If someone offered you a hundred dollars to share your beliefs in public would you do it? What if they offered you a thousand dollars? A million? Some of you are probably still saying no. About 90% of Americans have some level of fear of public speaking. This fear is often compounded when it has to do with sharing one’s faith. So how can you get past your fear to share your faith in public? According to Kevin’s guest, Mark Spence, you don’t have to. Mark Spence is the Vice President of Outreach for Living Waters Publications. He also edits Living Waters’ many apologetics videos featuring Ray Comfort including the most recent video titled “The Atheist Delusion”. Mark Spence has a secret.

Mark has a simple method to overcoming his nervousness. Tune in to Educate For Life to hear Mark Spence’s strategy for effective street witnessing. You will also get t

Imagine this. You are in a room with no windows. There are people all around you. But they can’t talk to you, look at you, or even acknowledge you. You might as well be invisible or dead. For most people, this would sound like a nightmare, but this was the experience of our guest Michael Lehre as a Jehovah’s Witness. Michael Lehre was born and raised Jehovah’s Witness. He felt he had the true religion until one day when he met a man who claimed he had the true religion. Michael didn’t know it, but a seed had been planted. He began to secretly explore the Bible. The more he studied, the more he realized that everything he had ever in told was a lie. His life began to fall apart and he was disfellowshipped from his congregation. He felt so worthless he attempted suicide multiple times. At his lowest point, he cried out to God to reveal Himself and God answered. Tune in to Educate For Life to hear this amazing and powerful story. You will hear how Michael Lehre, through the power of Jesus Christ, turned his life

Christianity is often associated with the worst moments in history. The salem witch trials, the crusades and the holocaust just to name a few. Critics claim that because of these events, Christians can’t claim that Christianity is better than any other religion. After all, they claim, Hitler was a Christian and look at all the horrible things he did. But is this claim true? Was Hitler a Christian? Today of Kevin’s show, we have guest Dr. Richard Weikart to answer that questions. Dr. Richard Weikart is Professor of History at California State University, Stanislaus. He completed his Ph.D. in modern European history at the University of Iowa in 1994, receiving the biennial prize of the Forum for History of Human Sciences for the best dissertation in that field. His book, From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany, documents the influence of naturalistic evolution on ethical thought, euthanasia, militarism, racism, and ultimately Hitler’s ideology.

Climate change is a big topic today and is hotly debated. It has been held responsible for hurricanes, tornadoes, and the ice age. Main stream scientists believe it has been responsible for a series of ice ages over millions of years. In fact, they warn that if we’re not careful about what we do with the environment, another ice age will be triggered causing a worldwide catastrophe. But are they right? How many ice ages have there been? How volatile is our environment currently? Today on Kevin’s show we have two experts that have been studying this very topic. They will share how much environmental science has been influenced by the worldview of the scientists doing the research. Dr. Jason Lisle and Dr. Jake Hebert will share exciting research that supports a biblical view of science and a single ice age caused by a worldwide flood. Dr. Hebert is a research associate at the Institute for Creation Research. He joined ICR in 2011 as a research associate and focuses much of his work on climates before and after

Many Christians go through life with many questions about their faith and may feel surrounded on all sides by opposition. They are faced with tough questions such as, how can a good God allow evil? Does the Bible contain errors? How can we know it’s the word of God? Because of questions like these, some lose their faith. Others keep their faith but no longer believe in important aspects of Christianity. But there is a place where everyone can have all these questions answered. Dr. Joseph Holden from Veritas Evangelical Seminary is here to emphasize the importance of learning to defend your faith through the study of apologetics. The mission of Veritas Evangelical Seminary is simple. Their vision is to prepare a generation of spiritually mature, biblically equipped, academically advanced, and socially developed individuals for a life of opportunity and service to the glory of God. Dr. Joseph Holden teaches at Veritas Evangelical Seminary and holds a Masters of Divinity in Apologetics and a Ph.D. in Philosophic

