Dr. Rosalind Tompkins comes on the show to address her new book on the Biblical concept of hope.She is the founder and president of Mothers in Crisis Inc., a 501(c)(3) ministry-focused nonprofit that supports families and communities through Christ-centered encouragement, empowerment, and practical help. Her work in addiction recovery and community restoration has touched lives for decades, pointing countless individuals back to God’s love and healing power.Her story is a testimony in itself. After overcoming addiction at the young age of 13, trauma, and deep personal loss, Dr. Tompkins experienced firsthand what God can do with a surrendered life. Her journey is living proof that no one is beyond God’s reach—and that hope, anchored in faith, changes everything.Her newest book, God’s Way: A Lifelong Journey to Everlasting Peace and Joy, offers a biblically rooted, deeply personal roadmap for walking with God, trusting Him in every season, and experiencing peace that goes beyond understanding.RSM Blog = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2026/03/19/dr-rosalind-tompkins-testimony-of-gods-restoration-a-case-for-biblical-hope/

A lot of fundy lay Atheists and skeptics online have felt threatened by Tavo San Abri's journey from a devout Atheist to a sympathetic Jesus-respecter, who sees a lot of value and merit in the Christian cause. Desperate to disbelieve no matter what, they dismiss Tavo's powerful empirical and statistical findings supporting the truth of Christianity, such skeptics simply deny that Tavo ever really was one of their own.Well in this episode, the tables have turned, and we once again put Tavo in the skeptic's seat to grill Bible-believing Christian Phil Bair on some of the issues that prevent him from committing entirely to Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour. Here's praying that Tavo the skeptic emerges as Tavo the fully committed Christian after today's "Grill-a-Christian" Podcast :)RSM Blog = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2026/03/07/shows-with-david-johnson-phil-bair-and-tavo-san-abri-in-march/

I have special guest, Stephen Paul Edwards, o nthe show to speak about his newest book "The Venus Fly Trap: Sex, Lies, and Repercussions" which provides a brutally honest synopsis of his life's journey as a non-religious Spiritualist. I really enjoyed Stephen's openness to not only come on my channel and discuss his views, but also to allow me to provide him with my own Biblical Christian view as well. We definitely don't see eye to eye on every issue, but this was a great example of how Christians and non-Christians can come together to discuss their similarities and differences in an open, honest and respectful manner. Apparently, it still can be done even today!My hope is to continue having great discussions with Stephen in the future :)RSM Blog = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2026/03/13/stephen-paul-edwards-the-venus-fly-trap-sex-lies-and-repercussions/
Amazon.com link to his new book = https://www.amazon.com/Venus-Fly-Trap...Note: Be aware that Stephen himself did provide a respectful warning to Christians, that his book contains some potentially offensive erotic type material in recounting his real life story. So make sure to do your own due diligence when deciding if you'd like to buy this book or not.

My friend and mentor, Dr. Tony Costa, is an expert who teaches a course at the University of Toronto on Biblical archeology. I invite him on to discuss the evidence.RSM Blog (with free scholarly sources) = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2026/03/13/the-case-from-biblical-archeology-w-dr-tony-costa/

Is human epistemology and rationality possible if naturalism is true? David Johnson unfortunately mixed up the days (cause he knew he'd lose this one jk :P), thus I fill in to probe and prod Phil Bair's argument that natural determinism is incompatible with knowledge (i.e., a justified true belief).RSM Blog (with free scholarly sources) = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2026/03/07/shows-with-david-johnson-phil-bair-and-tavo-san-abri-in-march/
