan the prophet known as the Davidic Covenant. This was an unconditional covenant through which God promised to David and Israel that the Messiah (Jesus) would come from the lineage of David and would establish a kingdom that would endure forever. At the end of David’s life his son Solomon was designated by God as the replacement for David. The first in the long lineage of David leading to the Messiah. In 1 Chronicles 28 David gives to Solomon a blueprint for successful leadership both personally and nationally as king and urged him to embrace the blueprint. That blueprint has not changed and remains the blueprint for any and all people wanting to live or lead successfully today. This program is part three of a three-part emphasis that identifies the wisdom of David as given to Solomon as David prepares to die and Solomon prepares to ascend the throne.

Sam Rohrer and Isaac Crockett are joined by guest Renton Rathbun (Center for Biblical Worldview, Bob Jones University; Professor) to discuss this important topic by going to the heart of the cause and defining the solution. At one point in America’s history our leaders understood the importance of education as the means to shaping one’s worldview. They also understood that their worldview shaped their definition of education. In this second of a two part program we’ll discuss the state of Christian education in America today and how it has changed over the last generation and skyrocketed post COVID. Also, we’ll discuss how BJU Press integrates a Biblical Worldview throughout their Kindergarten through 12th grade curriculum within the various essential components.
