  • Why Women’s Bible Studies Matter More Than Ever
    May 6 2026

    Women’s Bible studies are changing hearts -- and lives.

    In this episode of The Clark Report, we explore the powerful role women’s Bible studies play in strengthening faith, building community, and guiding Christian women through today’s unique challenges. As church attendance patterns shift—especially among women—we ask: what’s happening, and how can the church respond?

    We also offer practical encouragement for Christian moms seeking to nurture faith in their children, along with guidance on how to find a Bible study that truly supports spiritual growth.

    Whether you're a mom, a ministry leader, or simply looking to deepen your walk with Christ, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    -Why women’s Bible studies are vital for spiritual growth

    -The striking decline in church attendance among women

    -Unique challenges facing Christian women today

    -How to find the right Bible study for your season of life-The critical role of mothers in shaping the faith of their children

  • A Broken World: Violence, Faith, and the Hope of Christ
    Apr 29 2026

    Violence...and the threat of violence...dominates the headlines, leaving many to wonder: What's happening to our world?

    In this episode of The Clark Report podcast, we look at the issue through biblical lenses. We examine the rise of violence in society and uncover the deeper issue behind it—the condition of the human heart.

    Drawing from biblical truths and historical examples like the story of Cain and Abel, we discuss why violence isn't just a societal problem, but a spiritual one.

    We also share the hope found through faith in Jesus Christ, who offers transformation, a new heart, and lasting peace in the middle of a troubled world.

    No matter how dark the times may seem, believers can live with confidence knowing Jesus is coming again to make all things right.
