Today, Roberta talks to Aaron Rios about his new book Spirit and Truth: Reclaiming the Heart of Worship, available from Lifeword publishers.Does our worship mean anything? What is the ultimate purpose of our songs?The songs we sing in church or listen to were never meant to be a substitute for our worship; they were meant to enhance it. It's time to regain our voices; it's time to push through the outer court and reclaim the high places-the altars-where true worship happens.Jesus longs to fulfill the lyrics of the songs we sing. But how do we move from words to action-to true experience? How does worship ripple through our communities, touching those who stand outside our realms, unacquainted with the resonance of conferences, concerts, and church services? When and how will they feel the presence of Jesus, the Healer, the Deliverer, the Transformer?In the coming days, weeks, months, and years, the church may look different. Churches today are afforded the freedom and luxury of grand stages, but tomorrow we may traverse from grand stages to hidden home sanctuaries. Yet, one truth remains unwavering: our sacred obligation to worship, no matter the backdrop.Whether you are a worship pastor, worship leader, or worshipper, this book was designed to kindle the flames of intimate worship moments for all Christians, no matter their position, talent or skill set. It beckons you to reflect on the gravity carried by the role we call "worship leader." As you journey through these pages, you will not only be enlightened, but also inspired to venture deeper into the sacred realm of worship.Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Today, Roberta talks to James Spencer about his new book Serpents and Doves: Christians, Politics, and the Art of Bearing Witness.Serpents and Doves provides Christians with a vision for political engagement that is governed by the uniquely Christian task of pointing to and glorifying God. To do so, the book considers questions such as:Why is it important to keep the Church and state distinct?Can the United States be described as "Christian"?How might Christians make political decisions?Isn't there a difference between using the Bible to reinforce a political point and reading the Bible for the purposes of transformation?These and many other questions guide readers through biblical texts and Christian thinking about the authority of the Triune God, the Church's unique role in the world, and the interaction between Christians and the governing authorities in the United States. Serpents and Doves does not argue that Christians should not participate in the politics of the United States. Instead, it calls Christians to put the politics of the day in proper perspective by recognizing the political nature of worship, discipleship, and the proclamation that Jesus is Lord.Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Today, guest host Luke Taylor talks to Karl Vaters about his new book De-sizing the Church: How Church Growth Became a Science, Then an Obsession, and What's Next, available from Moody publishers.Big churches didn’t create the problems facing today’s congregations. But our obsession with size has come at a great cost.We’re obsessed with bigness. Supersized meals and TV screens. Square footage. And big churches. “What’s the size of your church?” That question has stirred insecurities or stroked the ego of too many pastors.For a long time, we thought bigger was better. “Church growth” and “numbers” dominated our thoughts and conversations. But more than ever, people are feeling disconnected. Trust in the church is dwindling.In De-sizing the Church, pastor Karl Vaters takes us on a multi-faceted journey through our centuries-long obsession with size, both in and outside the church, and how it has negatively affected those who serve and worship in big and small congregations alike.  He also dispels some prevailing myths and affirms what was good and true about the Church Growth Movement. And he invites us to consider how removing church size from the equation can be an essential element in rebuilding trust, restoring relationships, and renewing our spiritual lives. This book reframes the way we see the size of our churches and helps us see health and fruitfulness through de-sized lenses. The result? Renewed congregations that reach surrounding communities and faithfully engage culture. Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Today, Roberta talks to Julie Busler about her new book Joyful Sorrow, available from Iron Stream publishers.When darkness suffocates, look for the light.Depression and suicide cases are rising at an alarming rate, with suicide being a leading cause of death in the United States. For Christians, particularly those in vocational ministry, the stigma surrounding mental illness and mental health often creates an atmosphere of secrecy where the enemy’s lies reign. But when science and religion mingle in the recovery of a believer, not only are minds stabilized but true hope is found.Julie Busler understands the pain of mental illness and has learned that trials not only humanize us but increase our capacity to be used by God.

