You Were Never Meant to Do It All
Feeling exhausted, anxious, and overwhelmed? You're not alone! If you've ever said, "I just can't do it all," you’re right…you were never meant to! That's the powerful message of Kelly Kapic's book, You Were Never Meant to Do It All, and he joins Chris Brooks on Equipped with encouragement to accept God's design for our humanity so we can live well—within our limits!

Sharing Your Faith at the Holidays
Holiday gatherings provide opportunities to have spiritual conversations with family and friends. Some of our loved ones may be hostile to the gospel, others may be more open than they were before. Evangelism professor Dr. Rick Richardson helps us talk with our friends and family about Jesus at the holidays. Be encouraged in your faith conversations when you join us for the next Equipped with Chris Brooks.

Praying for the Salvation of Loved Ones
It's our goal on Equipped to help you learn to evaluate current events and issues through the clear lens of Scripture so you can speak and act like Jesus. We will begin by praying for those impacted by the anti-Semitic attack in Australia on Sunday evening. Then Chris talks with listeners about the people they're praying for the salvation of during this Christmas season. Join us as we spend the hour in prayer when you join us for Equipped.

The Grace Marriage
Marriage is a genuine blessing, but busy schedules, unresolved conflicts, and external pressures can slowly unravel a marriage. Shortly after Marilyn and Brad Rhoads got married, they encountered these same patterns and pain. If you need a marriage reset, Brad and Marilyn can help. On the next Equipped, learn how God transformed their relationship as they grew a grace marriage.
