Interviews

Mike Novotny, author of “What’s Big Starts Small,” joins Michael to talk through common distractions that may prevent us from realizing our growth and maturity in Christ.

Originally recorded at Immanuel Bible Church in Springfield, Virginia, Jim Traficant, Frank Finelli, and Jeremy Traficant share the story of how God moved powerfully in the midst of multiple urgent medical crises.

Alisa Childers began re-examining her faith after a jarring experience in an unexpected place left her questioning what she believed—and why. In this episode, she talks with Michael about rebuilding her faith intellectually through studying apologetics and hermeneutics. Alisa’s newest book, “Live Your Truth and Other Lies,” exposes five damaging lies that permeate our culture, both inside and outside the church, and ultimately leave us “anxious, exhausted, and self-obsessed.”

Dr. Dave Gibson is back on inContext to talk about his new book, “In My Father’s Wake: How an Anxious Boy Learned to Love a Difficult Dad”. Hardwon wisdom shrouded in humor, Dave’s storytelling offers belonging, comfort, and a gentle challenge to any (many) of us who bear a father wound.

Dr. Dann Spader is back on inContext with a deep well of wisdom and practical encouragement for making disciples. “When you fall in love with Jesus, you want to do what He told you to do. What’s that? Go make disciples.”

Dr. Michael Lawson joins Michael to discuss discipleship, barriers preventing healthy discipleship today, and how to foster communities where discipleship can thrive.

Dennis Allen joins Michael to address key issues with discipleship that he’s identified in his book, The Disciple Dilemma: Rethinking and Reforming how the Church does Discipleship. A great conversation with challenging reminders and encouraging, pragmatic steps forward.

Brian Rosner joins Michael to talk about the modern age of individualism and how identity is actually found outside of one’s self.

Parents, this is the help you’ve been looking for. Founder and CEO of Foundation Worldview, Elizabeth Urbanowicz, joins Michael to highlight some of the greatest challenges parents face today and to offer practical resources to help them teach their children how to navigate our cultural context through a Christian worldview.

Morris Proctor joins Michael for a conversation about discipleship, Bible teaching, and what we learn about Jesus from Jesus’ prayer at Gethsemene.
