There are many films and documentaries about World War II and the grim reality of the Holocaust of the six million Jewish lives taken at the hands of Nazi's, and the subsequent allied victory that brought it all to an end. Or did it?  The documentary "Among Neighbors," shows the lingering effects of the cruelty of the Third Reich, when even six months after the end of the war, as Jewish survivors of the death camps returned to their homes  and villages, they found that life could never be the same with the neighbors with whom they once enjoyed a blissful co-existence.

For seventy years one woman, who witnessed the brutal killing of five Jewish neighbors, kept her silence.... until now. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast , filmmaker, writer and director Yoav Potash, talks about the making of the film, and why so little is known of these precarious days of supposed peace, which brought so little of it to so many. And how the malignancy of Hitler's hate continued to spread for years.

TED Talks are 18-minute videos of influential speakers. So, here's a question: What would Jesus say if he gave a Ted Talk? Turns out, He already did some two-thousand years ago, and it's probably one of the most, if not the most, influential and profound speeches of all time. It's called the Sermon on the Mount, found in the book of Matthew. Many people may not know its name, but they know many of the golden nuggets of Jesus's core teachings that come from it, like The Lord's Prayer, "Our Father who art in heaven..." and the Beatitudes like "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted." Lauren revisits a conversation with Dr. Robert Jeffress, Senior Pastor at First Baptist Dallas, on the philosophies and Divine guidance of the Sermon on the Mount in his book, "Eighteen Minutes with Jesus: Straight Talk from the Savior about the Things that Matter Most."

Jesus And The Sermon On The Mount

No matter what your professed faith is, it has to be lived through relationships. It's unavoidable. Faith without interaction with other image bearers will inevitably be weak. But it's in the most intimate and close relationships that we are tested and tried to our very limits. Best-selling Christian author Lysa TerKeurst bares her soul in her books, bringing to light our greatest wants and needs. She's been frank and open about her divorce from the man who just a few years ago, she renewed vows with after the union of two decades went sour. On this episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Lauren revisits her conversation with Lysa on her book, "Good Boundaries and Goodbyes: Loving Others Without Losing the Best of Who You Are." Love is complicated. It's the one lesson any spouse or parent learns, oftentimes, the hard way. But it can also bring us closer to understanding who we are, while strengthening and loving who we are meant to be.

Good Boundaries and Goodbyes w/ Lysa Terkeurst

The start of a New Year often brings a desire to renew your faith, and The Rosary in Year podcast is the perfect way to get started. It's a ten-to-fifteen-minute devotion hosted by a Franciscan monk to help people to draw closer to Jesus Christ. On this episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Lauren revisits a conversation with The Rosary In A Year podcast host, Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, who talks about the spiritual hunger in the world that's making more and more people turn away from the unsatisfying pursuits of worldly wealth and draw closer to the God who made them.

Rosary In A Year

When the white smoke billowed from the Sistine Chapel chimney Thursday evening, Fr. Roger Landry, like millions around the world, waited to see who among the 133 cardinals had just become the 267th successor to St. Peter. He knew to listen for the Latin version of the Cardinal's birth name in order to translate to a media outlet. He knew there were only four Cardinals with the first name Robert. But he was listening for "Petrus," but instead, he heard Robertus... And was shocked! This is the drama that unfolded in St. Peter's Square as tens of thousands packed into the piazza and the Via della Consilienza, cheered as the Basilica's bells peeled with joy, knowing Habemus Papem, "We have a Pope!" On this episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Lauren reflects on her journey to Rome, Italy, covering the momentous event when the first American-born pope had just been elected. Fr. Landry, the National Director of Pontifical Mission Societies USA, discusses the moment that captivated the world.

A Year Of Faith: Reflecting On The Historic Election of Pope Leo XIV

More than two thousand years ago, God broke through the barrier separating sinful humanity from a Holy God and took on human flesh in the form of a tiny baby. Christianity says all of human history had been building to that monumental event that separated time. Why did God, the creator of the universe, decide to enter our world, not as an avenging angel, but as a vulnerable and innocent baby? It's because of love. On this episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Lauren revisits a conversation with best-selling author Pastor Max Lucado to talk about the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas, says Lucado, "begins what Easter celebrates." The two highest holy days of the Christian calendar are eternally linked. While Christmas has become much more commercialized with shopping and Santa taking center stage, it hasn't changed the reality that the peace and joy we talk about on Christmas cards and ad slogans flow only from this one event, the birth of Jesus: "For God so loved the world!"

