We’re told to look at the heart, not the outward appearance, but how do we actually do that in a world obsessed with first impressions? The answer might be found in a forgotten argument over Captain Picard’s hair. This teaching explores how a decision made on the set of Star Trek: The Next Generation perfectly illustrates the Christian call to value character over appearance, embrace authenticity, and engage with others without compromising truth. Learn how to challenge the norms of our world by adopting the values of God’s Kingdom.

It’s one of the biggest debates in modern Christianity: Will the church be raptured before, during, or after the Tribulation? While many argue endlessly, we cut through the noise with some surprisingly practical and humorous advice. In this teaching, we break down the seven-year period, revealing why the first half is survivable and the second half is something you desperately want to avoid. Learn why fighting over the timeline misses the point, and grasp the essential truth that will keep you grounded, no matter when these events unfold.

What happens when a seasoned interviewer gets so moved by a guest’s story that he breaks down on camera? In Part 2 of our powerful conversation with Jay Heilman of “Kingdom Builders,” we go behind the scenes of the Christian entertainment world.
Jay shares a jaw-dropping story of humility from worship leader Chris Tomlin that he forgot to record, recounts the one interview that became intensely personal and brought him to tears, and reveals his emotional, once-in-a-lifetime encounter with the legendary Chuck Norris shortly before his passing. This is a raw, unfiltered look at what happens when faith, fame, and real-life struggles collide.
