CHRISTINA Hello, everyone, I'm Christina Darnell, the managing editor of MinistryWatch, and today we're inaugurating a new feature here on the MinistryWatch podcast. Here's Warren Smith, the President of MinistryWatch, to explain. WARREN That's right, Christina. For the past couple of years, I've been writing a column called “Signs and Wonders.” “Signs and Wonders” is a column that shares thoughts on news items that either do not rise to the level of a news story for MinistryWatch or are slightly (even significantly) outside of our normal charity and philanthropy “beat.” My goal with the column was to be punchy, opinionated, and not to worry much about being slightly off brand. CHRISTINA And that approach has worked. Your “Signs and Wonders” column is often among our top ten stories of the week. WARREN So, after talking with you about that, we decided to do this audio version of the column. We won't be posting this on the website. After all, the “Signs and Wonders” column itself is already there, but we will be dropping this into the podcast feed each week, and we hope you enjoy it. CHRISTINA So what's up first? WARREN This week, the National Religious Broadcasters became the Pro-War Religious Broadcasters. It is not clear to me why the National Religious Broadcasters felt a need to issue a statement in support of Trump’s War this morning, but it did. I will not reprint it here. You can find it online if you are so inclined. CHRISTINA But it appears that the NRB might have outkicked its coverage, as they say in football. WARREN That's right. The Associated Press reports this week that even among the president's hardcore media supporters there is division. It will be interesting to see of MAGA media faithful remain…well…faithful. As up Wednesday, the American death toll is up to six people. The total death toll has topped 800. CHRISTINA We don't cover a lot of international news here at MinistryWatch, but you wanted to highlight the worsening situation in Nigeria. WARREN The situation in Nigeria is not getting as much attention in the U.S. as it deserves. Islamic radicals are trying to impose Sharia law to a large swath of the country, and local residents are resisting. What is happening in Nigeria could erupt into a larger conflict. CHRISTINA Nigeria has more than 230 million people, with Christians making up 40% of the population. WARREN If what is happening in Nigeria explodes into a full-blown religious war, the consequences could be devastating. More than a dozen Christian ministries, including Cru, Samaritan's Purse, Compassion International, World Vision, and SIM International have a presence in the country. CHRISTINA Closer to home, you've turned your attention to Christian romance novels. WARREN I was interested in and mildly frustrated by an article in Christianity Today about Christian romance writer Jeannette Oke. The 91-year-old author has sold more than 30 million copies of her soapy, sentimental books. CHRISTINA Several of them have been turned into Hallmark movies. WARREN I was interested because the story was well-written and fact filled. I was frustrated because the story failed to note that the romance genre has killed serious fiction in this country. Some reports say romance novels account for 30 percent of adult fiction sales. Maybe I'm just getting old and crotchety, but — in my view — “Christian Romance Novel” is an oxymoron. The sentimentality of a “romance novel” are in active war against the realism of true Christian fiction. Can you imagine a Christian publisher today bringing out Flannery O'Connor or Wendell Berry or Walker Percy? CHRISTINA Warren, let's pivot and talk about a controversy involving the beloved Minneapolis preacher and ministry leader John Piper. WARREN He stirred social media last week by tweeting a Bible verse. That Bible verse is Leviticus 19:34. “You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.” CHRISTINA But what seemed to generate the controversy was a one line comment he added. WARREN He then added this comment: “Christians know the miserable bondage we were all in.” CHRISTINA The post has (so far) gotten 1.9 million views and about 2000 comments. So why do you think the tweet got so much attention? WARREN The tweet is controversial because our current immigration policy is polarizing. Some of Piper's critics have included Calvary Chapel Chino Hills pastor Jack Hibbs and James Lasher of Charisma Magazine. One of my more perceptive readers, Salvatore Luiso, emailed me that it was “sadly ironic” that Piper is being criticized for taking a Bible verse out of context by people in the charismatic movement who engage in “absurd interpretations of Bible verses taken out of context.” He has a point. CHRISTINA Speaking of the charismatic movement, Paula White-Cain is at it again. WARREN At a conference in Florida called the Unleashed Conference, covered by Christian Leader, she urged attendees last week to give a “sacrificial seed…out of obedience to God, and she tied their giving to spiritual breakthroughs.” CHRISTINA The 2026 Unleashed Conference took place in late February, and featured speakers including former Kansas Governor Sam Brownback and Anglican priest Calvin Robinson. WARREN In other words, people who should have known better than to associate with Paula White-Cain, who