PRIDE MONTH IS COMING UP. WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS AS A CHRISTIAN?

Discussed by Dr. Alex McFarland
with Alex McFarland Ministries (www.alexmcfarland.com/)

Professional basketball player Jaden Ivey has been “released” by the Chicago Bulls for taking a stand as a Christian against what is now called “Pride Month.”

Today, Dr. Alex McFarland responds to this news, saying: “This action by the Bulls is disgraceful, but emblematic of how much America needs to repent.” Dr. McFarland is a noted Christian apologist, author, and evangelist. He is the co-host of the podcast: “Exploring the World”.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Should Christian pro-basketball players be able to elect not to participate in activity contrary to their religious beliefs? Dr. McFarland compares this to a Jew being forced to participate in a Christmas celebration at work.

When being interviewed by a journalist, has Dr. McFarland ever turned the conversation to his belief in Jesus Christ?

How should Christians react to Pride Month being celebrated in the workplace?

Why are too many afraid to speak up in the workplace? Is it fear of being reprimanded – or worse? Dr. McFarland encourages all Christians to stand up and not be silent.

SUPREME COURT GETS IT RIGHT – FOR ONCE

Discussed by Jeff Johnston
with Focus on the Family www.Family.org

Free speech won big in last Tuesday’s Supreme Court decision, but so did kids under the age of 18 and their counselors.

Today, Focus on the Family Issues Analyst, Jeff Johnston, discusses the conversion therapy case: Chiles vs Salazar. Jeff has extensive knowledge about the current tide of issues facing families around sexual identity confusion.

Click here to read Jeff Johnston’s op-ed on this topic.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What are the facts concerning the Chiles vs Salazar conversion therapy case that was recently before the Supreme Court of the United States?

The judges ruled with an overwhelming 8-1 decision. Was this a surprise?

How do counselors help clients with unwanted homosexuality and transgenderism? Jeff first explains the term “conversion therapy” and then discusses why Christians should be free to help those who are seeking help.

Can anyone find freedom from homosexuality and transgenderism? Call 1-800-A-FAMILY or click here for free online resources and to contact a licensed counselor with Focus on the Family.

ROMANS, ADOPTION, AND THE CHRISTIAN WALK

Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 3

WHEN WE THINK OF ADOPTION, WE THINK OF COUPLES WHO LONG FOR A CHILD TO HOLD IN THEIR ARMS FOREVER. BUT WHAT DID PAUL MEAN WHEN HE WROTE ABOUT US BEING ADOPTED INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD?

Mark Lanier continues with his Romans series this week reminding us that we owe the flesh nothing because we are sons and daughters of the King through glory, not suffering.

If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

ROMAN ADOPTION: Canceled Debt (Romans 8:12-13)

“God helps those who help themselves.” Why is this perspective so very, very wrong?

Why was Paul so adamant that we pay attention to our salvation? Mark discusses a very important word to explain the purpose of oration (spoken) or narration (writings).

As Christians, are we to just “try harder” to be good people? Or are we to yield to the spirit in all we do and say?


ROMAN ADOPTION: We are not slaves. We are sons (and daughters). (Romans 8:14-15)

What are the defining marks of “sonship”?

Why do we follow God and His commandments? Are you allowing God to actually lead you, though?

A RIGHT RESPONSE TO PALM SUNDAY

Discussed by Pastor Jarrett Stephens
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 3

WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE TO PALM SUNDAY? DO YOU TRULY APPRECIATE WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT IS STILL HAPPENING TODAY?

This week, we are airing Pastor Jarrett Stephens Palm Sunday sermon from March 29, 2026. Pastor Jarrett preached about several people from Scripture who either prophesied about the death of Jesus or rejected the very idea of it.

Scripture Passage: Luke 19:28-40

Find Pastor Jarrett Stephens’ sermon here.

Find Pastor Jarrett Stehens’ sermon notes here.

If you have questions about a sermon, please contact Champion Forest at questions@cfbc.org

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is the story of Israel? What did they do over and over and over again? Did they eventually turn back to God in humble obedience? Yesterday, Pastor Jarrett read from 1 Samuel 4.

How did Ezekiel treat God? What was his vision about the Temple? What is significant about the mountain? (Ezekiel 11:23; Ezekiel 43:1,2, 4-5, 7)

Why is Pastor Jarrett speaking about rejection on Palm Sunday? What is the correlation? Pastor Jarrett compares our rejection of God to “Where’s Waldo”. Yes. Yes, he does.


If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, text the word JESUS to 77069 and a pastor or counselor from CFBC will call you back.

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Heavenly Father,

We thank you for your care and compassion towards those who believe in your son, Jesus Christ.

Your love never ceases. Your mercies never come to an end. Each day we are greeted with your faithfulness.

Lord, as we stand on the rock of our salvation, open our eyes and hearts to your call to serve.

May we be good stewards, serving one another, sharing the gifts we have received from you.

May we, as Christ-followers, be steadfast, immovable, and always abounding in work for the Kingdom.

The harvest is white. Laborers are few. Here we stand, Lord. Use us today.

And if you grant us tomorrow, let’s repeat.

All for the cause of Christ, in whose name we pray,

Amen
