Lisa Fields is joined by author and apologist Abdu Murray for a deep, honest conversation about the converging "cultural tsunamis" of our current age: gender ideology and artificial intelligence. Abdu explains how these forces threaten to collapse our understanding of reality, fueling a technological desire to become "godlike" that mirrors the ancient Tower of Babel. By blurring the lines between humans and machines, culture often leaves us confused about our true identity.

What does faith look like in an age of outrage, culture wars, and division? How do we pursue justice without losing our soul in the process?

In this timely conversation, Lisa Fields sits down with Justin Giboney — co-founder of the AND Campaign and author of "Don’t Let Nobody Turn You Around" — to unpack the lessons we must recover from the Civil Rights generation.

• How the Civil Rights generation fought injustice without losing their soul
• The danger of online “conflict entrepreneurs” shaping our worldview
• Local action vs. national chaos

What do you do when the Bible offends you? What do we do with seemingly problematic scriptures?

From stories of slavery and violence to verses about gender and judgment, many people wrestle with the Bible’s hardest passages. In this unabashedly honest and thought-provoking discussion, Lisa Fields sits down with Dr. Jo Vitale and Dr. Esau McCaulley to unpack the context behind the controversy — and explore how understanding history, culture, language, and God’s heart can turn confusion into clarity.

They confront:

• Divine Justice: Reconciling God's goodness with commands for war and annihilation (e.g., 1 Samuel 15:3, Deuteronomy 20:16).
• Slavery: Why the apostles instructed slaves to obey masters instead of condemning slavery outright.
• Sexual Ethics: The New Testament's warnings regarding same-sex relations and exclusion from salvation.
• Gender: Questions about women in leadership (1 Timothy 2) and ritual purity after childbirth (Leviticus 12:5).
• Eternal Punishment: How Christians should understand hell.
• Lot and Rahab: Wrestling with the problematic actions of figures called "righteous" or "faithful".

Recorded live at the Museum of the Bible, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and deepen your faith.

Lisa Fields sits down with author and Bible teacher Yana Conner to unpack the real work behind her new book Living Beyond Offense: Doing the Hard Work of Forgiveness God’s Way. Together they explore what biblical forgiveness actually looks like, how to confront conflict with courage, and why “protecting your peace” isn’t the whole story.

They discuss:

• Why forgiveness is not forgetting—and the powerful concept of "faithfully casting" the debt to God.

• The true meaning of "turn the other cheek" and how it calls for humble confrontation, not passive acceptance.

• How to counter cultural mantras like "protect your peace" with the biblical call to be a shalom-maker.

• The difference between biblical forgiveness (releasing the debt) and reconciliation (restoring the relationship).
