How to be an Overcomer in the Midst of Evil
August 18, 2019 • August 18, 2019 • Sam Rohrer, Gary Dull, Alex Kendrick, Pastor John Mallonnee
“What do you allow to define you?” That’s the byline of the new film hitting theaters on August 23rd called, “Overcomer”. This program features an interview with Alex Kendrick, co-writer, actor and producer of this film. You might recognize his name since he and his brothers produced other faith-based movies like Facing the Giants, Fireproof, and War Room. The new movie, Overcomer, explores the theme of identity-a word we hear quite often from the main-stream media. However, the kind of “identity” they’re talking about is based on feelings rather than the truth because we can’t really know who we are if we can’t answer the relevant questions of life- like who made me and why am I here? The characters in the movie wrestle with these questions and more as they face the challenges and difficulties life often throws our way. Then Pastor John Mallonnee shares how God used an opportunity for him to be a witness while serving on his local school board.

In the Defense of Life
August 11. 2019 • August 11, 2019 • San Rohrer, Gay Dull, Scott Klusendorf
The extreme left position of abortion on demand and death for babies who survive a failed abortion are indicative of a culture where the innocent and defenseless among us are disposable and valueless. This program discusses the Christian position that values each and every human being from the moment of conception until the moment of death. Scott Klusendorf, President of the Pro-Life Training institute, will present the biblical worldview that will help us better understand and defend the pro- life position. If you struggle to articulate why you’re pro-life, or if you’re not sure where you stand on certain situations like rape or incest, you’ll find this program to be immensely helpful. I’d invite you to stay tuned for this episode of Stand in the Gap Weekend we’ve titled, “In Defense of Life”.
Congresswomen Omar and Tlaib-A 'Squad’ or ‘Sleeper Cell?’
August 4, 2019 • August 4, 2019 • Sam Rohrer, Gary Dull, Dave Kistler, IQ al-Rassooli
Congresswomen-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib, also known as ‘the Squad', have sparked numerous controversies with their anti-Trump, anti-Israel, and anti-American comments. Are these just their personal opinions or is there something more sinister at play? While it may seem that all the drama is just that, there are those who understand that the leftist, globalist, Marxist, and Islamic agenda is on the move-with its end goal to erase freedom and democracy as we know it here in the West. Our guest on this program is one of those people whose keen insights are helpful as we digest all that’s happening nationally and around the world. IQ al-Rassooli, former Muslim Imam, is going to tie it all together on this episode of Stand in the Gap Weekend.
Healthcare Freedom Update
July 28, 2019 • Sam Rohrer, Gary Dull, Dave Kistler, Twila Brase
Did you know that the HIPAA forms you usually sign at the doctor’s office don’t protect your privacy at all? In fact, it’s just the opposite. What you’re signing is your consent that you’ve been notified of the hospital or clinic’s privacy guidelines-a form you usually don’t take the time to read. In all actuality, the HIPAA laws are permissive, giving 2.2 million entities, plus government access to your medical records without your consent. Twila Brase, President and Founder of Citizen's Council for Health Freedom, is going to give us a healthcare freedom update from the perspective of an organization who’s dedicated to “protecting health care choices, individualized patient care and medical and genetic privacy rights.” Healthcare is at the top of the list when it comes to debatable issues in the 2020 Presidential election, and while it seems there are few answers to this dilemma we find ourselves in, this program will point you in the right direction and offer some real solutions and alternatives for us to pursue and inform our legislators and healthcare practitioners about.

