Podcast: The Issues Podcast

Issue #83 – The Value of Your Local Church

Why does the local church matter—and can listening to sermons online ever take its place? In this episode, Stephen, Martin, and Tom discuss the biblical foundation and practical value of belonging to a local church. From membership and baptism to fellowship, accountability, and pastoral care, they explore how God uses a congregation to help believers […]

Issue #82 – What do Republicans do Next?

Stephen, Tom, and Martin are joined by Anthony Collins, an active participant in Indiana Republican politics, for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of conservatism in America. They discuss how Trump has changed the Republican Party’s tone, economic philosophy, immigration policy, and approach to foreign affairs—and whether the coalition he built can survive without him. […]

Issue #81 – Made for Heaven

This week on The Issues Podcast, we introduce a brand-new segment: “Baptist Behaving Badly”—a look at some of the issues, controversies, and lessons coming out of the Baptist world. Then we turn our attention to the main topic: Made for Heaven. Heaven is more than simply the place a Christian goes after death—it is the […]

Issue #80 – Justice, Compassion, and the Lindsay Clancy Case

The Lindsay Clancy case has sparked intense debate over mental illness, criminal responsibility, postpartum psychosis, and the meaning of justice. In this episode of The Issues Podcast, Stephen, Martin, and Tom examine the case and wrestle with the difficult questions surrounding it. How should mental illness affect criminal responsibility?

Issue #77 – Spiritual Leadership

In this episode of the Issues Podcast, Stephen and Martin unpack what true spiritual leadership looks like from 1 Corinthians 4, addressing why it is often misunderstood in today’s churches and why fewer young men seem willing to step into leadership roles. They explore the tension between faithfulness and success, the dangers of personality-driven ministry, […]

Issue #76 – Integrity That Can Be Examined from Job 31

In this episode, we sit down and walk through Job 31 together, unpacking Job’s final defense and what it reveals about true integrity. As the conversation develops, we explore how Job invites his entire life to be examined from his thought life and purity, to his treatment of others, his handling of wealth, and even […]

Issue #75 – The Church, Civil Order, and the Gospel

In this episode of The Issues Podcast, Stephen Russ and Martin Wickens respond to the disturbing church invasion in Minnesota and explore what it means to protect religious liberty, uphold lawful protest, and remain faithful to Christ in a hostile culture. They discuss church security, the role of government, Christian self-defense, and the balance between […]

Issue #74 – The King James Conversation Everyone Avoids

Few topics ignite more passion—and confusion—than the Bible translation debate. In this candid episode, Stephen Russ, Martin Wickens, and Joe Shakour sit down for the conversation many have been asking for but few have been willing to have. From the opening prayer, it’s clear this isn’t a fight to win—it’s a truth to clarify. Together […]

Privacy Policy

Who we are

Lighthouse Christian Radio is a radio station in Milwaukee, WI. Our website address is: https://www.lighthouse.radio

Personal data we collect and why we collect it:

Song votes and listener feedback

When you submit a thumbs-up or thumbs-down vote, we store your choice, the song or broadcast title, artist, album, channel, broadcast time, and the time your vote was created or changed. A randomly generated browser identifier connects your votes without requiring your name or email address. We use this feedback to understand listener preferences and improve programming. Authorized website administrators can view and export these records. You may change your vote for the same airing.

To estimate your city and state, our server sends your IP address over an encrypted connection to ipapi.is. The voting system saves only the resulting city and state and the lookup provider name; it does not save your IP address, an IP-address hash, precise coordinates, or postal code with your vote. These estimates may be inaccurate, particularly when using a VPN or mobile network. Votes can still be saved when location is unavailable. See the ipapi.is privacy policy for the provider’s practices. Hosting and security systems may process IP addresses separately from the voting feature.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact Forms

We collect only the information listed on any and all contact forms on our website. Your information may be used to contact you, but we never share, distribute, sell, or provide your form data to any external party. If you request, we will delete your form data from all of our records.

Cookies

When you use the voting controls, we set a secure browser cookie that lasts up to 90 days to recognize your guest voting session and associate your votes with that browser. Clearing or blocking this cookie may prevent voting or access to your previous guest votes; clearing it does not delete votes already stored on our server. This cookie does not provide cross-device login. Approximate city and state may also be cached on our server for up to 15 minutes to avoid repeated lookups.

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

We are not responsible or affiliated with any data external websites may collect from you.

Analytics

To track user browsing habits on our website and improve our website for you, we gather browsing data through Google Analytics (GA). Your data is anonymized. The anonymously collected data includes details such as device, screen resolution, pages browsed, duration of browsed pages, clicks, etc.

Who we share your data with

We do not share any information gathered about you to any external party in any method or for any reason, unless specifically stated concerning the particular set(s) of data.

We may store your data for a select period of time and use it internally for church-related purposes. In this case, your data will not be shared publicly within the church.

How long we retain your data

Voting records and their browser identifiers currently remain in our database until manually deleted; no automatic deletion period is configured. You can contact us at the email address below to request access to or deletion of records we can identify as yours. We may need details about your votes to locate guest records, since guest voting does not collect a name or email address.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Other service-provider processing, including the city/state lookup used for voting, is described in the relevant sections above.

60 dBu local 50 dBu distant 40 dBu fringe 3800 S. Howell Ave. antenna

Illustrative 60, 50 and 40 dBu contours calculated with the FCC Coverage API from 3800 S. Howell Ave., Milwaukee—the antenna location. The site marker and all three contours use the same address coordinates. For comparison, this estimate retains the earlier reference assumptions of 80 watts and an antenna radiation center of 244.6 meters above sea level; these are not verified antenna specifications for this address. Final coverage depends on the antenna’s actual height and power. Terrain can make the outlines uneven around the antenna. Actual reception varies with buildings, interference and your receiver.
