We took a few weeks off over Christmas and are just now getting going once again. Today’s interview also comes from our November/December FrontLine magazine, which had the topic “Raising Children to be Adults in an Adolescent World.”In this interview, I’m interviewing Emily Haynes, whose article was called “Fostering Resilience in Young Adults.”I really enjoyed having this conversation with Emily and then enjoyed it a second time while editing it. I hope you find it profitable as you think about your interaction with young people in your home and church.Our recording software has an AI component that gives us a summary of our session. I thought I’d read its summary of this conversation to give you a sense of where we are going with it:In this conversation, Emily Haynes discusses the importance of fostering resilience in young adults, emphasizing the need for purpose, community, and mentorship. She shares insights from her experiences as dean of women at Maranatha Baptist University and highlights the challenges faced by today’s youth, particularly in the context of social media and emotional health. The discussion also touches on the role of the Christian community in supporting young people and the significance of discipleship in building resilience and purpose.There you have it. We’ll commence shortly, but first let me remind you that his article is available on our substack right away for paying subscribers. We have previews for everyone else. I hope you will join with us and support the ministry of the FBFI by becoming a paying subscriber.Maybe I should also mention that this interview works out to be Interview 100 in our series. I’m not sure why we put significance behind round numbers like that, but here we are.

“We need more young people in the church!” I hear this cry in lots of smaller churches across the country. Why would God give your church more young people, if the older people are spiritually stagnant and unwilling to sacrifice to build and encourage the next generation? Could it be that the problem in your church is you, not them?Revival always starts with me.For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Philippians 1:19-21Sometimes the hardest people in the church to motivate for Christ, are older believers. There is a revival among young people happening around the world. We are seeing young singles and couples returning to church in record numbers. They are coming to faith in Christ, and their lives are transforming. But for this to continue, we need a “revival among older believers.” Let me explain by using the Apostle Paul as an example.Consider the Apostle Paul when he wrote these words, not as an admonition to us, but as an explanation about how he was thinking about the last few years of his existence on earth. He was facing death but also knew he had some time left. He explains what he was thinking about himself, Christ, heaven, and others and how he intended to transform that thinking into his daily activity. These are his driving principles as he faced the end of his life. …Read the rest of this post here, or just listen to the podcast.

Instead of making New Year’s resolutions, write down a New Year’s prayer list. It is more advantageous, and it keeps our plans and goals for the coming year where they should be—in submission to the will of God. Start life change with prayer. Bathe life-change in prayer. Celebrate life-change with rejoicing in prayer.Let’s consider what a New Year’s prayer list might look like.Pray for yourself.Psalm 25:4-5 says, “Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day.”What do I know is God’s will for me in the coming year? Consistent devotional and prayer time? Increased Spirit empowered self-discipline? Better stewardship of my finances, time, relationships, opportunities? Do I even know. My first prayer request is to ask Him to show me what I should pray for myself in the coming year. It should be my lead request every day.Read the whole post here: Make a Big Bold Prayer List for the Coming Year – Proclaim & Defend or just listen to the podcast.

When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:25-26)This is the time of year for making resolutions. These are goals set for the year in which we seek to improve ourselves and our lives. It is usually about matters of habit and self-discipline.* Exercise more* Eat better* Sleep better* Stop smoking, drinking, etc.* Spend less* Save more* Manage time betterWe want to make better choices, be better people.Most people fall flat with their New Year’s resolutions because what they really want is to change the window dressing in their lives rather than things that are at the core of their being.We want to add good stuff to our lives.The young man that came to Jesus in Matthew 19 wanted to know what he needed to add to his already righteous life to have assurance of the Kingdom of Heaven. …Read the rest of this post here, or just listen to the podcast.

Pain? Sure. Hardship? Yes. Poverty? OK. Hard work? Count me in. Death? That one is very hard, but yes.Public humiliation? Uh, maybe not.Honor, duty.We value these things highly. Civil War commanders sent rows of young men to near certain death with the words “What will your family think of you if you run?!”Speech teachers know that fear of speaking in public rates higher for many than the fear of death. Which leads me to conclude that some people would rather die than speak in public! Of course, the root of that fear is the possibility of embarrassing yourself before a crowd of people. This is one of the reasons that the Christmas story is so noble in the sacrifice of the main characters. …Read the rest of this post here, or just listen to the podcast.

