After multiple deployments as a Navy SEAL, Chris Kyle (also known as the American Sniper), returned to the United States. He survived some of the most dangerous combat zones but was tragically murdered while trying to help a fellow veteran.

In this episode, Chris Kyle's widow, Taya Kyle, joins Pastor Allen to share a powerful testament to hope, resilience, and the faithfulness of God, even in the darkest valley.

Why does God allow suffering? Is it possible that the pain in your body or the anxiety in your mind is rooted in something spiritual? In this episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Henry Cloud, best-selling author of the Boundaries books, joins Pastor Allen Jackson to wrestle with the hard truth that not every prayer is answered the way we hope—and not every struggle has a clear cause or a simple solution. Together, they challenge the common tendency to compartmentalize our lives into spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental categories. Whether we struggle with anxiety, chronic illness, relational wounds, or deep grief, the lines between the spiritual and physical are far more intertwined than we often realize. This conversation invites us to consider a more integrated, biblical perspective on health and a deeper trust in God’s purpose for our lives.More Information:Why I Believe: A Psychologist's Thoughts on Suffering, Miracles, Science, and Faith: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/dr-henry-cloud/why-i-believe/9781546003410/?lens=worthy Boundaries: https://www.drcloud.com/books/boundaries Dr. Henry Cloud's Website: https://www.drcloud.com/about —It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

Jesus warned that before His return, there would be wars and rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes, and widespread deception. He called these events "the beginning of birth pains." Pastor Allen asks the piercing question: Are we living in those very days now? In this episode, he opens with a look at a global shift that few in mainstream media will even acknowledge: peace breaking out in regions long plagued by hatred and violence. He highlights unlikely reconciliation efforts between bitter rivals such as Azerbaijan and Armenia, India and Pakistan, Egypt and Ethiopia, and more. With the world watching as Trump and Putin convene in Alaska, Pastor Allen reminds us that the real battle is not left versus right but truth versus deception. The question on the table is: What can we do?—It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture. It may feel like an impossible assignment, but there’s much we can do.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your life could have an eternal impact, this conversation will open your eyes to what ministry is truly about and how you can discover your God-given purpose. In this episode, Pastor Allen continues his conversation with his father, George Jackson, who shares powerful and personal stories from years of ministry alongside his wife, Betty. What began as quiet obedience to God’s call led them to 15 nations, where they witnessed firsthand the miraculous ways God’s truth breaks through language barriers and unexpected challenges. Their story shows that ministry can happen anywhere—through relationships, prayer, and simply showing up when God says, “Go.”More Information:The Eternal Breath of Life: https://store.allenjackson.com/category/offers?source=25WEBH000An Extraordinary Life: https://store.allenjackson.com/purchase/bk130228—It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

Is anti-Zionism simply antisemitism in disguise? In this episode, Pastor Allen and Israeli Pastor Samuel Smadja explore how anti-Zionism (often viewed as political or cultural) is deeply spiritual, and it mirrors something seen throughout history: a supernatural hatred for the Jewish people. The language may have changed, but the spirit behind it has not. The Jewish people are living evidence that God is who He says He is, and His Word is true. Scattered, persecuted, and regathered—Israel's survival is more than historical. It’s prophetic. The same spirit that hates the Jews also hates the Church, and we need to learn to recognize that spirit so we're prepared for what's ahead.—"Simple Man" by Charlie Daniels - UMPG License #262673It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

Description: What happens when a Hollywood icon walks away from fame to follow Jesus? What does it take to confront the lies our culture feeds women about empowerment, abortion, and identity? Jennifer O'Neill was America’s sweetheart—an international supermodel, CoverGirl icon, and Hollywood starlet with the world at her feet. But behind Jennifer O’Neill’s dazzling smile and red-carpet glamour, she was struggling. Fame gave her everything—except peace. In this episode, Jennifer O’Neill confronts the cultural deception that tells women abortion is liberation and reveals the freedom only faith can bring. She unpacks how the enemy twists pain into shame, and how God can rewrite it into purpose. More Info:Surviving Myself: https://www.jenniferoneill.com/surviving-myself-book.html From Fallen to Forgiven: https://www.jenniferoneill.com/Fallen-to-Forgiven_book.html You're Note Alone: Healing Through God's Grace After Abortion: https://www.jenniferoneill.com/Youre-not-alone_book.html  Hope & Healing at Hillenglade: https://hillenglade.org/ Glitter Girls Gatherings: https://www.hillenglade.org/glitter-girls-gatherings —"Simple Man" by Charlie Daniels - UMPG License #262673It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

