LoveTalk Network

Cathy, Kerri, and Marlene visit with special guest Eden Gordon Hill, author and media specialist. In this episode of LoveTalk Network, the discussion centers around the legacy left by our country's Founding Fathers and the dining room table. Eden's recent commentary in "The Washington Stand" stated that "General George Washington's leadership helped shape a nation founded on sacrifice, conviction, and trust in God." Eden points out that our nation's link with Washington's legacy and faith was once strong, because we gathered as family and friends around the dining room table. There, legacy and Godly values were discussed and reinforced. Today, technology has created a culture of isolation which is "crumbling" connections and spiritual emphasis in homes across America. Eden challenges listeners to put down the technology and return to the dining room table.

The Ladies of LoveTalk Network look at three weighty questions aimed at exposing where individual hearts lie. The questions have the power to expose hidden idols, realign priorities, and draw a person closer to God. Join Cathy, Kerri, and Marlene as they seek God and look at the significance and challenges behind these three simple questions. Who or what do you trust most when life gets hard? Who or what shapes your decisions most? And, what are you willing to sacrifice?

Today we are talking about something heavy but important - What legacy Am I building Right Now? Not just what will people say about me when I am gone, but what am I actually leaving int he hearts of my family, my friends and my community. We dive into the lessons from three different funerals that we attended in the last month to discover and help us understand how we can leave a lasting legacy.

As Christians grapple with rising antisemitism, confusion over Israel, and pubic rebukes of evangelical theology the term Christian Zionism has become mainstream yet many do not know what it means. We discuss this with Dr Susan Michael who is president of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem to better understand the current state of Christian and Jewish relations and what can only be described as a wave of confusion and theological drift within the global Church.

Special guest, Pastor Chad Roberts, shares his journey of faith from his young teenage years preaching in over 200 churches and beginning his own church at age 20 to becoming blind at age 38 from an accident on a mission trip in Central America. His emotional transparency in sharing the raw truth of both his struggle and the miraculous grace of God will inspire and grow listeners in their understanding of suffering and the beauty God has brought into the life of this married father of four as he has kept his eyes on the God who loves and cares for each of us personally. His book "Blind Faith" is out now.

Cupcake entrepreneur Gigi Butler joins Cathy, Kerri, and Marlene for an uplifting conversation about her life as the "Queen of Sweet Success."

Plus, she has used her resilience, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit to engage in many other ventures, including a television show.

While as the National Religious Broadcasters International Christian Media Convention in Nashville, Cathy, Kerri, and Marlene enjoyed a discussion with special guest, Nick Vujicic. Nick was born in Australia, but now lives in California. He is an author, evangelist and motivational speaker whose goal is to saturate the world with the Gospel and unite the body of Christ. Since 2005, over one million people have made a decision for Christ through his ministry. Born without limbs, Nick prayed for God to give him arms and legs. Instead, Nick concluded that, if you cannot receive a miracle, then you must be a miracle for someone else.

Brad Brandon, the CEO and Founder of Across Nigeria, returns to LoveTalk Network. Brad was with LoveTalk Network in September of 2025 to highlight the alarming rise of Christian persecution across the globe. Statistics from Open Doors reveal that 380 million Christians faced high levels of persecution last year, up 15 million from the year before, with church attacks rising 800 percent since 2018. Brad is a long-time pastor and teacher. During the National Religious Broadcasters 2026 International Christian Media Convention last month, Brad visited with Cathy, Kerri, and Marlene to share his experience leading an international mission in the world's most dangerous region for Christians and to challenge American Christians to become informed, prayerful, and willing to take a stand for their brothers and sisters in faith worldwide. Brad also shared what is happening across the world with Sharia Law and radical Islamic communities.

Dr. George Barna joins the Ladies of LoveTalk Network -- Cathy, Kerri, and Marlene -- for an engaging discussion about his new book, "Raising Spiritual Champions." The book emphasizes that nurturing a child’s spiritual life is more critical than career success because a biblical worldview provides the only foundation for objective truth and eternal hope. Dr. Barna’s book "Raising Spiritual Champions" outlines strategies for parents to instill "Seven Cornerstones" of faith. Dr. Barna argues that parents must reclaim their God-given role to prevent the next generation from succumbing to a culture where feelings trump facts and purpose is lost.

