Anger feels justified everywhere right now—but is it actually righteous?

When frustration builds, who do you blame?
Culture? Politics? Other people?
Or do you pause long enough to ask what Scripture says about your response?

In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow", Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) is joined by Ministry Pastor Steve Dennis to confront a hard question Christian men can’t avoid:
Are you reacting to the world—or living under God’s direction?

What happens when judgment comes easier than accountability?
When emotion replaces self-control?
When anger feels justified but obedience feels optional?

Scripture doesn’t excuse reaction—it calls for discipline.
Faith isn’t proven by what frustrates you, but by how you respond when pressure is on.

A biblical worldview doesn’t follow culture—it corrects it.

A new year doesn’t change anything by itself. You do.

So, here’s the question: Are you starting the year ahead with clarity—or just hoping things improve?

What is God actually calling you to steward right now?
Your time? Your discipline? Your priorities? Your decisions?
And are you treating those things with intention—or leaving them to chance?

In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow close December’s series by getting practical about real faith for the real world.

Not resolutions.
Not slogans.
A plan grounded in Scripture—and the responsibility to act on it.

If God has already given you what you need, what are you waiting for?
If faith requires obedience, where have you been delaying?
And if drifting is a choice, what would it look like to choose differently?

This episode challenges Christian men to start leading and taking ownership of the lives God has entrusted to them.

You can call yourself a Christian and still live like the world is in charge.
So what changes that?

If you believe in Jesus, what does that belief require of you today?
When you say you’re seeking God, are you doing it with all your heart—or only when life slows down?
Are you leading your life with intention, or reacting to whatever the day throws at you?
If your habits are forming your future, what future are you building right now?

In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow bring the December series to a decision point: intention is the bridge between what you believe and how you live.

God doesn’t call us to drift.
He calls us to seek, ask, and knock—on purpose.

So, here’s the question: What will you choose for 2026?
And will your choices finally match what you say you believe?

Don’t miss it—this episode will challenge you to decide, commit, and live like you mean what you say you believe.

We began December by asking a necessary question: What’s shaping what you believe?

Then we pressed deeper: What do you really believe and to whom do you belong?

This week, that line of thinking brings belief into focus.

In this show “Believing in Jesus,” host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and Christy Mendelow move beyond reflection and into responsibility. If you say you believe in Jesus, what does that actually mean? What follows from that belief? And what must change if it’s real?

Believing in Jesus is not a vague sentiment, a seasonal tradition, or a personal interpretation. It carries consequences. It demands consistency. And it requires honesty about whether our beliefs are shaped by Scripture or by convenience, culture, and comfort.

Set against the backdrop of Christmas, this episode calls for clarity as we look toward a new year.

If you believe in Jesus, then certain things must follow. If they don’t, the question isn’t about Christmas, it’s about belief.

Join us to take time to examine not just what you say you believe, but what your life reveals about it.

Do you actually believe the story you’re celebrating?
December brings lights, music, and tradition—but it also brings the most important question a Christian man can answer: What do you believe?

Not what you were taught growing up.
Not what culture assumes.
Not what feels familiar this time of year.
What do you believe about God, the Truth, and the meaning of Christ’s birth in your life today?

In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow talk honestly about what you believe and how it shapes your life.

As they talk about belief, they also explore another question: to whom do you belong?
And December creates a natural moment to evaluate what you believe, because the season provides a rare opening to think about Christ in a world that often forgets Him.

If you want clarity about what you believe and who you belong to, listen now.

Most men don’t realize how much of their life is shaped by the people around them.
Not by Scripture.
Not by conviction.
But by pressure, expectations, and the steady pull to fit in.

So let me ask you:
Who is calling the shots in your life when you’re not thinking about it?
Whose approval affects the way you speak, act, or stay silent?
And how much of your faith is something you live—versus something you set aside when it feels inconvenient?

In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow expose the outside influences that quietly redirect men every day. They talk about how subtle pressure erodes conviction, why so many Christians adjust their faith depending on the setting, and what it looks like to finally stand firm with clarity and purpose.

Before you can answer what you believe, you have to understand what’s been shaping you.
If you're ready for a direct, honest conversation, this one matters.

Thanksgiving may be over, but the call to give thanks is not.
If gratitude only lasts for a holiday, what good is it in the world we face every day?

In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow ask a direct question:
If God calls us to give thanks in all things and to all people, what happens when that becomes the way you live—not something reserved for one day on the calendar?

Are you the kind of man who pays attention to the people God puts in front of you?
Do you see them?
Do you acknowledge them?
Do you thank them?
Or does gratitude disappear the moment the holiday is over?

They talk about the strength that grows when you notice people, connect with them, and choose gratitude in the real world—in conversations, in conflict, in pressure, and in the everyday moments most men overlook.

If you want to lead well, influence well, and stay anchored in Christ, start with a simple truth: Giving thanks—in all things and to all people—doesn’t end with Thanksgiving. It continues as a daily way of life.

What happens when your faith moves from self-focused to outward-focused? What changes when you stop replaying your own concerns and start seeing what God is placing in front of you?

In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow speak to the shift Jesus called every follower to make—moving from inward preoccupation to outward engagement that shows your faith through action.

Where do you need to pay attention instead of retreating into your own thoughts?
Who has God placed in your path that you’ve been too distracted to notice?
And what would your walk look like if your first response wasn’t self-protection, but service grounded in Scripture?

This conversation is about real impact, real attention, and real faith lived out in the world God entrusted to us. Listen and step into the work God is calling you to.
