In this special election broadcast, Tim talks with Mike Gonidakis of Ohio Right to Life about the candidate who is the self-described "adult in the room" when it comes to the 2016 race for the presidency, Governor John Kasich. Unlike every other election discussion, this interview avoids getting sucked into the Trump vortex and instead focuses on Kasich's faith and record as governor. After the interview, Tim then attempts to explain the Trump phenomenon and how this election is changing the criteria for selecting a candidate.

June 9 - Final Episode, Simplifying Life...

Tim talks with Garret Epps, Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Baltimore, who wrote a piece in the Atlantic about the implications of the Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act. While the discussion is cordial (first time guests to the show are always given the benefit of the doubt!), Tim clearly takes issue with the fact that those who support this law do so because of their "dislike" of homosexuals as well as other key points of Epps' article. 

April 7 - The Indiana RFRA with Professor Garret Epps

It's the Easter edition of Life360 with Tim Jacobs, and Tim asks the question: Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Because if he didn't, according to 1 Corinthians 15, the entire Christian religion is a joke. So what do you believe? Tim presents the evidence for the resurrection and makes the point that the alternatives are harder to believe than the actual resurrection claim itself.

March 31 - All About That Tomb

Everyone talks about eliminating poverty, but how do you really do that? Tim talks with CEO and Co-Founder of Arizona Charter Academy, Melissa Holdaway, about her vision of breaking the generational cycle of poverty through education. Far from giving low-income kids an excuse, Melissa challenges them to become leaders, entrepreneurs, and succeed at whatever they set out to accomplish. You do not want to miss this interview.

March 24 - Lifting Kids Out of Poverty with Melissa Holdaway

Many people think that "church" is going the way of the newspaper and the horse and buggy - outdated, unnecessary, and irrelevant. But the truth is, more churches are being planted than are being closed, and the ones really growing are those that have a clear Biblical message and making a difference in their community. In this episode Tim interviews three volunteers who are leading "Inside Out" - an event that consists of shutting down Compass Church in Goodyear, AZ, on a Sunday morning and unleashing the congregation out into the community to do acts of service all over the place.

March 10 - Yep, Church is Cancelled!

The little strip of of land along the Mediterranean the size of New Jersey has been, and will continue to be, at the center of the world's attention. In light of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's powerful speech before Congress, Tim talks about the prophetic, political, and economic powerhouse that is Israel and their critical place in the world.

March 3 - Netanyahu's Speech and How Israel Has Blessed the World

Tim interviews two pastors from Compass Church, Mike Szoradi and Gabe Legaspi, about life, God, marriage, and manhood. Many people think pastors are nothing but old guys with an outdated message who are out of touch with the "real world." But Gabe and Mike, both in their early 30's, represent the next generation of pastors who are walking the talk. Listen to their stories of faith, redemption, and hope as they live out their calling as husbands, fathers, and pastors.

February 17 - Pastors off the Record

Alabama is the next state to approve same-sex marriage, and Tim makes the case that we as a nation never bothered to really think deeply about this issue as a nation before rushing to redefine marriage. The second part of the show is an interview with the very popular and prolific novelist Susan Meissner. Susan joins Tim to talk about her new book, Secrets of a Charmed Life, a great read and/or a perfect Valentine's gift for the lady in your life.

February 10 - Same-Sex Marriage and an Interview with Susan Meissner

Greg Koukl, founder and president of Stand to Reason ministries, joins Tim to discuss how to answer common questions Christians are asked such as, "Who are you to say your religion is right?" and "Why are you Christians so intolerant?" By using the "Columbo" method of asking questions and reversing the burden of proof, it becomes much easier to point out the lack of clarity in the questioner and then have a more meaningful conversation. The rest of the show is a discussion about a different way to engage people in the public square which is rather, well, hideous.

February 3 - Greg Koukl and How to Answer Hard Questions

Tim interviews Mark Galli, editor of Christianity Today, about the controversy surrounding The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven. Are Near Death Experiences (NDE's) true and if so, what should we think about them? The second half-hour Tim interviews Ryan Bell of www.yearwithoutgod.com about how he, as a pastor, left Christianity to become an atheist. There are so many issues packed in this one hour show... it's one that will definitely leave your head spinning!

January 27 - NDE's and Pastor-Turned-Atheist Ryan Bell

Tim talks with Brad Johnson, author of The Four Laws of Forgiveness, about how to give and receive forgiveness. Brad shares his own journey of discovering God's grace and moving past shame. The second half of the show is a lesson in economics that makes the case that money in the hands of good people (as opposed to the government) makes the world a better place. 

January 20 - Forgiveness and Why Making Money Is Good

New York Times bestselling author Stephen Mansfield joins Tim to talk about his book, Mansfield's Book of Manly Men, and the whole subject of manliness in our culture.

Tim catches up with the LIfe360 with Tim Jacobs Official Middle East Correspondent, John Cook, on efforts to alleviate the Christian refugee crisis resulting from the rise of ISIS. The show continues with a discussion about a former pastor-turned-atheist and how important behavior is to belief.

January 6 - Refugees and Atheism

Tim unveils the "Heavy Theological Reflections" segment and talks candidly about Heaven and Hell. Also, a recent article in the Telegraph suggests that 2014 may be one of the best years in all of human history. But is that true? Isn't it more fun (and more responsible) to believe we're all teetering on the edge of disaster, rather than the fact that we may be living in the Golden Age? Christians should keep the glass half full and be fearless in risking, expanding, and growing as we "subdue" this great planet God has given us!

December 30 - Go BIG in 2015!

Life360 with Tim Jacobs is LIVE every Tuesday at 4pm on 1280 KXEG in Phoenix.
