Can You Change Someone's Mind About Abortion? w/ Ava Calhoun
Can you actually change someone's mind about abortion? In a culture where conversations about abortion often become heated and divisive, how can Christians engage people who disagree with them? And what does Gen Z really believe about the value of human life? In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, Dr. Jeff Myers sits down with Ava Calhoun, an 18-year-old graduate of Summit Ministries' Student Conference and Gap Year program, now working with Justice for All, a pro-life organization dedicated to helping people have thoughtful conversations about abortion. Ava shares what she's learned from approaching strangers with a simple question: "When do you think life begins?" From discovering surprising attitudes among Gen Z to witnessing people change their minds about abortion, Ava explains why asking good questions, listening carefully, and treating others with genuine compassion can be more effective than winning arguments. Together, they explore how Christians can confidently engage difficult cultural issues, why meaningful conversations require both conviction and kindness, and how following Jesus should shape the way we speak with people who hold different beliefs.

Did the Bible Shape America's Founding? w/ Dr. Anthony Schmidt
Did the Bible shape America's founding? As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, questions about the Bible's influence on American history are more relevant than ever. While some argue that America was founded on biblical principles, others minimize Scripture's influence altogether. But what do the historical documents and artifacts actually reveal? In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, Dr. Jeff Myers sits down with Dr. Anthony Schmidt, Director of Collections and Curatorial at Museum of the Bible, to explore the Bible's role in America's founding and development. Drawing from the museum's Sacred Liberty exhibit, Dr. Schmidt shares fascinating stories from the American Revolution, including a firsthand account of the battles of Lexington and Concord, the surprising history of America's first English-language Bible, and Benjamin Franklin's proposal to incorporate biblical imagery into the Great Seal of the United States. Together, they examine how Scripture shaped the thinking of America's founders and everyday citizens, why religious liberty became central to the American experiment, and what we can learn from the successes and struggles of previous generations. As America reflects on 250 years of history, how can a better understanding of the Bible's influence on our past help Christians live faithfully today?

Why Your Work Is Still Worth Doing w/ David Buschart & Ryan Tafilowski
We spend a significant portion of our lives working, but what happens when our jobs don't feel meaningful? We're constantly encouraged to pursue our passions, find our calling, and do work we love. But is finding the perfect career really the key to a fulfilling life? And does our work still matter when it's ordinary, frustrating, or unfulfilling? In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, Dr. W. David Buschart and Dr. Ryan Tafilowski, authors of Worth Doing: Fallenness, Finitude, and Work in the Real World, join us to explore a biblical understanding of work and why even ordinary, imperfect work has value and purpose. Together, they discuss the cultural pressure to find fulfillment through our careers, the difference between human limitations and the effects of the fall, and how our understanding of work shapes our identity. They also explore what Scripture teaches about work from creation to new creation, whether God calls Christians to specific careers, and what Jesus' life reveals about the dignity of ordinary work. Whether you love your job, feel burned out, or wonder if your daily work really matters, this conversation will help you think biblically about your vocation, find freedom from unrealistic expectations, and approach your work with greater faithfulness and hope.

The Case for Protestant Christianity w/ Dr. Fred Sanders
Why be Protestant? As more Christians, particularly younger generations, explore Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, questions about church history, biblical authority, tradition, and salvation are becoming increasingly important. Is Protestant Christianity simply a rejection of Catholicism, or is there a positive biblical and historical case for being Protestant? In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, Dr. Fred Sanders, systematic theologian and professor at Biola University's Torrey Honors College, joins us to explore what it means to be Protestant and why the distinctions between Protestantism, Catholicism, and Eastern Orthodoxy matter. Together, they discuss whether Protestantism began with Martin Luther, the relationship between Scripture and church tradition, the meaning of sola Scriptura, and the biblical teaching of justification by grace through faith. They also consider what Protestants can learn from other Christian traditions, how to respond to criticisms of Protestant individualism and denominational division, and how Christians can navigate theological disagreements while remaining united around Jesus Christ. Whether you're a lifelong Protestant, exploring Catholicism or Orthodoxy, or simply seeking to better understand the foundations of your faith, this conversation will help you think more deeply about what you believe and why it matters.

Sexuality, Gender & God's Design w/ Hillary Morgan Ferrer
Conversations about sexuality, gender, and identity have changed dramatically in recent years. How can Christians understand the ideas driving these changes, and how can parents prepare their kids to think biblically about them? Hillary Morgan Ferrer, founder and president of Mama Bear Apologetics, joins Truth Changes Everything to unpack the worldview assumptions behind our culture's understanding of sexuality and gender. She explains why Christians must understand the ideas they're responding to, why our bodies matter, and why consent alone isn't enough to determine what is good. Hillary also explores God's design for male and female and the unique harmony between the sexes. Along the way, Hillary offers practical ways parents can help their children recognize cultural messages, think critically about gender and identity, and treat people they disagree with as individuals made in the image of God—with worth and value.

America at 250: How the Bible Shaped a Nation w/ Dr. Carlos Campo
Was America founded on biblical principles? How much did Christianity and the Bible influence the Founding Fathers, the Declaration of Independence, and the ideas that shaped the United States? As America marks its 250th anniversary, Dr. Carlos Campo, President and CEO of Museum of the Bible, joins the Truth Changes Everything podcast to explore the Bible's influence on American history, from the nation's founding to its ongoing debates about freedom, equality, human dignity, and religious liberty. Was America founded as a Christian nation? How did biblical ideas about human nature influence the development of limited government, separation of powers, and checks and balances? And what can America's complicated history—including the use of Scripture by both defenders of slavery and abolitionists—teach Christians about faithfully engaging with politics and culture today? Drawing on Museum of the Bible's Bible & America 250 initiative, Dr. Campo explores the relationship between Christianity, Scripture, and American history without idealizing the past or overlooking the Bible's influence. As we reflect on America's first 250 years, discover how Christians can bring biblical truth into the public square while remembering that our ultimate allegiance belongs to Jesus and his Kingdom.

What the Bible Teaches About America, Freedom & Responsibility w/ David Nekrutman
In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, David Nekrutman joins us to explore what America can learn from the biblical story of the wilderness about freedom, responsibility, citizenship, and national identity. David explains why liberation is only the beginning. True freedom requires moving beyond the excitement of being set free toward the responsibility and character necessary to live as a free people. Just as Israel's journey through the wilderness was about more than escaping Egypt, sustaining liberty requires individuals and nations to cultivate responsibility rather than victimhood, discipline rather than mere autonomy, and a commitment to something greater than themselves. The conversation also explores what Scripture teaches about citizenship and civic engagement. How should Christians participate faithfully in their nation while remembering that their ultimate allegiance belongs to the kingdom of God? What does biblical freedom look like? And what habits can Christians cultivate today to help build a more faithful and flourishing society tomorrow? Join us as we explore America, freedom, the biblical story of the wilderness, Christian citizenship, and why liberty cannot survive without responsibility and character.
