    "When You Lose Heart: A Christian Response to Discouragement"

    Discouragement is not weakness. It is what happens when you lose heart. And it can happen to anyone. The word itself tells the story. Dis-courage. No courage. No heart. And whether it comes from exhaustion, unmet expectations, or a world that seems to be getting harder by the day, every person reading this has probably been there. Host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow talk about discouragement in this episode—what it is and how to respond to it. Discouragement is not despair—it is temporary, it can be addressed, and God speaks directly to it throughout Scripture. Joshua 1:9 says it plainly: Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. The question God asks in that verse implies something important—He expected us to become discouraged from time to time. So, what do you do with it? You check your expectations. You come with humility. You focus on what you actually control—which is your own obedience, your own heart, your own next step. You do what you can, where you are, with what you have, and you trust God with the rest. That is not giving up. That is faith. Listen in for a conversation that will meet you where you are and point you back to the One who never loses heart.

    "Missed Opportunities, Part 2: Who Would You Be If You Were Paying Attention?"

    You have a plan for almost everything. Do you have one for loving your neighbor? In Part 2 of the "Missed Opportunities" mini-series, host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow pick up where they left off—and get practical. It is one thing to recognize a missed opportunity. It is another to figure out who you need to be so you stop missing them. The conversation moves into the difference between what and who. Most of us focus on what we did wrong. But the deeper question is this: Who are we when we are not at our best—and who is Jesus calling us to be? If you are anchored to Him, your eyes open. If you take your eyes off Him, like Peter on the water, you start to sink. Marines do not go outside the wire without a plan. They do not let the enemy choose their behavior. They act according to their mission, their commander's intent, and the values they serve. As a Christian, the mission is the same: love God, love your neighbor. The plan is what makes it possible. Missed opportunities are not just failures. They are invitations to grow. Listen in and find out what it looks like to show up with a plan—and become the person who does not walk past the need.

    "Missed Opportunities, Part 1: What Has Your Attention?"

    Have you ever missed an opportunity to do something good—not because you didn't care, but because you were somewhere else in your head? On a layover in Frankfurt, Germany, host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) walked past a hungry homeless man with a full meal's worth of leftovers sitting on the table behind him. He admits he was too caught up in his own disappointment to see the opportunity right in front of him. And it stayed with him. In Part 1 of this two-part mini-series, Colonel Mendelow and his wingman Christy Mendelow open a conversation that is less about failure and more about what is possible. Small acts of kindness—a recovered voicemail, a volunteer EMT saving a life at a parade, cold drinks taken to men working outside in the heat—are happening all around us every day. The question is whether we are awake enough to see them and present enough to act. James 2:14-17 makes it plain: faith without deeds is incomplete. Not because our works earn us anything, but because in our salvation, the desire to serve will grow. Loving others is worship. So what opportunities are passing you by right now? Listen in and be encouraged to open your eyes to what is right in front of you. Hear the show on CourageousChristianity.today, on KKHT.com, iHeart Radio, or on select podcast platforms.

    "Declaration of Independence 250 Years Later"

    250 years ago, men risked their fortunes, their families, and their lives to establish something the world had never seen—a nation built on biblical truth, dedicated to God-given liberty, and committed to the idea that our rights extend not from government, but from our Creator. That nation is still here. The question is what we are doing with it. In this special Independence Day edition of “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow,” host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) —Marine officer, immigrant, and Jewish believer in Christ—and his wingman Christy Mendelow reflect on America's Christian heritage, what it actually means to live in a nation so uniquely blessed by God, and what Christians are called to do with the freedom that was secured at such great cost. Liberty requires responsibility. The Supreme Court has affirmed this is a Christian nation. And if Christian Americans do not take their faith into every area of life, this nation risks losing the very foundation it was built on. Although the weekend of fireworks and festivities has passed, take time to tune in, reflect on what this nation was built on, and find out what four practical steps every Christian American can take right now to be part of the solution.

    "Real Faith for the Real World: Two Words That Change Everything—Series Finale"

    You know the feeling. You read something in Scripture, or feel called to do something uncomfortable, and then it starts. Yes, but... Yes, but the world won't like it. Yes, but it won't make a difference. Yes, but look at what everyone else is doing. With this show, the "Real Faith for the Real World" series comes to a close—and host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow get to the core of what it has all been about. Not yes, but—but God. Two words that change everything. From a pitcher who wrote a Bible verse on his hat and held his ground, to Rosa Parks who simply said no, to Bunni Pounds who said yes to a vision that seemed impossible from the start—the series has shown one thing over and over. Real faith takes courage. And courage is not merely believing the Truth. It is living it, despite perceived or real personal risk. So how do you walk it out? Tune in to find out—Richard offers four practical points to help you run your race, stay focused, and stop letting the world around you decide who you are going to be.

    "Fatherhood: What the World Is Getting Wrong and What God Says"

    It is not your last mistake that defines you. It is your next opportunity to be the man God wants you to be. In this Father’s Day episode, host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow and his wingman Christy Mendelow speak directly to what this day is really about. Not the cards, not the grilling, not the commercial version of fatherhood. The real thing. The United States has the highest rate of fatherless children of any nation on earth. An estimated 18 million children are growing up without a father. Studies show that the vast majority of school shooters came from unstable or fatherless homes. The enemy knows exactly where to strike—and he has been striking there for a long time. So, this is the question every man needs to sit with: Are you the man you want to be? Are you the father you should be? And if not—what is stopping you? Whatever your past, whatever your mistakes, wherever you are right now—with Christ, there is always a next step. Make time for a conversation that could change how you show up for your family.

    "The Plank in Your Own Eye" Anger, Accountability, and the Man in the Mirror"

    The only behavior you control is your own. The world gives you plenty of reasons to be angry. Scripture gives you a different instruction—take the plank out of your own eye first. That is Matthew 7. And it is not a suggestion. This week on the show, host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow and guest Pastor Steve Dennis bring one of the most downloaded conversations of the year back to the airwaves. Anger, integrity, and what it actually looks like to be a Christian in a world that is working hard to provoke you into being anything but. Before you can be the man God is calling you to be—as a Christian, a husband, a father—you have to be honest about what is actually driving your thoughts, your words, and your reactions. Is it Scripture? Or is it the world? Make time for a conversation that will make you ask the hard questions about the man you see in the mirror.

    "Real Faith for the Real World: From Normandy to Now—The Fight Between Good and Evil Is Far From Over"

    82 years ago on June 6, 1944, 160,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to fight pure evil. They didn't negotiate with it. They didn't look the other way. They stood against it at the cost of everything. The battle between good and evil has not ended. It has just moved to different ground. That same fight is playing out today. Michigan State Representative Karen Whitsett stepped away from a successful political career because she could no longer reconcile her Christian faith with her party's platform. She didn't come out swinging. She stood her ground. And it cost her. In this week’s show, host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow, wingman Christy Mendelow, and guest Jeff Egli use her story as a model—not a political one, but a Christian one. What does it actually look like to put your life in alignment with your faith? What does it look like to pull away from the mob, stand firm, and refuse to call evil good? You don't have to be a politician to face that question. You face it every day. Listen and find out what it looks like to stand firm when the fight between good and evil lands at your door.
