#517 **Warning - Mature Audiences Only!** Sex Trafficking, Abuse, and Addiction-Jennifer Beagle 1/19/26

***Warning-Mature Subject Matter*** Molested as a child by an uncle. A Drug addict by 13. Trafficked for sex as a teenager by a foster parent. Married 2x’s by age 21. Pimped out as a prostitute, including by the uncle that molested her as a child. This sounds like a story written for a Hollywood movie, but it’s a true story of a woman who wasn’t given much of a chance in life to get off the road of darkness and bondage that she was on, until an encounter in the closet hiding from her pimp changed everything. On this weeks show, Kurt and Chad welcome Her Hope Kentucky (www.herhopekentucky.org) founder Jennifer Beagle, who lived out that story, until an experience with God in her most desperate moment, changed and saved her life, forever. Not only did God save, rescue and transform her, but He put her back on the streets to help the same types of women who feel like there’s no way out until they meet THE Way, Jesus Christ. n alcoholic by 11.

Is there a right or wrong way to do it? On this week’s show Kurt and Chad welcome back Phil Morrison, founder of Hoops For Christ ( https://hoopsforchrist.org ) to talk about evangelism and whether it’s a 10 second video clip seen by millions or carrying a 10 ft cross down the street.

#513 College Professor and Author Dr Eric Schansberg on Next Steps After High School 12/22/25

“What are your plans after high school?” This is a question that thousands of young men and women hear in high school. About 66% of people who graduate high school go on to college immediately. How do they choose their college? How do they choose their Major? How did they know that it’s a good university they’re attending or if it’s the best fit for them? On this weeks show, Kurt and Chad welcome college professor and author Dr. Eric Schansberg, as he talks about his book College 101: What Students and Parents Should Know About Universities. It answers the above questions (that many people do not ask themselves) before they enroll and spend tens of thousands of dollars on a university for their child or for themselves.