We are talking to authors from our November/December FrontLine magazine, which had the topic “Raising Children to be Adults in an Adolescent World.”Our author this time is Matt Davis, the Chief Executive Officer at Maranatha Baptist University. His article was called, “A Mother’s Faith: The Forge of a Biblical Leader.” He was looking at the passages in the Scriptures that mention Jochebed, mother of Moses, and applying the principles observed to parenting children in our present world.In our conversation, we cover a wide range of topics including the importance of authentic parenting, cultural challenges, and the influence of especially mothers on their children. We talked about the need for godly motives in parenthood, the impact of technology, and the fleeting nature of childhood, while also addressing modern fears sparked by our secular world and its godless worldview.Some of the key points in our discussion were:* Parents are primary actors in their children’s lives but not the main characters.* Jochebed’s counter-cultural influence on Moses highlights the importance of early childhood education.* Godly motives for parenthood include viewing children as blessings.* Authenticity in parenting is crucial for instilling faith in children.* Fear can paralyze parents, preventing them from engaging with the world.* Technology poses challenges but can be managed with accountability.* The fleeting nature of childhood necessitates prioritizing time with children.Our goal in this conversation was to reinforce Biblical ideas you’ve probably already heard about Christian parenting. At times, you will feel overwhelmed by the challenges of parenting, we want you to rely on God to overcome all those challenges.Before we get to the interview with Matt, let me remind you that his article is available on our substack right away for paying subscribers.

Editor’s note: The original audio file for this episode somehow ballooned to 34 minutes, mostly of silence. Our apologies. We have corrected the audio and are replacing the original post with this one.Last week, I was finishing a message on Matthew 19 regarding marriage, divorce, and remarriage. It’s a subject I dislike preaching on because the biblical data on divorce and remarriage seems unclear to me, and many Bible scholars disagree on the topic.To illustrate my point, I wanted to reference an article in the Fundamentalist Journal from the 1980s. It was part of their Point/Counterpoint series, where Charles Ryrie and Jay Adams debated when biblical divorce is allowed. Ryrie took the no-divorce position, while Adams allowed it in cases of immorality.When I searched for the article, an AI-generated summary of the debate popped up:Jay Adams vs. Charles Ryrie on Divorce and PornographyThe debate between Jay Adams and Charles Ryrie on divorce and pornography reflects differing interpretations of biblical texts. Adams argued that viewing pornography is equivalent to committing adultery, which would justify divorce. In contrast, Ryrie maintained that divorce and remarriage are never permissible under biblical law. This debate highlights the complexity of applying biblical teachings to modern issues of morality and ethics.Wait a minute! They debated divorce in cases of immorality—not whether viewing pornography justified divorce. That’s a different question. I’m fairly certain Adams did not take the position stated.What knucklehead drew that conclusion?So, I clicked on the AI reference link—the only link provided—only to discover that the article AI used to draw this conclusion was one I WROTE on Proclaimanddefend.org! …Read the rest of the post here, or just listen to the podcast.

We are talking to authors from our November/December FrontLine magazine, which had the topic “Raising Children to be Adults in an Adolescent World.”Our author this time is my friend David Potter who wrote an article called, “Teach Them Diligently.” He is drawing from Deuteronomy 6 in reminding us of the importance of passing on the faith to our succeeding generations.Both David and I are grandfathers, we’ve seen our children grow up in our homes and come to the Lord. We are now watching our grandchildren grow up and are doing what we can to influence them for the Lord. We hope that you find our conversation and our stories helpful to you in the great task of raising your own children or grandchildren for the Lord.Before we get to the interview with David Potter, let me remind you that his article is available on our substack right away for paying subscribers.

