I have found more churches taking a neutral stand on the issues of our day. In this episode, I asked my guest, Chris Heeb, of Chris Heeb Ministry, if Jesus were to add another letter to the seven letters to the Churches in the Book of Revelation, what would He say to us? That’s a good question, isn’t it?  Would He say we have become compromised, non-committal, and neutral on issues we should confront?  Join us for our conversation about this relevant topic.Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed GuestsListen to the Latest Episode of Challenging the Culture with Truth Podcast!Check out the Latest CitySites Urban Media Podcast Network Episode!Check out Larry’s books!Visit the CitySites Urban Media YouTube ChannelCheck out It Is That Simple, The Simple Ideas of Profound TruthsCheck out Monday Morning Mindset with Dr. Nathan UnruhCheck out Lenny’s Corner with Dr. Lennard Stoeklen

In the day in which we live, we need to add our voice against the terrors in our day. Human trafficking, abortion, transgenderism, freedom of speech, religious freedom, and so many more trends that need a voice of descent. I realize our message is Christ, but if the Church fails to push back the darkness … the darkness will curtail the truth-telling of the Gospel. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Jay Christianson of HighBeam Ministry about the silence in the Church.Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed GuestsListen to the Latest Episode of Challenging the Culture with Truth Podcast!Check out the Latest CitySites Urban Media Podcast Network Episode!Check out Larry’s books!Visit the CitySites Urban Media YouTube ChannelCheck out It Is That Simple, The Simple Ideas of Profound TruthsCheck out Monday Morning Mindset with Dr. Nathan UnruhCheck out Lenny’s Corner with Dr. Lennard Stoeklen

Pastor Walt continues Thinking Out Loud on the Woundedness of Men. In this final episode of this series, Pastor Walt tells us that men struggle with their identity. For most men, their identity comes from what they do, what they have, and even what they drive. A man’s identity is critical for his self-esteem, his perspective on how he fits into society, and how he sees women. Why do men struggle with who they are? Compared to women, men really are simple creatures … all they want is to be fed, entertained, and loved. If men are told what to do they will usually do it, but society doesn’t tell men what to do, doesn’t tell men how to be a man. Most men feel there’s no place for them, they feel put down, they have no self-esteem, they have no confidence, they often don’t have a father in their life. The most important thing in a man’s life is their significant relationships … with God, other men, their wives, their children. Men are not taught how to be in these relationships. These relationships are central to

Pastor Walt continues Thinking Out Loud on the Woundedness of Men. Pastor Walt tells us that men struggle with insecurity. Why do men feel so insecure? It stems from their wounds, the wounds from the father, other men, women. Men struggle with criticism and rejection. They are intimated by men they see as successful, and feel that other men are better than they are. Men feel like outsiders, like they don’t fit it. Men who reflect on an unfair past hinder their future. Men thrive in victim hood, but they need to learn to use their difficulties to overcome their past. Men need to press ahead, believe in their own worth, and believe that God has made them the head of the family.Thinking Out Loud with Walt McFaddenWalt McFadden, Pastor of Cityview Church in Minneapolis, is a no-nonsense kind of guy who takes no prisoners when it comes to the Truth.

Pastor Walt continues Thinking Out Loud on the Woundedness of Men. Pastor Walt tells us that wounded men have characteristics that have developed as a result of their woundedness … they can’t have intimacy with other men, they can’t receive correction from older men, they don’t have self-esteem, they have no confidence, they are confused, they don’t know what their role in the home or society is. Pastor Walt shares that the Church can help wounded men heal from and be free of these characteristics.Thinking Out Loud with Walt McFaddenWalt McFadden, Pastor of Cityview Church in Minneapolis, is a no-nonsense kind of guy who takes no prisoners when it comes to the Truth.

Pastor Walt continues Thinking Out Loud on the Woundedness of Men. In this episode, Pastor Walt shares that women say they feel safer with other women than they do with men. Women say with other women they don’t have to worry about a man who is not caring and using his power in fits of rage. Pastor Walt says that this is a fallen world, and there is a divide and a conflict between men and women. Satan has done a good job of going after the family. God designed the family and men are to be the benevolent leader of the family. Men need to be more caring and more compassionate to the women in their lives.Thinking Out Loud with Walt McFaddenWalt McFadden, Pastor of Cityview Church in Minneapolis, is a no-nonsense kind of guy who takes no prisoners when it comes to the Truth.

