Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening  The Tai-Ex opened down 53-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 43,172 on turnover of 11.9-billion N-T. The market tumbled (大跌、暴跌) on Wednesday after heavy selling in major tech stocks triggered a decline that sent the benchmark index back to below its monthly moving average and erased all of the previous session's gains. Two leading House Republicans to meet with KMT chair Two leading U-S House Republicans are meeting with K-M-T Chair Cheng Li-wun in Washington, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, and Young Kim, who leads a subcommittee (小組委員會) overseeing East Asia policy have both said they will sit down with Cheng. Mast has admitted he doesn't have specific expectations for the meeting. While a spokesperson for Kim, says the lawmaker plans to encourage Cheng and the K-M-T to support more defense spending to show Taiwan's commitment to self-defense and deterrence (嚇阻、威懾). NGO warns large fish disappearing from Taiwan's coasts due to overfishing Greenpeace Taiwan says research shows that smaller fish are making up an increasing share of Taiwan's inshore and offshore catches (近海與離岸漁獲), a trend the group says indicates larger fish are becoming rarer due to overfishing. According to the study, the proportion of fish caught before reaching "Lm50" — or the length at which 50 percent of a species reaches sexual maturity (性成熟) — rose from 77.7-percent in 2022 to 93.3-percent in 2025. Researchers say the survey points to severe overfishing and shows that without effective management measures, fish populations could face bottleneck effects (瓶頸效應) that result in progressively smaller fish. Iran latest Bahrain sounded its missile alert sirens (飛彈警報器) early Thursday morning after Iran threatened to retaliate (報復、反擊) over a new round of U.S. airstrikes targeting the Islamic Republic. Bahrain's urged the public to seek shelter. Iran's paramilitary (準軍事的) Revolutionary Guard had threatened to strike Bahrain over the attacks. The second day of American strikes comes hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan — all of which host U.S. troops — came under Iranian fire. Iran has said it will close the Strait of Hormuz in response. Congo Ebola outbreak spreads in the east Congo's Ebola outbreak (疫情、爆發) has spread to another health zone in the country's northeastern province of Ituri. Health officials say the outbreak has now affected 26 health zones nationwide. That includes 18 in Ituri where most of the confirmed cases (確診病例) have been reported. Officials reported 37 new confirmed cases and 12 deaths in the past 24 hours. The outbreak has now recorded 635 confirmed cases and 127 deaths across three eastern provinces. It is caused by the rare Bundibugyo strain (病毒株) of Ebola. Officials say there is no approved vaccine or specific treatment for that strain. Treatment activities are now underway at Ebola centers in two affected areas. Pope Leo blesses Sagrada Familia's tallest tower Pope Leo has blessed the newest tower of Barcelona's Sagrada Familia, making it the tallest church in the world. The 172-meter Tower of Jesus Christ is topped with a large ceramic cross visible across the city. Leo called the basilica an "architectural masterpiece" (建築傑作) during a Mass attended by Spain's king, queen and prime minister. The ceremony came 100 years after the death of architect Antoni Gaudi. The pope also used his sermon (講道、布道) to say Christians "cannot believe in Jesus and promote war." Earlier in the day, Leo became the first pope to visit a Spanish prison. He urged inmates at Brians 1 prison to make amends (彌補過錯、改過) and choose better lives. The Sagrada Familia was meant to be completed this year, but construction is now expected to continue until 2035. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

This episode is an invitation to rethink what we mean by orphan care and how Christians can best support vulnerable children around the world. I sat down with Elli Oswald, Executive Director of Faith to Action, for a conversation about orphan care and global missions. Elli brings over a decade of experience in global child welfare and shares why many organizations are shifting focus from institutional care toward strengthening families. Key takeaways: The majority of children in orphanages worldwide have living family, poverty separates them, not death Children thrive when they stay with family or in family-based environments Elli's story of Knabs shows how family tracing efforts reunited nearly every child in a Sierra Leone orphanage with their families The church's role is ensuring our giving creates the best outcomes Strengthening families before separation happens is more effective than caring for children after crisis This episode isn't about criticizing generosity, it's about channeling our compassion toward lasting stability, healing, and belonging. Whether your heart is for international missions, foster care, adoption, or serving vulnerable families, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on what effective compassion looks like.