David Rives joins the Ladies of LoveTalk Network and provides a compelling bridge between faith and science. By viewing humanity as a "work of His hands" rather than biological accidents, he directly counters the modern "pandemic" of worthlessness with a sense of divine dignity and purpose. His focus on cultural apologetics and the historical reliability of the Dead Sea Scrolls reinforces the idea that the Bible is both scientifically and historically anchored, urging us to trust the observable data of the natural world. Ultimately, his journey from age seven, when David met the Lord, proves that a sense of destiny isn't bound by age, but by a relationship with the God who "declares His glory" through every star and strand of DNA.

Cathy, Kerri, and Marlene welcome Dr. Jim Daly, the President of Focus on the Family, to LoveTalk Network. Dr. Daly shared much about his background and work at the family-oriented nonprofit over the last 37 years.

Today, the Ladies of LoveTalk Network discuss the ongoing and important role grandparents have in raising a strong multi-generational family, despite a rapidly shifting culture where the very definition of family is challenged, gender is questioned, and kids grow up surrounded by confusion, anxiety, and fear. Godly grandparents can be a powerful source of hope and stability. According to special guest Lori Wildenberg, grandparents play a crucial role in providing continuity, grounding, and strength amid changing values. Lori shares practical ways to build deep, lasting connections with grandchildren, as well as how moms and dads can intentionally partner with grandparents to shape and safeguard future generations.

In this final week of our series—Awake, Alert, and Awestruck—the Ladies of LoveTalk Network shift from vigilance against the enemy’s subtle deceptions to lifting our eyes in wonder at the greatness of God. We first discussed the importance of waking up from spiritual slumber to begin a new life in God. Last week, we explored what it means to stay alert, recognizing lies that twist truth and divide. We also learned from Eve’s doubt, Jesus’ steadfast “It is written,” and David’s humble repentance. Now, we turn to being Awestruck, overwhelmed by God’s beauty, power, and grace—where His glory eclipses every scheme of the enemy and worship rises in its place. As Psalm 33:8 declares, “Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him!”

Today's message on LoveTalk Network reminds us that after waking up to our need for Jesus, we must stay "Alert" to the enemy’s schemes. Satan is actively at work using deception to make evil look good and truth seem confusing. Nevertheless, Jesus shows us how to resist through submission to God and reliance on Scripture. Although strong believers like Peter and David stumbled when alertness faded, their stories teach us that spiritual warfare is real, personal responsibility matters, and restoration is always possible through repentance. Staying alert requires daily surrender, reliance on God’s Word, and obedience. Join Kerri, Cathy, and Marlene for this timely message, the second in a three-part series entitled Awake, Alert, and Awestruck.

This episode of LoveTalk Network is the first in a three-part series entitled "Awake, Alert, and Awestruck. Today, Kerri, Cathy, and Marlene discuss the need for Christians to AWAKE. Awake is a call to recognize how busyness, distraction, and the pursuit of temporary satisfaction can lull us into spiritual sleep, leaving us restless and empty without Jesus. Scripture urges us to wake up now, not later, because true life begins when we acknowledge our need for Him. God awakens His people in different ways—through crisis like the Prodigal Son, through dramatic intervention like Saul on the road to Damascus, or through gentle, personal conversation like Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman. Whether sudden or gradual, awakening always involves recognizing our brokenness, surrendering to Christ, and receiving the forgiveness, purpose, and new life that only He can provide.

The March 3 Texas Primary Election will determine party candidates for the November General Election, with early voting from February 17–27. LoveTalk Network emphasizes the importance of electing leaders who uphold Biblical values, defend families, and protect fundamental freedoms. As Christians, we must act as ambassadors for Christ by engaging in civic life and supporting candidates who defend life, oppose harmful ideologies in schools, and honor the U.S. Constitution -- while also recognizing that no candidate will be perfect. The program features Jeremy Story, a returning guest known for speaking against misconduct and constitutional violations within a local school board. Jeremy is now a candidate for Texas’s 10th Congressional District. This program implores believers to unite their voices, vote according to Biblical principles, and choose leaders of wisdom and integrity, as reflected in Deuteronomy 1:13 and Proverbs 29:2.