The Light Of The World

In 1996 Bishop W.C. Martin and his wife Donna Martin, from the small town of Possum Trot, Texas, adopted four children out of foster care. They inspired their entire congregation of Bennett Chappell Missionary Baptist Church to adopt every available child in the county's foster care system. Twenty-two families adopted all 77 children. Many of those children were some of the hardest to place, victims of sexual and physical abuse, neglect, trauma, and unsafe living situations. Their story inspired the movie, "Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot." 

On this encore episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Lauren revisits her conversation with the Martins to discuss the film and how God's plans and purpose for our lives is far greater than we good ever imagine. The Martins highlight the role adoption and foster care played in their lives and ministry, affirming that answering the call of Jesus to look after the orphans, the least of these, is true religion.

'Tis The Season For Joy With Pastor Tauren Wells

Today marks the beginning of the Advent season, the time leading up to Christmas and the joy of Jesus' birth. Christmas and the joy of Jesus' birth. Woven through the Bible's Old Testament are hundreds of prophecies that tell of a Messiah who will be born sometime in the future. Many of the prophecies, like those in Isaiah, were written centuries before the birth of Jesus. Cumulatively, they predict the conditions of the birth, the location of the birth, who he will be born to, what he is coming to do, and so much more. Jesus fulfills every one of those prophecies. On this episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Lauren revisits her conversation with Evangelist Anne Graham Lotz and investigative filmmaker Tim Mahoney delve into the prophecies of the Old Testament and the archeological evidence that shows that the core tenets of Christianity are grounded in the historical record.

Advent Season & The Old Testament Prophecies On The Birth OF Christ

Ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, Lauren revisits her conversation with Author and Historian, Dr. Jerry Newcombe, on the faith-steeped history of the holiday and the Pilgrims who landed in the New World. Fleeing from Europe to the New World in search of religious freedom in 1620, the Pilgrims initially intended to settle in northern Virginia, near Jamestown, where an established community already existed. But their ship was blown off course and landed instead at Plymouth, Massachusetts. And because they were in unsettled territory, the Pilgrims (before disembarking the Mayflower) created a document that became the prototype for America's Declaration of Independence and Constitution.  



Lauren and Dr. Newcombe discuss the very first Thanksgiving, as the Pilgrims sat down with the Indians to share a meal, which was always about giving thanks to an Almighty God, through whose Providence they were brought to a new land.

The Saints Creator On Faith & Legacy

Most politicians tend to write books about their accomplishments while in office. But Scott Morrison, a former Prime Minister of Australia, wanted to write about what God has done and continues to do for him. Morrison is candid about how God brought him through some of the most harrowing days of his leadership of Australia, a country not known for its religious fervor. And that's what makes Morrison's faith all the more interesting. 



On this encore episode of Lighthouse Faith, Lauren revisits her conversation with former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on his memoir "Plans For Your Good: A Prime Minister’s Testimony Of God’s Faithfulness." It's based on the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah's prescient words to the children of Israel, and to us, "' For I know the plans I have for you,' says the Lord. 'They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.'”

"Plans For Your Good": A Conversation With Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison

There's a hunger in this world for God. You may not know it; you may not feel it. But the insatiable need for a transcendent love that surpasses all understanding is at the root of all our angst and anguish. Just think about the 2024 Grammy Song of the Year, "What Was I Made For?" It may be the Billie Eilish tune for the movie Barbie, but it may as well be the soundtrack of this generation's burning question: What's the purpose of my life? Why am I here? People crave answers and direction, and the path is simple: look to God. 

On this episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast, I look back at a conversation with theologian, author, and Christian defender Dr. Alex McFarland to discuss my book "⁠Light For Today⁠: A 365 Day Devotional from the Lighthouse." I've rarely inserted myself as the subject of these podcasts, but I wanted to let listeners know that God is Love. And whatever needs we have, He can meet. It takes a daily walk with Him. Reading His word and listening to His voice. God works in the natural, everyday existence; in the simple, even in the seemingly mundane. God is with us. He is our refuge and strength.

The Light For Today

Born without arms or legs, Christian author and ministry founder Nick Vujicic knows what it means to be brokenhearted. After nearly taking his own life as a child, God’s grace transformed his pain into purpose. Now, 20 years into his global ministry, Vujicic discusses his new book Champions for the Brokenhearted, a call for the Church to recognize the suffering in its own pews and truly become a hospital for the hurting.

Nick Vujicic: God’s Plan for Being Close to the Brokenhearted

Unbeknownst at the time, a little-known Supreme Court ruling from more than seventy years ago would ignite a growing movement of teaching the Bible during school hours called Lifewise Academy. The Bible-based education program has now partnered with over 1,000 schools across 35 states nationwide. When the federal government removed Bible education and prayer from public school curriculums, the Supreme Court ruled in 1952 on a compromise: Zorach vs Clauson.  It permits public schools to release students during school hours "for religious instruction or devotional exercises."  For years, the law went unnoticed and unfulfilled as secular forces in the public square banged the drumbeat of 'Separation of Church and State." But when former college football player Joel Penton discovered it, he took it and ran with it, creating Life Wise in 2019.



