Pastor Jack Hibbs joins Mark today to talk about his newest book, Living in the Daze of Deception: How to Discern Truth from Culture’s Lies. Jesus warned that deception would grow worse as we draw nearer to the end times, saying, “Take heed that no one deceives you” (Matthew 24:4). Distinguishing truth from error has become an increasingly challenging task—even in the church. We live in a time when falsehoods assault us from every direction. Packaged with just enough truth to make them appear trustworthy, these counterfeits have grown more and more difficult to detect and avoid.Living in the Daze of Deception explores the many ways error is masquerading as truth—and how you can discern the difference. From pastor Jack Hibbs, you’ll learn the characteristics of deceivers and how they have brought harm to both secular culture and the church the many deceptions that are altering and replacing the truth, and how to recognize them the keys to standing strong as the spiritual battles surrounding us intensify The greatest antidote to deception is truth. Equip yourself now to grow in discernment so that you can protect yourself from error and remain steadfast in your faith!Brought to you by Mark Taylor and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Today, Mark talks to John Burke, author of the book: Imagine Heaven: Near-Death Experiences, God's Promises, and the Exhilarating Future That Awaits You. All of us long to know what life after death will be like. Bestselling author John Burke is no exception. In Imagine Heaven, Burke compares over 100 gripping stories of near-death experiences (NDEs) to what Scripture says about our biggest questions of Heaven: Will I be myself? Will I see friends and loved ones? What will Heaven look like? What is God like? What will we do forever? What about children and pets? For decades, Burke has been studying accounts of survivors brought back from near death who lived to tell of both heavenly and hellish experiences. While not every detail of individual NDEs correlate with Scripture, Burke shows how the common experiences shared by thousands of survivors--including doctors, college professors, bank presidents, people of all ages and cultures, and even blind people--point to the exhilarating picture of Heaven promised in the Bible.This thrilling journey into the afterlife will make you feel like you've been there. It will forever change the way you view the life to come and the way you live your life today. You'll discover Heaven is even more amazing than you've ever imagined.Brought to you by Mark Taylor and the Sky High Podcast Network.

While it’s easy to point fingers at the mainstream media, anarchists, racists, socialists, and other perceived culprits, Truth, Lies, and Control delves deeper, examining the emotional impact of witnessing the gradual collapse of values that previous generations fought to secure and uphold.The narrative acknowledges the rapid deterioration of the values, a decline more severe than many could have anticipated. Letts identifies key factors contributing to America’s downward spiral, tracing their origins and highlighting their profound effects on individuals and institutions. These factors range from the radicalization of politics and education systems to the rise of extremist ideologies that challenge the core principles upon which America was built. Truth, Lies, and Control is a call to action for citizens concerned about America's moral freefall. It urges individuals to break free from passivity and engage in the battle that has arrived at their doorsteps. With a focus on reviving the truth, it encourages everyone to be vigilant in this battleground of ideas. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the issues, speaking up boldly, and defending moral truths that protect children, communities, and personal values.Brought to you by Mark Taylor and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Mark chats today with Angeline Marie, author of the book Soul-Less Society: The Ultimate Deception That Took the Land of Plenty to a Nation of Death. For over 240 years, for the most part, the American people have enjoyed a certain amount of civility and prosperity in a free society. There is an operation underway to deliberately throw the United States and the nations of the world off the rails spiritually to cause the chaos the world is experiencing today. Why? To usher in a new age of globalism, complete control over everyone and everything, by just a few at the top. This is just the physical manifestation of an underlying spiritual war.This fight carries to a whole other level. In the physical world it plays out as the globalists vs. the non-globalists, the governments vs. the people, one race or group against another race or group—but the ultimate fight is really in the spiritual realm. It boils down to good versus evil.This book was not written to convince you or to change your mind. It was written to unveil the spiritual variable of the equation and show you how it connects to the physical chaos we are living through daily, and to encourage you to simply sift through the media garbage you are fed every day.Brought to you by Mark Taylor and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Mark speaks today with L. Edward Hazelbaker, author of the book God Cares Enough: The Message of Jonah. In God Cares Enough: The Message of Jonah, author L. Edward Hazelbaker delves into the central theme of God's boundless care for both His followers and His enemies, extending to all of Creation. Through the story of Jonah, Hazelbaker explores the depth of God's love and His relentless pursuit of reconciliation. Jonah, a man who had previously experienced a close relationship with God and had been an instrument of His will, is called to a new and challenging task by the Lord. Reluctant and resistant, Jonah chooses to reject this divine calling, setting in motion a captivating series of events. Hazelbaker highlights the fascinating dynamic between God's response to Jonah's disobedience and his misconceptions and ungodly attitudes. Through Jonah's story, readers gain insight into the fact that even God's chosen and redeemed children can possess flawed understandings, emotions, and beliefs that deviate from His will.
