Have you ever looked around at the state of things to try to make sense of it all — but couldn’t? Maybe you’re just looking through the wrong lenses! At the Clark Report podcast, we seek to look at the world through biblical lenses. Culture. Finances. Marriage & family. Relationships. We believe the timeless truths in the Bible speak clearly to these issues and more. We're John & Val Clark. We're not pastors or ministers -- just committed Christians who love the Lord and love telling others about Him. We'll post a new episode each Wednesday!John Clark Christianity Ministry & Evangelism Spirituality

  • The Resurrection: Evidence That Changes Everything
    Mar 25 2026

    Did Jesus really rise from the dead? What evidence do we actually have? Is Easter just about bunnies, eggs, and candy?

    In this episode of The Clark Report, we explore one of the most important issues in Christianity: the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    Joined by theologian and apologist Dr. Ben Shaw, we unpack compelling historical evidence and explain why the Resurrection is far more than a blind leap of faith.

    You’ll discover the powerful “minimal facts” approach—a method used by scholars to examine the Resurrection using widely accepted historical data.

    From the empty tomb to eyewitness testimony and the dramatic transformation of the disciples, this conversation will strengthen your confidence in the truth of the Gospel.

    Whether you’re a lifelong believer, wrestling with doubt, or simply curious about the evidence for Christianity, get equipped and encouraged for Easter with this week's episode!

  • Could This Spark Revival? 'America Reads the Bible' Movement
    Mar 11 2026

    Could reading the entire Bible out loud help spark spiritual renewal in America?

    In this episode of The Clark Report, we explore “America Reads the Bible,” an extraordinary nationwide initiative where hundreds of believers will publicly read the entire Bible—from Genesis to Revelation—during a historic week-long event in Washington, DC.

    Organized by Christians Engaged and hosted at the Museum of the Bible, this massive scripture reading project is designed to celebrate America’s 250th birthday while calling the nation back to the Word of God.

    Our guest shares the vision behind the event, how it was inspired by a similar biblical event, and why organizers believe hearing the Word of God proclaimed publicly could inspire unity, repentance, and spiritual revival.

    From April 18–25, hundreds of readers will take turns proclaiming scripture in shifts, while thousands more participate online through livestreams across the country.Could this moment become a turning point for America?

    Watch to learn how you can participate and why many Christians believe this event comes at a crucial time for the nation.
