We all struggle in this broken world. And some struggles feel impossible to get through - those we'd never want to endure. Wende Gaikema has endured one of those struggles, the death of her eldest son to suicide. Now, Wende supports others who have lost a child to suicide. In this episode, she courageously talks with host Richard Mendelow and his wingman Christy Mendelow about her experience and how she turned to and trusted God and, in His goodness, helped her gain the strength she needed through it all.

Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow

5/14/2022 Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow "Struggling Well – Part 8"

You have been told that faith has no place in politics. That the church and the state must be kept separate. That a Christian should stay in his lane. But what if that idea—the one you have accepted as fact—was never true to begin with?

In this week's episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow and his wingman Christy Mendelow tackle one of the most consequential lies shaping this nation. The phrase "separation of church and state" does not appear in any founding document. It was lifted from a single letter written by Thomas Jefferson in 1802, taken out of context in a 1947 Supreme Court opinion that had no legal precedent, and has been cited in over 4,000 cases since—while the First Amendment itself has been cited in fewer than 3,000. That is not history. That is misinformation. And our children have been paying the price ever since.

Since prayer was removed from schools in 1962 and the Bible in 1963, divorce rates climbed, SAT scores dropped, and a generation was handed the world without the foundation to navigate it. George Washington said it plainly in his 1796 farewell address—national morality cannot prevail without religious principles. He was right then. The evidence is all around us now.

So the question is not whether your faith belongs in the public square. The question is how much longer you will accept the lie that it doesn't.

Listen now and get the history behind one of the most misunderstood ideas in this nation—and find out what it means to bring your faith into every area of your life.

"Real Faith for the Real World: The Truth About the Separation of Church and State"

Saying yes to God is easy when the path is clear. But what about when it isn't?

In this week's episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow and his wingman Christy Mendelow bring a front-row account of what happens when someone says yes to God without knowing where it will lead. Bunni Pounds had a vision to have the Bible read over the American people. She didn't know where the money would come from, how the logistics would work, or if it would happen at all. She said yes anyway. Fourteen months later, 475 readers and 122 ministries came together in Washington, DC. Colonel Mendelow was among them. Even the President of the United States read. For an entire week, the Bible was read aloud over this nation. And God, who promises to multiply what we offer Him, will do with that what only He can do. We don't begin to know what those yeses will produce.

That is what a yes to God looks like when you get out of the way and trust Him with the outcome.

So where is God asking you to say yes right now? Not to everything—but to the thing He is putting in front of you. Are you moving toward it, or are you waiting until it makes more sense?

The Bible says do it immediately. Not when you are ready. Now.

Tune in and find out what saying yes to God could mean for your life.

"Real Faith for the Real World: Saying Yest to God"

You see it every day. The news, the commentary, the reactions, the words people throw out without thinking.

In this week's episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow is joined by his wingman Christy Mendelow and guest Jeff Egli. They look at a real-world situation—the release of Dennis Coyle after being detained in Afghanistan—and what followed in the comments on social media. What people chose to say. How quickly it turned. How easily words were used to tear down a man most don't even know. It is a clear example of what we're surrounded by—and how quickly things can go in the wrong direction. Colonel Mendelow, Christy, and Jeff examine what unfolded—and the damage it does—through the biblical lens of God's Word.

What that examination brings into focus is something every man deals with—the weight of his own words.

You can't fight fire with fire. More words don't fix things. Scripture is clear: be quick to listen, slow to speak, and measured in how you respond.

Every Christian man needs to hear this conversation. Tune in and find out how to speak with the discipline of a Christian warrior.
