Washington Watch Reporter Mary Stackhouse reviews President Trump's prime-time speech on election interference, DHS Secretary Mullin's follow-up press conference, and provides an update on Iran and the recent U.S. strikes on Iran's infrastructure.
Can you explain why you believe what you believe? In this episode, Bucky sits down with Dr. David Closson, Director of the Center for Biblical Worldview, to discuss why so few Americans consistently think and live from a biblical worldview. Together they explore how worldviews shape everything from moral decisions to public policy, why many churches avoid addressing cultural issues, and how believers can move beyond sound bites to think biblically. You'll also discover how the upcoming Worldview Workshop at North Hall Church can equip you with practical tools, biblical confidence, and resources to defend your faith and stand firm in an increasingly confused culture.