Zach returns from Italy with a sobering reminder from Rome's ruins that every earthly kingdom eventually falls, but the kingdom of God keeps moving forward. Jase, Al, and Zach dig into how trials expose what comfort hides, and what it means to have a double-minded soul. Jase helps Zach's son, Bear, through a panicky faith moment, and it ends up being an awesome reminder of the courage young Christians need in today's world.  In this episode: James 1, verses 1–8; James 2; Acts 15; Galatians 2; Hebrews 12; Matthew 5, verses 21–22; Matthew 23, verse 17; Ephesians 2, verses 8–10; Genesis 2, verse 15; Hebrews 5, verse 14 “Unashamed” Episode 1351 is sponsored by: https://zocdoc.com/UNASHAMED — Check out Zocdoc and stop putting off those doctors appointments.

“How Does Islam and Christianity Differ on Jesus?” This question opens a discussion on the distinct perspectives each faith holds about Christ. Additionally, the conversation touches on whether God could have forgiven humanity without the cross, the concept of Messianic Muslims, and the implications of the Koran’s teachings regarding Jesus and messengers. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:45 – How Does Islam and Christianity Differ on Jesus? 10:45 – If God could have forgiven humanity without the cross, what makes the cross a more fitting means of salvation than simply forgiving sinners? 21:00 – What do you think of the idea that Muhummad had the strength of 30 men? 29:02 – Are there Messianic Muslims — Muslims who believe in Jesus? 35:35 – It is in the Koran that Jesus said he was going to send a messenger. 41:35 – Does Islam teach that Christians must be destroyed? 45:15 – Isn't it disingenuous to dismiss all of Islam culturally? It seems like people try to trash the whole religion when we could build bridges instead. 52:35 – How do you explain the Catechism's teaching that Muslims and Christians worship the same God, when Islam is so different than Christianity? Also, early church fathers used the quick spread of the faith around the world as an argument for its truth. But Islam spread even more quickly. How would you respond to that?

Understanding who we are in Christ will help us overcome much of the confusion currently saturating our world. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses who Jesus tells us we are—children of God, His friends, and salt and light in the earth. When we belong to Jesus, He becomes our Lord, and we have the great blessing of building a relationship with Him. Pastor Allen shares what each point of our identity as Christians means on a practical level and how we can only find spiritual growth when we're willing to change. We have the most valuable friendship in the universe available to us, so let's humble ourselves and get ready to grow.

Will God completely destroy the earth at the end of history? Many Christians picture the end times as God wiping creation away and replacing it with an entirely different world. But is that actually what Scripture teaches? In Episode #10 of Top 10 Most Controversial Verses: Eschatology Edition, Josh Howard examines Revelation 21:1 and one of the biggest questions in biblical prophecy: when Scripture speaks of a “new heaven and new earth,” does it mean annihilation—or renewal? Looking at Revelation 21 alongside 2 Peter 3, Noah’s flood, Isaiah’s prophecies, and the Bible’s larger theme of restoration, this episode explores whether God abandons creation… or redeems it.

Has Western culture merely forgotten God, or is the problem even deeper? In his remarkable new book The Desecration of Man, Dr. Carl Trueman argues that we have reached a new point in which culture has not only rejected God, but now desecrates Him. We can see this in the "shout your abortion" movement or the reveling in the mistreatment of immigrants. In this episode, Carl discusses the common thread of dehumanizing people that we see in the Sexual Revolution, technology, and how Christians approach death.Dr. Carl R. Trueman is Professor of Biblical and Religious Studies at Grove City College in Grove City, Pennsylvania. He earned an MA in Classics from the University of Cambridge, and a Ph.D. in Church History from the University of Aberdeen. He is the author or editor of over a dozen books, and is the co-host of “The Mortification of Spin” podcast.==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.   Find all episodes of Think Biblically at: https://www.biola.edu/think-biblically.   To submit comments, ask questions, or make suggestions on issues you'd like us to cover or guests you'd like us to have on the podcast, email us at thinkbiblically@biola.edu.  

“The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad.” — Psalm 126:3 Some Christians are sadly prone to look on the dark side of everything, and to dwell more upon what they have gone through than upon what God has done for them. Ask for their impression of the Christian life, and […]

Allie breaks the news that she's expecting! Allie details her pregnancy and gives her take on how Christians should plan their families. She also unpacks how Jesse Ridgway, who goes by "McJuggerNuggets," used the abortion of his unborn child with Down syndrome to create content. Allie runs through the leftist hypocrisy of celebrating the abortions of special needs children while calling others ableist or condemning the usage of the “R” word. This is a deeper problem with social justice, which outsources empathy to the state while requiring no sacrifice on the part of the individual. Also, Allie answers viewer questions on parenting daughters to be good sisters and regret over having a past abortion due to medical reasons. Do you have a question for Allie?

