    "On the Double: Why Taking It Straight to God Matters"

    Every conversation is going somewhere. The question is: Who is directing it? When God and His Word enter the conversation late, fear, frustration and opinion have already had time to take command. How far has the conversation already traveled without God?

Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow examine what happens when we allow conversations, struggles and decisions to travel too far without God. Are you wrestling forward with the Lord or struggling in circles? Are you focused on what God has placed before you or overwhelmed by battles far beyond your reach? And when the pressure rises, whose voice determines your response? Press play now and hear how taking your conversations, struggles and decisions straight to God can change their direction—and reduce the collateral damage along the way.

    "Commander's Intent: Finding God's Will in Every Situation"

    Host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) draws on a term from his Marine Corps days for this episode: commander's intent. Every mission statement has two parts — what you're supposed to do and why. That “why” is always part of the order, but Colonel Mendelow points to what it does for you when things don't go as planned — it's what guides you, especially when the plan falls apart. In this episode, Colonel Mendelow and his wingman Christy Mendelow bring that same idea into daily life. A flat tire on the freeway. A coworker crying in the break room. Colonel Mendelow names God's commander's intent directly from Scripture — that He would be glorified, that we would love the Lord and love our neighbor as ourselves, and that none shall be lost. From there, the choice got simple: what is the loving thing to do here. Colonel Mendelow tells a story from his own driveway that put this to the test — a costly mistake, a stressed-out contractor, and a decision that had nothing to do with what he was owed. Listen now and hear what he chose. Listen at CourageousChristianity.today or on select podcast platforms.

    "Seen and Known: The Heart of Prayer"

    To speak to a general, Colonel Richard Mendelow needed an appointment. A respectful knock. Permission to enter. Because of Christ, we come into God's presence freely — not because we've earned it, but because His work on the cross has already opened the door. In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow talk about prayer — not as a last resort when everything else has failed, not as a vending machine for requests, but as moment-by-moment intimacy with a loving Father who already knows our hearts. Living in that intimacy means being willing to be seen. Vulnerable. Honest about our failures instead of pretending we have it together. Richard and Christy share a story that still convicts them — an encounter with a stranger in need where they offered money but missed the chance to offer prayer. Missed opportunities like that don't have to end in regret. They can prepare us not to miss the next one. Find out what it looks like to walk in prayer with God.

    "Threats to Christianity, Series Finale: It All Comes Back to Us"

    You've been told the enemy is out there. Turns out there's one we haven't named. Over the last few weeks, Richard and Christy have talked about the external threats to our faith on “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow” — comfort, opinions that don't line up with Scripture, what the world is doing to our kids. In the series finale, they bring it full circle: it all ultimately comes back to us. Every one of those threats wins with our passivity, not knowing our Bibles, our pride, not living out what we say we believe, our desire to fit in, or our fear of standing firm. Paul told Timothy to wage a fine campaign, maintaining faith and good conscience all the time — and that's the charge for all of us. Find out why your response is the one thing you can control.

    "Threats to Christianity, Part 3: The Quiet Danger of Comfort"

    The Marine Corps has a saying: the more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed in wartime. It applies just as much to faith as it does to combat. In this episode of “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow,” host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow continued the Threats to Christianity series with guest Jeff Egli—airline captain, rancher, and a man who understands the connection between hard work, struggle, and character. Together they took on a threat that doesn’t announce itself the way persecution or opinion does. It’s quieter than that. It’s comfort. Life is good. Church is an hour on Sunday. There are donuts, there’s coffee, and it’s easy to mistake that rhythm for the fullness of what faith is supposed to be. But Scripture is clear: our faith is either living and growing, or it’s dying. There is no still water. Like gold refined in fire, our faith is proven pure through struggle, not the absence of it. Romans 5 says suffering produces perseverance, perseverance produces character, and character produces hope—not comfort. Find out why comfort might be one of the most dangerous places a Christian can sit still. Available now at CourageousChristianity.today and wherever you get your podcasts.

    "Threats to Christianity, Part 2: The Danger of Opinions"

    Fools find no pleasure in understanding, but delight in airing their opinions. Proverbs 18:2 said it 2,000 years ago. Social media continues to prove it. In Part 2 of the Threats to Christianity series, host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow address a threat that is not coming from the outside. It is coming from within—what Christians are doing to Christianity themselves. Opinions. Everyone has them. Christians share them freely—about the WNBA, about politics, about the Bible—often without having read it. And in doing so, the testimony of Christ is damaged, the uniform of Christ is dishonored, and the enemy scores a victory without firing a single shot. The military has a term for it: "combat ineffective." A unit that can no longer fight. That can no longer do its job. The devil does not need to silence Christians. He just needs to get them talking—loudly, wrongly, and without Scripture. Make sure your words are not working against the very faith you claim to represent.

    "Freedom of Speech and the Christian’s Responsibility"

    Your words are not your own. That is not a suggestion for Christians—it is the truth of what it means to follow Jesus. Everything you say, post, text, or speak into the world reflects Him. And in a culture where everyone has a voice and many don't seem to have the discipline to use it wisely, that responsibility has never mattered more. The First Amendment protects your right to say what you want. But Scripture holds you to a far higher standard—and for Christians, what is at stake goes far beyond a constitutional right. In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow ask what God's Word says about how a Christian stewards that freedom. Before you speak, before you post, before you send—three questions worth sitting with: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind? You are not your own. And neither are your words. Find out what it looks like to be impeccable with your word. Available now on CourageousChristianity.today, on KKHT.com, iHeart Radio, or on select podcast platforms.

    "Threats to Christianity, Part 1: The Attack on Our Children"

    The enemy is not hiding. He is working in your child’s classroom, on their phone, and in the culture that surrounds them every single day. In this first episode of a new series, host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow address one of the most urgent threats facing Christians today—what is being done to our children. President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission delivered a historic report in June 2026. The testimonies are real. An elementary student bullied for his faith. A teacher told to remove a cross or lose her job. An 11-year-old girl pressured by school authorities to believe she was a boy. This is not hypothetical. This is the battlefield. The victory is already assured in Christ. But the fight is real and it is now. Find out what it looks like to prepare yourself and your children for the battlefield they face every single day.
