On October 7th, 2023, innocent lives were targeted and destroyed in ways most could never imagine. In this episode, Pastor Allen Jackson and Lt. Col. Keith Isaacson, chief of security for the Eshkol region on Israel’s Gaza border, reveal the untold horrors and the chilling reality of what took place. Shockingly, some of the worst atrocities were not carried out by the Hamas terrorists, but by their own neighbors—Palestinian civilians. Isaacson shares firsthand accounts of the unimaginable violence that erupted within the communities and the greatest loss the Jews have experienced since the Holocaust.

In this episode, Pastor Allen and his father, George Jackson, discuss the moments when God brought healing to their family and intervened in ways they could never have predicted.

Political unrest, moral confusion, and spiritual deception are increasing, leading many to ask if we are approaching the end of the age. In this episode, Pastor Allen Jackson examines the “birth pains” Jesus described and what they reveal about the times we are living in. He explores how spiritual deception, false ideologies, and ungodly leadership are shaping the times we live in—and what that means for the people of God. Through Scripture, this conversation challenges believers to recognize the moment we are in and to stand firm in faith rather than live in fear.—It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

As America faces moral and cultural upheaval, the call for courageous faith has never been more clear. In this episode, Pastor Allen Jackson talks with Lt. Gen. (Ret.) William G. “Jerry” Boykin, a decorated Delta Force veteran and outspoken follower of Christ. Through stories from his military career, historical insight, and biblical teaching, General Boykin inspires the Church to stand firm, put on the full armor of God, and actively engage in the fight for America’s soul. This conversation is both a warning and a rallying cry—urging God’s people to witness boldly, fight faithfully, and refuse to be conformed to the world around them.—It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

In a media landscape increasingly shaped by ideology rather than truth, both faith and free speech are threatened by fear and censorship. In this episode, Pastor Allen Jackson sits down with Alex Marlow, editor-in-chief of Breitbart News; Jason Whitlock, award-winning sports journalist and commentator; Sage Steele, former ESPN anchor; and Eric Metaxas, bestselling author and radio host. Together, they examine how satanic and woke ideologies have reshaped newsrooms, silenced dissenting voices, and targeted figures like Charlie Kirk.

Is Islam truly a religion of peace? What is the real history of Palestine? Are the Jewish people of today the same as those of the Bible? From media narratives to academic institutions, we are witnessing a coordinated effort to rewrite history, suppress biblical truth, and confuse the Church on issues of faith, geopolitics, and identity. In this episode, Pastor Allen cuts through the noise to examine the historical realities surrounding the land of Palestine, the dark truths behind Islamic doctrine, and what Scripture reveals about God's relationship with the Jewish people.—It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

When Christians tolerate immorality, it does not bring peace from conflict—it leads to cultural collapse. In this episode, Pastor Allen Jackson sits down with former police officer and the host of "The Officer Tatum Show," Brandon Tatum, to reflect on the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk and what it reveals about the spiritual battle unfolding in America. Their conversation moves from the weight of that loss to the broader cultural decay seen in moments like the Super Bowl halftime show, where artists like Bad Bunny headline performances that reflect anything but biblical values. Brandon shares his powerful personal testimony and how his eyes were opened to the spiritual forces shaping the headlines. Together, they wrestle with what it means to stand firm in a time of deep moral confusion and why believers must hold the line with courage and conviction.—It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

Modern nutrition has strayed far from the wisdom found in God’s Word. In this eye-opening episode, Pastor Allen is joined by Jordan Rubin, New York Times bestselling author of The Maker’s Diet and a leading voice in biblical health. Together, they explore how returning to God’s original design for food is not just a path to better health, but a spiritual act of stewardship and obedience. From fad diets to food pyramids, we've been fed a steady stream of nutritional advice that often leads to sickness and disease. It's time for the Church to return to the fundamentals of food and embrace a biblically-based diet.—It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

Do you have the courage to step into culture and proclaim the truth in the public square? The moral decay of our nation is no longer hidden. From the breakdown of biblical authority in the Church to the cultural push toward division and confusion, we are witnessing a coordinated effort to silence truth and erase history. Joining Pastor Allen are Pastor John Amanchukwu Sr., Pastor Rob McCoy, Pastor Gary Hamrick, and Dr. George Grant—leaders who confront the consequences of spiritual compromise and the urgent need to prepare God’s people for what’s ahead. This conversation tackles the spiritual cost of passive leadership, the deception of DEI, and the confusion surrounding the Church’s role in politics.—It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

The dehumanization of God's people is no longer subtle. From the violence directed at Charlie Kirk to the alarming surge of antisemitism across the globe, one thing is clear: This isn’t just political tension or cultural unrest—it’s a spiritual agenda. Joining Pastor Allen is Ronny Simon, a respected Israeli historian and guide who offers deep insight into the spiritual and historical context of the Jewish people’s ongoing struggle. Together, they explore the conflict in Israel and the growing threat of terror—both on U.S. soil and abroad.

We often come to faith expecting perks like peace, blessings, and protection. When the blessings slow down, we wonder what we did wrong. We treat our relationship with Jesus like a contract: “I’ll pray, give, obey, so that you’ll give me health, salvation, and success.” But what if friendship with Jesus is less about what we collect and more about what we offer? In this episode, Pastor Allen explores the incredible privilege of being Jesus' friend and how we can invest in a deeper relationship with our Savior.More Information:My Friend Jesus: https://store.allenjackson.com/category/offers/BK250907?source=25WEBI000 —It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

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. Left to raise their two children alone, his wife faced unimaginable grief and uncertainty—yet the Lord was present.

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.
