The Church. Who really needs to be a part of it? Why should we belong to something so archaic and so narrow? The culture around us seems to ask this question relentlessly, but what is the answer? From God's original intent for His church, to the ways in which He uses us today, and the reasons why people attend and leave the church, this series emphasizes the importance of the Church and the need to revere it as divinely established.

The Church is simply a group of saved sinners, and because of this we face a variety of issues. How do we deal with them? Focusing on the letter of 1 Corinthians, Pastor Skip Heitzig discusses Church divisions, sexual impurity, marriage difficulties, personal liberties, and other problems in the body of Christ and looks at what God's word says about resolving them.

Some people believe that porn can be helpful in a relationship. However, the majority of research claims there are very few cases where pornography has actually been helpful in a marriage. This is because porn is not designed to help you feel content with your marriage partner. Instead, it is designed to make you feel dissatisfied.

Shaw, widely known and read Catholic writer, speaker, and former communications director for the US Bishops, discusses the abuse of secrecy in the Church, the scandals it has caused, and the serious problem of mistrust that exists in the credibility of the Church. Not concerned with the legitimate secrecy that is necessary to protect confidentiality and peoples reputations, Shaw is rather concerned here with the stifling, deadening misuse of secrecy that has done immense harm to communion and community in the Church.

A man of peace. A vengeful dictator. A priceless gift from America. Held 1,431 days in horrendous conditions, Feliberto Pereira endured for the day freedom would arrive - a morning flight from Cuba to Miami, part of the largest airborne rescue of its kind in U.S. history. On his journey to freedom, hope replaced despair, and for thousands of people this man would meet, life would never be the same. The inspiring story of a modern good samaritan.

The Radio Right tells the story of the 1960s far right, who were frustrated by what they perceived to be liberal bias in the national media, particularly the media's sycophantic relationship with the John F. Kennedy administration. By the early 1960s, millions of Americans listened each week to conservative broadcasters, the most prominent of which were clergy or lay broadcasters from across the religious spectrum, including Carl McIntire, Billy James Hargis, and Clarence Manion.

From a marketing standpoint, the Catholic Church has access to the most scarce and prized resource in our contemporary economy - uninterrupted attention. First-time author Damian P. Hanley explains in detail how the Church - at the parish level - can leverage this resource and use web 2.0 media to engage millenials and iGen - generations plagued by addiction, vacuous materialism, and a severely diminished opinion of the Church. Catholic churches are struggling to connect with young people in an authentic and relevant way.