Segment 1 • Why are depression, anxiety, and loneliness exploding despite endless promises of happiness? • A controversial article asks: what happens when motherhood is treated as the enemy of fulfillment? • The world calls sacrifice a burden—could God's design reveal a completely different path to joy? Segment 2 • Christians often hear God's commands as restrictions, but what if they are actually the key to flourishing? • Feminism promised freedom and happiness—so why are many women reporting the opposite? • Marriage, children, work, and family are under attack. What priorities are quietly replacing them? Segment 3 • A viral abortion decision sparked outrage across the internet—but what deeper worldview was exposed? • What happens when personal comfort becomes more valuable than human life? • The Down syndrome debate reveals a painful question: how much sacrifice are we willing to make for others? Segment 4 • Is modern self-help culture healing people—or keeping them trapped in victimhood? • Oprah's influence reaches far beyond television, reshaping how millions think about suffering and responsibility. • What if the pursuit of feelings, therapy, and self-discovery is actually undermining contentment and purpose? ___ Thanks for listening!

“Should Sacrificial Love Be Exhausting?” Many believe that constant giving and never saying no is the essence of love, but this perspective can lead to burnout. The discussion also touches on balancing obligations to God and family, the moral implications of defending one’s family, and how these principles apply to single individuals. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:17 – Many Christians think constantly giving, never saying no, and exhausting themselves is a form of sacrificial love. Where does that idea go wrong? 14:57 – How I balance my obligations to God and to my family? 24:18 – Is there ever a time that a Catholic is morally obligated or allowed to defend one's family by physical means? Or is it ever sinful? 33:24 – Many of your examples are for married people with families. How would the principles here be applied to a single person? 41:00 – I'm 18, and there is a girl I'd like to ask out. How do I deal with the fear of rejection? 45:52 – I think I'm having a trauma response to my family. My family and I are moving onto the same property as my parents. Our family farm is falling apart and I'm worried how it is going to affect relationships.

If you grew up in church in the 90s or early 2000s, you probably received some confusing messages about sex and desire. This week, Juli and Hannah unpack how those messages shaped our understanding of sexuality and purity—and why so many Christians still struggle to say "yes, yes, yes" after years of "no, no, no." This conversation will remind you that God is not ashamed of your sexuality and invite you into healing, wholeness, and the truth about your sexuality.

What does it mean to live Coram Deo? In this episode of Take Heart, Corey Wing explores the rich Reformed concept of Coram Deo—living every moment of life before the face of God. Far more than a theological phrase, Coram Deo reminds Christians that every thought, word, and action takes place in God's presence, under His authority, and for His glory. Whether at work, at home, in worship, or in private moments no one else sees, believers are called to live with joyful awareness of God's nearness and sovereignty. Discover how this forgotten truth can transform your worship, strengthen your integrity, and deepen your walk with Christ.

As the church faced a controversy, the apostles sought for unity. They charged the congregation to find men of good repute who were full of wisdom and the Spirit. The seven men chosen were not called based on their skills, talents, or outward appearance, but based on their fruitfulness in the gospel. Christians today are to remember Who calls us to gospel work, and to consider character first, and to look more and more like Christ.

In Romans 5:1–5 we learn that justification is God's gracious act of declaring sinners forgiven and righteous through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not by works or obedience to the law. This foundational truth must be rehearsed often because it shapes daily Christian living, giving believers peace with God, continual standing in God's favor, and joyful hope in the glory to come. The sermon also highlights that justification changes how Christians view suffering: trials are not meaningless, but are used by God to produce endurance, Christlike character, and deeper hope through the work of the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, because Christ died for sinners and reconciled them to God, believers have every reason to live with confidence, joy, and hope rather than despair.

