Is America worth showing up for?

On this timely episode of LoveTalk Network, Cathy Endebrock and Coach Kerri Brinkoeter sit down with Christian apologist, author, and cultural analyst Dr. Alex McFarland to talk about why voting is not just a civic privilege—it’s a spiritual responsibility for followers of Christ.

With midterm elections upon us, many believers feel discouraged, overwhelmed, or convinced their single vote doesn’t matter. Dr. McFarland challenges that mindset with clarity and urgency, explaining:

Why only a small percentage of the church typically votes—and why that must change
How to evaluate candidates through a biblical worldview instead of media narratives or personalities
Why the issue of life is foundational, and why voting for pro-abortion candidates is a serious matter for Christians
Practical questions every voter should ask before stepping into the ballot box
Why close races (sometimes decided by a handful of votes) prove your single vote and engagement truly matters

You’ll also hear a strong call to stewardship, a reminder that freedom requires tending, and practical encouragement to grab friends, research candidates, and show up.

What does it really mean to be a woman of influence in America today?
On this episode of Love Talk Network, Coach Kerri and Cathy welcome Kim Miller, Founder and President of America’s Women. Together they unpack the tension between the Proverbs 31 woman and modern cultural messages about womanhood—and why God never called women to stay small.
Kim shares her powerful personal journey to faith, how a small text group of eight women in 2020 grew into a movement of nearly 40,000, and the practical tools she’s giving women across the country:
• Why women determine elections (and the shocking voting gap between men and women)

• The “You + 2” challenge – one simple way to multiply your impact

• How to stay informed without becoming angry or overwhelmed

• SALT groups: Strategically Advancing Love & Truth

• Why midterm elections matter more than most Christians realize

• Practical next steps: newsletters, voter guides, school boards, and praying for legislators
Whether you’re distracted, discouraged, or already fully engaged, this conversation will equip you to rise up with strength and dignity—smiling at the future—exactly as Proverbs 31 describes.

What does it mean to serve when serving comes at a cost?
In this powerful episode of Love Talk Network, Kathy Inderbrock and Coach Carrie Brinkader sit down with Bishop Daniel, President of GFA World, for a raw and hope-filled conversation about the global Church — the courageous servants who bring food, water, medical care, and the love of Christ to the most vulnerable… and the dying saints who risk everything to follow Jesus.
You’ll hear:

The shocking reality of Christian persecution (1 in 7 believers worldwide face high levels of it)
Why national missionaries are so effective in unreached places
The remarkable story behind GFA World’s 300+ bed tertiary hospital rising in Kigali, Rwanda
How practical compassion (water wells, literacy, medical care, Christmas gift distributions) opens hearts to the gospel
A theology of suffering that most Western Christians have lost
Why following Jesus will always cost us something — and why that cost is worth it

Bishop Daniel also shares the free book Revolution in World Missions (over 4 million copies in print) that he says will “ruin your life” in the best possible way.

In this powerful episode of LoveTalk Network, Coach Kerri and Cathy sit down with Brian Gibson of Kairos Prison Ministry.

Brian spent eight years in a Texas prison. Halfway through his sentence, he attended a Kairos weekend — not as a volunteer, but as a participant. What he experienced there completely changed his life. For the first time, he felt God’s unconditional love in a real and personal way. The anger and isolation that had defined him were replaced with a desire to serve.

Today, Brian has been a Kairos volunteer for 15 years and now serves as the Fundraising Chair and New Starts Coordinator for the state of Texas. In this conversation he shares:

-What a Kairos weekend actually looks like
-The ministry’s powerful motto: “Listen, Listen, Love, Love”
-Incredible stories of transformation (including rival gang members and a young football player)
-How Kairos also serves the families of the incarcerated and youthful offenders
-Practical ways anyone can get involved — even if you’ve never stepped foot in a prison

You’ll also hear about the first annual Kairos of Texas Golf Tournament coming up on October 20th.

Whether you have a personal connection to incarceration or simply want to understand how God is moving behind prison walls, this episode will leave you encouraged and inspired.
