Speaking4Him Podcast #728: Women in The Church

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” 

Genesis 1:26-27

Today on the show, I discuss the Southern Baptist Convention's recent reaffirmation of the biblical principle that God calls women to be silent in the church. I will examine what the Bible truly says, emphasizing that our opinions don't matter.  God's Instruction to us does.

Additionally, I want to explore a question that I believe many overlook regarding this topic: Why did God instruct that women should be silent in the church? Join me as I delve into the significant answer to this important question.

Speaking4Him Podcast #727: September Bears

   “Alright, you want to know, you want to know what the wound is? There are three beautiful kids that are gone and they’ve only found enough to bury one of them, but my son is alive, and I have no idea why. 

Daisy got run over by a car. I can understand that. We didn’t fix the fence. I can feel guilty about that. But I—. This is what hurts so bad.

I don’t know how to feel happy that my son was not in those buildings.” 

Sue, September Bears

On Today's show, I sit down with Bob Karel, director of September Bears, opening at Master Arts Theater on September 11th. Bob shares the heart behind this moving, true‑story production that highlights one teacher's incredible response to the events of 9/11. As it expanded to her church, their compassion, courage, and willingness to serve became a powerful testimony of faith in action during one of America’s darkest moments.

The conversation explores how September Bears depicts believers as the hands and feet of Jesus, bringing comfort and hope when tragedy strikes. Bob reflects on the impact this church made simply by choosing to love well and step forward when others stepped back. This interview will inspire you—and the play will move you.

Speaking4Him Podcast #726: Front of the Class (2008)

  “What’s a school for? To educate, isn’t it? To use knowledge to wipe out ignorance?”

 -Principal Myer

On today's show, I share a heartfelt review of "Front of the Class" (2008), the inspiring Hallmark Hall of Fame film based on the true story of Brad Cohen. Born with Tourette’s syndrome, Brad faces misunderstanding, rejection, and countless obstacles, but he refuses to let any of them define him. The movie follows his journey from a struggling child to a determined adult who believes he was born to teach. 

Jimmy Wolk delivers a powerful performance as Brad, capturing both the pain of his challenges and the joy of his triumphs, while Treat Williams and Patricia Heaton bring depth and warmth as Brad’s supportive parents.

Listen Here as I discuss how this film raises topics that need to be addressed more often. I resonate deeply with this story because I have also struggled to overcome the stigma associated with my disability, cerebral palsy. My hope is that this film will help you and your family gain a greater understanding of what it means to live with a disability and highlight how we are more alike than different.

You can watch this film for free right now on Youtube or Tubi!
