    You were built by God for a mission.

    Ephesians 2:10 says you are His handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works prepared in advance. That means your life has orders—straight from the Commander.

    So here’s the question: are you carrying them out?

    This week on "Moment of Truth," Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) calls Christian men to step into the purpose God designed and live out the mission only they can fulfill.

    Take a few minutes to listen, and then put it into action.

  • Guarding What Is Holy
    Sep 4 2025

    Send us a text

    Jesus warned in Matthew 7:6: “Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.”

    Look around—what does this world really reward? Not righteousness, humility, or brotherly love. Instead, it rewards that which is not of God, leaving men enslaved to anger, sin, and lies. It keeps us distracted, worn down, and compromised.

    But as Christian men, our mission is too important to surrender. Every day we must decide: Will we trust God’s promises and guard what is holy, or will we let the world shape us into its image?

    In this week’s “Moment of Truth” from the radio show “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow,” Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) calls us to stand firm, reject the world’s empty rewards, and walk faithfully with God—one day, one choice at a time.

    Five minutes. One challenge. Real faith for the real world. Take your stand today.

    Send us a text

    If you want more of God, you have to make room for Him. That means rejecting the lies of the world and replacing them with the Truth of God’s Word.

    James 4:4 warns that friendship with the world is enmity with God. In this "Moment of Truth," Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) calls men to stop drifting, resist compromise, and step into the freedom that only comes by standing firm in Scripture.

    Listen now and take the next step toward walking closer with Christ.

  • What Your Choices Say About You
    Aug 20 2025

    Send us a text

    You say you want more of God. But are your choices proving it?

    Jesus said, “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much” (Luke 16:10). The little things—your words, your habits, your follow-through—are revealing your true heart’s desire before God.

    What’s your record? Are you living in a way that draws you closer to Him and prepares you for greater responsibility… or are you sidelining yourself through compromise?

    This week on "Moment of Truth" from the radio show “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow,” Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) issues a clear call: Faithfulness isn’t proven when the stakes are high—it’s forged in the small things you do every day.

    You say you want more of God. But what do you want more?

    More time in the Word—or more time on your phone?
    More peace—or more control?
    More godly influence—or more comfort in your current circle?

    In this week’s “Moment of Truth,” Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) shares one simple question that exposes what’s pulling you away from Jesus—and how small, honest choices can lead you back.

    It’s not about religious performance.
    It’s about real decisions in real life.

    Tune in to discover the question that could bring clarity to your choices—and help you walk the road that leads closer to God.

    This short, hard-hitting episode will challenge you to stop drifting and start walking intentionally toward Christ—one decision at a time.

  • Disruptive Faith: The Strength of Surrender
    Aug 6 2025

    Send us a text

    What if the next step in your faith isn’t bigger—but smaller?

    Last week’s “Moment of Truth” called us to disruptive faith. This week, Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) takes it further—with a simple verse that reorders everything:

    “He must increase, but I must decrease.” —John 3:30

    In a world chasing recognition, Scripture points to reduction. Less of us. More of Him.

    Could it be that the strength you’re looking for starts with surrender? Could the breakthrough you need be found in the basics—time in the Word, time in prayer, and time walking closely with Jesus?

    This episode of "Moment of Truth" reminds us that real growth begins with letting go. Tune in now—and step into the strength that only surrender can bring.

  • When Pressure Hits
    Jul 23 2025

    Send us a text

    Some moments in life demand a deeper kind of response.

    This week's Moment of Truth challenges Christian men to think beyond knee-jerk reactions. When tragedy strikes or pressure mounts, it’s easy to respond with frustration or just pull back. But Scripture shows us there’s another way.

    So, what does your response reveal? Are you reacting to the world—or reflecting the heart of Christ?

    1 Peter 2:15 reminds us that how we live can silence the noise around us—not with volume, but with goodness.

    Listen to this short, powerful segment from Moment of Truth—taken from the weekly show Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow. It’s real faith for the real world, from the frontlines of faith.
