Have you ever missed an opportunity to do something good—not because you didn't care, but because you were somewhere else in your head?

On a layover in Frankfurt, Germany, host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) walked past a hungry homeless man with a full meal's worth of leftovers sitting on the table behind him. He admits he was too caught up in his own disappointment to see the opportunity right in front of him. And it stayed with him.

In Part 1 of this two-part mini-series, Colonel Mendelow and his wingman Christy Mendelow open a conversation that is less about failure and more about what is possible. Small acts of kindness—a recovered voicemail, a volunteer EMT saving a life at a parade, cold drinks taken to men working outside in the heat—are happening all around us every day. The question is whether we are awake enough to see them and present enough to act.

James 2:14-17 makes it plain: faith without deeds is incomplete. Not because our works earn us anything, but because in our salvation, the desire to serve will grow. Loving others is worship.

So what opportunities are passing you by right now?

Listen in and be encouraged to open your eyes to what is right in front of you.

Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow

"Missed Opportunities, Part 1: What Has Your Attention?"

250 years ago, men risked their fortunes, their families, and their lives to establish something the world had never seen—a nation built on biblical truth, dedicated to God-given liberty, and committed to the idea that our rights extend not from government, but from our Creator.

That nation is still here. The question is what we are doing with it.

In this special Independence Day edition of “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow,” host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) —Marine officer, immigrant, and Jewish believer in Christ—and his wingman Christy Mendelow reflect on America's Christian heritage, what it actually means to live in a nation so uniquely blessed by God, and what Christians are called to do with the freedom that was secured at such great cost.

Liberty requires responsibility. The Supreme Court has affirmed this is a Christian nation. And if Christian Americans do not take their faith into every area of life, this nation risks losing the very foundation it was built on.

Although the weekend of fireworks and festivities has passed, take time to tune in, reflect on what this nation was built on, and find out what four practical steps every Christian American can take right now to be part of the solution.

"Declaration of Independence 250 Years Later"

You know the feeling. You read something in Scripture, or feel called to do something uncomfortable, and then it starts.

Yes, but...

Yes, but the world won't like it. Yes, but it won't make a difference. Yes, but look at what everyone else is doing.

With this show, the "Real Faith for the Real World" series comes to a close—and host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow get to the core of what it has all been about. Not yes, but—but God. Two words that change everything.

From a pitcher who wrote a Bible verse on his hat and held his ground, to Rosa Parks who simply said no, to Bunni Pounds who said yes to a vision that seemed impossible from the start—the series has shown one thing over and over. Real faith takes courage. And courage is not merely believing the Truth. It is living it, despite perceived or real personal risk.

So how do you walk it out? Tune in to find out—Richard offers four practical points to help you run your race, stay focused, and stop letting the world around you decide who you are going to be.

"Real Faith for the Real World: Two Words That Change Everything—Series Finale"

It is not your last mistake that defines you. It is your next opportunity to be the man God wants you to be.

In this Father’s Day episode, host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow and his wingman Christy Mendelow speak directly to what this day is really about. Not the cards, not the grilling, not the commercial version of fatherhood. The real thing.

The United States has the highest rate of fatherless children of any nation on earth. An estimated 18 million children are growing up without a father. Studies show that the vast majority of school shooters came from unstable or fatherless homes. The enemy knows exactly where to strike—and he has been striking there for a long time.

So, this is the question every man needs to sit with: Are you the man you want to be? Are you the father you should be? And if not—what is stopping you?

Whatever your past, whatever your mistakes, wherever you are right now—with Christ, there is always a next step.

Make time for a conversation that could change how you show up for your family.