Imagine this. You come in to work one day and learn you’re being investigated for harassment. Why? Because you shared a DVD with a co-worker about the science of intelligent design. Worse still, your boss fires you because you dared to share your beliefs. Sound unbelievable? Well, that’s exactly what happened to David Coppedge. For 14 years, David F. Coppedge worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for NASA’s most ambitious interplanetary mission, the Cassini Mission to Saturn. For most of that time, he was Team Lead System Administrator, responsible for 15 networks and 200+ computers across America and Europe. He received high ratings for his work, until he was reprimanded for sharing his beliefs. He was ultimately fired. But David Coppedge decided to fight back and took his case to court. Tune in to Educate For Life to listen in to this discussion between Kevin Conover and guest David Coppedge. David Coppedge will take you through what happened in his case and present some stunning evidence that backs up hi

The journey from openly homosexual agnostic drug dealer to Bible-affirming Christian scholar and professor is a long and difficult one, as Dr. Christopher Yuan can attest.  Dr. Yuan’s parents were Chinese expatriates who escaped the cultural revolution by fleeing to Taiwan, and later came to America for higher education.  They lived out the American Dream, achieving financial success and providing a bright future for their children despite having arrived in the US with nothing.  But this dream turned into a nightmare for Christopher, who grew up with no religious influence in his life, was ostracized from other boys for being different, and began to feel same-sex attractions after being exposed to pornography at a young age. Dr. Yuan tells Kevin about his incredible testimony, which took both him and his mother to rock bottom before God brought them into the light.  In her darkest hour, Christopher’s mother heard God’s voice in the form of a small pamphlet. &n

It’s not easy being a teacher—which explains why a lot of them are quitting!  A recent article from The Atlantic examines some of the challenges that teachers face: from long hours of overtime, to less than average pay, to having to buy missing supplies with their own money, to overwhelming stress verging on nervous breakdowns.  Hard to imagine why not enough young people are choosing or sticking with a teaching career anymore!  And teachers who are Christians have one more thing to worry about: potential law suits they might face by showing any indication of their personal faith at school. Fortunately, there are a variety of perfectly legal ways that Christians, whether teacher or student, can live out their faith at school.  Sadly, many Christians are simply not aware of these rights and have been silenced by fear.  To help solve this problem, Jennifer Kvalvik created the Apples for Teachers ministry at the Rock Church in Point Loma.  Kevin talks to Jennifer

At the beginning of a new school year most students are worrying about settling into their dorm room with a new roommate, finding their classrooms, or how they’re going to pay for textbooks. Their parents may be worrying about how well their child will do academically and hoping they stay out of trouble. But if you are a Christian student or parent you may be worrying about how you, or your child, will survive college or high school with a faith that is intact. According to recent studies about 25% of college professors are professing atheists or agnostics whereas only about 7% of the general public are atheists or agnostics. Only 6% of professors believe the bible is the actual word of God and 51% say it’s an ancient book with good moral precepts. 75% of teachers and professors say that religion has no place in public schools. With statistics like these, a Christian parent or student has a reason to be worried. In fact, 8 out of 10 young people will leave the faith due to questions they encounter in public s

It’s in the news almost every day. Another white police officer has shot another young black man. People march through the streets crying for justice. Some even riot, loot and call for the death of cops in retaliation. They are followed by politicians who take a tragic situation and use it to their own political benefit. This is the tangled mess that is racism in America. But is racism the real issue or is there a root cause that needs to be dealt with? Is racism alive and well in America? Join Kevin Conover as he discusses this important issue with three special guests. Glen McKinney, Theo Goodwin (aka. Protege) and Daniel Wigginton are three African American men who have experienced the reality of racism in America. They will reveal how deep the problem goes and practical steps that everyone can take to help solve the issue. They will also discuss the role that the church has to play. For far too long the church has been asleep at the wheel. Sadly, the church has largely remained silent and has failed to re
