"Not the Last Resort: Why Christian Warriors Pray First"
"Well, all that's left to do is pray." How many times have you said it? How many times have you waited until everything else failed? In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow make the case that prayer isn't the last resort. It's your first line of defense. When Paul warned Timothy about the threats facing the early church, the very next thing he called for was prayer. Why? Because no warrior wins this fight in his own strength. So, what does real prayer look like? Richard and Christy say it's not a vending machine and not special church language. It's honest, all-day communion with a loving Father who already knows your struggles, your doubts, and your failures. And it's not just for you. When was the last time you stopped and prayed with someone in need? Christy shares the moment they didn't and why it still weighs on them. Are you going into battle with prayer or saving it for when the battle is lost? Listen now and make prayer your first move. Available now at CourageousChristianity.today/listen and on KKHT.com, iHeart Radio, or on select podcast platforms. You’ll walk into the voting booth with clarity, conviction, and confidence that your faith belongs there.

"Your Vote: For God’s Truth or Against It?"
Evil isn’t hiding anymore. It’s out in the open, in our classrooms, our culture, and our public square. And it’s counting on Christians to stay silent. Will you stay silent? Courage has never meant the absence of opposition. Courage is standing firm in the truth of God when the world pushes back the hardest. It’s what Dietrich Bonhoeffer did while much of the church in Germany stayed silent. And it’s what God asks of every Christian man today. In this episode of “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow,” Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman, Christy Mendelow, take on the clash between good and evil playing out across this nation and what it asks of those who follow Christ as we head to the polls on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. What you stand for matters. What you stand against matters. Both tell the world whom you serve. Is your faith with you everywhere you go, or only in the places where it’s comfortable? Christians are not victims. We are victors, redeemed by Christ and walking in the power of the Holy Spirit. We don’t have to fear evil, because God is with us. Joshua 24:15 calls each of us to choose this day whom we will serve. “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Will you? On November 3, 2026, your vote will stand for the truth of God or against it. If you don’t vote, you hand the future of your family and this nation to someone else. Vote, and let Scripture guide every choice on your ballot. Available now at CourageousChristianity.today/listen and on KKHT.com, iHeart Radio, or on select podcast platforms. You’ll walk into the voting booth with clarity, conviction, and confidence that your faith belongs there. Listen Listen before you vote, then share it with someone who needs to hear it.

"The Battle for the Classroom: Why This Election Matters to Every Christian"
Fifteen people on the Texas State Board of Education are the gatekeepers for what 5.5 million Texas schoolchildren learn. Do you know who they are? Kason Huddleston, running for one of those seats in District 9, joins Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow in this episode of “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow.” Kason has been at every State Board of Education meeting for the last year. What’s being argued over in those meetings will surprise you, from the Alamo to 9/11. And getting the Bible into Texas classrooms? That came down to one vote. With the 2026 midterms days away and early voting underway, every Christian parent and grandparent needs to hear this before heading to the polls. As Kason puts it, “If we don’t teach our children the truth, somebody else will teach them a lie.” Do you know what your children and grandchildren are being taught? And Colonel Mendelow makes the case that no Christian can afford to sit out this election. Will you? Listen now, before you cast your vote.

"The Legacy Your Vote Leaves Behind"
When you vote this November, whose future are you voting for? Yours, or your children’s? Too many of us vote with gas prices and retirement accounts in mind. But our kids will live with what we decide long after those numbers change. And right now, they’re struggling. Nearly 40% of high school students say they feel sad or hopeless most of the time. Who’s been shaping their world? Social media. Classrooms that push an agenda. Politicians who don’t share our values. Too often, we’ve let them. In this episode of “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow,” host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow talk about the legacy every Christian leaves behind. It’s more than money. It’s faith. It’s character. It’s the world your children will inherit. As a Marine officer, Colonel Mendelow pushed his Marines hard because he cared enough to get them ready for combat. Are you getting your kids ready for the world they’ll face? And are you using your vote to make that world better? Many Christians vote for president, then skip the names they don’t know at the bottom of the ballot. School board. Judges. County commissioners. Some races are won by a few hundred votes, and they decide what your kids learn. Who’s filling those seats while you skip them? Not voting is still a vote. What will yours say about the future you want for your kids? “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 Listen now, then go vote like your children’s future depends on it. It does. Available now at CourageousChristianity.today, on KKHT.com, iHeart Radio, or on select podcast platforms.

