The Campus Battleground: Reclaiming the Universities for Our Kids!

On the road in Nashville at NRB, host Hannah sits down with Dr. Corey Miller—once a seventh-generation Mormon, now a Christian apologist—whose personal journey from doubt to doctoral halls becomes a lens on a larger crisis: America’s universities are reshaping culture. His vivid stories and hard-won experience uncover how ideas move from seminar rooms into our homes, churches, and government.
Follow their fast-moving conversation through history and courtroom battles, from German intellectual roots to the Frankfurt School and today’s campus ideologies, and feel the urgency of a parental call to arms. Dr. Miller offers practical resources, a strategic vision, and a challenge: prepare your children’s minds, engage the academy, and help launch a long-term revival of the life of the mind.

Legacy, Debate, & America 250 Contest with Guest Jenny Nohelty

On the first morning of the National Religious Broadcasters conference in Nashville, Hannah sits down with Jenny Nohelty and sparks a conversation that moves from dinner-table legacy to the frontlines of culture. Between coffee and conference halls, they unpack how parents can leave more than assets—how thoughtful estate planning can become a last loving witness to faith, and how teaching children to give, debate, and think for themselves becomes the great inheritance.
Jenny shares hard truths about bullying, screen-time influence, and the lost art of civil debate, and tells stories of young writers entering the America 250 essay contest—students crafting perspectives that earn publication and a trip to Washington, D.C. This episode weaves practical tools with personal anecdotes, revealing small rhythms and bold strategies that help parents reclaim discipleship in a noisy world.
Tune in to be encouraged, challenged, and equipped: you’ll leave with ideas to start conversations at home, a renewed view of legacy, and the courage to raise children who can stand and speak the truth.

From Theatre to Politics: Christy Stutzman's Story to Reclaim Culture

Step into a conversation that travels from a small-town stage to the corridors of power. Christy Stutzman tells a story of unexpected doors—an operatic childhood, a 9/11 wake-up call, a razor-thin election victory, and life inside Congress—that becomes a call to arms for anyone who cares about the soul of a nation.
When a trip to Israel and a reading of Matthew 5 stirs conviction, she pivots from preserving a beloved historic theater to writing musicals that offer a different cultural pipeline. Along the way she reveals how art, faith, and civic duty intersect, and why the stories we tell today shape the leaders of tomorrow.
Hear the origin of Washington’s Ring of Spies—a revolutionary tale of secret sacrifice and quiet heroism—and discover how storytelling can reclaim truth, cultivate courage, and hand a better inheritance to your children.
This episode is for parents, creatives, and those who believe our kids are being discipled by something—so let it be us. Tune in for practical encouragement on defending culture, training artists of excellence, and raising “kingdom arrows” for the next generation.

Rooted in scripture and seasoned with personal confession, this episode unfolds like a letter to every tired mom: plant, water, and trust God for the growth. Hannah weaves practical encouragement, hard-earned wisdom, and promises from Zechariah, Corinthians, and Galatians into a narrative that will help you breathe, release perfection, and see your ministry at home as true kingdom work.
Tune in for comforting truths, a reminder that you are seen by God even when the world doesn’t notice, and an invitation to keep showing up — because the harvest is coming.

Life After Life: Parenting, Persecution, and the Hope of Heaven

Join Hannah in the Treehouse as she sits down with Pastor Philip De Courcy—born in Belfast, called by God—to unpack a life shaped by prayer, danger, and a surer hope than this world can offer. Through stirring personal stories and pastoral clarity, Philip traces the thread from his own conversion and policing days to the urgent comfort of the gospel.
Drawing from his new book, Life After Life, this episode reframes heaven not as a distant escape but as an everyday orientation that fuels courage, endurance, and wise parenting. They tackle hard questions about eternity, the resurrection, the judgment seat of Christ, and practical ways to shepherd children in a culture that suppresses truth.
Whether you’re grieving, parenting a curious child, or simply wrestling with what comes next, this conversation will steady your heart: the hope is real, heaven informs how we live now, and the promise of a renewed world changes everything.
BIOGRAPHY:
Philip De Courcy 
Watch Know the Truth Here!: https://ktt.org/
Life after Life - Purchase Here!: https://ktt.org/books/life-after-life 
The word heaven is used more than 500 times and appears in nearly every book of the Bible. Most people believe there is an afterlife, even if they don’t fully know what it is. With three-quarters of Americans saying they believe in heaven, most act out their daily lives as if it didn’t matter. De Courcy says, “The world is not our home; our hearts lie elsewhere.” He encourages us to focus on life after this life, recognizing this is simply a waypoint.”

(PARENTAL ADVISORY!) She left Islam for Jesus: Warning American Ignorance

Episode Recap
(PARENTAL ADVISORY due to intense topics on war, rape, talks of suicide etc)...Listen as Dr. Işık Abla takes you from the battlefield of her childhood to the quiet of a Christian boss’s office where a single moment changed everything. She shares raw memory—violence, abuse, and the distorted identity whispered to her as a girl—and the desperate, dangerous choice she once embraced to make sense of it all.
This episode is a call to wake up and act: a gripping testimony, a warning about ideological infiltration, and a powerful reminder for parents to steward their children well. Tune in for a moving, faith-filled story that will challenge, convict, and inspire you to protect the next generation.
BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Işık Abla is a well-known international speaker whose programs are broadcast in multiple languages across six continents, impacting over 700 million people in more than 200 countries, tribes, and people groups. Born in Istanbul, Turkey, Dr. Abla was raised in a devout Muslim home. She fled Turkey in the late 1990s to escape a childhood marked by oppression and abuse. After she arrived in America, Abla had an encounter with Jesus that changed her life. As a Muslim-background believer, she carries a rare and sacred calling. She speaks the language, knows the culture, and ministers as one who has been redeemed, anointed, and sent.
Through her new book, Heavenly Whispers, Dr. Abla wants to reach those who, like her, need a real-life encounter with Jesus. “My prayer is that every page will feel like the Spirit meeting you where no sermon or crowd ever could. That each whisper will restore what was broken and ignite flame where only ashes remained." You can find more information about Dr. Işik Abla and Işik Abla Ministries here.