With vulnerability and grace, Julie walks us through how to find help and hope and demonstrates that even in the sorrow of mental illness, joy can coexist.Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Today, Roberta talks to Carl Barrett about his new book God's People Count (Monday Blues to Sunday Pews), available from Resource Publications.We are undoubtedly living in a society and culture that is growing stranger by the day--creating more distance between others, minute by minute. It seems that people are living in their own little bubbles and silos more than ever--with no interest in connecting with people effectively. And it is evident that the rise of the digital age is affecting people mentally and emotionally, leading to voidness and isolation and a sense of hopelessness and helplessness. Billions of people are connecting with an unproductive device in their hands when it should be the word of God! There is no spiritual value when we allow the things of this world to consume our lives more than God's divine nature. Do we really think anything will improve in our homes, communities, churches, schools, country, and globally if we're not grounded and connected in the Truths of his word? We must realize that connecting with humans physically, emotionally, and spiritually is how God designed us. Just like our Creator wants a relationship with you and me, he wants us to bond with others so they can also see the experience of his abundant blessings and goodness in our lives. We cannot afford to be on the sidelines because it's all about cultivating genuine care for God's creation and putting it into practice for the sake of ourselves and others, now more than ever.Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.

They think they have the real thing, but they’re confusing a form of religion for authentic Christian faith.”This is a perfect description of the kind of faith I had growing up in my Christian family and church. And I lived with a secret - many shameful secrets. Sexual abuse and early sexualization by peers led to porn addiction and chronic masturbation.To make matters worse, as a boy and young man growing up in a culture of Christian fundamentalism, my emotional and sexual attractions were toward other guys. I lived in the dominant shadow of a religious, rules-based Christianity, while desire for gay relationships and curiosity about LGBTQ+ culture grew intensely.Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Today, Roberta talks to Janet Holm McHenry about her new book Praying Personalities: Finding Your Natural Prayer Style, available from Kregel publishers.Discover the particular way God designed you to connect with prayer You should pray in the morning. You should write out your prayers. You should make prayer lists and pray through them every day. You should pray with others or out loud. We've all heard the "you shoulds" of prayer from pulpits, presenters, and well-meaning friends. But when none of these ways to pray feel natural, what's next?  Janet Holm McHenry has studied prayer extensively, and the one thing she knows for sure is that there's no one-size-fits-all way to pray. Instead, there are different styles of prayer--and by discovering the style most instinctive to each individual personality, staying in touch with God throughout the day becomes simple and all the more joyful. In this book, the author helps readers determine their particular praying personality by examining the praying styles of biblical people, spiritual gifts, and various ideas about personality, including the classic temperaments, the Enneagram, and more. McHenry includes scores of bulleted suggestions for developing a praying lifestyle that works for individuals. She has also created a Praying Personality Quiz for readers (available in the book and online) to help narrow down the style that will most naturally fit into how they process a prayer life.  Whether a longtime Christian who has tried various prayer strategies but can't keep up or a new believer looking to learn about this spiritual discipline, every reader who dives into this book will come away with a renewed prayer life and a greater understanding of who God created them to be.Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Today, Roberta talks to Paul Richardson, Jr. about his book Transparent: How to See Through the Powerful Assumptions That Control You, available from Clovercroft publishers.Assumptions are the most potent of ideas, but also the least understood.Transparent reveals what assumptions we make, how they control us, and how they are all inherently religious. Even atheists are religious at the level of their assumptions. Some assumptions are true and most are not. How can you tell without being an intellectual?Transparent introduces the Transparent App, an innovative and creative tool that helps people quickly see through the messages they encounter daily in the things they read, watch, and hear using the power of assumptions. The Transparent App is simple enough for a student to use, but powerful enough for adults to find God and engage with Him in their areas of interest, expertise, and leadership.How can someone bring God with them to work or school? How does God give us knowledge and guidance in the things that matter in real life? At the level of assumptions God is everywhere.Transparent is not just a theoretical theological exercise for intellectuals. It “translates” the complex ideologies of the intellectuals into everyday language for everyday people. Written more like an adventure than a textbook, Transparent is a refreshing departure from the usual books about apologetics, theology, and culture.Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Today, Roberta talks to Ike Miller about his new book Good Baggage: How Your Difficult Childhood Prepared You for Healthy Relationships.Baggage has gotten a bad rap. We think it's all bad. We think it makes us less likely to have good, healthy relationships today. But baggage isn't just the bad stuff that happened to us in the past. It's the lessons we've taken from the pain we carry. It's how what we've been through has actually made us stronger and more capable than we imagine. And it's how we're going to make our current relationships work.Far from minimizing past pain, pastor Ike Miller shows you how to go through the baggage you carry from a difficult childhood and pull out the good stuff. The intentionality you've developed. The empathy you've gained. The trust you value so highly. Miller shares from his own past in a dysfunctional family impacted by alcoholism and divorce, and his present as part of a healthy and loving family, to illustrate how to stop letting your past sabotage your present. You'll find no platitudes or pat answers here. Rather, you'll discover untapped riches of experience and knowledge you already have that can make your relationships thrive and change the course of your life and legacy.Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Today, Roberta talks to Tim Shoemaker about The Very Best, Hands-On, Kinda Dangerous Family Devotions, available from Revell publishers.As parents hoping to raise godly children, we may understand the importance of regular family devotions. However, we may find it difficult to get our kids (or even ourselves) fully engaged. But what if devotions looked less like sitting in the living room listening to someone read and trying to pry answers out of reluctant kids and more like, say, electrocuting a pickle? Or converting a leaf blower into a toilet paper launcher? Or lighting toothpaste on fire?These hands-on, kinda dangerous, totally unforgettable object lessons (along with nearly fifty others) are not only more fun than other family devotions--they actually deliver the spiritual impact you desire for your kids. They'll even get dads and any too-cool-for-this-stuff teens jazzed about a weekly family devotional time.So put away the flannelgraph, get out the safety goggles, and start bringing the truths of Scripture to vivid life in your household.

