  • Who actually decided which books belong in your Bible—and can you trust that decision? In this podcast episode, cold case detective and Christian apologist J. Warner Wallace applies investigative logic to the canon question, showing why the New Testament wasn’t invented by a church council but recognized using criteria that were already embedded in Scripture itself.

    When a Community Lifts Together
    On August 19th 2026, ABC7 Los Angeles published “LAPD bodycam video shows dramatic rescue of person pinned under car after crash.” The story is simple, urgent, and inspiring: after a crash left someone trapped beneath a vehicle, an LAPD officer quickly gathered nearby community members and directed them to lift the car. Together, they freed

  • We have all been gifted by God to do something in this life. How do we live in a way that displays the Gospel at the forefront of our lives? How do we remain persistent in prayer while waiting to hear from God? And what about when it comes to dealing with someone who's theology is flawed?

  • When ministry becomes tied to income, platform, or status, it becomes harder to tell whether the driving motive is worship or survival, gratitude or self-preservation. Volunteerism, in the biblical sense, pushes directly against this drift. Serving with no expectation of return trains the heart to see God as the true rewarder, protects against the subtle pull of sex, money, and power as currencies of ministry success, and keeps believers tethered to the simple joy of obedience rather than the rush of visibility.

    Service or Volunteerism? Why the Difference Matters for Every Christian
    Many Christians use the words “service” and “volunteering” as if they were interchangeable, but the difference between them quietly shapes how believers think about calling, ministry, and identity in the church. In everyday life, “service” usually describes a professional, paid, or obligatory role, while “volunteering” sounds like something extra—a nice add-on for especially generous people.

  • Critics claim the Gospels — Matthew, Mark, Luke and John — were written decades or more after the events they describe, which renders them at best of questionable reliability in providing accurate accounts.


    Strobel and Wallace leave no doubt that, to the contrary, judged on the basis of the same standards for admission of evidence in investigative journalism and law enforcement, the Gospels are based on absolutely solid reporting and description.

    One of the most useful observations in Police1’s article, “The Partner at Home: Maintaining a Strong First Responder Marriage, Relationship,” concerns decompression. After a difficult shift or critical incident, officers often need a period of quiet before we can move from the “first responder mindset” back into the role of husband, wife, father, or mother.
