    The Eclipse of God: Standing on Truth in a Secular Age with Dr. Erwin Lutzer

    Dr. Erwin Lutzer, Pastor Emeritus of The Moody Church is back with Jenny to explore the cultural and theological crisis facing America today, emphasizing the need to return to a biblical understanding of God amidst rising secularism.  Dr. Lutzer shares wisdom and insight on our culture and the distorted view it has of God. He shows us how to engage people with truth, as he encourages believers to persevere and be the light in an ever increasingly dark world. His latest book, “The Eclipse of God:: Our Nation's Disastrous Search for a More Inclusive Deity” exposes our nation’s disastrous efforts to redefine God in its own image. The resulting damage is evident in our world and churches today. “Americans don’t mind saying they believe in God, just as long as they get to choose the God in whom they believe.” He explains objective truth has existed outside of us, but now the criterion of truth has now moved to inside the individual human being, so that’s why there is so much confusion in the world today. “Love and Truth are not enemies - love rejoices in the truth.” God has not changed. We need God for truth, for morality and law. Dr. Lutzer emphasizes we need to return to the God of the Bible and not the gods of popular culture. As believers in Christ, we need to make sure we do not bow to the culture, but teach what the Bible teaches and live with the consequences. The question is,“What price are you willing to pay for  truth?” You can hear Dr. Lutzer on his daily radio broadcast “Running To Win.” He is an award-winning author of over 50 books, including “We Will Not Be Silenced.” You can find Pastor Lutzer’s sermons, articles, and media at moody church.org.  Their interview is from at the 2025 NRB - International Christian Media Convention. You can hear the entire interview on a future “Crossroads With Jenny Bushkell. You can see his videos on you tube and for more info on Dr.Lutzer, his books and “Running To Win go to: moodymedia.org.

    Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matt 11:28.

Seiple,  is a Licensed Counselor and Author of The Sacred Art of Slowing Down;  Find Relief from Rushed Living, Soothe Your Soul, and Restore Wholeness Within.

Seiple encourages us to make deliberate decisions to tune in to what’s happening in our bodies because this also impacts our spiritual, emotional, and physical wellbeing. We constantly move through a mixture of emotions in life—everything from fear, joy, pain, surprise, grief, rest, and panic” says Seiple. “These can overwhelm us. Freeze us. We can’t stop the complexities of life from being messy.” But, we can make some changes! You can get connected with Anna at her website acseiple.com  and you can find more about her book.

    A U.S. Secret Service Agent’s 9/11 Story of Survival: Living With A Valiant Purpose

    “It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 31:8 Anyone who is old enough has memories of where we were when our world changed forever when the Al Qaeda terror attacks happened on Sept 11, 2001. I am commemorating the anniversary of 9/11 by speaking with Jenny’s guest, Darin Kinder, a U.S. Secret Service agent was inside the World Trade Center in New York City preparing to go into a meeting when the twin towers were hit by two hijacked jetliners as debris from the plane, chunks of the building, and burning jet fuel rained down.  Amid the chaos and destruction, Darin felt God speak to him, assuring him that he was not alone.  In the midst of this harrowing event, he and some co-workers led others to safety. This traumatic experience would change his life — and set him on a mission to discover God’s purpose can come out of pain. He earned the U.S. Secret Service’s highest award for bravery - the Medal of Valor for his heroism that day. He’s a Speaker & the Author of “Bury Me In A Dirty Suit,”  a compelling eyewitness account of 911 and explores what it means to live with a valiant purpose.  He’s the founder of Fierce Faith, a Christian organization that encourages men to live purposefully serving God.  His book is dedicated to the 422 first responders who died in the line of duty responding to the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001.