Middle East Update
July 21, 2019 • Sam Rohrer, Dave Kistler, Dr. Gary Dull, Dr. Jimmy DeYoung
The Psalms of Ascent, which consist of Psalms 120-134, were songs sung by worshipers as they made their way to Jerusalem for the annual feasts. The road they traveled was known as the Pilgrim road, and the recent rediscovery of this road in Israel, buried under a Palestinian village, caused quite a stir among those who contest that the Jews have no claim to Jerusalem and the surrounding areas. This program gives an update on the latest happenings in Israel and the Middle East with guest, Dr. Jimmy DeYoung, host of Prophecy Today. Host: Sam Rohrer Co-hosts: Dr. Gary Dull, Dave Kistler Guest: Dr. Jimmy DeYoung
Fathering the Fatherless
July 14, 2019 • Sam Rohrer, Gary Dull, Dave Kistler, Tim Schneider
Almost 60 years ago, about one in ten children grew up without the physical presence of a father in the home. Today, the staggering reality is that one in three children are fatherless-with an absent, incarcerated, or deceased father. While we know the need for children to grow up with both a father and a mother is crucial to their physical, social, and spiritual health, the culture continues to rush headlong into the destruction of the family unit as we’ve known it since the beginning of creation. Hollywood and the media glorify the single Mom or Dad, the homosexual couple, and transgender children; but these lifestyles and choices don’t come without a price to pay. On this program, our guest, Tim Schneider, will give his testimony about how he grew up without a father and a dysfunctional mother. He’ll tell us about his difficult early years and the moment his life was changed through a local church ministry and the men and women who reached out to him with the gospel and a helping hand. Host: Sam Rohrer Co-host: Dr. Gary Dull
From Sexual Bondage to Spiritual Freedom: A True Story
July 7, 2019 • July 7, 2019 • Sam Rohrer, Gary Dull, George Carneal
In I Corinthians 6:9-11, the Apostle Paul writes, "…Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, nor thieves, nor the greedy,nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers,will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God…" On today’s program, former homosexual, George Carneal will testify that these verses applied to him-what he was before and after he met Christ. He’ll tell us why he entered the gay lifestyle and what he found as he sank further and further into drug and alcohol addiction, depression, and finally attempted suicide. Eventually He found Jesus and chronicled his journey in his book, "From Queer to Christ: My Journey into the Light". Host: Sam Rohrer Co-host: Gary Dull Guest: George Carneal www.georgecarneal.com
Biblical Expectations for Godly Fathers
June 30, 2019 • June 30, 2019 • Isaac Crockett, Sam Rohrer, Gary Dull
George MacDonald, nineteenth century author and poet, once wrote this, “Fatherhood is the core of the universe”. What did he mean by this and if correct, wouldn’t the unimaginable impact of a father’s relationship to his children be consequentially earth shaking? As believers, we know God’s design for families is a father and mother, raising children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. And that those children would continue the cycle so there will be future generations who’ll witness and testify to His goodness at all times in every place. We also know that Satan hates the idea of fatherhood. The destruction of the family and it’s resulting decay of society is his delight. The assault on parents in our own country has been devastating and we’re now reaping the disastrous effects of the rebellious 60’s and 70’s, the sexual revolution and the rise of feminism. This program focuses on 5 things fathers must teach their children from Deuteronomy 6 so that they will follow the Lord with all of their hearts. Host: Isaac Crockett Co-hosts: Sam Rohrer, Gary Dull
Gay Pride Month- A Menace to America
June 23, 2019 • June 23, 2019 • Gary Dull, Diane Gramley
The Gay/Lesbian/Transgender movement has powerfully polarized both politics and culture. The battle cry for tolerance and equality has reached a feverish pitch and our response as a nation, is absolutely critical. From a biblical perspective, we know God condemns the sin of homosexuality and has created men and women to be distinct in both design and function. This month is Gay Pride Month-but is there really anything to be proud of? In fact, in just about every culture throughout history, homosexuality was considered shameful and men dressing in women’s clothes a disgrace. If the truth were told, it’s this very shame and embarrassment on the part of the LGBTQ community that’s been distorted into an angry insistence of acceptance and accommodation. It seeks to silence the voice of conscience and those who speak out against the intrusion of their ideology into every part of daily life. During this program, Diane Gramley with the American Family Association of Pennsylvania, is going to share how her organization is identifying and working to raise awareness of the LGBTQ agenda and defending the natural family.
5G Technology, Artificial Intelligence, China, and Persecution
June 16, 2019 • Sam Rohrer, Gary Dull, William Parker
We live in an age of expediency. Technology has enabled us to shop with the push of a button; obtain information, listen to music, turn down the heat and lock our doors all with a command to Alexa. While all this burgeoning convenience makes things easier, there’s a cost involved that’s just becoming clear. No doubt you’ve wondered once or twice about whether the information you’re giving and receiving on your Smart phone, tablet or Echo is safe from the public eye; but what if you knew it wasn’t the public you needed to worry about-it was the government who was monitoring your every move-and not necessarily for good reasons. Sounds like Science fiction? Well, actually-it’s happening in real life over in China. On this program, guest William Parker discusses the newest technology-5G, Artificial intelligence, China, and the increasing religious persecution.

