Can you explain why you believe what you believe? In this episode, Bucky sits down with Dr. David Closson, Director of the Center for Biblical Worldview, to discuss why so few Americans consistently think and live from a biblical worldview. Together they explore how worldviews shape everything from moral decisions to public policy, why many churches avoid addressing cultural issues, and how believers can move beyond sound bites to think biblically. You'll also discover how the upcoming Worldview Workshop at North Hall Church can equip you with practical tools, biblical confidence, and resources to defend your faith and stand firm in an increasingly confused culture.

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, how should we pray for our nation? Throughout our history, leaders have called the people to seek God through prayer, fasting, and thanksgiving. In this message, Bucky examines Psalm 85 as a timely prayer for America. This sermon explores America’s founding as a nation shaped by Christian faith and the signs that reveal our nation’s movement away from God. More than looking to politics, power, or prosperity, this message reminds us that America’s greatest need has always been—and will always be—the transforming presence of God.

What kind of legacy are you building in your home? As Joshua’s life draws to a close, he issues a challenge to God’s people: choose whom you will serve.

What keeps a person trusting God after decades of waiting? In Joshua 14, Caleb stands as a powerful example of wholehearted devotion to God.
