Nancy Pearcey grew up in a very physically abusive home, which set the stage for what was to come. As a strong and determined young woman with a burning intellect, she wanted answers. She spent many years exploring feminism, biological determinism, Darwinian evolution, and many other areas of secular and leftist ideology and science, eventually comfortably describing herself as an atheist. But Jesus had other plans for her. For many years now, Nancy is a distinguished professor at Houston Christian University, a fierce apologist, and one of the most intellectual and influential voices in the modern Christian world. Nancy Pearcey's latest book is The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes. Her earlier books include Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality, The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and two ECPA Gold Medallion Award Winners: How Now Shall We Live (coauthored with Harold Fickett and Chuck Colson) and Total Truth. Her books have been translated into 20 languages. She is professor and scholar in residence at Houston Christian University. A former agnostic, Pearcey has spoken at universities such as Princeton, Stanford, USC, and Dartmouth. She has been quoted in The New Yorker and Newsweek, highlighted as one of the five top women apologists by Christianity Today, and hailed in The Economist as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual."

Today, miraculously, Vince walks in freedom.

Over the course of his years as a senior pastor, Pastor John Hawco learned considerably the roles and responsibilities that come from being within the church. But as years passed, two truths stood out above the rest: spiritual warfare is real, unavoidable, and a significant part of life as a believer, and second, far too many Evangelical churches ignore or misunderstand it. In this episode, Pastor Hawco joins Garry Ingraham to explore why this topic matters so deeply and how Christians can become better equipped to recognize and engage in spiritual battles with wisdom, authority, and hope.

In this episode, Garry Ingraham and guest Jason Mellard discuss the power of the stories we tell ourselves, and the critical importance of recognizing the truth of God, even in our inner world.

Christine Sneeringer grew up in a home that reinforced one message: being a woman is not safe. Being a woman means being abused and rendered powerless by men.

In part one of this two part interview, Christine tells her incredible story of not just redemption from fear of men, and hatred of Christianity, but transformation into a brand new, beautiful woman of God, crafted in his image.

In this episode, Garry Ingraham and Bishop Carolyn Moore have an in-depth and thought-provoking conversation about these questions and the future of a Church that truly reflects God's heart.

True surrender to the lordship of Jesus is rarely comfortable. More often, it’s intense, deeply personal, and calls for continual trust. In part one of this two-part conversation, Keith Boyette shares with Garry Ingraham how God asked him to lay down everything: his lifelong dream of becoming a pastor, a successful career in Washington D.C., and even his family. What followed was a journey of obedience, testing, and ultimately, transformation through the power of surrender.   For more information about Love and Truth Network, please visit https://loveandtruthnetwork.com