Co-hosts Cathy, Kerri, and Marlene interview Troy Miller, the CEO and President of National Religious Broadcasters (NRB). The annual NRB Convention will convene in Nashville later this month. Discussion topics included Troy's personal faith journey, NRB’s partnership with the White House to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary during the convention, the convention's highlights, and its impact upon Christian communicators. The Annual NRB International Christian Media Convention—open to all and taking place February 17–20 at the Opryland Resort in Nashville, TN—is a powerful opportunity to be equipped, encouraged, and inspired.

Today, the Ladies of LoveTalk Network interview Isik Alba, who shares her journey from a traumatic childhood in a devout Muslim family in Turkey—marked by abuse, indoctrination, and violence—to her dramatic transformation through Jesus Christ after fleeing to the United States. The interview explores how Islam’s teachings shaped Isik's early worldview, how Christ healed her deep trauma and restored her identity, and how her faith now fuels a global ministry reaching millions in Muslim nations. Isik makes a bold warning to Western governments about the dangers of radical Islam and beseeches Christians to share their faith boldly in workplaces and communities. Isik is the author of a new devotional "Heavenly Whispers."

This July 4, 2026, we celebrate 250 years of the United States—a nation founded and sustained through prayer and faith as “one nation under God.” For centuries, prayer has guided us through trials and shaped our history. In fact, the future of our nation depends on each of us seeking God for our lives, our families, our communities, and our country. Join the Ladies of LoveTalk Network and guests, Doug James and Richard Battle, as they discuss the founding of our nation and this year's upcoming special events -- the National Day of Prayer and the Texas Governor's Prayer Breakfast.

Today's program with Co-hosts Kerri Brinkoeter, Cathy Endebrock, and Marlene McMichael focuses on the importance of biblical literacy—what it is, why it matters, and practical resources to help us grow in it. Bible study is more than just reading words on a page. It is about understanding what the author intended to convey with his written words and how those words can equip hearts to know, trust, and obey God. Joining the program is special guest Angela Tiland from Worldview Academy.

Today's message on LoveTalk Network emphasizes the necessity and trustworthiness of Scripture by highlighting Job’s declaration that the words of God’s mouth were more precious than food and Billy Graham’s insistence that spiritual growth is impossible without the Bible. The program also looks at the Apostle Paul’s teaching in 2 Timothy that Scripture is God-breathed and equips believers for every good work. Join Marlene McMichael, Cathy Endebrock, and Kerri Endebrock for this life-changing program.

As we move into 2026, Co-hosts Cathy Endebrock and Marlene McMichael reflect upon the year 2025, which was marked by both profound loss and powerful movement -- both positive and negative. The impact upon Christians is a heighten awareness of the reality of spiritual warfare and the necessity for Christians not only to pray but also to live out righteous, God-directed lives. Christians must understand that God does not promise a perfect life. Instead, He promises a perfected faith. True victory, peace, and strength come through knowing, studying, and living God’s Word, which equips us to stand against evil, walk in God’s direction, and freely give to others what we have received through Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.

LoveTalk Network's fourth and final installment of the 2025 Christmas series brings together Mary’s surrender, Joseph’s courageous obedience, the shepherds’ witness, and the Magi’s devoted search to find the Baby Jesus and honor Him with gifts. God spoke through angels and dreams, but always affirmed His will through prophecy, making it clear that Jesus’ birth was part of a divine, ancient plan. From humble shepherds to foreign Wise Men, God ensured that people of every status, background, and nation were invited to seek and worship the newborn King. The Magi’s journey, gifts, and obedience—along with God’s provision for Joseph, Mary, and Jesus through those gifts—demonstrate that while God’s instructions may be difficult or frightening, He always provides a way.

The Christmas story highlights how God works through humble, ordinary people, and the shepherds embody this truth as unsung heroes of the nativity: though marginalized and overlooked, they were the first to receive the angelic announcement of Jesus’ birth, showing that God’s revelation is accessible to the lowly rather than reserved for the powerful or learned. Their response models the journey of faith—moving from fear to action as they hurried to Bethlehem. Join co-hosts, Kerri Brinkoeter, Cathy Endebrock, and Marlene McMichael as they discuss the Shepherd's story in the third installment in the 2025 Christmas series.