was investigated by Sen. Charles Grassley a dozen years ago. CHRISTINA Can you give us a taste of what she said? WARREN Yes, here is a taste of White's message: “How many of you want to be a blessing?” she asked. “Because I'm telling you, there's an anointing of release right now. I want $100,000 to come in. I want $100,000. There are ten people that could give $10,000. There's a hundred people that could give $1,000. Get a check, make it payable to Paula White Ministries,” said White-Cain. “If you say, ‘I don't have it,' give a $100. Bring up a sacrificial seed.” To which I can only add: Stay as far away as possible from this charlatan's theology. CHRISTINA Warren, I've noticed in your social media feeds you often remember fallen military heroes. And this week you are remembering John Chapman. Who was he? WARREN John Chapman died in combat on this date in 2002. He was the first Airman awarded the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War. If you don't know about him, check out this article. I highly recommend taking some time with it. It is the powerful story of a true American hero. And, I might add, the battle which cost him his life and for which he got the Medal of Honor, was captured on video by a drone that was flying over the battle to provide support. The video can be found on social media and it is done tastefully. It's not graphic. And I recommend finding it and getting a more immersive understanding of this hero's story. I should add that Chapman was a husband, father, and a committed Christian as well. CHRISTINA Any closing thoughts? WARREN I have some travel coming up in the next couple of months, and I would love to see you. I will be in Los Angeles in April and Dallas in May. I will be doing reader lunches in both cities. Let me know if you would like to join us. My email is wsmith@ministrywatch.com. CHRISTINA The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm Christina Darnell, with my co-host Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.

With global tensions rising, Israel back in the headlines, and America facing a profound spiritual crisis, 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year. In this timely and sobering episode of The Stakscast, Erick Stakelbeck is joined by Pastor Jack Hibbs, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, host of the Jack Hibbs Podcast, and author of the new book Watching & Waiting: A 40-Day End Times Devotional—Living Today in Light of Tomorrow. Pastor Hibbs delivers biblical clarity for a confusing moment, explaining why the rise of Islam in the West, the explosion of antisemitism across the political spectrum, and the growing hostility toward Israel are all unmistakable signs of the times. From Muslim mayors governing major Western cities to the unholy alliance between Islamists and the radical left, Hibbs warns that Judeo-Christian civilization is under direct assault—just as Scripture foretold. The discussion ranges far and wide, connecting today's headlines to timeless biblical truth, including: Why Islamism and radical leftism are joining forces against the West How antisemitism has gone mainstream—and why it's spiritually driven Why Israel remains the centerpiece of God's prophetic timeline The Trump–Netanyahu alliance California as a frontline battlefield for America's future Why political and economic revival isn't enough without spiritual revival Pastor Hibbs reminds viewers that Bible prophecy was not given to scare us—but to prepare us. As deception spreads and discernment fades, this is a powerful call for believers to return to God's Word, stand with Israel, and live with eternal perspective. Learn more about your ad choices.

This interview was done when Rose guest hosted forSean Hannity December 30th 2025.In an age marked by moral confusion, culturalpressure, and a growing resistance to biblical truth, Pastor Jack Hibbs continues to stand firm — and calls believers to do the same.We discuss his new book, Called to Take a Bold Stand, and the powerful idea that God may be preparing His people for this very moment in history. In a world that feels increasingly chaotic, Pastor Jack offers encouragement to weary believers and a clear challenge to stop playing it safe.This conversation explores what bold, biblically grounded faith looks like in everyday life —from discerning God's personal calling to the dangers of AI-driven spirituality(thefalse gods the bible speaks of- imposters and deceiving spirits), and the urgent need for Christians to speak with truth and love without fear.As we look toward a new year and uncertain times ahead, Pastor Jack reminds us that Christ is the governor of time — and that real hope, identity, and resilience are found notin algorithms or convenience, but in unchanging truth. Pastor Jack also shares a message for the new year.Pastor Jack Hibbs is the senior and founding pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, president of Real Life Network, and host of the nationally syndicated Real Life TV and radio program. https://jackhibbs.comPlease Support this Podcast:https://www.mypillow.com Promo Code: ROSEhttps://patriotmobile.com/partners/rosewww.americansforprosperity.orgwww.wordmarketingservices.com Rose's Ministry: www.sheiscalledbyhim.comSubscribe for free newsletters
