In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow take a hard look at what’s happening in our culture—the...

You can’t back into Heaven. You can’t coast, drift, or reverse your way in. Where is your life headed right now?

Every choice is a turn of the wheel. Are you steering by God’s Word—or by the world’s map? What happens when the road gets hard, when persecution rises, or when compromise seems easier than conviction?

In moments like this, we need to be reminded of the only way forward—standing firm in Christ. That’s the focus of this episode of "Courageous Christianity w...

What lies are keeping you stuck—stuck in life, stuck in faith, stuck in a cycle you can’t break?

It’s not only the lies the world throws at you. It’s the lies you’ve believed about yourself—and even the lies you’ve told yourself about God—that keep you trapped. But God’s Truth sets you free, and it’s that Truth that draws you closer to Him.
