Living with Biblical Convictions in a Compromising Culture
Daniel 1:8 "But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king’s choice food or with the wine which he drank; so he sought permission from the commander of the officials that he might not defile himself" In this episode of Real Truth for Today, Pastor Jeff Schreve challenges Christians to stand firm on their convictions and refuse to compromise biblical truth. Using Daniel's example, he explains why believers need convictions that are firmly rooted in God's Word rather than beliefs that can easily be changed by cultural pressure. Pastor Jeff discusses the importance of Christians being involved in the political process, evaluating candidates according to their convictions and positions on important moral issues. He also addresses the influence of socialism, secularism, and Islam on American culture and emphasizes the need for Christians to speak the truth in love while remaining faithful to Scripture. The program also explores the importance of living out one's faith consistently, being a light in a dark culture, and standing for Christ even when doing so comes with opposition or personal cost. Pastor Jeff takes listener calls and shares why his passion for hurting and broken people comes from a desire to point them toward the hope found in Jesus.

The Troubling Idolization of Criminals
Bishop E.. W. Jackson addresses the troubling trend of idolizing individuals who have committed heinous crimes. He discusses the case of Luigi Mangione, who pleaded guilty to murder, and examines the societal fascination and support for him and others like George Philly DA and Carmela Anthony. Bishop E. W. Jackson argues that moral relativism has seeped into our culture, leading to a dangerous acceptance of violence and crime. He calls for a return to absolute moral standards rooted in biblical principles and challenges listeners to stand firm in their beliefs. Chapters: (01:03) Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty to murdering Brian Thompson (21:55) When you throw out God's absolute morality, anything goes (29:04) I was thinking about this particular verse in Galatians, chapter five (38:56) We need to reject moral relativism (49:01) We better start following the word of God and not listening to cultural relativism

AI Data Centers Spark Debate Over Energy Costs and National Security
The Today’s Issues team examines the growing debate over artificial intelligence data centers as Bernie Sanders and other critics call for restrictions over electricity and water use. The hosts consider arguments that expanding computing capacity is a national security priority while discussing concerns about utility costs, local opposition, government power, and public distrust surrounding AI infrastructure. The program also looks at a purported Los Angeles mayoral poll that was later described by its creators as a social experiment. The hosts discuss how the fabricated polling information spread through political media and what the episode could mean for public confidence in polling and election coverage. The team then turns to Great Britain, where language in the Sovereign Grant report describing the monarch’s religious role changed from “defender of the faith” to language about protecting space for faith in a multi-faith nation. The hosts criticize the change and discuss King Charles, the Church of England, religious pluralism, and the influence of Britain’s changing religious landscape.

Remembering Adrian Rogers with Dr. Steve Rogers
Romans 8:31–39 "31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? 33 Who will bring charges against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; 34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. 35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Just as it is written, “For Your sake we are being put to death all day long; We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" In this episode of Real Truth for Today, Pastor Jeff Schreve welcomes Steve Rogers, the oldest son of the late Dr. Adrian Rogers, for a special conversation remembering one of Pastor Jeff's greatest heroes in the faith. Steve shares personal stories about his father, including Adrian Rogers' powerful preaching voice, his gift for memorable phrases and illustrations, his commitment to the Word of God, and his journey into ministry. They also discuss Dr. Rogers' influence on the Southern Baptist Convention and how he stood firmly for biblical truth without compromising. The conversation also highlights the worldwide impact of Adrian Rogers' ministry. Steve explains how a pastor-training course they recorded shortly before his father's death eventually reached more than 40,000 pastors across five continents. They discuss practical ministry lessons Dr. Rogers taught, including putting God first, protecting one's marriage and family, being faithful in ministry, and finishing well.

Psalm 145:4 “One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts.” In this episode of Real Truth for Today, Pastor Jeff Schreve is joined by Dr. Bob Pearle, pastor of Birchman Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas, to discuss what it means for Christians and churches to be bold and courageous in their faith.

They also talk about the challenges pastors face, the difficulties of following a beloved longtime pastor, and the importance of having older pastors and mentors who can guide younger ministers through difficult seasons. Pastor Jeff and Dr. Pearle also address the church's responsibility to be salt and light in a fractured culture.

Leaning into Contentment
Description: Anne and Kendra share about their most recent Hannah’s Heart Hangout—a sweet time with women who are now walking through different seasons of life. Some are recently walking through loss, while others have experienced the joy of adoption and are now finally expecting. Together, they talk about what it looks like to hold joy and grief at the same time and trust the Lord through it all. Kendra shares what the Lord has recently been teaching her about contentment and what the word “content” actually means in Scripture. As she studied it more deeply, she realized its meaning wasn’t quite what she expected. Anne shares a personal story of how, after saying for years that she was “content,” the Lord met her one day while doing laundry and gently revealed that her heart wasn’t as content as she thought. It’s an honest and encouraging conversation about grief, joy, contentment, and learning to trust the Lord right where He has you.
