What if your frustration in life isn't about your circumstances, but your expectations?

Are you expecting ease when God promises endurance? Are you frustrated because you've been shaped by culture instead of Scripture? How often do we fail to realize that our expectations are steering the direction of our lives and our faith?

In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," the host, Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret), and his wingman, Christy Mendelow, ask the hard questions:

• Where are your expectations coming from?
• Are they aligned with who you are in Christ?
• Are you prepared for struggle or just hoping to avoid it?

If you're serious about walking out your faith in the real world, you can't afford to overlook the expectations shaping your thinking and actions.

Your expectations matter. They determine everything.

Tune in now. Real talk. Real faith. Real answers. Don't miss it.

The world is loud about identity, but are you listening to the right voice?

What defines you—your past, your performance, your politics? Or is it the unchanging truth of who you are in Christ?

In part two of "Is Your Identity in Christ or in Crisis?" host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman, Christy Mendelow, address the cultural chaos driven by confusion about identity. They challenge you to stop living off borrowed beliefs and anchor your life in God's truth.

Do your values reflect God's? Are your actions aligned with who He says you are? What's shaping your expectations—your faith or the noise?

Don't settle for confusion. Listen to this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow" now at CourageousChristianity.today or on select podcast platforms.

Lots of people are talking about how they identify—but do they really know who they are?

In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard Mendelow (Ret) and Christy Mendelow take on one of the most important questions of our time: Is your identity in Christ—or in crisis?

In a culture where people identify as anything and everything, even Christians are getting lost in labels—forgetting the one identity that matters most: child of God. Are you grounded in Him, or shaped by what the world says you should be? Is your identity formed by headlines, hashtags, or hard truth? Are you living in the freedom Christ already gave you—or still chasing approval the world will never give?

Don’t miss this conversation. It could change how you see everything.

In Part 2 of “Obscured by the Enemy: Finding Clarity in God’s Word,” host Colonel Richard Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow continue the conversation on the spiritual tactics used by the enemy to distort, distract, and divide.

Is your faith more complicated than it needs to be?

In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow address how faith has been made unnecessarily complicated—by culture, by confusion, and even by the Church. If God’s Word is clear, why are so many Christians unsure of what to believe—or how to live it out? What happens when we drift from what God has plainly said?

Maybe the real challenge isn’t figuring it out—but choosing to follow what’s already been revealed.

Drawing from military principles like Commander's Intent and foundational Biblical truth, Richard and Christy cut through the noise and get back to what God actually says in His Word.

What lies have you accepted as truth? What if the real answer has been right in front of you the whole time?

In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow ask the hard questions:
