On this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve reflects on September 11, 2001—where he was when the attacks happened, the fear and uncertainty Americans experienced that day, and the remarkable unity that followed on September 12. For a generation that didn't live through 9/11, Steve explains why remembering the events—and the people who responded with courage and sacrifice—still matters.
Adam Holtz from Plugged In joins Steve to share his own memories of 9/11 and discuss how parents can help younger generations understand a day they know only as history. They also look at how movies have helped preserve the story of September 11 and discuss the theatrical return of The Passion of the Christ, its powerful depiction of Jesus' sacrifice, and whether its graphic realism is appropriate for younger viewers.
Steve also revisits Billy Graham's powerful message to the nation following the attacks, including Graham's words about evil, suffering, our need for one another, the uncertainty of life, and the hope of eternity through faith in Christ. It's a reminder that even in some of life's darkest moments, our ultimate hope is found in Jesus.
Plus, it's Friday—which means a little fun with a Babylon Bee Review, the Dad Joke of the Day, and Faith Between Our Ears, featuring 1 Peter 5:5 and the call to humble ourselves before God and trust His timing.
