    Brooke Brown, Ms. Wheelchair Arizona, Author, and Founder, Butterfly Touch: Sharing Inspiration through Testimony and Story

    The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua! To say that Brooke Brown is an inspiration is an understatement. As she spoke to Northwest Christian secondary students in two chapels during January 2026, the room was completely quiet.  "Speaking" from a wheelchair, using a voice augmentation app, Brooke held two different 600+ audiences completely spellbound. Her message was profoundly simple and two-fold.  First, when you first meet a person, like her, who is atypically abled, assume competence.  Second, all of us typically or atypically abled, are Imago Dei -- carefully crafted by a Creator, in His image and likeness. Today, you have the opportunity to take this chapel message further and to hear, within a Kingdom Culture Conversation, about Brooke, her life, her cerebral palsy, and the unbelievable courage that drives her forward within her story.

    Joe Infranco, Adult Education Pastor, Highlands Church: Special Needs Ministry, Blurry Creatures, and The Telepathy Tapes

    The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua! Do not push play!  Do what you must do to skip this episode! That would be the advice offered by Northwest Christian superintendent and Kingdom Culture Conversation co-host Geoff Brown. Why? Because this particular episode of Kingdom Culture Conversations will blow your mind.  Or, if not your mind, it just might blow up the convenient buffer that many Evangelical Christians have placed between themselves and the spiritual realm.  Although Scripture is filled with references to and stories about angels, demons, and a vast spiritual cosmology, for most of us, that reality remains unconsidered and unexplored. And, in some (perhaps most?) instances, for good reason.  We abide within a culture infatuated with demonic darkness in horror movies, music, television, books, podcasts, and more.  At times, it seems as though the only safe harbor to sail within the spiritual realm is truly anchored within the word of God. So, as today's episode launches into Joe Infranco's experiences with some special needs students who are describing engagement with the ethereal, God's word remains our lifeline. But, should you choose to hit play, make sure you have God's word handy, and be prepared to be challenged to think Biblically and critically!

    Tanner Webb, Sixth Grade Bible Teacher, Northwest Christian School: Candid Conversations about the Secondary Bible Program (Part 1)

    The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua! Each year, the Northwest Christian School Board enjoys a session with the entire Northwest Christian secondary Bible team.  The open-ended conversation includes highs and lows, strengths and weaknesses, and a focus on whether or not the program is truly impacting students and helping them to develop a Biblical worldview. Following the January 2026 version of the conversation, we recognized that we wanted to take it further and, in the spirit of transparency and authenticity, open it up for all to hear and participate.  As a result, over the next several weeks and months, Kingdom Culture Conversations is going to take the time to walk through these conversations with each of the school's secondary Bible teachers. Today, we begin with Tanner Webb who is in his third year of teaching sixth grade Bible.  An alumni of Northwest Christian, Tanner has the unique perspective reviewing the strengths and weaknesses of the program as both teacher and student.

From hairy fruit to child rescue, today's Kingdom Culture Conversation certainly runs the spectrum! Lonney Moore is a missionary with Hope Partners, an international, worldwide ministry enterprise that focuses on placing change-makers into communities wherein poverty takes many different forms.  While financial poverty is the sort that most of us imagine when we think of the needs within developing nations, the truth is that poverty can be spiritual, moral, and more.  Today, Lonney walks us through what that looks like specifically in Costa Rica.

    Mike Lee, Pastor, Mission Valley: Getting Out in Front - Don't Wait for Your Kids to Do Dumb Things

    The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua! Proactive vs. reactive.   We know that they are going to mess up.  They're gonna do something really dumb.  (It's kind of in their job descriptions.) Too often, we allow 'fate' to guide our families, reacting to situations and circumstances as they develop.  This is especially dangerous when it comes to discipling and disciplining our kids.  Today, Mike Lee encourages families to take a proactive approach to the dumbness, not be shocked when it happens, and begin the coaching early...

    Mark Reiswig, Northwest Christian Bible Teachers: Time Amidst the Persecuted Delivers Some Surprising Insights

    The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua! This past summer, Mark Reiswig, Northwest Christian's 8th grade Bible teacher, travelled with Voice of the Martyrs to Nigeria.  Over the last few years, the encroaching influence of Islam in northern Nigeria has produced a hotbed of persecution -- and, tragically, martyrdom -- for the minority Christian population.  In travelling to Nigeria, Mark knew this would be an intense and insightful trip...but he was not prepared for the things that God showed him...
