  • The Resurrection of Jesus, a Supernatural Event

    The Resurrection of Jesus, a Supernatural Event
    Apr 20 2025
    Easter Sunday celebrates Jesus Christ rising from the dead. That day changed the trajectory of a world drowning in sin. God broke through the barrier separating Him from His highest and most valuable creation... humanity. But believing in the Resurrection of Jesus means believing in the supernatural, in a vast world of power that exists outside the realm of physical matter. Author Lee Strobel says the Resurrection is part of the plethora of spiritual mysteries in the Bible and also in our modern world today. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Strobel talks about his book, "Seeing The Supernatural". The Supernatural includes angels, demons, mystical dreams, near-death experiences, and of course, the Resurrection. Many of these mysteries have been investigated and studied separately. But putting them all together as part of a massive metaphysical reality is a game changer, because it means all these mysteries point to One Being who controls it all.

  • The Easter Story is More than Meets the Eye (Or the Ear)

    The Easter Story is More than Meets the Eye (Or the Ear)
    Apr 13 2025
    How many Roman soldiers does it take to arrest one man? If the man is Jesus of Nazareth... hundreds. On the night of His arrest, Jesus's reputation was that of power and miracles. The Romans were taking no chances. In the Garden of Gethsemane, we see the Lord of all creation humbling Himself to take the place of humanity. He knows His arrest will end with death by crucifixion. But what happens on that night in that Garden has far more inciteful details than most biblical readers have fathomed, like who was that young man who ran away from the soldiers naked after being stripped of his loin cloth? Or the High Priest's servant whose ear is cut off? Why are these and more events even included in the biblical narrative? On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, theologian Rick Renner explores his new book for adults and children, "Easter: The Rest of the Story." He explains how even the most minute details of the various scenes in the Garden are important to understanding who Jesus is and what He came to do. He is God incarnate, come into the world to pay the penalty of sin for all of humanity, for all time. Easter celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. It is the cornerstone of Christianity. Without it, nothing in the Garden makes sense. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Investigating Miracles: Are They Supernatural, or Just Natural?

    Investigating Miracles: Are They Supernatural, or Just Natural?
    Apr 6 2025
    Polls show the vast majority of people believe in miracles. But what is a miracle? When does a healing defy the laws of medicine? Investigative journalist and author Billy Hallowell journeyed through the realm of the supernatural and the natural to find out if miracles do happen, why they happen, and why they don't happen. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Hallowell talks about his documentary "Investigating the Supernatural: Miracles", now streaming on Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN). Hallowell says the bar was set pretty high to determine if someone indeed was miraculously healed, that there could be no other scientific reason for the healing. The investigation focuses on several different people including the case of Dr. Chauncey Crandall, a cardiologist who prayed over a patient who suffered a massive heart attack and had no pulse for 40 minutes. The patient was given one more jolt from the defibrillator after Crandall's prayers and his heart began beating. But that was only part of the miracle... The patient had no resulting brain damage. But why was Crandall's prayer for his patient answered, and yet years before his prayer for his own dying child was not? That, Hallowell says, is part of the mystery of our walk with God in searching for a miracle. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Investing In Your Faith: The Timothy Plan Founder Advises 'Let the Bible Be Your Guide'

    Investing In Your Faith: The Timothy Plan Founder Advises 'Let the Bible Be Your Guide'
    Mar 30 2025
    Thirty-two years ago, finance expert Art Ally got tired of investing in companies that had a track record of diverting from biblical moral principles. So, he created The Timothy Plan, an investment firm that would screen out companies that pursued "unholy agendas," like abortion, pornography or sex trafficking. And the biblical directive has been profitable... to the tune of nearly $3 billion in the fund. But that's not the first priority. The often-misquoted verse in the Bible, Timothy 6:10, doesn't say money is the root of all evil, but that the "love of money" is the root of all evil. It's a big distinction. It means people of faith should put God first and make decisions about investments that align with God's Word. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Ally speaks frankly about the spiritual warfare going on in the financial world, and that companies like Disney and Target have lost their way morally. They are not even considered as part of a Timothy Plan portfolio. While supporting Israel, as the land of God's chosen people is the basis of their Israel Common Values Fund. Why is it important to care about where your money goes? Ally says, because there's nothing more central to anyone's life than money. And there's nothing more important than glorifying God.

  • Laine Lawson Craft: Fighting Back Against the Spiritual Forces After Your Child

    Laine Lawson Craft: Fighting Back Against the Spiritual Forces After Your Child
    Mar 23 2025
    There's a spiritual battle waging in the world today. It's the same ancient warfare waged since the beginning of time. Today's manifestation is targeting our children. Christian author and speaker Laine Lawson Craft is out to give parents the spiritual ammunition they'll need to bring their prodigal child back into the fold of faith. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Craft talks about her devotional "Warfare Parenting" and the book it's based on "The Parent's Battle Plan." Craft says her "aha moment" came during several fights with her three children. There would be screaming and shouting over how each wanted to live their lives. Then she realized... she wasn't fighting against her child, but with the forces of evil that are out to kill and destroy them. Drugs, alcohol, sexual promiscuity, depression and thoughts of suicide are part of the spiritual forces of evil today. Craft says, prayer and handing a child over to God, is one of the first steps a parent must take. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • 'Side Eye Bride' Relying on Faith to Fight Against Hateful Social Media Attacks

    'Side Eye Bride' Relying on Faith to Fight Against Hateful Social Media Attacks
    Mar 16 2025
    A split-second look in the direction of a screaming baby out of the corner of the bride's eye became a viral TikTok video and sparked a wave of heated debates about 'childless' weddings. Texas bride Claire Kendall Taetz now regrets posting the video, which she thought would be a lighthearted way to 'get over' the crying baby interruption at the most important event of her life. But instead, it's become a source of pain. The video has had more than 3.5 million views online, the story surfacing on Facebook, People, New York Post and more, while garnering more than three thousand comments; the majority of which are positive. But the small percentage of haters has shaken her. The comments were mean and spiteful, and some even questioning whether or not she's a 'good Christian'. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, newlywed Taetz talks about the ordeal that has shocked her to her core, while also driving her deeper into her identity in Christ, and helped along the way by the devotional "Light For Today", written by the host of this Lighthouse Faith podcast, Lauren Green.

  • "A Matter of Faith" with Charles Payne

    "A Matter of Faith" with Charles Payne
    Mar 11 2025
    Your faith and your finances don't have to live in two separate worlds. In fact, counter to popular opinion, the Bible has some very positive things to say about the accumulation of wealth. But it also, of course, has some negative things to say as well. One of the most misquoted verses in the Bible is 1 Timothy 6:10. It's quoted as "Money is the root of all evil." But that's not actually what the verse says. It actually says, "For the love of money is the root of all evil." What's the difference? Well, having money is not a bad thing, it's when money has you. It's when money becomes your fundamental trust instead of the God who allowed you to prosper. Fox Business anchor Charles Payne joins this special edition of Lighthouse Faith podcast to discuss a special episode of his show "Making Money" this week. It's called "A Matter of Faith," about how more and more people are using their faith to guide their portfolios. Catch the special Tuesday, March 11th at 2pm ET on FBN!
