CABRINI: The Film's Producer Vowed Only to Make Films Which Honor God
Twenty years ago, Mexican actor Eduardo Verastegui made a promise
to God that he would not do any work that offended his Catholic faith, his
family or his culture. The vow meant he didn't work for four years as he had to
constantly turn down offers. Then he started a production company with two
friends and together produced "Sound of Freedom," about child
trafficking and sexual exploitation that starred Jim Caviezel as the agent who
hunts down traffickers. And now Verastegui's new film, "CABRINI."
On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Verastegui talks about Cabrini,
which tells the saga of Mother Cabrini, Frances Xavier Cabrini, an Italian
immigrant Catholic nun whose feistiness defied her frail health. She fought the
power structure of the Catholic Church and the city of New York, to build
orphanages, hospitals and schools, relieving the poverty of Italian immigrant
children. Verastegui says 100% of the film's profits will go to charity, continuing
the work of Mother Cabrini.

Getting Christians Politically Engaged is Bunni Pounds' Specialty - There's Too Much At Stake in 2024
Former GOP consultant Bunni Pounds may have lost an election for U.S. Congress, but she gained valuable experience. And she's using that experience to mobilize Christians to come out and vote. In 2020, some 25 million sat on the sidelines and didn't cast their ballots. Now Pounds, from the great state of Texas, is pulling out all the political stops to make a serious dent in that number. She's created an organization that shows churches how to get their congregations involved in praying, engaging, registering, and researching candidates and issues. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, recorded at the NRB Convention in Nashville, Pounds talks about her book "Jesus and Politics: One Woman's Walk With God in a Mudslinging Profession." The bottom line is, if Christians want to live out a biblical worldview, then they must lobby government; because government has the power to subvert and control their lives. Pounds says the problem has been that "We keep this separation between what we think is secular and sacred, and not see that God should encompass every part of our life, even our civic duties."

Pastor Jack Hibbs Answers Democrat Critics for His Prayer in Congress
Who knew prayer could be so offensive to so many? But that's exactly the
reaction Pastor Jack Hibbs received from several members of Congress after he
gave a prayer on January 30th to open their session. Hibbs is the pastor of
mega church Calvary Chapel in Chino Hills, California. House Speaker Mike
Johnson invited him to deliver the invocation. In his prayer, Hibbs called for
"humility and repentance of national sins in a time of great need." In a letter that
was sent to the Speaker of the House, 26 Democrats accused Hibbs of being "an
ill-qualified hate preacher" who was pushing a "Christian Nationalist
agenda", according to Roll Call. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith
podcast, recorded from the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in
Nashville, TN, Pastor Hibbs answers the Democrats' accusations, talks about
what he prayed for, and why he believes it rankled the nerves of those on the
left. He also discusses his new book, "Daze of Deception: How to Discern
Truth from Culture's Lies."

The Lighthouse As Your Guide To A Daily Walk With God
There's a hunger in this world for God. You may not know it; you may not feel it. But the insatiable need for a transcendent love that surpasses all understanding, is at the root of all our angst and anguish. Just think about this year's Grammy Song of the Year, "What Was I Made For?" It may be the Billie Eilish tune for the movie Barbie, but it may as well be the soundtrack of this generation's burning question: What's the purpose of my life? Why am I here? With mounting levels of despair, depression and suicide, the secular world in all its technology, A.I. and social media, needs answers. And I know that the Word of God is what they're looking for. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, theologian, author and Christian defender Dr. Alex McFarland, joins me to talk about my new book, "Light For Today: A 365 Day Devotional from the Lighthouse." I've rarely inserted myself as the subject of these podcasts, but I wanted to let listeners know that God is Love. And whatever needs we have He can meet. It takes a daily walk with Him. Reading His word and listening to His voice. God works in the natural everyday existence; in the simple, even in seemingly mundane. God is with us. He is a our refuge and strength.

Professor: Get Married, Stay Married: A Recipe for Health, Wealth and Happiness
The data doesn't lie. Getting married and staying married benefits
women, children... and men. Social scientist, Professor Brad Wilcox, gives
convincing proof that marriage, despite being much maligned today, is actually
a better way to live, well, happily ever after. But there are some caveats.
First, the myth of the soul mate. No human is perfect and so no potential
spouse, no matter how much he or she makes your heart flutter, is capable of
fulfilling your every desire. Sooner or later the butterflies go free and what
remains is the reality of a relationship that takes work. But it's well worth
it.
On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Wilcox, Professor of
sociology at the University of Virginia and a "Future of Freedom" Fellow
at the Institute for Family Studies, breaks down the evidence he found while
researching his new book, "GET MARRIED: Why Americans must Defy the
Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization." It's a tall order,
but the data shows that coming from a two-parent household is a better
reassurance that a child will do well in school, be happier and have a better
chance of achieving the American dream. Case in point, Ivy League colleges and
universities have an overabundance of overachievers with one common
denominator, the majority come from stable, two parent households. Wilcox
points out, this is actually odd since many professors at these liberal
establishments tout diversity of family types--single parent, parents never
married --but in their own lives represent the more traditional, married
parents with children.

Promise Keepers Dares Men to Reclaim Biblical Manhood
In the more than 25 years since Promise Keepers began, the culture
has shifted tremendously. And it's not been a positive move for men.
Masculinity is called "toxic", and "straight white male" has
become a euphemism for "devil incarnate". But Promise Keepers
president Ken Harris and Dr. A.R. Bernard, the Senior pastor of New York mega
church, Christian Cultural Center, are undaunted, and fearless in beckoning men
to biblical manhood, and understand and live out what God has called them to
be. It is not the secular culture or social media that defines a man, or the
purpose for which he was born, it is God. Later this month Promise Keepers will
meet in Florida, where thousands of men will step out in a move of "Daring
Faith" hoping to build men of God. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith
podcast, Harris and Bernard speak about the problems men face in the world today,
the messages they get wrong, and spiritual solutions to both.

Bible under freedom of speech and religion
You are always a delight Lauren, and Paivi was calm and clear about her beliefs. I pray she makes a compelling case for the Bible to the legislature in Finland.
