This week on G3 Weekly, we analyze the biggest headlines through the light of Scripture:1. The Socialist Shift in NYC (0:39) We break down the victory of Zohran Mamdani, the first Muslim and Democratic Socialist mayor of New York City, and explain why this ideology fundamentally clashes with a biblical worldview that affirms private property and individual responsibility.2. Government Shutdown Deconstructed (6:49)The longest-ever federal shutdown reveals a dangerously over-involved government. We discuss why the constitutional gridlock is actually a feature designed as a "protection against tyranny."3. The War on Conscience (12:09)We examine the new University of California mandate that defines using an "incorrect pronoun" or "dead name" as harassment, arguing this is compelled speech that forces Christian students to violate their conscience.4. Major Religious Freedom Victory (15:38) We celebrate the Texas Supreme Court ruling that protects judges who refuse to perform same-sex marriages based on their biblical convictions, creating a vital shield for the Christian conscience in the public square.Ultimately: As Christians, our hope is in God's sovereignty, not in human politics.

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're hitting a hot topic: America jumping into the Israel-Iran war. And I'm just going to say it—I don't think we should've gotten involved. I've supported Donald Trump for years, but I think he got this wrong.Israel just said they didn't need us. This was their fight. Then suddenly, we're bombing a nuclear site and opening doors that didn't need to be opened. And of course, anyone who questions it gets labeled a “panican.” But guess what? The “panicans” are starting to look more and more like prophets, because now, sleeper cells are stirring, and American churches are already under attack.We don't need to be scared, we need to be wise. The Bible calls us to test the spirits, stay watchful, and seek peace when we can. (1 John 4:1, Romans 12:18). So let's talk about it honestly. Because loving your country (and even loving your favorite president) doesn't mean checking your discernment at the door and always being a yes-man.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee
