Cash and valuable prizes have changed college sports ministry Mike Blanc, director of pro and elite sports ministries for FCA A Family Life Special News Feature Now that the brackets are set for the NCAA women's and men's basketball tournaments, we explore a new era for college sports.  Court rulings now say that "amateur" players across all college sports can earn payments for use of their "name, image, and likeness".  While these athletes can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars -- and for a few prime stars, one or more millions -- a leader in the national Fellowship of Christian Athletes says there is a downside for many of these young students. Mike Blanc, a former Pittsburgh Steeler and now FCA's director for pro and elite sports, says the "NIL" era has opened new and important opportunities for Christian ministry. He tells us that the big payoffs result in big pressure. Someone who is given so much money to play his or her sport also carries the expectation that they must perform at a level that is worth that investment. That, Blanc says, flies in the face of the individual's value as measured through the Lord's grace. This is our second interview with Mike Blanc, who is also is a veteran of sports ministry for the University of Miami. You can hear our first conversation with him -- about how more bigtime coaches and athletes are being bold in talking about and demonstrating their faith. These public figures in turn can inspire teammates, fans, and school-age athletes to be open with sharing their faith. Find that podcast on www.FamilyLife.org/newspodcasts as our 3/03/2025 Special Feature.  

Current Health Care Trends: "Big Picture" issues in 2025 One physician's persepctives on where America is with our health care system This week marks the 5th anniversary of Covid-related lockdowns in the U.S. A handful of new measles cases in the nation has people asking new questions about vaccines. The president's new Health and Human Services secretary is promising some major changes for the health care industry. And, the average American household is spending more than $1 of every $6 they have in annual on health care.  (And that is only their share of insurance, deductibles and out-of-pocket costs. That doesn't include what the Federal and state governments pay, employers' share of insurance, charitable medical assistance, or the effects when local hospitals write off hundreds of thousands in unpaid bills.) Yes. The health care system is one of the universally-impactful aspects of our lives.  Our guest on today's Family Life News Feature offers his overview on what we need to know about American medicine these days. Dr. Chad Savage operates his own private medical practice and is connected with a Christian organization called Samaritan Ministries. He offers his commentary on Covid, how the actions in 2020 and beyond have increased public questions and skepticism about vaccines and "official" health advisories. Greg Gillispie also asked him how Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and upcoming Trump Administration policies might change our health care options. Savage also describes what we need to know about who pays for health care, how that affects doctors and clinics, and how it affects patients. 

A "Lover's Quarrel" with Evangelicals Family Life News talks with Warren Smith of MinistryWatch.com Christian journalist Warren Smith has a "lover's quarrel" with the evangelical church.He says many congregations and denominations are inwardly-focused on their problems, and fail to live up to a biblical mandate to be "salt and light" into their surrounding culture: Smith writes a response to others who point to how, for some people, the Christian faith has been "deconstructed" during the current era. His call is for individual Christians, congregations, denominations and faith networks to reclaim the identity which Jesus Christ gave to it. He encourages a reflection on how people of faith measure success. He is concerned that many pockets of the church "measure the wrong things", saying that the size of membership and budgets and programs has replaced the measurement of faithfulness, community, love, long-suffering, joy and other Fruit of the Spirit. This can be an important conversation for you and your household, and might be a discussion starter for leadership groups in your church.   Warren Smith is the president of the national Christian news website "Ministry Watch". Their website, MinistryWatch.com, has an excerpt from the book we discussed in this interview (in text and audio formats), plus news about the church and its people, trends in the culture, and insights for donors to large Christian organizations. He and his team also provide weekly podcasts related to the latest developments and trends in the church and in the culture.

Faith on the Field, the Court, the Diamond Prominent athletes are sharing their Christian priorities in interviews, on social media, and in the public images We heard it in the post-game interviews from the winning coach and quarterback at this year's Super Bowl. Those very public statements of faith circled the globe in the biggest media event of the year. Are these public stances of Christians who are sports stars in a new era? And, how to the "big league" athletes being unashamed of their faith influencing the athletes elsewhere in pro leagues, colleges and local high schools? Family Life offers a special interview with a former Pittsburgh Steeler who talks about evangelism from national and local athletes -- and the rest of us. Mike Blanc played collegiate and professional football, with Auburn, the Chargers, and the Steelers. After his playing days, Blanc became the chaplain for University of Miami's athletics.  He now directs outreach with pro and elite athletes as a national leader in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. This is our first of two interview with the FCA's Mike Blanc. In our followup conversation, he talks about the new opportunities for ministry among top college athletes, in the new "NIL" era -- when students can make money (often lots of it) by licensing their Name, Image, and Likeness.

 Making Choices about College --- in light of Higher Education's higher price tag a Family Life News Interview Costs to attend a college or university has skyrocketed. And most of those tuition and room and board costs are being paid with borrowed money. The total student debt in America in the past two decades has mushroomed more that 600 percent.  In an interview for the Family Life Noon Report, Bob Price asked New York-based higher education financial advisor Paul Celuch about: what the economics of college choices are like these days how a student loan should be thought of the same way homeowners understand their mortgage what students and their families (either preparing to start school or already at a university) should consider to avoid money mistakes and keep education financially feasible   The Family Life Noon Report covers the latest news from Pennsylvania, New York, across the nation and around the world, with insights shaped by a Biblical worldview.

The Middle East awaits a Saturday hostage deadline A special Newsmaker Interview from Family Life News - 2/13/25 A Saturday (February 15) deadline looms, as American President Donald Trump promises consequences if Hamas fails to expedite the release of hostages held in Gaza for more than 16 months. Various reports have indicated that a weeks-long cease fire between Israel and Hamas is at risk. Family Life News got first-person reaction from Israel Wednesday night. Aryeh Myers is a coordinator for Magen David Adom, the national Emergency Services system for the nation of Israel.  In this interview with Family Life's Greg Gillispie, Myers talks about public sentiment among Israelis, as some hostages are now home, some are still unaccounted for, and the potential for new attacks swirls around them.

Refugee Agencies Scramble to Fill the Gap A special edition of the Inside Out podcast with Martha Manikas-Foster  Government funding for refugee resettlement in the US has stopped for at least 90 days. This leaves America’s often faith-based resettlement agencies like World Relief scrambling to make up for the money the government contributes as a partner in the resettlement process. Why would refugee agencies have expenses during President Donald Trump’s 90-day pause in resettlement? The federal government and resettlement agencies work together over 90 days to acclimate new arrivals, and many refugees were still in that window when the funds were frozen. During those three months the agencies find housing and job opportunities for the new arrivals, and connect them with medical, educational, and community resources. The agencies are on their own to support this work during the funding freeze. Today on this Inside Out podcast my guest is author and speaker Matthew Soerens. He talks about what makes a refugee different from some other immigrants (our government vets them before they set foot on American soil), and Jesus’ call on His Church to minister to the vulnerable (“whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me’ Matthew 25:40). Soerens is the Vice President of Advocacy & Policy for the Christian humanitarian organization World Relief, an arm of the National Association of Evangelicals and one of the nation’s refugee resettlement agencies. Soerens is also National Coordinator for the Evangelical Immigration Table. He is co-author of the books “Seeking Refuge: On the Shores of the Global Refugee Crisis,” “Welcoming the Stranger: Justice, Compassion & Truth in the Immigration Debate,” and “Inalienable: How Marginalized Kingdom Voices Can Help Save the American Church.”   Connect with World Relief at www.WorldRelief.org Find books by Matthew Soerens here. #insideoutfamilylifenewswww.FamilyLife.org/newspodcasts
