About FaithTalk Today with Rick Probst

FaithTalk Today with Rick Probst is a Christian interview show shaped by warm energy, practical questions, and a steady interest in how belief travels into ordinary life. Rick Probst keeps the room informal. He jokes, name-checks Atlanta weekends, remembers previous guests, and moves quickly toward what a book, ministry, film, or story might mean for families and communities. Recent episodes lean heavily into Focus on the Family conversations, with Paul Asay, Glenn Lutjens, John Fuller, and Gary Schneeberger appearing around screen habits, media discernment, marriage counseling, audio ministry, giving, and Truth Rising. The show also reaches beyond that circle. Pastor Alan Jackson talks about Lead with Faith and Christian influence in workplaces, schools, churches, and communities. Todd Nettleton brings Voice of the Martyrs stories of persecuted Christians, including imprisonment, fellowship, prayer, and ongoing legal pressure. The result is not a detached religion-and-culture briefing. It is closer to a pastoral magazine table, where books, ministries, personal struggle, family repair, and public witness sit beside one another. The pace is conversational. The questions are accessible. The register allows humor, but it does not treat pain lightly. Depression is discussed through Paul Asay's Beauty and the Browns, with attention to isolation, connection, and small first steps. Marriage is framed through commitment, friendship, romance, repentance, and repair. Screen use becomes a question of creativity, connection, and attention. Public faith becomes a question of courage, grace, truth, and influence. FaithTalk Today with Rick Probst suits someone looking for Christian encouragement that names cultural pressure while staying close to daily decisions at home, at work, and in community.

Made for: Suits a listener who wants Christian interviews tied to marriage, family, media, culture, leadership, and public faith. It fits someone who prefers warm pastoral conversation over academic theology.

What sets it apart: The show blends Atlanta-radio friendliness with a ministry-resource focus, moving naturally from jokes and guest rapport into counseling, screen habits, persecution stories, and faith-shaped leadership.

In their own words

FaithTalk Today with Rick Probst features fun and inspiring conversations with influential Christian leaders from across the nation—and right here in Atlanta—offering biblical insight and encouragement for our daily lives. Be sure to join Rick Probst for FaithTalk Today on FaithTalk Atlanta AM 970 and AM 590 at 2:00 PM every Saturday or 12:00 PM every Sunday. Or follow the podcast on the listening platform of your choice.
