The Radicalization of Young Women

Guest: David Mitzenmacher

UPCOMING PROGRAM: October 17, 2026

UPCOMING PROGRAM: OCTOBER 17, 2026

GUEST: DR. ERNIE BAKER, author, Marry Wisely, Marry Well

This is Father’s Day Weekend and perhaps nothing has been more assaulted in our society than God’s design for a godly father shepherding his wife and children. God’s model is the only one that leads to harmony in marriage and the home and the raising of a next generation who loves and fears God.

How has God’s design for fathers been undermined and resisted? In many ways:

– Fatherly authority in the home is slandered as misogynistic and toxic.

– Culture, peers, education, social media, and entertainment endlessly promote sexual immorality, gender confusion, and “self-actualization” (i.e. live for self, not for God and others).

– Even evangelical churches, including schools and camps, delay the transition from boyhood to manhood through emphasizing amusement over maturity.

It’s no wonder boys grow up drifting, without God’s vision for life, marriage, and fatherhood, lacking work ethic, distracted by video games and entertainment, and thus unprepared and even uninformed about God’s design for their lives.

This is part of the reason we held The Overcomer Course the past two years—to help young adults understand and pursue God’s call on the most important issues of life. We aren’t holding the two-day Course this year due to managing workload but we wanted to devote a program to the importance of “Preparing Boys for Marriage and Fatherhood.”

Helping us do that is our guest, Dr. Ernie Baker. Ernie is the Chair of the Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling at The Master’s University and the author of several books, including one we will discuss, Marry Wisely, Marry Well. Ernie is also the featured speaker at the upcoming “Wisdom, Romance & the Single Years Conference” on Aug. 21-22 at Anchor Bible Church in Plymouth, MN which is designed for those in their 20s and late teens. Preview and register for the conference here.

Also, in the final segment, we’ll hear from my late father back in 2019 when he spoke some words of exhortation to his children and grandchildren.

Wisdom, Romance & the Single Years Conference

WHEN: Saturday, August 22, 9AM – 4PM

WHERE: Anchor Bible Church – 3695 County Road 101 N, Plymouth, 55446

AGES: High school through 20s

Preparing for marriage isn’t really about finding the right person; it is more importantly about becoming the right person. Our culture often tells young people to make a list of the qualities they want in a spouse, but far too often it overlooks the deeper question: what kind of spouse do I want to be? Do I need to be?

Printer-friendly transcript GUEST: ALEX NEWMAN, Journalist and CEO, Liberty Sentinel Media The final book of God’s Word—Revelation—clearly describes that the world in the future before Christ’s return will be largely globalized and led by a leader called the antichrist or beast.

Printer-friendly transcript GUEST: COLLEEN TRONSON, Executive Director, Metro Women’s Center Advances in medical technology over the decades have saved countless lives whether through new types of surgeries, imaging, therapies, medications, etc. Of course it hasn’t all been positive—consider the harm caused by certain medications, including the Covid so-called “vaccine”.

TOPIC: Empty Deceptions Vying for Post-Christian Minds

Printer-friendly transcript GUEST: DARRELL HARRISON, pastoral staff, Redeemer Bible Church, Gilbert, AZ There are only two foundations for thinking and living: the perfect Word of God or the flawed word of man.
