There are so many voices today talking about being safe, and scaring people concerning the COVID-19.

Abortion advocates fight hard to convince the public that their fight is justified and noble. Yet, you will notice that their fight is always about the rights of the woman … never about the rights of the child. Shouldn’t all parties involved in a pregnancy be included in a decision such as abortion, especially the child whose life is at stake? In this episode, Larry talks about how abortion is an act of hate.Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed Guests. Visit CitySites Urban Media

With sky rocketing costs of housing, many people are losing the battle of having a place to live. Homelessness is an issue for every community in America today. Streets are full of people who are marginalized, including the working poor, those with mental health issues, those who have alcohol and drugs addictions, and those who have plainly just given up. In this episode, Larry talks with a man who has worked hard to bring relief and hope to those who call the streets their home. Ken Peterson has been a pastor, was the former CEO of Union Gospel Mission in St. Paul, Minnesota, and now is a Regional Coordinator for Citygate Network, an organization that helps ministries around the country be more effective in their work surrounding homelessness.

The emphasis in most churches today is centered upon the idea of let’s be as successful as we can as a witness to the blessings of God. Let’s show Him off by how He has blessed us. However, this is a slippery slope that draws us into building our best lives now. This can overtake the more important spiritual principles that Jesus taught us … deny yourself, pick up your cross, and follow Me.

Culture is no friend to our family or our children. Culture is what creeps into our homes and into the lives of our kids only to warp their worldview contrary to our values. In extreme cases, kids are harmed beyond repair and either end up hooked on drugs or exploited by sex traffickers.

Why is leadership the most important element in the Church? Well, we used to have a saying in ministry that summed it up … as the leader goes, so goes the church. Scripture tells us that leaders will be judged with a stricter judgment because of their influence. You see, leaders influence others. They convince people about doctrine, about worship, about prayer, and a host of other spiritual values that the Bible Teaches. However, while leaders influence, they can also mislead. Most leaders who do mislead do not do it intentionally, but until someone steps in to do a course correction in the church, the leader remains stuck. In this episode, Larry and his guest, Pastor Chis Heeb, talk about leadership in the  church.Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed Guests. Visit CitySites Urban Media

People seem to like the half time shows of the Super Bowl, but are these shows just another example of the objectification of women?

The untimely death of someone famous or close to us, brings us to thinking about our own death and especially how quickly it can happen and how certain it is.

We know there will be False Gospels that will be preached in the Last Days. Jesus told us that many would come in His Name and deceive many. This is why we need to repeatedly talk about the REAL Gospel, so we aren’t fooled by what comes our way posing as something from God … False Gospels are not from God.

Cook's helper or Partner? In Genesis 2, when God creates the woman, she is described in relation to the man. In two Hebrew words packed full of meaning, ‘ezer kenegdo,’ God describes how the two are designed to go together. They are made for each other, just hours apart. Once together, they are to be a resourceful and satisfied pair, at home together in Eden. Modern language versions of the Bible translate these two Hebrew words in confusing and contradictory ways. But there really is no cause for confusion. The two words in Genesis 2:18 are not that hard to translate. An ‘ezer kenegdo’ is someone who is equal, a counterpart, one who works together with another as they help each other through sharing their strengths.The Eden Podcast is where we think again about the Bible on women and men.

It turns out that there’s been a lot of pollution dumped into Genesis 3:16 by translations into the modern languages we use today. They mix new ideas into the verse and cover over the ideas God put there in the original Hebrew words of the verse. Translations make it look like God cursed the woman when God cursed neither the woman nor the man. The translation of that verse has been incorrect. So, why aren’t our translations doing better? And, why would there be a problem translating this verse? What’s going on?The Eden Podcast is where we think again about the Bible on women and men.
