LoveTalk Network

Today's program with Co-hosts Kerri Brinkoeter, Cathy Endebrock, and Marlene McMichael focuses on the importance of biblical literacy—what it is, why it matters, and practical resources to help us grow in it. Bible study is more than just reading words on a page. It is about understanding what the author intended to convey with his written words and how those words can equip hearts to know, trust, and obey God. Joining the program is special guest Angela Tiland from Worldview Academy.

Today's message on LoveTalk Network emphasizes the necessity and trustworthiness of Scripture by highlighting Job’s declaration that the words of God’s mouth were more precious than food and Billy Graham’s insistence that spiritual growth is impossible without the Bible. The program also looks at the Apostle Paul’s teaching in 2 Timothy that Scripture is God-breathed and equips believers for every good work. Join Marlene McMichael, Cathy Endebrock, and Kerri Endebrock for this life-changing program.

As we move into 2026, Co-hosts Cathy Endebrock and Marlene McMichael reflect upon the year 2025, which was marked by both profound loss and powerful movement -- both positive and negative. The impact upon Christians is a heighten awareness of the reality of spiritual warfare and the necessity for Christians not only to pray but also to live out righteous, God-directed lives. Christians must understand that God does not promise a perfect life. Instead, He promises a perfected faith. True victory, peace, and strength come through knowing, studying, and living God’s Word, which equips us to stand against evil, walk in God’s direction, and freely give to others what we have received through Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.

LoveTalk Network's fourth and final installment of the 2025 Christmas series brings together Mary’s surrender, Joseph’s courageous obedience, the shepherds’ witness, and the Magi’s devoted search to find the Baby Jesus and honor Him with gifts. God spoke through angels and dreams, but always affirmed His will through prophecy, making it clear that Jesus’ birth was part of a divine, ancient plan. From humble shepherds to foreign Wise Men, God ensured that people of every status, background, and nation were invited to seek and worship the newborn King. The Magi’s journey, gifts, and obedience—along with God’s provision for Joseph, Mary, and Jesus through those gifts—demonstrate that while God’s instructions may be difficult or frightening, He always provides a way.

The Christmas story highlights how God works through humble, ordinary people, and the shepherds embody this truth as unsung heroes of the nativity: though marginalized and overlooked, they were the first to receive the angelic announcement of Jesus’ birth, showing that God’s revelation is accessible to the lowly rather than reserved for the powerful or learned. Their response models the journey of faith—moving from fear to action as they hurried to Bethlehem. Join co-hosts, Kerri Brinkoeter, Cathy Endebrock, and Marlene McMichael as they discuss the Shepherd's story in the third installment in the 2025 Christmas series.
