This week’s Moment of Truth: Romans 8:28
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

All things.

Do you actually believe that?
In the pressure?
In the setback?
In the loss you didn’t see coming?

Romans 8:28 is not a slogan for easy days. It is a battle-tested promise. But who is it for? Those who love God. Those who are called according to His purpose. That raises a question—are you living according to His purpose, or your own plan?

When circumstances hit hard, do you trust that God is at work—or do you default to frustration, control, and self-reliance? Are you interpreting your situation through culture, emotion, and fear… or through Scripture?

This week on "Moment of Truth," host, Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret), brings Romans 8:28 into clear focus. No clichés. No sentimental faith. Just the reality that God is sovereign, even when life is not easy.

Are you aligned with His purpose?
Are you willing to see difficulty as training, not defeat?
Are you living in a way that proves you trust Him?

Five minutes. One verse. A direct challenge to the way you think about adversity.

This week’s Moment of Truth comes from 2 Timothy 2:15:
“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”

When temptation shows up, do you know how you intend to respond?
When you’re provoked, do you pause—or react?
Have you identified the situations that consistently trip you up?

In this week’s “Moment of Truth,” Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) challenges Christian men to be intentional—to prepare themselves ahead of time. Not perfection—intentionality.

Having a plan matters. Scripture-based responses matter. Christians are called to take responsibility for how they live, speak, and respond—because our aim is to honor God, and lives are affected by our choices.

This week’s “Moment of Truth” challenges you to prepare before pressure hits. Take a few minutes and listen now.

This week’s Moment of Truth: Isaiah 55:9

God says His ways are higher.
That settles the question—but not the tension.

Isaiah 55:9 doesn’t invite debate.
It demands alignment.

So, ask yourself plainly:
• Where are you insisting on your way instead of God’s?
• Where has obedience been replaced with justification?
• Where has conviction stopped short of action?

This “Moment of Truth” isn’t about understanding God’s ways.
It’s about submitting to them.

Because real faith shows up when God’s direction disrupts your preferences, challenges your pride, and requires disciplined love toward others.

If God’s way isn’t yours—whose way are you following?

Listen to this week’s “Moment of Truth,” drawn from the full-length radio show "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," and examine how your faith is actually being lived out.