Today, Roberta talks to Don Mercer about his new book Rapture Mountain: Where No Skier Gets Left Behind.It is unlikely you have ever read a novel like this one.

Many have authored books about what occurs after the rapture during the tribulation period when all hell breaks loose on those that are left behind. But what is God doing today to maximize the number of souls he will rescue and minimize the numbers of those left behind to suffer His wrath?In RAPTURE MOUNTAIN, you will meet Steve and his wife, Beth, and some of their friends, who take a vacation to learn downhill skiing when a detour leads them to an unplanned resort.

Today, Roberta talks to HollyLu Jostes about her new book Salty: The Deconstruction of a Good Christian, available from Redemption Press publishers."Growing up, I wanted to desire God. But I never desired him like I desired popularity, pizza or People magazine. . . . It was infinitely easier to play the part of the good Christian than to actually live like one."Hollylu Jostes was a good Christian. From the outside, she was everything Proverbs 31 required. But inside her foundation was fundamentally flawed. She wanted God but not at the cost of everything. She wanted to be "in the fold" and saved from damnation without it affecting her decisions on any given day. In the club but not a Gold Star member. This is the problem with lukewarm faith-it kills you before you feel it killing you. Weary of claiming a faith that promised supernatural and transformational power, yet living with fear, anxiety, and doubt, Hollylu was at the ultimate fork in the road: reject her faith or stop thinking so deeply about it. The third option wasn't even on her radar: total commitment to God. Salty: The Deconstruction of a Good Christian will take you on Hollylu's journey as she examines her faith in relation to her everyday life. Her refreshingly candid story-full of feisty exchanges with God-will inspire you to live as salt of the earth and as an agent of change, fully surrendered and transformed by Jesus. Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Should Christians who are facing death accept the offer of an assisted death?In How Should We then Die?, physician Ewan Goligher draws from general revelation and Scripture to persuade and equip Christians to oppose physician-assisted death.
