Your Network Of Praise Podcasts cover a wide spectrum of topics: from special events going on in our 60+signal and 6-state broadcasting region, to in-depth interviews with music artists and national leaders, calls to prayer, and moving testimonies, and key ways for believers to be involved in critical issues in cultural reform. The reoccurring theme is to share the hope and encouragement always available in Christ, regardless of the topic, pressing issue, or current trends facing our nation. We also podcast weekly Network Updates to keep our listeners informed of what is happening behind the scenes with this radio ministry, and invite them to be vital part of God's work going forward through the intentional and worshipful act of prayer.

The recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court pertaining to the 1973 Roe v.

CEO of Life Issues Institute, Brad Mattes, has been in the forefront of this battle for 46 years, and shared with us during the Morning Show what lies ahead and the responsibility for individuals and churches to step up and provide the help for the increased volume of people seeking assistance with their planned and unplanned pregnancies.

He is a graduate of Taylor University and Dallas Theological Seminary and is a gifted communicator of the Gospel who realized in the course of his very successful ministry life just how empty he was - enough so that one night brought him very close to contemplating suicide after a ministry event. That night took him on a new journey of discovering the love of Christ, and how important it is to come out of shame-based "try harder, just-do-it" religion, and into the beautiful invitation of abiding in Jesus and His amazing love.

In our monthly conversation with Brad Mattes of Life Issues Institute, Brad reviewed the recent New York Times column by the current Planned Parenthood president that acknowledged the racist and eugenic programs against people of color by the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger.
Brad’s conclusion was that if Planned Parenthood is to correct 100 years of keeping minorities in their crosshairs, here’s where they can begin: In the top 25 abortion-producing counties in America, a whopping eighty-six percent of Planned Parenthood abortion facilities are in or near minority neighborhoods.

Listen with an open heart, and be encouraged and moved to take the next step, with the wonderfully stable help of the Child Bridge family.

Our theme this year at YNOP has been "I Still Believe!, which was inspired by the movie slated to come out this past Spring about music artist Jeremy Camp's personal story of how he learned to trust God through both the love and the loss of his first wife, Melissa, when she died from cancer early in their marriage.
Jeremy found himself having to lean into trust again this year when movie theatres across the country shut down because of Covid right when the highly anticipated film was about to take off. Jeremy and his wife, Adrienne, share what this year has been like for them as a result. They also share about a new EP worship album called "The Worship Project" that they just released together, with songs that have been helping thousands of people through this difficult year and is having tremendous impact.

What a powerful conversation this month with our friends at Child Bridge! Today, Carlene Prince is joined by the Missoula Regional Director, Tricia Collins. Tricia was a former youth in foster care and an adoptee. This, coupled with her experience as a foster and adoptive mom, bring heartfelt understanding of the plight of children served by the Child Bridge mission.
Today, Tricia unites compassion and passion to explain the urgency of the need for those who would be ready, willing, and able to serve in obedience to Christ to fill the gap being caused in the great uptick of cases of kiddos coming into care. The need is on the rise dramatically due to this year of Covid and schools beginning to soon be in session soon. Tricia lives this message and is a powerful spokeswoman to the testimony of healing from trauma, and the difference and impact it can make when we respond to the call of God in this area.

Titus and Jacqueline are the real deal. They love Jesus, and they love what Scripture has to say about what love really looks like lived out on the earth. They share important information on how to trust God with your heart as you journey this road one step at a time, and talk about how it's changed their family as their entire family is in agreement about how they can help children in need together. You will be so blessed by their hearts as they speak into and attest to Father's wisdom as it pertains to foster and adoptive care. As always, listen, be encouraged, pray, and share!

In this month's conversation with the Child Bridge community, we are honored to introduce you to Phill and Emily Christiansen, who have both adopted and fostered. Their hearts on this issue and ability to speak about the journey involved is both authentic and bold. You will be moved by the points they communicate and their expressed invitation to trust Jesus in taking this journey one step at a time, and listening for, as Emily puts it, how to hear Jesus whisper truth to your heart. The ministry of "widows and orphans" is something the Word Of God is clear about and there is such opportunity for us to take the hand of Jesus, and rescue a child or be part of the ministry of those who do.