On this episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Penton talks about the new documentary on Life Wise called "Off School Property" and how the program has evolved to restore faith education on school property. 



Off School Property will be released in theatres on October 23 in partnership with Fathom Entertainment.

Off School Property: How the Faithful are Winning the Battle of Separation of Church and State

They say the 'devil is in the details', and while famed author C.S. Lewis' book "Screwtape Letters" illustrates that proverbial phrase, today's version is all about the digital; that modern-day technology is seemingly paving the road towards the demonic.



It's not that social media or the digital world is morally aberrant at their core, but it's the fast-paced entrance down a rabbit hole of TikTok videos, influencers, and political punditry, giving us quicker access to all that is wrong with us. Actor Max McLean is an expert on C.S. Lewis after studying and portraying him on stage and screen. McLean's newest venture is producing the film version of The Screwtape Letters. Even though the book was written in 1942, its premise still applies today and perhaps was meant for such a time as this.

The Devil in the Digital: Screwtape Would Be Pleased!

His high school's officials crossed out the name of Jesus Christ in his valedictorian speech, but eighteen-year-old Justin Aguilar was brave enough to put it back in, standing alone in his decision to face whatever consequences may arise. Justin would not be deterred from praising his Savior. That defiance won him the attention and admiration of President Donald Trump, who invited Aguilar to tell his story alongside the Religious Liberty Commission members at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., this past September.



On this episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Justin tells the story of how he knew that this was a defining moment in his life. It is for such a time as this that real faith is strengthened, and weak faith is exposed. Justin Aguilar is part of the Charlie Kirk legacy; defying a woke culture that has cowered under the secular juggernaut of separation of Church and State, but no more!

High School Valedictorian Triumphs Over School Censorship and Wins President Trump's Admiration

In honor of theologian, educator, and best-selling author, Dr. Voddie Baucham, the Lighthouse Faith podcast is re-posting his episode of May 2021.  

Dr. Bauacham died suddenly on Thursday, September 25th, 2025, "after suffering an emergency medical incident," according to The Founders website. Baucham may not have been a household name like a Charlie Kirk or TD Jakes,  but he was quite well-known among conservative evangelicals. As a conservative African American pastor who served as Dean of Theology at African Christian University in Lusaka, Zambia, he was a bit of an enigma to many. He didn't fit the mold of a black Baptist preacher because he dared call out the sins of his own race; sins like rampant fatherlessness and out-of-wedlock births, while criticizing the embrace of Critical Race Theory. But he was also not totally touted by white Christians either, perhaps for fear of backlash or being labeled racist. But Baucham, first and foremost, was devoted to Jesus Christ. And that is how he wanted to be remembered.    

On this episode of Lighthouse Faith, Baucham talks about his then-new book,  "Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism's Looming Catastrophe".  It's a reminder of the tumult of the 2020 COVID shutdown and the rioting protests in the wake of the George Floyd murder. Baucham's was a voice that defied the prevailing political winds, but one that, like Charlie Kirk, spoke using faith and reason. Listen and see if you agree or not.

Tribute to a Brilliant Theologian: Dr. Voddie Baucham, Jr. 1969-2025

The world stood still on September 10th, when the news broke of Charlie Kirk's assassination.

At just 31 years old, Charlie helped redefine the youth conservative movement by founding Turning Point USA, a conservative, faith-based movement that captivated students on college campuses nationwide. 

On this episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Dr. Alex McFarland, of Alex McFarland Ministries, remembers his friend Charlie Kirk as a man of faith, a father, husband, and trailblazer. He was also a man who took on the hard questions in dialogue with people who, more often than not, didn't agree with him. 

Dr. McFarland reminisces on a profound conversation where Charlie said, 'There are some things worse than death. Being bought, or being fearful when we should be courageous, and just going along with the narrative when we know the world needs truth."

Charlie Kirk's Legacy: A Trailblazer In The Youth Conservative Movement

"It's amazing what God can do with our prayers."

Praying for a miracle is a complicated pursuit. After all, what constitutes a miracle? Is it a sudden healing, winning the lottery... or the parting of the Red Sea? The reality is, when you're asking for a miracle, for God to intervene and change circumstances for the better, you may not actually know what you're praying for. So says author Anthony DeStefano. 

In his new book, "The Miracle Book: A Simple Guide to Asking for the Impossible," Anthony examines the true nature of miracles. Providing insight on both the theological and worldly interpretation of the topic, by offering a word of encouragement to listeners, "at least give God a chance to surprise you."