"Fight the Good Fight: Why Christians Can’t Sit Out This Election"
Staying home on Election Day is not neutral. It’s still a choice. You just let someone else make it for you. Here’s the math. George Barna estimates that for every 100 voting-age Christians in 2024, 56 voted. 44 did not. What would change in this country if those 44 showed up? Too messy. Too political. Not the church’s business. Which excuse have you heard? Which one have you used? Host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) has a name for all of them: a dereliction of duty. He and his wingman Christy Mendelow take those excuses on as they talk about this November’s election in this episode of “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow.” You don’t stop being a Christian at work, at your kids’ school, or on Election Day. So will your faith shape this nation, or will this nation shape your faith? Scripture says to fight the good fight of the faith. If not you, then who? If not now, when? Listen now.

"Faith or Sophistry: What Really Shapes Your Vote?"
It sounds reasonable. It’s clever, polished, and easy to agree with. And it’s false. There’s a word for that: sophistry. This election season, it’s everywhere. So how do you tell the difference between what sounds right and what is right? In this episode of “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow,” host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret), his wingman Christy Mendelow, and guest Jeff Egli show you how to test everything you hear against the one source that never changes: the Word of God. This isn’t Republican versus Democrat. It’s the thinking of men versus the thinking of God. Which one is shaping the way you see this election? The thinking of men shifts with every election cycle. The Word of God never does. Politics is downstream of culture. Culture is downstream of faith. Get your faith right, and everything else comes into focus, including your vote. Test what you’re hearing this election season against the Word of God. This conversation will show you how.

"Before You Vote: The Truth About the Separation of Church and State"
Five words. Lifted from a letter. Turned into a wall between your faith and your vote. Most Christians can repeat the phrase “separation of church and state.” How many know where it came from? It isn’t in the Declaration of Independence. It isn’t in the Constitution. It isn’t in the Bill of Rights. It comes from an 1802 letter Thomas Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptists, assuring them the government would stay out of their faith. For almost 150 years, courts quoted his full paragraph. Then in 1947, in Everson v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court pulled five words out of that letter and built a new idea on them with no legal precedent behind it. By 1962, prayer was out of public schools. By 1963, the Bible followed. So, who convinced you that your faith and biblical values belong at church but not at the ballot box? In this episode of “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow,” host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow lay out what the founders actually intended and why it matters when you cast your vote. George Washington warned in 1796 that religion and morality are indispensable supports of a prosperous nation. Psalm 127:1 says unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Election season is here. When you step into that voting booth, will you carry God’s Word in with you or leave it at the door? Available now at CourageousChristianity.today, on KKHT.com, iHeart Radio, or on select podcast platforms. Then open your Bible to know what God says. Read the Constitution to know what the founders actually wrote. And carry your faith and biblical values all the way to the polls.

"On the Double: Why Taking It Straight to God Matters"
Every conversation is going somewhere. The question is: Who is directing it? When God and His Word enter the conversation late, fear, frustration and opinion have already had time to take command. How far has the conversation already traveled without God? In this episode of “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow,” Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow examine what happens when we allow conversations, struggles and decisions to travel too far without God. Are you wrestling forward with the Lord or struggling in circles? Are you focused on what God has placed before you or overwhelmed by battles far beyond your reach? And when the pressure rises, whose voice determines your response? Press play now and hear how taking your conversations, struggles and decisions straight to God can change their direction—and reduce the collateral damage along the way.