"I Still Believe" - the movie based on the true story of Christian musician Jeremy Camp's life, was released in theatres nation-wide in March, RIGHT before theatres started to close nation-wide due to the Covid-19 pandemic. There were incredibly high expectations for this film's release, the impact it would make, and it was slated to be #1 in the box office. Because of the early shut-down, the filmakers and financial backers for the film sped up the process to get the movie released digitally and have now announced it will be available for purchase on DVD/Blu-ray on May 5th!
Carlene Prince talks with Director, Andrew Erwin, to explain why it is so very critical that folks support this film - because the movie industry is tracking very closely with which projects are being supported in a season like this to determine what types of product they will move forward to make and release in the future.

Today, we are blessed to have our monthly conversation with Child Bridge, as we connect with Jenna Taylor, who is the Executive Director. This month's conversation is a sobering one, but of utmost importance.
During the Coronavirus pandemic, while many consider being at home a safe place, for many children this only increases their exposure to abuse and neglect. Now is the time to pray about getting involved, and being the hands and feet of Jesus to protect the vulnerable in the many variegated ways that the Father will show us when we seek His heart, hear His answers, and be intentional in response.
Please listen to this very important conversation, and then pray, and share. Together, may the church of Christ rise up like never before, and may an outpouring of support come forth so that the vulnerable may be vulnerable no more.

Here is our last story to share with you from Warrior Leadership Summit 2018. When Carlene was there on the first day, as all the attendees were arriving from all over the US and Canada, this beautiful young Navajo woman came bounding up to the table where she was sitting. It was evident within the first few words of conversation this young woman was full of joy – and very uniquely designed to share that joy with others. Caitlyn is bubbly and passionate about worshipping Jesus. When you meet her and see that smile, you can never forget it – she leaves quite an impression. We pray you are blessed by her heart and her story!
When Carlene recently attended Warrior Leadership Summit – she was thrilled when she was introduced to Merv, who was also from Montana! Merv is an incredibly articulate man of God – super passionate, and he has the joy of the Lord, like you wouldn’t believe! His Native name is incredibly telling of who Creator God designed him to be – and you will really enjoy his heart, his joy, and his story. Listen, and be deeply encouraged that God is raising up incredible young Native leaders who have a heart for God, and are deeply invested in sharing their Jesus with others. **Please use discretion when listening due to the sensitive nature of this conversation.
Craig and LaDonna Smith, are Native American Christian ministers, from the Ojibwe and Navajo tribes. Their organization, Tribal Rescue Ministries, is a ministry in close affiliation with The Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA). Craig is licensed as an Alliance official worker, serving as a C&MA National Evangelist while serving as president of Tribal Rescue Ministries. LaDonna has served faithfully along Craig’s side in music, teaching, and equipping many next-generation rescuers for more than 40 years. Their lives were changed dramatically when they were involved in a near-fatal auto accident several years ago. LaDonna broke her C-1 & 2 neck vertebrae, which in most cases results in instant death, or if survived, results in total paralysis. The fact that she is walking and suffers minor effects can only be attributed to the grace and power of God.
Craig suffered major injuries that took him right through death’s door. After being resuscitated and airlifted to a major trauma center, he clung to life in a coma for nearly two months. Almost 40 surgeries later, Craig continues to astound the doctors, surgeons, and therapists in his amazing and arduous road to recovery. Even though he is primarily confined to a wheelchair, Craig continues his long healing journey.
Craig has been a featured speaker for Promise Keepers at their national stadium events. In addition, he has represented Native Americans at the White House and at the residence of the President of Israel. As you listen to this interview, you will be blessed by the heart-felt and spiritually driven insightful comments by Craig. May we accept Craig’s invitation and call to awareness into deeper levels of prayer for the move of God happening among Native youth as we listen to his heart for his people – which is a passionate heart indeed.
Joanne has an amazing story of overcoming so much in Jesus. She has the sweetest spirit, and loves talking about the transformation that Jesus, and Jesus alone, can bring.

She's an amazing woman, and she has traveled in the past with the On Eagle’s Wings team and is so open about her story, as she knows the healing Jesus can bring to others through sharing. **Please use discretion when listening due to the sensitive nature of this conversation.

Listen to his captivating story…and pray for this emerging leader.
Bach is originally from a reservation in South Dakota, but now lives in Kentucky. He took a few minutes during the Warrior Leadership Summit to share with Carlene how he came to know Jesus, and what he believes WLS is doing for Native young adults.
