The Air We Breathe
Is Christianity still relevant in a post-modern Western culture? It is when you understand that Christianity is the source of our society's most cherished values—values like freedom, kindness, progress, and equality. Join us for Equipped as author and speaker Glen Scrivener will take us on a journey to discover how the teachings of Jesus not only turned the ancient world upside down but how they continue to underpin the way we think of life, worth, and meaning.

From Transgender to Transformed
At Equipped with Chris Brooks, we regularly hear from parents who are struggling with hurt and fear when their child embraces a new gender. Laura Smalts was that child. She believed the lies and the false promises of freedom—until she discovered true freedom in the love of Jesus Christ. Laura will share her story and offer insights about how to relate well to loved ones living a transgender life.

Preaching in a Post-Truth Culture
Our churches are vital to the spiritual health of our nation but how can we preach and teach Biblical truth in this era when people question everything? How can we engage the minds of unbelievers and equip Christians, too? Chris Brooks will explore these questions with pastor and professor Dr. Eric C. Redmond on the next edition of Equipped.