In this episode, Pastor Allen confronts the silence surrounding one of the most chilling scandals of our time. The Epstein case wasn’t just about one man—it was a doorway into a network of wealth, power, and corruption that reaches into the highest levels of government, media, and global influence. He explores unsettling questions such as: Is there a connection between Epstein's client list and the State of Israel? What is Israel’s true significance—not just politically, but biblically, prophetically, and culturally? Why does this one nation remain at the center of so many global conflicts, conspiracies, and spiritual battles? Someone is working hard to keep the truth buried, but God's Word says, “There is nothing secret that will not be known and come to light” (Luke 8:17).__ "Simple Man" by Charlie Daniels - UMPG License #262673It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

Have you ever felt forsaken or like God was silent in your struggle? In this episode, Pastor Allen Jackson is joined by Christian music artist Rebecca St. James and her husband, Cubbie Fink, former bassist of Foster the People. Together, they open up about the role of faith in seasons of waiting, pain, and uncertainty.

Suppressing religious freedom, redefining the family unit, and indoctrinating the next generation—we see these destructive practices happening all around us.

How can a single person’s faith leave a lasting impact across generations? In this episode, Pastor Allen's father, Dr. George Jackson, discusses how his life wasn’t defined by fame or titles, but by a deep commitment to caring for people—both in his daily work as a veterinarian and through the quiet power of prayer. He and his wife, Betty, started a small Bible study in the 1970s that grew into World Outreach Church and Allen Jackson Ministries, touching countless lives along the way. Whether you’re searching for encouragement in your journey or wondering how your faith can truly impact the future, Dr. George's story will inspire you to believe that every prayer—and every small decision—carries an impact that reaches far beyond today.More Information:An Extraordinary Life: https://store.allenjackson.com/purchase/bk130228__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

After years of wrestling with identity, purpose, and personal trials, it became clear that God was writing a narrative for George Jackson (Pastor Allen's father) far beyond human understanding. While he was pursuing a career as a veterinarian, God’s voice grew louder, directing their family toward the church, people, and service. Time and time again, it was God who made a way—whether through miraculous healing, financial breakthrough, or the strength to endure personal loss and disappointment. This podcast contains not just a story—but an example of God's faithfulness and His power to transform an ordinary life into something extraordinary.More Information:An Extraordinary Life: https://store.allenjackson.com/purchase/bk130228__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

What if the greatest battle of your life was one you couldn’t see? Pastor Allen Jackson recently sat down with Charlie Kirk at Dream City Church during Freedom Night in America to pull back the curtain on a realm most people ignore—but no one can evade. They explore the truths that inspired his new book, "Angels, Demons & You," and answer the hard questions: Are fallen angels the same as demons? How can you tell if you’re under spiritual attack? What role do angels play in your life today? This isn’t a message of fear—it’s a call to awaken.

We've been repeatedly told to "follow the science," but in this episode, journalist David Zweig reveals a system fueled by fear, control, and manipulation. In the early days of COVID-19, confusion reigned. While adults debated science, mandates, and politics, children were pushed into isolation. They said closing schools would save lives, stop the spread, and protect our children. But that wasn’t true. This isn’t just an episode about a virus. It’s about the battle for truth and how God's people can protect themselves—and the children—against manipulation and deception. More Information:An Abundance of Caution: American Schools, the Virus, and a Story of Bad Decisions: https://a.co/d/2J4c9HP __ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

To step into the future God has prepared, sometimes you have to let go of the past. Gigi Butler’s journey is proof of that. Before she was the founder of the wildly successful Gigi’s Cupcakes, Butler came to Nashville with dreams of a successful music career and ended up cleaning houses. What looked like failure was actually preparation. Failure isn’t final—it’s formation.

In a world filled with religious noise and spiritual confusion, it’s time to understand what we believe—and why it matters. In this episode, Pastor Allen takes a biblical look at some of the most avoided and misunderstood topics in the Church today. Did the Pope go to Heaven? Why is there so much division in the Body of Christ? What sets Judaism and Mormonism apart from biblical Christianity? He’ll unpack the difference between denominations and religions, and the critical contrast between doctrine and behavior. This isn’t about condemnation—it’s about bringing clarity where there’s been silence and compromise.

In this time of profound deception, many within the Church have chosen silence or passive observation—waiting for Jesus' return instead of engaging in the spiritual battle around us. "It's time for us to take our biblical responsibility seriously again and become salt and light in the local communities in which we live," Dr. George Grant told Pastor Allen in this podcast. A pastor and an author of over six dozen books, Dr. Grant offers insight on how our culture descended to this point.