James 5:12 (NASB) 12 But above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you do not fall under judgment. Theme: Christians are called to be people who speak the truth and are faithful to keep their word. Outline: 1) Don't swear or take oaths to authenticate the truth (5:12a) 2) Make swearing/oaths unnecessary by always speaking the truth (5:12b)

Allie was joined by Megan Basham, culture reporter for the Daily Wire, to discuss her investigation into the After Party, a curriculum written by Curtis Chang, David French, and Russell Moore, which is being pushed onto churches in an effort to bring Christians of different political backgrounds together. Megan shares how this curriculum not only fails at its objective but is funded by secular progressives: Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. We discuss why Rockefeller's interest in bankrolling Bible studies is a red flag, including the fact that among the other initiatives funded are organizations that are pro-LGBTQ and pro-abortion. What's in the After Party curriculum and what message is it really sending? We also look at the "AND Campaign" and how it is also funded by the Rockefellers. We explain how politics is a way to love our neighbor and why getting it right matters for the church. --- Timecodes: (01:12) What is The After Party? / Rockefeller funding (07:50) What are their motivations?

Over the past 18 months some of the most violent attacks against persecuted Christians anywhere in the world have taken place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a country where more than 100 armed groups—many motivated by Islamist ideals—vie for territory and influence. Dr. David Kasali, founder and president of Congo Initiative, is back on VOM Radio this week to tell how Christians are responding and enduring, how they are choosing to be victors instead of victims. Listen as he shares how he trains Christians to overcome their fears and how he prays for Christ's Kingdom to be established in DRC, just as it is in heaven. He'll also share how Congo Initiative is welcoming Christians from around the world to come and serve in various roles. "We have to work," Dr. Kasali says, "for the coming Kingdom of God." He'll also share the story of his calling by God to return to Congo—leaving behind an education ministry he truly loved in Kenya—to serve and strengthen the persecuted church in DRC. And finally, he'll equip listeners to pray specifically for the needs of persecuted Christians in the Congo. Dr. Kasali's first visit with VOM Radio can be heard here. The VOM App for your smartphone or tablet will help you pray daily for persecuted Christians in nations like North Korea, Nigeria, China and Iran, as well as provide free access to e-books, audiobooks, video content, and feature films.

Rome's decline sounds uncomfortably familiar as Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian compare the empire's political chaos, devalued currency, and hunger for centralized power to warning signs in America today. The guys discuss why Christianity has always threatened governments that want ultimate control, since believers answer to God before the state. Al connects Diocletian's leadership reforms to the biblical wisdom Jethro gave Moses, and they wrestle with the difficult duty to pray for leaders even when Christians strongly disagree with them. Need a refresher on Ancient Christianity? Check out the previous episode on this topic at https://youtu.be/vP3u0pQP74c?si=cnpxf7EFOI2nMmnQ Today's conversation is about Lesson 8 of Ancient Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale Professor of History Kenneth Calvert. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/. More about Ancient Christianity: Christ entered the world during the reign of Caesar Augustus. The tensions between Christianity and the Roman Empire shaped the daily practice of the Christian faith and led many Romans to distrust and persecute the early Christians. But Christianity also benefitted from the Roman world. And when Rome collapsed in the West, Christianity provided the hope for preserving civilization. In this free, eleven-lecture course, Professor Kenneth Calvert will explore: How the Jewish, Greek, and Roman cultures all contributed to preparing the world to hear the Gospel. Why many Romans distrusted and persecuted the early Christians. The inspiring stories of Christ, His apostles, and faithful ones throughout the first four centuries of Christianity. The arguments of key early Christian apologists—Ignatius, Irenaeus, Justin, Athanasius, and more—who defended and defined the Christian faith amidst the animosity of the Roman world. The conversion of Constantine and how he brought stability to Rome, and how the rivalry between his sons almost returned Rome to paganism. How Augustine's writings helped preserve the message of Christianity during the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West. You will discover the uncertainties, trials, and triumphs of the earliest Christians as they confronted controversies within the faith and persecutions from outside it.