Christians are converting to paganism in the UK in record numbers.This is according to a Times article. They are not going to Islam, Buddhism, or Judaism, but rather to atheism, agnosticism, and Wicca.It’s not true and let me explain why.When I was in high school, I kept bees as a hobby. One hot Arizona summer, I purchased 5 beehives from a friend of my father’s who was getting out of the business. Getting those five hives to their new location was a harrowing experience. When we arrived, the hives were stacked high with supers (boxes) of comb filled with honey. The night included driving thousands of bees back into the hive with smokers, nailing the openings shut, hauling hives weighing hundreds of pounds to a trailer, dropping one on the way, and getting stung many, many times.What I did not know at the time was that two of the five queen bees had died in the process of moving. This happened before the bees had the possibility of nurturing a new queen.For several months, those two beehives appeared to function normally. From the outside, the dead hives and the living hives looked exactly the same. Bees flew in and out carrying honey and pollen. They had the appearance of life, but they had actually been dead for a long time.When you read articles like this who say people are leaving Christianity, they are not really leaving at all. What is happening is that fake Christians are leaving long dead churches that have the appearance of life. …Read the rest of the article here, or just listen to the podcast.

We are getting back into our podcasting schedule here, just a few weeks before Christmas, and then we will take another break.Today we begin talking to some of our authors from the November/December issue of FrontLine on the theme “Raising Children to be Adults in an Adolescent World.”Our first author is Steve Love, who currently teaches at Maranatha Baptist University. I’ve only met Steve through these P&D podcasts, but I always come away from a conversation with him stimulated to greater service with some new insights into God’s Word. I hope you find the same as we talk in today’s podcast.Steve’s article is called “Noah: A Parent Who Found Grace,” Noah isn’t the usual example we turn to in Scripture for this topic, so I found Steve’s article quite interesting as I read and then as we discussed it.At the bottom, we are acknowledging that none of us are adequate for any task God gives us, including parenting. We need grace, and the Bible tells us Noah is one who received grace from God. We gain some confidence as we consider the things we know about his life.Before we get to the interview with Steve, let me remind you that his article is available on our substack right away for paying subscribers. We have previews for everyone else. I hope you will join with us and support the ministry of the FBFI by becoming a paying subscriber.Programming note: We plan to issue the interview podcasts over the next three weekends.

Our culture has a despotic ruler that is unwilling to submit to any of the firm laws of faith or reason. He has been allowed free run by virtually everyone, and not only has not been tamed, but has been deemed untamable by almost everyone. We have submitted to his whims without critique or question, and it is destroying us.The untamable ruler is our feelings or more technically, our emotions.In a culture where the inconsistent philosophy of post-modernism rules, feelings become the only dependable sort of reality. Post-modernism teaches that there is no such thing as truth, truth is relative, or if there is such thing as truth, it is unknowable with certainty. In that context, our feelings rule. After all, I might not be able to trust what I think, but I do know how I feel in the moment. Therefore, we let our feelings rule our reality, and we make that surrender to our own destruction. …Read the rest of this post here, or just listen to the podcast Get full access to the Proclaim & Defend Podcast at proclaimdefend.substack.com/subscribe

The question of whether Christians should celebrate Christmas has been debated for centuries. Some believers embrace the holiday as a time to honor the birth of Christ, while others reject it due to its historical associations with paganism and Roman Catholic traditions. Scripture provides guidance on matters of conscience:One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; [a]and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. 7 For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For to this end Christ died [b]and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. (Romans 14:5-10)Arguments Against Celebrating Christmas* Pagans celebrate the winter solstice around this time of year. December 25 is not Jesus’ birthday.* Christmas is a Roman Catholic Holiday and Catholicism is evil.* The term Christmas is a Roman Catholic term.* Christmas celebrations are the result of Roman Catholic syncretism.* Mother/Child worship is at the heart of the Satanic counterfeit religion. …Read the rest of the article here, or just listen to the podcast.