Preventing Voter Fraud
June 9, 2019 • June 9, 2019 • Sam Rohrer, Gary Dull, Tomi Collins
On Tuesday, May 28, Breitbart news had this headline: “The Nuclear Option: Democrats Best Hope for 2020: The No-Information Voter”-meaning when it comes to the true agenda of the Democrat party, ignorance is bliss. As the next major election is already dominating the news, one certainly wonders how in the world your average person is going to make sense of all the media bias and political posturing going on. But even more serious than this, is what's discussed on this program with our guest, Tomi Collins-Executive Director of America Restored and proponent of the Regulation Freedom Amendment. The information and research you'll hear is going to astound you as we reveal the extent of and current state of voter fraud right here in America. While voter information is a huge problem, none of it really matters if the American people are cheated out of a fair and honest election. Host: Sam Rohrer Co-host: Gary Dull Guest: Tomi Collins
Civility in an Uncivilized World
June 2, 2019 • June 2, 2019 • Isaac Crockett, Sam Rohrer, Jeff Coleman
You’ve probably heard the old saying, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”. If you’re a parent, you’ve probably even said this to your children. This program is about the power of words, especially when it comes to conversing with people with whom we disagree. The invention of social media has now given us the opportunity to exponentially broadcast our beliefs-and for believers, the admonitions in James about life and death being in the power of the tongue have become even more significant. Honorable Jeff Coleman, former Pennsylvania House Representative and author joins this program today to discuss the methods and manners of public debate and the need for genuine civility to make a comeback in our discourse. If you’ve grown tired of the drama and want to hear a refreshing conversation for a change, you'll want to hear this episode of Stand in the Gap Weekend!

National Security at Risk: Within and Without
May 26, 2019 • May 26, 2019 • Sam Rohrer, Dave Kistler, Frank Gaffney, Jr.
On Memorial Day, we honor those who gave their lives defending freedom from the birth of our nation until now. Unfortunately, the enemies of America are many, and the stakes are high as new technology and strategic alliances are threatening the very freedoms we hold so dear. This program features an interview with Frank Gaffney, Jr., founder and Executive Chairman of the Center for Security Policy in Washington, DC., with an update and eye-opening information on the national security risks to our nation, both within and without. Host: Sam Rohrer Co-host: Dave Kistler Guest: Frank Gaffney, Jr.
Healing Racial Divisions: The 2019 Movement
May 19, 2019 • May 19, 2019 • Isaac Crockett, Dr. Joe Green
Leading up to the murder trial of abortion doctor, Kermit Gosnell, it took several courageous men and women to expose the extent of his crimes. Why were they courageous? Because the reproductive rights of a women in the eyes of the media and liberal left, were and are still untouchable. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer, and sometimes it takes a risk to be the one to point out where things are going wrong, what needs to change, or why certain methods aren’t working. The Bible certainly contains the stories of courageous change-makers, men and women we call Heroes of the Faith. Today, we’re going to hear from a courageous change-maker- Dr. Joe Green who shepherds an inner-city church. He knows what it’s like to live and minister in an urban culture. He’s seen the effects of drugs, gangs, teenage pregnancies, and lack of education or family life for many young men and women growing up in this environment, and he’s calling attention to the need for a new direction in the African-American community through a crusade he’s calling the ‘2019 Movement’. Host: Isaac Crockett Guest: Dr. Joe Green
Update from Capitol Hill
May 12, 2019 • May 12, 2019 • Gary Dull, John Whaley, Keith Davidson, Brad Wells
Did you know that the National Bible Reading Marathon took place two weeks ago in Washington DC where the entire Bible was read from start to finish by believers from all over the world? And did you also know that Focus on the Family held a powerful event in New York City broadcasting a live 4-D ultrasound in Times Square to over 20,000 bystanders? Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer, and good things are happening all around us even though we may not hear about it on the local news or media outlets. On today’s program we’re going to hear some firsthand accounts about some exciting things happening in Washington, DC. As Christians, we believe God is always at work. His plan for the nations and for individual lives is carried out according to His will-and it’s our job to cooperate with His plan by our obedience and sensitivity to the leading of the Holy Spirit. If you’re tired of hearing negative news coverage, you’ll want to listen to this encouraging episode of Stand in the Gap Weekend!