Greg Jenner is joined in late antique Egypt by Professor Edith Hall and comedian Olga Koch to learn about the life of mathematician Hypatia of Alexandria.An important mathematical and astronomical thinker, Hypatia is best known today for her brutal death at the hands of Christian fundamentalists. Born to a well-respected mathematician named Theon in fourth-century Alexandria, Hypatia received an unusually advanced education for a woman, and eventually took over her father's school. But with the city in which she lived riven by religious and political conflicts during the declining days of the Roman empire, she came to the attention of radical Christians – with fatal consequences.In this episode we explore Hypatia's trailblazing life as a philosopher and mathematician, and her afterlife as a martyr for intellectual enquiry, and as a certified feminist icon.This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week, Matt Whitman joined us to explain why we are seeing an increased interest in the church, the Bible and Jesus today. We spent time with two guests this week addressing the recent claims about U.F.O’s and alien life. First Dr. Fazale Rana put the latest claims into a biblical perspective and explained how Christians should like about these events. Then on Tuesday Dr. Casey Luskin explained why if there was such a thing as alien life it would be a greater danger those who believe in materialistic evolution than for those who believe in a creator God. We also told you why the U.N. wants you to eat insects instead of meat. National Security expert Lt. Col Robert Magginnis gave us a sobering warning about the encroachment of AI in every aspect of our lives and why we should not ignore this threat. “Readin, Writin and Rithmatic” are at the bottom of priority list for too many schools today. Janet’s daughter, the vice president of Defending Education, was back to explain how indoctrination has taken the place of education in America’s classrooms. There is only one way to combat the broken and misguided ideals permeating our society today, the word of God. Join Janet and Craig as they continue to teach, by example, how to apply His truth to our lives every day and in every circumstance.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Down to Earth Theology, Matt Plett concludes his exposition of Matthew 24 by examining Jesus' teaching on the faithful and wicked servants. Far from encouraging passivity, Christ calls His people to faithful stewardship, kingdom service, and obedience while awaiting His return. Matt explores how Matthew 24:45–51 applied to the generation that witnessed the destruction of Jerusalem and how its warning continues to challenge Christians today. What does kingdom readiness actually look like? How should pastors, elders, church members, fathers, mothers, and ordinary believers live in light of Christ's reign? And what separates the faithful servant from the wicked servant? Join us as we conclude this important study of Matthew 24 and consider Christ's call to faithful dominion, service, and perseverance.

This week, we discuss: Rethinking Just War: Pope Francis's comments on just war theory spark a timely conversation about self-defense, civilian harm, AI warfare, and whether Christian ethics needs fresh application in modern conflict.Marriage Shapes Young Men: New research suggests that having marriage on the horizon can motivate young men toward work, maturity, commitment, and lower-risk choices.Church And State Confusion: A debate over “separation of church and state” opens up deeper questions about religious liberty, political power, and why Christians should care about protecting the church from corruption.Screen-Free Summer Reset: A radical family experiment in removing screens offers practical hope for helping kids rediscover books, outdoor play, creativity, and real-life community.Listener Question: AI Fear Or Wisdom: A listener question about Anthropic's AI blackmail test raises the need for Christians to avoid panic while still taking the risks of human-made technology seriously.Listener Question: Sexuality And Church Leadership: A listener's question about LGBTQ-affirming views in worship leadership leads to a nuanced distinction between disagreement among church members and qualifications for spiritual leadership.==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.   Find all episodes of Think Biblically at: https://www.biola.edu/think-biblically.   To submit comments, ask questions, or make suggestions on issues you'd like us to cover or guests you'd like us to have on the podcast, email us at thinkbiblically@biola.edu.

The kingdom of God stands in direct opposition to a world consumed by personal ambition. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar explore what it truly means to live with a kingdom mindset and why selfishness is one of the greatest obstacles to faithful Christian living. They explain that kingdom-mindedness means living under God's rule, reign, and authority rather than building a personal kingdom centered on recognition or control. True freedom comes when believers stop striving to make a name for themselves and instead focus on the glory of God and the good of His kingdom. The cross itself represents a complete transfer of allegiance, with every area of life falling under the authority of Christ.The guys point to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane as the perfect example of surrender to the Father's will. Even in anguish, Jesus submitted Himself completely, showing that suffering and obedience are not incompatible. They also reflect on David's life, whose continual repentance and worship revealed a heart shaped by the kingdom of God. Kingdom-mindedness produces humility, worship, and a desire to be searched and refined by the Lord. The guys emphasize that believers often become distracted by earthly concerns, preventing them from simply resting in God's presence and delighting in Him.The conversation then turns to how kingdom living shapes daily priorities and relationships. The kingdom of God is marked by righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit, fostering a new disposition toward sin, obedience, and community. The guys explain that Christians are not meant to live in isolation but in fellowship, learning from those who have walked faithfully before them. God has given His people resources, wisdom, and testimonies of His faithfulness to strengthen them through every season. Kingdom-minded believers recognize that their lives are not their own and that every opportunity exists for God's glory.Finally, the guys discuss the importance of resting in God's kingdom rather than being consumed by the world's noise and anxiety. Modern life is full of distractions that constantly pull attention away from God, making silence and stillness increasingly rare. The guys encourage believers to slow down, seek God first, and recognize His care in both Scripture and creation. Kingdom-mindedness means fully trusting the King, knowing that He provides, sustains, and rules with perfect goodness. In the end, believers are reminded that their ultimate inheritance is not found in earthly success but in belonging to Christ and awaiting the King's return.Send us Fan MailThanks for listening!