Today we begin interviews with authors for the November/December issue of FrontLine, though today’s guest, Mark Love, was writing for a section of the magazine that is not part of the theme.I like to have authors of our regular feature pieces come on from time to time to promote those aspects of the magazine.Every issue, in the middle of the magazine, we publish a section we call the Pastor’s Insert. There is an idea here that it is for the benefit of pastors, but really, our own church people have sometimes told me it’s the first place they turn when they get their copy of the magazine.Mark Love wrote an article for the “Windows” feature called “Promises God Gives Us to Face Our Trials.” Mark will explain what the Windows feature is all about, but as you will note from the title, Mark is dealing with the subject of trials and suffering.None of us are going to make it through life without suffering one way or another. You might be going through a trial right now, and if not, you know that one of these days you will be. As believers, we need to remind ourselves of the promises of God when we are in trials. Mark’s article does just that. I hope our conversation is a blessing to you.Before we get to the interview with Mark, let me remind you that his article is available on our substack right away for paying subscribers. We have previews for everyone else. I hope you will join with us and support the ministry of the FBFI by becoming a paying subscriber.One other thing I’d like to say, it was a blessing to talk to Mark once again. We’ve had various family connections through the years, though we’ve been separated most of the time by thousands of miles. You will hear us mention some of those connections in the conversation. It really was a blessing to me, and a ministry to my heart to talk with Mark again and talk about the many promises of God we have in our trials.The Contents & Editorial for the November/December FrontLine:Raising Children to be Adults in an Adolescent World [FrontLine Nov/Dec 2025] – Proclaim & DefendThe Article:Promises God Gives Us to Face Our Trials Get full access to the Proclaim & Defend Podcast at proclaimdefend.substack.com/subscribe

And yes, there continue to remain HUGE problems with Roman Catholic theology.Just recently I heard of a conservative Baptist pastor leaving his church and turning to Catholicism. This type of move is not isolated. Many in the conservative political world are doing so with the rise of prominent cultural figures like Candace Owens, Michael Knowles, and Erika Kirk, who remain Catholic or deeply connected to the Catholic Church. While we might admire public figures for standing up for biblical morality, what a person believes about biblical salvation matters deeply as well.But is the Catholic Church changing?It’s all over the religious news, but the United Conference of Catholic Bishops said it best.“While praising devotion to Mary, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith firmly rejected moves to formally proclaim Mary as “co-redemptrix” or “co-mediatrix.”This is a change, or at least a clarification of a debate within Catholicism and I believe it is intended to satisfy the angst of those with an evangelical background who have converted to Catholicism. …Read the rest of the article here, or just listen to the podcast.

Our November/December issue of FrontLine just came out. I’ve been busy interviewing many of our authors. We plan to start airing those interviews next week.Today I am going back to the July/August issue to a conversation with Jaime Flack, the author of our Heart to Heart column. Jaime will describe what she does in her ministry as we begin the conversation. You will see that she has a full schedule and I thank her for taking time to talk to us.Her article was called “You Don’t Need to Know Yourself,” which comes out of her own experience. She is a young mom and very busy in the work of her church. There is a lot of pressure in our culture for young mom’s especially to be able to “be the best” and to measure up to social expectations. Jaimie talks about some of the things that contribute to this sense in our online world and how she came to realize that more than trying to fully understand herself and be a “super-mom” she needed most of all to know the Lord and to please him.She will do a better job of saying all that than I am, so I will just say that I very much enjoy getting to meet so many of our FrontLine authors in the podcasts, and Jaimie was no exception. I think you will enjoy hearing from her.Before we get to the interview with Jaimie, let me remind you that her article is available on our substack right away for paying subscribers.

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me. (Matthew 18:1-5)As Jesus prepares in Capernaum for His final trip to Jerusalem, the disciples perceive that important things are about to happen. Like most of us do, they conveniently ignored the times that Jesus predicted He would suffer and die (Matthew 16:21, 17:9, 17:12, 17:22), in order to focus on the amazing things that they thought were about to happen.The transfiguration, complete with appearances of Moses and Elijah got them thinking about how the Kingdom hierarchy would flesh out. These disciples were not among the ruling class of Israel but were hoping that their proximity to the Messiah would net them special positions in the Kingdom.So, they asked the question. “Who will be the greatest in the Kingdom?”It was a general question. We know the disciples had argued among themselves about who, among themselves, would be the greatest. But maybe here they were wondering about such lights as Moses and Elijah.Jesus responded harshly because a harsh response was necessary. It was the wrong question.Read the rest of the post here, or just listen to the podcast. Get full access to the Proclaim & Defend Podcast at proclaimdefend.substack.com/subscribe

