We have had many memorable interviews on Cross Encounters Radio. Join us as we revisit a few of our favorites. Special Rewind episode featuring interviews with Todd Friel from Wretched Radio, Sye Ten Bruggencate from Proof That God Exists and John Barros one of the stalwarts in Gospel Abortion Ministry.  Beginning Saturday May 3rd, Cross Encounters Radio will be moving to Saturdays at 4 PM Pacific / 7 PM Eastern.   

Latifah Phillips of Page CXVI joins us to discuss the group's lastest album, "Good Friday to Easter."  Tune in to hear the music before the album releases.  Chris and Rich will also disucss Tony's recent article "Living the Evangelistic Life."  Tune in and learn to never say "I just..." when it comes to evangelism again.

Recently, the World Vision organization announced they would hire people living in same sex marriage relationships.  However, they immediately reversed that decision and issued an apology to those who support them.  Is this a genuine act of repentance?  How should Christians now deal with the organization?  We will discuss this matter.  Also, a recent pro-abortion display at the University of Michigan claims that the murder of children is actually a "life-sustaining act."  Should Christians allow their children to attend schools where such blasphemous acts are committed?  What options do we have?  These topics and a discussion on how and why should should be involved in the blogging world.

The University of Michigan is sponsoring an exhibit that promotes abortion as a "life-sustaining act." Tony and the team will talk about it........and they will try not to shout. In a span of two days, well known children's ministry World Vision went from having a biblical understanding of marriage, to endorsing same-sex marriage, to saying they believe the Bible is true. Tony and the team will talk about whether or not World Vision should have the trust of Christian people and their money. Why do Christians seem to struggle with discerning "discernment bloggers?" Some discernment bloggers are very good. Some are lost and bound for hell. And some Christians have a hard time telling them apart.  

Episode #85 He's B-a-a-ack: Tony is back on the program after a two-week preaching tour with Chris Sippley of JeremiahCry Ministries. Tony will talk about the tour, including: his time at the Shepherds' Conference; his run-ins with Jed Smock; meeting the man he thinks is the best open-air preacher he has ever seen; ministering on three major university campuses. Tony will share some audio from the tour. Raising the Dead: Tony and team will discuss the latest in the ridiculous outpourings of the spirits of the age, coming out of Bethel Church, in Redding, CA. There is actually a group that boasts of raising 11 people from the dead. They are now advertising their services. They will come to the morgue, mortuary, or gravesite to attempt to raise your recently departed from the dead. Is Libertarianism Christian?: Chris Hohnholz will lead an interesting discussion regarding Libertarianism. Many Christians are moving toward Libertarianism as their preferred political and socially philosophical construct. Is Libertarianism Christian? And Tony will be taking your calls and questions from the chat room.

Pelagian heretic and "evangelist" Jed Smock came to UCLA to proclaim his false gospel to the students.  Tony was there and openly rebuked his false teachings.  We'll discuss who Jed is, what is pelagianism, and what it means to Christians in the mission field.  Chris and Rich will also talk about growing weary while doing good.  It is far too easy, and often too common, for Christians who preach the biblical gospel to grow weary.  Many oppositions, from post-modern pagans to resistance from fellow Christians, can drive the evangelist to the breaking point.  How does one combat this spiritual fatigue?  These topics and a discussion on the "Son of God" movie currently in theaters should make for an interesting show.  Join us this week.

Cecile Richards, president of Planned Abortion-hood, believes life begins……wait for it…..at delivery.  We'll discuss why she does not believe this is relevant to the abortion issue, and why she is absolutely wrong. We'll also talk about the snake handling preacher who was killed by venomous snake. His son vows to follow in his father’s footsteps and take the helm of the church.  Why does this matter to Christians today? This and other issues, as well as your questions.

Latifah Phillips, lead singer for PAge CXVI, will join Tony to talks about the group's soon-to-be-released album, "Lent to Maundy Thursday." Hear songs from the album, here, first!

Tony and his guest, Jimmy Coates, will discuss Jimmy's recent detailed review of Kris Vallotton's book, "Fashioned to Reign." Kris Vallotton once again shows that he and Bethel Church in Redding, CA, should be avoided. False teaching abounds in Vallotton's latest literary offering.

Tony is joined by Pastors Jon Speed and Andrew Rappaport, Edwin Lo, Donna Hebert, and Ken Cook. The topic of this two-hour, roundtable discussion will be The Church of Wells. The questions Tony and his guests will try to answer: Is The Church of Wells a cult? If so, is it a theological cult, a sociological cult, or a combination of the two? Does this group have the potential to become another Branch Davidians? For more information regarding the Church of Wells, please read this important article from the Christian Apologetic & Research Ministry (CARM).  

In this episode: All the Roman Catholic Church could offer actor Philip Seymour Hoffmans was a Catholic funeral. Tony's guest, Lance Quinn, will talk about Grace Community Church's Grace Advance church planting efforts. Is there a difference between reading the Word of God for the purpose of study and reading the Word of God for the purpose of devotion? Bully propsertity "pastor" Perry Noble endorses Planned Parenthood. Scotland, the 17th country to legalize same-sex marriage. There is a very interesting provision in the law.

Tony will share his story of being arrested in Scotland, live.

Join Rich and Chris as they interview John Barros about sharing the gospel with those who understand the law most, criminals incarcerated in prisons.  Also, John will share his thoughts on abortion ministry and the recently released documentary from Crown RIghts, "Babies are Murdered Here.

Christians often find themselves walking a fine line between legalism and antinomianism, between proving they are Christians through their works and acting as though their sins shoud never be an indicator that they may not be saved.  Such a walk can result in frustration and spirtual exhaustion unless one rightly understands the gospel.  Christians never outgrow their need for the gospel.  Rich and Chris will take time to line out how Christians should rightly understand their sins, their need for the gospel and what sanctification looks like in the life of the believer.