Christians are wondering about the modern State of Israel and contemporary Jewish people. Are they related to the biblical kingdom of Israel and the ancient Jewish people of the Scriptures? Others question whether Jewish people are only God’s people of yesterday, or do they have an ongoing place in God’s plan?

Should Christians love their own nation more than other nations? Does patriotism conflict with the Great Commission? And what does the Bible teach about our responsibilities to family, church, community, and nation? In this special in-studio episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard is joined by guest host Alex Kocman for a discussion on patriotism, nationalism, missions, and the Christian doctrine of rightly ordered loves . Drawing from Scripture, Augustine, Aquinas, and the historic Christian tradition, they explore whether Christians have unique obligations toward their own people and nation, how patriotism differs from nationalism, and why love for those nearest to us does not negate our responsibility to the nations.Topics include:Christian patriotismOrdered lovesThe Great CommissionNationalism and "America First"Civil magistrates and public lifeFamily, church, and nationBiblical duties and loyaltiesMissions and evangelismCan love of country be a virtue? Or does it inevitably compete with loyalty to Christ? This episode tackles one of the most debated questions facing Christians today.

Allie examines the Texas Senate race between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico and tackles the tough question: How should Christians vote when both candidates have serious flaws? She breaks down Paxton's moral failings and past scandals alongside Talarico's radically progressive positions—including his claims that “God is non-binary,” strong support for abortion, gender transitions for minors, prison abolition, and open-border policies—while evaluating their records on life, family, borders, and justice through a biblical lens. Additionally, Allie interviews her brother, Justin Simmons, who is the US Attorney for the Western District of Texas. Justin details his mission to crack down on drug smuggling, human trafficking and fraud, while urging others to improve their communities rather than choosing a life of self-gratification. Gov.

Many Christians say, "Just preach the gospel—God will do the rest." But Scripture paints a richer picture: the gospel is the power of God for salvation, and God still calls us to reason, explain, and persuade. In this episode, J. Warner Wallace walks through key passages—from Romans and Proverbs to the book of Acts—to show how Jesus' first followers actually shared the message. You'll see why Peter, Paul, and the other apostles worked so hard to contextualize the same unchanging gospel for very different audiences, from devout Jews to skeptical philosophers and hostile officials. J. Warner then turns to our modern, post‑Christian culture and makes the case that wise persuasion and careful "translation" are not optional add‑ons, but part of biblical evangelism. You'll learn why trusting the Spirit and the power of the message should actually motivate you to think harder about your words, your tone, and your starting point in every conversation.

Was the Book of Revelation written during Nero's reign—or decades later under Domitian? In Episode 9 of the Revelation Series, Jay Rogers examines the evidence behind one of the most important debates in biblical prophecy: the date of Revelation. If Revelation was written before AD 70, it may have been addressing events unfolding in real time—including Nero's persecution, the coming destruction of Jerusalem, and the crisis facing the first-century church. In this episode: The still-standing Temple in Revelation 11 The meaning of the "one is" statement in Revelation 17 The sequence of Roman emperors Early church testimony and historical evidence Syriac manuscript traditions The significance of Nero's 42-month persecution Was Revelation written as a warning to Christians living through an approaching judgment—or as a prophecy about events far in the future? This episode explores the evidence and why the dating of Revelation changes how the entire book is understood.

Allie unpacks the state of Pride Month 2026, contrasting the cultural push for LGBTQ celebration with God's unchanging design for marriage, sexuality, and family. She examines aggressive activism targeting children — from Boston library drag queen story times and taxpayer-funded “trans period Pride” events to corporate Pride collections and Netflix kids' programming — while highlighting encouraging shifts in public opinion, state laws protecting minors, corporate retreats, and legal pushback. Allie reminds Christians why we cannot affirm what Scripture calls sin, grounding the conversation in biblical truth about pride, redemption, and God's good creation of male and female. Plus, she responds to voicemails with wisdom on IVF and navigating fear about having more children with a special-needs child. Share the Arrows 2026 is on October 10 in Dallas, Texas!