Today we have a unique guest, the daughter of our guest last week. If you listened to the episode with Preston Mayes, you might remember that he mentioned his daughter publishing an article in the same edition of FrontLine as his article. Well, that intrigued me as I hadn’t made the connection, so I had to check out her article and make sure we talked to her as well.Rachel Mayes Allen wrote an article for our “Heart to Heart” feature in the September/October edition of FrontLine. Her topic was Bible memorization. She talked especially about an approach she has had over recent years. She describes her plan in the article and I had her briefly describe it on the podcast also.Along the way, we talked about the value of memorization in general and about some of the challenges we face in making Bible memory a part of our spiritual discipline. I described a project I’m working on with a man in our church which has been a blessing to both of us.I hope you find this session encouraging. You need more Bible in your life than you have time to receive it, but you can probably do a little bit more than you have been doing to fill your mind with God’s Word. It will stand you in good stead as you face the challenges of the world the flesh and the devil.Before we get to the interview with Rachel, let me remind you that her article is available on our substack right away for paying subscribers.

There is a lot of talk about revival lately.Even secular media types referred to the events surrounding Charlie Kirk’s memorial service as a “Christian revival.” However, the discussion is not new, it is just amplified in the wake of Kirk’s assassination. Young people are returning to religion in record numbers. Videos of mass baptisms abound. This phenomenon seems to be a reaction to the overbearing nature of woke thinking on people who want to live reasonable lives. Young people have especially been indoctrinated with it.Charlie Kirk was especially adept at opposing the ravages of woke thinking on our culture, and he was especially good and explaining it on the basis of his Christian world view. People are realizing that a Christian world view is reasonable and provides the only cognitively consistent response to the insanity our country has endured—especially over the last 17 years.However, a return to religion in a culture is not necessarily revival. It could be just a cultural rebalancing, even if many of those are turning to true faith in Jesus Christ. In the worst case, a “Christian revival” can be an emotional social contagion in the same way that transgenderism has been over the last decade—albeit a good and much less destructive one.It all depends on how we want to define the word revival.…Read the rest of the article here, or just listen to the podcast.

We are talking about the September/October edition of FrontLine with some of our authors. The subject of this edition was “Using Your Words: Glorifying God with Language.” The issue hit on various aspects of things we say, good and bad, and what the Christian perspective should be.Today’s discussion is with Preston Mayes, who teaches at Central Baptist Seminary in Minneapolis. His subject was gossip. We spend most of our time wrestling with a definition of gossip and why we as humans like gossip so much. I think I took us on a little rabbit trail a bit as I likened the interest in gossip with our preoccupation with the sensational and negative in news stories. I think there is some relationship, but perhaps more than we could solve in a short conversation.Another aspect of gossip (or potential gossip) is what to do with negative personal information about someone that comes our way. Sometimes it does need to be passed on, but passed on to someone who is responsible to bring a solution to the situation. It isn’t any good to chatter about it with our friends, but it might be something we need to share with an appropriate authority.All of this can be challenging to sort out, but we do have some conversation along that line as well.One last thing, at the end of the interview, you will hear that Preston was pleased to have his daughter publish an article in the same edition of the magazine. That was kind of a neat little feature and Lord willing we will publish an interview with her next week.Before we get to the interview with Preston, let me remind you that his article is available on our substack right away for paying subscribers.

Peter Thiel and New York Times editor, Ross Douthat, differ about the nature of the Antichrist.Yep. It’s true. People in the business and media mainstream are now talking about the Antichrist—and they are talking about it seriously, not just in some derogatory manner.Peter Thiel is giving lectures about the rise of the Anti-Christ in this century, and it is related to AI, luddites, and global domination—and you might be surprised about what he is saying.Read the rest of this post here, or just listen to the podcast.
