Ep 322"What is a Christian Warrior? – Part 2"
Last week, we asked the question: What is a Christian warrior? We challenged the picture shaped by culture and began to look at what Scripture actually shows—a man under authority, living by a higher standard. Now we take it further. If that’s true…what does it actually require of you? Is obedience something you’ve settled—or something you negotiate?What does real commitment look like in your life right now?Are you preparing—or just reacting?Where is your level of zeal? In Part 2 of “The Christian Warrior Series,” the host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow move from definition to application: A Christian warrior is defined by how he lives. Obedience.Commitment.Preparation.Zeal. And the standard is not culture—it’s Christ. So, here’s the question that matters: What does your life actually reflect? Tune in to “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow” now and gain clarity on what it actually means to live this out in your daily life.

Ep 321"What is a Christian Warrior? - Part 1"
What comes to mind when you hear the word warrior? A man with a weapon?A fighter driven by anger?Someone who dominates others? Or something entirely different? What if a warrior is actually defined by discipline, humility, obedience, and strength under control? What if the greatest warrior who ever lived did not conquer with weapons—but with the Truth? In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow begin a new series examining a critical question: What does it actually mean to be a Christian warrior? Many people carry a picture shaped by movies, culture, or personal opinion. But when that picture is wrong, it affects how we see Jesus—and how we understand the life He calls us to live. In the show, Richard and Christy take a serious look at the difference between the secular idea of a warrior and the biblical reality. A true warrior is not driven by ego.He does not answer only to himself.And he does not act according to emotion or impulse. A warrior lives under authority.He holds himself to a higher code.He serves something greater than his own comfort or ambition. These qualities may appear in earthly roles of duty and service, but they find their fullest meaning in the life of a man who follows Christ. Jesus demonstrated strength that was calm, deliberate, and unwavering in the Truth. He knew who He was, who sent Him, and the mission He came to fulfill. And for those who follow Him, that clarity changes how we live, lead, and stand in a confused world. Listen now at CourageousChristianity.today, on KKHT.com, iHeart Radio, or on select podcast platforms and examine what a Christian warrior truly is—and why that clarity matters now more than ever.

Ep 320"The Thinking of Men: Part Two"
Picture a crowded high school lunchroom. Noise. Pressure. Messaging from every direction.Voices telling young men what matters. What’s right. What’s normal. You would pray for clarity over that young man.You would ask God to protect his thinking. But here’s an important question: Are you any less surrounded? If every generation insists it’s smarter than the last —why does the thinking of men keep producing confusion?If experts can’t decide whether eggs are good or bad —why would you entrust your family to cultural certainty?If philosophies shift every decade — what is actually anchoring you? In Part Two of this series, Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow move from exposing unstable thinking to confronting its consequences. They examine stoicism, cultural trends, modern movements, and confident experts — and then hold them up against Scripture. Not to argue.To test. Because every man is building his life on something.The question is whether it will still stand ten years from now. What are your children catching from you?Are you filtering the world through the Bible — or the Bible through the world? If you want to live anchored instead of reactive…If you want to lead with conviction instead of impulse…If you want clarity that doesn’t shift with culture… The world is loud. Don’t let it shape you without examination. Listen now at CourageousChristianity.today, on KKHT.com, iHeart Radio, or on select podcast platforms.

Ep 319"The Thinking of Men: Part One"

Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow walk through a real decision that forced a choice: follow instinct — or follow Scripture. You’ll hear how to slow your thinking down.How to separate reaction from conviction.How to orient yourself before you act.

Ep 318"America Reads the Bible: A National Call to Return to God's Word"
As America approaches its 250th birthday, something significant is happening in Washington, D.C. For 84 continuous hours, the entire Bible will be read aloud at the Museum of the Bible — from Genesis to Revelation. Bunni Pounds, visionary behind America Reads the Bible and Founder of Christians Engaged, joins Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and Christy Mendelow on "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow" in this episode for a focused conversation about why this moment matters — and what it reveals about our nation. If Scripture truly equips men for every good work, why has it drifted to the margins of so many lives?If joy, righteousness, peace, and purpose are rooted in God’s Word, what happens when it is no longer central? This conversation goes beyond the event itself. It addresses alignment — personally and nationally. Are you reading the Word daily?Is it shaping how you think, lead, and decide?If change is needed in this country, does it begin in institutions — or in men who return to Scripture?

Ep 317"Embracing Change – Part 3"
Big change doesn’t start big. It starts small. In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman, Christy Mendelow, close out a three-part conversation on change by examining where real transformation actually begins—and why it’s so often overlooked. Are you waiting for motivation before you act?Are you ignoring the small habits that shape your character?Are you drifting a little at a time without realizing where it’s taking you? Thirty pounds doesn’t show up overnight.Strong marriages don’t grow by accident.Weak habits don’t form in a day. Scripture is clear: be faithful in little, and you’ll be trusted with much. So what are you doing with the little things? Are you showing up?Are you getting off the X?Are you committing to 15 minutes in the Word at 6 a.m. even when you don’t feel like it? Change doesn’t happen by backing into it. It happens by deciding to move—one step at a time. If you’re serious about living out real faith in the real world, this finale matters. Then act on what you hear. Don’t wait. Show up. Listen now at CourageousChristianity.today, on KKHT.com, iHeart Radio, or on select podcast platforms.
