    Episode 623: Is America Worth Showing Up For? Dr. Alex McFarland on Voting as Christian Stewardship - Audio

    Is America worth showing up for? On this timely episode of LoveTalk Network, Cathy Endebrock and Coach Kerri Brinkoeter sit down with Christian apologist, author, and cultural analyst Dr. Alex McFarland to talk about why voting is not just a civic privilege—it’s a spiritual responsibility for followers of Christ. With midterm elections upon us, many believers feel discouraged, overwhelmed, or convinced their single vote doesn’t matter. Dr. McFarland challenges that mindset with clarity and urgency, explaining: Why only a small percentage of the church typically votes—and why that must change How to evaluate candidates through a biblical worldview instead of media narratives or personalities Why the issue of life is foundational, and why voting for pro-abortion candidates is a serious matter for Christians Practical questions every voter should ask before stepping into the ballot box Why close races (sometimes decided by a handful of votes) prove your single vote and engagement truly matters You’ll also hear a strong call to stewardship, a reminder that freedom requires tending, and practical encouragement to grab friends, research candidates, and show up.

    Episode 622: America's Women with guest Kim Miller - Reclaiming Biblical Strength in a Confused Culture - Audio

    What does it really mean to be a woman of influence in America today? On this episode of Love Talk Network, Coach Kerri and Cathy welcome Kim Miller, Founder and President of America’s Women. Together they unpack the tension between the Proverbs 31 woman and modern cultural messages about womanhood—and why God never called women to stay small. Kim shares her powerful personal journey to faith, how a small text group of eight women in 2020 grew into a movement of nearly 40,000, and the practical tools she’s giving women across the country: • Why women determine elections (and the shocking voting gap between men and women) • The “You + 2” challenge – one simple way to multiply your impact • How to stay informed without becoming angry or overwhelmed • SALT groups: Strategically Advancing Love & Truth • Why midterm elections matter more than most Christians realize • Practical next steps: newsletters, voter guides, school boards, and praying for legislators Whether you’re distracted, discouraged, or already fully engaged, this conversation will equip you to rise up with strength and dignity—smiling at the future—exactly as Proverbs 31 describes.

    Episode 621: Financial Health Checkup: The HEALTH Framework for Building Wealth God’s Way - Audio

    Is your money working as hard as you are… or is it just sitting there hoping for the best? On this episode of Love Talk Network, Coach Kerri and Cathy sit down with Craig Larson and Justin Garcia of Larson Financial Advisors for a full financial health checkup. Using the simple HEALTH acronym, they break down what real financial wellness looks like—beyond just “making more money.” You’ll discover: • H – Holistic Wealth: Why looking at one account at a time keeps you stuck • E – Efficiency & Taxes: How smart tax planning (not just tax prep) keeps more of what you earn • A – Asset Allocation & Risk: Matching your investments to your risk personality (not just your age) • L – Legacy & Estate: The costly mistakes families make when they put this off • T – Transition & Retirement: Why a big portfolio isn’t the same as a successful retirement • H – Habits & Next Steps: Practical first moves (including the power of the first $100k) Whether you’re just starting out, running a business, or heading toward “work optional,” this conversation gives clear, faith-rooted next steps you can actually use. Craig and Justin also explain the difference a true fee-only fiduciary makes—and how to get a free, no-obligation consultation.

    What does it mean to serve when serving comes at a cost? In this powerful episode of Love Talk Network, Kathy Inderbrock and Coach Carrie Brinkader sit down with Bishop Daniel, President of GFA World, for a raw and hope-filled conversation about the global Church — the courageous servants who bring food, water, medical care, and the love of Christ to the most vulnerable… and the dying saints who risk everything to follow Jesus. You’ll hear: The shocking reality of Christian persecution (1 in 7 believers worldwide face high levels of it) Why national missionaries are so effective in unreached places The remarkable story behind GFA World’s 300+ bed tertiary hospital rising in Kigali, Rwanda How practical compassion (water wells, literacy, medical care, Christmas gift distributions) opens hearts to the gospel A theology of suffering that most Western Christians have lost Why following Jesus will always cost us something — and why that cost is worth it Bishop Daniel also shares the free book Revolution in World Missions (over 4 million copies in print) that he says will “ruin your life” in the best possible way.

    In this powerful episode of LoveTalk Network, Coach kerri and Cathy talk with two women who are passionate about helping kids succeed through reading.

    Episode 616: Faith Without Compromise with Guest Bill Abbott, CEO Great American Medi - Audio

    Media has incredible influence on our worldview (the comprehensive framework of beliefs, values, and ideas through which we interpret reality and interact with the world). Research shows that 72% of our worldview is formed by media influences. Media has the power to heavily shape what we believe about family, faith, government, relationships, personal identity, and countless other factors of life. Who controls the script in media and what we choose to watch holds far more sway on both ourselves and our future generations than we realize. Cathy and Coach Kerri welcome guest Bill Abbott, CEO of Great American Media, a major Christian Media Group that is turning the tables on a Hollywood. We will hear how God called Bill away from leading a well-known secular entertainment organization, that was sliding deeper and deeper into woke scripts and themes, and called him into building a quality Christian programming ecosystem that now reaches over 50 million homes. We are grateful that God has been raising up leaders in Media to provide faith-filled, family focused, country honoring viewing options that are desperately needed to build up families in today's culture.
