Steve Rogers – Since this is Rogers for America's first broadcast of the new year, I’d like to change direction and begin by sharing our hopes for the future of our country—perhaps focusing on the positive news we wish to hear, rather than the unwelcome stories that bombard us daily.

Sharing Grace at Christmas

The rise of attacks on believers and why now?
The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – If we want a future with free worship and free speech, we must defend the habits that sustain them.

Why holiday eating derails your gut and the simple steps to get back on track
Looking 4 Healing Radio with Elizabeth Joseph – Stressful family dynamics, disrupted sleep, skipped meals, and rushing from event to event raise cortisol, which further slows digestion and weakens immunity.

Tis the season to be sneezing
Looking 4 Healing Radio with Dr. Angelina Farella – Vitamin D is my top winter tool. Start supplements before the days shorten. When illness starts, boost vitamin D and vitamin C.

At home, reduce allergens. Control humidity to limit mold. Wash linens often and...

Thinking of the small things we can be thankful for
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – While we all have a lot to give thanks for, I think limiting it to one day a year deprives us all of something important. For example, many people today stop before their feast and list what they’re thankful for: family, friends, a warm home, and a good meal. Have you taken the time to think of the small things we can be thankful for?
Are these wellness trends worth it? Q&A
Nurses Out Loud – Here’s the truth nobody tells you: You don’t have a gadget problem. You have a habit problem.

Holiday movies as modern traditions

Flu season or sugar season? How to build a bulletproof immune system
Looking 4 Healing Radio with Dr. LeAnn Fritz – Let’s start with what weakens your defenses. Your immune system hates sugar.