Cathy Endebrock, Kerri Brinkoeter, and Marlene McMichael continue with episode 2 of a four-part series highlighting the birth of Jesus through the eyes of those who were there. The Christmas story is a powerful record of ordinary people responding to God in extraordinary ways—Mary surrendered, Joseph obeyed, the shepherds wondered, and the Magi sought. Each response shows us how faith can be lived out even in the midst of fear, questions, or uncertainty. Joseph's story in Matthew 1:18-25 highlights seven times Joseph obeyed God with a heart of submission, trust and perseverance. Joseph's faith-filled obedience provides us with practical ways to step into whatever God has before us this Christmas season.

The Ladies of LoveTalk Network -- Cathy, Kerri, and Marlene -- begin a four-part series in celebration of the Christmas season. In this first episode, the Ladies explain that Christmas without faith is reduced to only presents, schedules, and draining expectations. However, with faith, the season becomes a true celebration of God’s love and grace, as seen in Mary’s surrender, Joseph’s obedience, the shepherds’ wonder, and the wise men’s search for the infant king. Learn how we are called to know God’s Word, obey it His way in both small and big things, act without delay, persevere in obedience, and trust God’s faithfulness. Mary’s story in Luke 1:26–38 highlights the essence of surrendering to God regardless of the cost or uncertainty. Mary trusted God’s promise and declared, “I am the Lord’s servant. May your word to me be fulfilled.”

Co-hosts Kerri Brinkoeter, Cathy Endebrock, and Marlene McMichael discuss the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. In this program, the co-hosts explore the theme of cultivating a heart of thanksgiving by recognizing God’s provision and grace in every season of life, anchored in 1 Thessalonians 5:18: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” In Season 1, gratitude is reframed as an inner posture rather than a reaction to circumstances, illustrated by “greasy pizza hug” moments where everyday chaos becomes divine delay. Season 2 highlights the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17, showing that gratitude is the difference-maker—nine received healing, but only the Samaritan who returned received relationship, reminding us that thanksgiving rewires the heart. Season 3 addresses silence, teaching that God’s quiet seasons are not absence but invitations to trust Him, rejoicing even before the harvest. Season 4 confronts storms of grief and despair, emphasizing that thanksgiving is not denial of pain but defiance against despair, anchoring us to God’s sovereignty. Together, these lessons remind us that gratitude is transformative—it shifts focus from circumstances to Christ, deepens relationship with Him, and strengthens resilience in both joy and trial.

Co-hosts Marlene McMichael, Cathy Endebrock, and Kerri Brinkoeter visit with Virginia Prodan, as she shares her extraordinary story of faith and courage as a practicing attorney focused on religious freedom cases in a country whose dictator called himself "God." Virginia survived an assassination attempt, torture, and brutal persecution in communist Romania. Still, she continued to defend Christians in Romanian courts. Virginia learned to follow God's lead and love those who persecuted her. Largely due to her efforts, Virginia was able to expose the communist regime’s abuse of Christians to the rest of the world, contributing to its ultimate downfall.

Co-hosts Cathy Endebrock, Kerri Brinkoeter, and Marlene McMichael review programs from the past nine months and reflect upon their messages and impact. The world often tries to convince us that whatever makes us happy is good -- whatever seems good, feels good, starts good, ends good, or sounds good -- but this skewed view. What we truly desire is a life overflowing with God’s "goodness," so that our actions and words will impact the lives of others. The Ladies of LoveTalk Network reflect on the programs and guests who were most meaningful to each of them.

Co-hosts Cathy Endebrock and Marlene McMichael visit with Shelby Ebner, a recent college graduate who made it her mission to get alone with God and learn to hear His voice. Following Matthew 6:5-6, Shelby spent much of her free time quietly seeking God. Shelby also made a commitment to do whatever God asked her to do, regardless of how impossible it seemed.

Join in and hear this remarkable, faith-building testament to God and the power of faithfulness to Him.

What do we do though if we have a spouse who doesn’t love Jesus? Can we still have a healthy, happy and fulfilled marriage? How do we navigate disagreements and differences when we can’t pray together or have God’s Word to guide and direct us?