Pastor Walt continues Thinking Out Loud on the Woundedness of Men. Pastor Walt asks what do women really want from men? Women say they want a men who can stand up to her, who can stand up for her, who can say no to her, a man who is authentic, who is congruent, who is secure in himself, a man who doesn’t compromise his own values, who asks for clarification, who doesn’t make assumptions, a man who can lead the relationship, who can make decisions, who has his own opinions … a man she can trust. Young men ask how they can approach a woman. Men have wounds from the father, wounds from women, wounds from a distorted view of God. Men don’t know who they are as men. The family is God’s perfect design, and Satin is destroying the family. This affects everybody … the whole structure of society. The church needs to address the breakdown of the family, and needs to address the direction men should take to protect the family.Thinking Out Loud with Walt McFaddenWalt McFadden, Pastor of Cityview Church in Minneapolis, is

Pastor Walt continues Thinking Out Loud on the Woundedness of Men. Pastor Walt tells us that God did not mess up … we, as a society mess up. This generation of men is vastly different than previous generations. 100 years ago, men needed each other, worked together, talked together, interacted with one another … not now, not in these generations. This generation is compassionate, less judgmental, and more connected to society … but they are not connected to other men. Even the Bible is generational, and churches are also generational. Some men want the connectedness that church can offer, but they don’t want Jesus. Keeping the Gospel center for men of every generation is what will bring men the connectedness they truly desire.Thinking Out Loud with Walt McFaddenWalt McFadden, Pastor of Cityview Church in Minneapolis, is a no-nonsense kind of guy who takes no prisoners when it comes to the Truth.

Pastor Walt continues Thinking Out Loud on the Woundedness of Men. Pastor Walt speaks directly to men and shares that men’s hearts are wounded. Young men haven’t learned to receive correction. The father is the one the son watches. The father is the one who teaches the son. But many fathers are missing in the family. God created the family unit and that was His plan, but when you have the head of the family missing, something is missing in the family. The son hasn’t learned how to connect with other men. The son, as the father, are isolated and don’t have close relationships. The place for sons to learn how to be close with other men is in the church. The church can help young men become the man they were meant to be.Thinking Out Loud with Walt McFaddenWalt McFadden, Pastor of Cityview Church in Minneapolis, is a no-nonsense kind of guy who takes no prisoners when it comes to the Truth.

On any Easter Sunday, I’m sure we will hear all kinds of sermons on the importance of the Resurrection. In fact, as some have said already, if there wasn’t a resurrection, there would be no Gospel. In this episode, I share some thoughts about the revolution Jesus started on Easter Morning. It is a revolution like no other, it was a revolution of God entering our world to pay for our sins on the Cross. By His death and His resurrection, He changed the dynamics of human life forever. To me, that is a revolution.Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed GuestsListen to the Latest Episode of Challenging the Culture with Truth Podcast!Check out the Latest CitySites Urban Media Podcast Network Episode!Check out Larry’s books!Visit the CitySites Urban Media YouTube ChannelCheck out It Is That Simple, The Simple Ideas of Profound TruthsCheck out Monday Morning Mindset with Dr. Nathan UnruhCheck out Lenny’s Corner with Dr. Lennard Stoeklen

Idolatry is rarely talked about today … especially when it concerns making good things into idols. I know this might seem odd to you, but God says, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Now, He didn’t define idols as good or bad, He just said nothing should come before Me. I think we understand what idols are when they are a bad influence, but when good things become idols, that’s more troubling to us. Dr. Jay Christianson of HighBeam Ministry, and I talk about the how good things in our lives can become idols of worship.Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed GuestsListen to the Latest Episode of Challenging the Culture with Truth Podcast!Check out the Latest CitySites Urban Media Podcast Network Episode!Check out Larry’s books!Visit the CitySites Urban Media YouTube ChannelCheck out It Is That Simple, The Simple Ideas of Profound TruthsCheck out Monday Morning Mindset with Dr. Nathan UnruhCheck out Lenny’s Corner with Dr. Lennard Stoeklen

In this episode, Dr. Lenny and Larry Kutzler discuss where is your trust? As humans, we are prone to trusting in ourselves, and self-assurance is how we are encouraged throughout our lives. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)Lenny’s Corner with Dr. Lennard StoeklenIn your corner of the world, there are many voices all trying to gain your attention.

