"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.

"Commander's Intent: Finding God's Will in Every Situation"
Host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) draws on a term from his Marine Corps days for this episode: commander's intent. Every mission statement has two parts — what you're supposed to do and why. That “why” is always part of the order, but Colonel Mendelow points to what it does for you when things don't go as planned — it's what guides you, especially when the plan falls apart. In this episode, Colonel Mendelow and his wingman Christy Mendelow bring that same idea into daily life. A flat tire on the freeway. A coworker crying in the break room. Colonel Mendelow names God's commander's intent directly from Scripture — that He would be glorified, that we would love the Lord and love our neighbor as ourselves, and that none shall be lost. From there, the choice got simple: what is the loving thing to do here. Colonel Mendelow tells a story from his own driveway that put this to the test — a costly mistake, a stressed-out contractor, and a decision that had nothing to do with what he was owed. Listen now and hear what he chose. Listen at CourageousChristianity.today or on select podcast platforms.

"Seen and Known: The Heart of Prayer"
To speak to a general, Colonel Richard Mendelow needed an appointment. A respectful knock. Permission to enter. Because of Christ, we come into God's presence freely — not because we've earned it, but because His work on the cross has already opened the door. In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow talk about prayer — not as a last resort when everything else has failed, not as a vending machine for requests, but as moment-by-moment intimacy with a loving Father who already knows our hearts. Living in that intimacy means being willing to be seen. Vulnerable. Honest about our failures instead of pretending we have it together. Richard and Christy share a story that still convicts them — an encounter with a stranger in need where they offered money but missed the chance to offer prayer. Missed opportunities like that don't have to end in regret. They can prepare us not to miss the next one. Find out what it looks like to walk in prayer with God.

"Threats to Christianity, Series Finale: It All Comes Back to Us"
You've been told the enemy is out there. Turns out there's one we haven't named. Over the last few weeks, Richard and Christy have talked about the external threats to our faith on “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow” — comfort, opinions that don't line up with Scripture, what the world is doing to our kids. In the series finale, they bring it full circle: it all ultimately comes back to us. Every one of those threats wins with our passivity, not knowing our Bibles, our pride, not living out what we say we believe, our desire to fit in, or our fear of standing firm. Paul told Timothy to wage a fine campaign, maintaining faith and good conscience all the time — and that's the charge for all of us. Find out why your response is the one thing you can control.

"Threats to Christianity, Part 3: The Quiet Danger of Comfort"
The Marine Corps has a saying: the more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed in wartime. It applies just as much to faith as it does to combat. In this episode of “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow,” host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow continued the Threats to Christianity series with guest Jeff Egli—airline captain, rancher, and a man who understands the connection between hard work, struggle, and character. Together they took on a threat that doesn’t announce itself the way persecution or opinion does. It’s quieter than that. It’s comfort. Life is good. Church is an hour on Sunday. There are donuts, there’s coffee, and it’s easy to mistake that rhythm for the fullness of what faith is supposed to be. But Scripture is clear: our faith is either living and growing, or it’s dying. There is no still water. Like gold refined in fire, our faith is proven pure through struggle, not the absence of it. Romans 5 says suffering produces perseverance, perseverance produces character, and character produces hope—not comfort. Find out why comfort might be one of the most dangerous places a Christian can sit still. Available now at CourageousChristianity.today and wherever you get your podcasts.

"Threats to Christianity, Part 2: The Danger of Opinions"
Fools find no pleasure in understanding, but delight in airing their opinions. Proverbs 18:2 said it 2,000 years ago. Social media continues to prove it. In Part 2 of the Threats to Christianity series, host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow address a threat that is not coming from the outside. It is coming from within—what Christians are doing to Christianity themselves. Opinions. Everyone has them. Christians share them freely—about the WNBA, about politics, about the Bible—often without having read it. And in doing so, the testimony of Christ is damaged, the uniform of Christ is dishonored, and the enemy scores a victory without firing a single shot. The military has a term for it: "combat ineffective." A unit that can no longer fight. That can no longer do its job. The devil does not need to silence Christians. He just needs to get them talking—loudly, wrongly, and without Scripture. Make sure your words are not working against the very faith you claim to represent.
