L to R: Joshua Ladd, Stu, & Chuck Peters

Today on Truth Talk Live dot com we go from college all the way to retirement.  Don’t worry Stu is not retiring nor is he going back to college.  But we have a visit from a couple of radical men who have some radical ideas about God’s leading in their lives.

You may recognize Chuck Peters from a show we did last year on “Retirement or Full-Time Ministry”, but our newest friend and guest on Truth Talk Live dot com is Joshua Ladd.

Joshua is going to college but not to your normal university or college like the typical high school graduate.  He is headed all the way Guam.  Find out more about this in the broadcast.

Also, Chuck Peters which we learned on his last visit whereas the “typical” person his age is taking it easy, playing golf, and sitting in the rocking chair, Chuck is taking his “retirement” to the mission field.  And find out what he’s been up to lately on the broadcast.

Today’s show we hope challenges you to “step up to the plate” and go beyond the ordinary and live a life that would be worthy of the Savior saying “Well done, thy good and faithful servant”.

(Left to Right) Miriak, Anthony, and Stu

Many of us have heard of the legend of the “Lost Boys” but on this edition of Truth Talk Live dot com we visit with a few of the “Lost Boys”.

We’ll take a journey back to the Sudan with our friends Miriak Chuor, and Anthony Anei Majok.  These gentlemen have been shot at, enslaved, and even had their family members killed just for believing in Christ.

Join Stu as we listen to their stories and be taken back by the horrors they have gone through.  And then stand in amazement to the forgiveness they give to those who have done these atrocities to their country and even their own families which can only come from Christ.

Miriak wrote a book entitled, “Rebuilding What Has Been Destroyed”, and for more details and to order his book click on the title above.

Also Anthony wrote a book entitled, “Journey of Faith”, and for more details and how to order it also click on the title above.

Stu’s guest is Bill McKeever, Director of Mormonism Research Ministry www.mrm.org , a Christian organization he founded in 1979 that is based in the Salt Lake City area. His interest in Mormonism began when his Mormon friends attempted to proselytize him into the LDS faith shortly after his conversion to Christianity in 1973 . The more he discussed spiritual issues with his LDS friends, the more concerned for them he became. Bill is the author of Answering Mormons’ Questions, co-author of Mormonism 101, and compiler for the newly released In Their Own Words: A Collection of Mormon Quotations. He is also the editor of MRM’s newsletter, Mormonism Researched, occasional contributor to MRM’s blog site, Mormon Coffee and a contributing writer to the Christian Research Journal.For our listeners in the Salt Lake City area….Check out the Compassionate Boldness click HERE for more info.

Like the lightning strike in the picture has there been a time where you feel that “Jolt” just at a moments notice?

Today on TruthTalkLive.com we talk with Phil Cooke and discuss his book “Jolt” and see how God can send that change in your life.

We start this show with some “bonus coverage” of Stu witnessing to Jew that called in on a previous show, and then we round out our show with Peter Vanacore of The National Association of Christian Mentoring.

It’s been 11 years since the Columbine High School massacre, so in retrospect how do we respond to events like these that “shake” the nation?

Today on Truthtalklive.com we speak with John Phillips who was the uncle of Rachel Scott who was killed in this tragedy.  Stu talks with John about the loss and not only how it happened but how John responded with a program in public schools called Life Choices.  The program reveals the choices the young men and women have in Christ and bring that out through this awful tragedy.  Stu also speaks with David Parsons who works young people in the triad of North Carolina and find out more about his ministry HERE.

Also we speak with Dr. Dwayne Reece of the Corporate Chaplains of America and how they are making  a difference in the workplace, and in neighborhoods across America.

So what is the speed of darkness?  In other words how fast can the light go away?

Well, today Stu visits with John Rankin founder of the Mars Hill Society and we’ll look at ways that we can spread the light of the Gospel.

Do we really understand the Gospel? What is the good news and why do so many evangelical Christians not get it?

John Piper is the Pastor for Preaching at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He grew up in Greenville, South Carolina, and studied at Wheaton College, where he first sensed God’s call to enter the ministry.

He went on to earn degrees from Fuller Theological Seminary (B.D.) and the University of Munich (D.theol.). For six years he taught Biblical Studies at Bethel College in St. Paul, Minnesota, and in 1980 accepted the call to serve as pastor at Bethlehem

John is the author of more than 30 books and more than 25 years of his preaching and teaching is available free at DesiringGod.org.

Join us once again at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention with Stu as he interviews many men and women of God.

We start out our visit with the hosts of the Back to the Bible program Woodrow Kroll and Tami Weissert.

Next we enjoy our visit with Joshua Youssef, son of Dr. Michael Youssef of the program Leading the Way.

Also in this broadcast we visit with Don Shank whose ministry is spreading the gospel around the world by supplying radios, and Twila Brace who is with The Citizens Council for Health Freedom.

So how has christian camp made a difference in your life?

On this edition of truthtalklive.com Stu takes a visit with Dean Richardson of Camp Debbie Lou. The camp provides for children ages 4 – 14 who’ve been diagnosed with cancer.

Also in our broadcast we have a visit from reporter, author, and speaker, Ken Timmerman.

Ken authored St. Peter’s Bones, a book that tells the story of Iraq’s beleaguered Christian community through the joys and fears of one family, while exploring the ambiguities of America’s continued presence in that country as deepening tensions between Kurds and Arabs that risk plunging Iraq into another civil war.

With all the turmoil going on in this world how can we pray?  How can we have that connection with God?

Stu sat down recently with author and speaker Sarah Bush to look at the different aspects of prayer by scripture and look to how you can improve your every day prayer life.

Did you get some personal face time with Stu this week? A LOT of people did and you’ll get a chance to listen in on some of those conversations. Stu is back from a trip to the west coast and while he was there he visited with Jay Flowers, Director of Communication with Grace to You, John Macarthur’s radio ministry.

He also caught up with his mentor,  Scott Ardavanis, pastor of  Placerita Baptist Church in Newhall, California.

And what would a trip to California be without a nostalgic visit to Stu’s alma mater, The Master’s College.

There, he caught up with businessman Norb Brown of Servicemaster Clean, a man who’s business and ministry are inextricably linked together.

Stu also spent some time with pastor and author Alexander Strauch.

For over forty years he has served as an elder at Littleton Bible Chapel near Denver, Colorado. Additionally, he has taught philosophy and New Testament literature at Colorado Christian University. A gifted Bible teacher and popular speaker, Mr. Strauch has helped thousands of churches worldwide through his expository writing ministry.

He is the author of Biblical Eldership, The New Testament Deacon, Men and Women: Equal Yet Different, The Hospitality Commands, Agape Leadership (with Robert L. Peterson), Meetings That Work, Leading with Love, and Love or Die: Christ’s Wake-up Call to the Church.

Closer to home Stu visits with North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Paul Newby (picture right).

And Stu also spent some time with Jimmy Renslow, a dynamic young pastor in Greensboro, NC to talk about a different way to “do church”. Renslow is pastor of the church at 5:14. And don’t worry, he’ll explain what that means.

Stu’s a man on a mission these days and today he visits with several guests on the front lines of spreading the gospel.

First stop – Utah as Stu meets with Russ East of Utah Partnership’s For Christ. Russ also serves as station manager for our Salt Lake City Truth Network Affiliate am820 KUTR.

In this edition of Truthtalklive.com we’ll hear a lesson from the world of missions, as well as some Q & A from the class, of Dr. Bill (last name concealed for security reasons)