The Supreme Court overturned Roe vs Wade in June of 2022, and since then, some States have scrambled to reinstate abortion rights in their jurisdiction. Thank God for those States who said no to abortion. But, in the State of Minnesota, they not only approved abortion rights for Minnesotan’s, but also became a sanctuary abortion State for people living in those States who have banned the procedure. In this episode, I talk with Brian Walker of Pro-Action Ministries about the Practice of Abortion since the Supreme Court made their ruling.Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed GuestsListen to the Latest Episode of Challenging the Culture with Truth Podcast!Check out the Latest CitySites Urban Media Podcast Network Episode!Check out Larry’s books!Visit the CitySites Urban Media YouTube ChannelCheck out It Is That Simple, The Simple Ideas of Profound TruthsCheck out Monday Morning Mindset with Dr. Nathan UnruhCheck out Lenny’s Corner with Dr. Lennard Stoeklen

I am convinced that churches follow the pastor’s lead. So, if the pastor is silent on issues they should be speaking on, the church will be silent too. It is important we encourage pastors to be proactive in ministering the Word of God on issues facing us today.  I speak with a pastor about issues he sees in the church that need to be addressed. Pastor Jason Erickson leads Risen Church in Brainerd, Minnesota, and he has identified three areas he is concerned about in today’s church … apathy, spiritual growth, and holiness. We unpack these in this episode. Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed GuestsListen to the Latest Episode of Challenging the Culture with Truth Podcast!Check out the Latest CitySites Urban Media Podcast Network Episode!Check out Larry’s books!Visit the CitySites Urban Media YouTube ChannelCheck out It Is That Simple, The Simple Ideas of Profound TruthsCheck out Monday Morning Mindset with Dr. Nathan UnruhCheck out Lenny’s Corner with Dr. Lennard Stoeklen

In this episode, Dr. Lenny and Larry Kutzler discuss topics that are relevant to the Christian life. Talking about these topics become part of our life, while we mediate on the Word of God. Being the man or woman God calls us to be doesn’t mean we are always politically correct. The Bible gives us instructions as to how to live our life, and we need to refocus our mind to Godly thinking. We can never be perfect, but God only asks that we try, and not to settle for less than a Godly life.Lenny’s Corner with Dr. Lennard StoeklenIn your corner of the world, there are many voices all trying to gain your attention.

In this episode, I talk with Shawn Morrison about how easy it is to be diverted in our thinking. Do we pursue the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ? Or do we go down rabbit trails?

Hell is a topic that is not too popular in today’s Church. Yet, Jesus talked about Hell more than any other person in the Scriptures.

What is Gnosticism? Pastor Walt tells us that it is the belief that the flesh is evil and the spirit is good. So, why talk about a subject like Gnosticism in the church? It is really relevant to our lives? The Writers of the New Testament addressed the subject of Gnosticism and the problems and extremes that came out of it.

I have spent most of my life hanging around Pastors and Executive Directors, and I realized I have never met a real evangelist. Of course, we all know the most famous evangelist of our time, Billy Graham, but I wanted to find someone who is operating in that office of Evangelist so I could interview them.  I didn’t have to look to hard … I found one in my own Church.  Dean Gooseen left a successful construction company to answer the call of evangelism, full time.

In the Bible, watchmen were men who would stand on a wall surrounding the city and sound an alarm when an enemy was coming to attack the city. It was his responsibility to warn the people of impending danger. Today, we don’t have people standing on a wall to warm us, but we do have people who stand on the Word of God to sound an alarm of what God has said about our world. The dangers are everywhere, and unfortunately, there are few watchmen in our Churches.  Today has become a day of platitudes and messages that coach us along for a better life with God, but where are the watchmen?Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed GuestsListen to the Latest Episode of Challenging the Culture with Truth Podcast!Check out the Latest CitySites Urban Media Podcast Network Episode!Check out Larry’s books!Visit the CitySites Urban Media YouTube ChannelCheck out It Is That Simple, The Simple Ideas of Profound TruthsCheck out Monday Morning Mindset with Dr. Nathan UnruhCheck out Lenny’s Corner with Dr
