Pastors' Point of View Ep. 395 with Dr. Andy Woods. “Prophecy Update”The signs are accelerating. Anti-Semitism is exploding globally—from UK courtrooms acquitting violent activists to biased appointments on peace boards. Meanwhile, Iran edges closer to nuclear capability as Israel stands increasingly alone. Sound familiar? It should. Zechariah 12:3 warns that "all the nations of the earth will be gathered against" Jerusalem.We're watching Ezekiel 38-39 stage-setting in real time. Israel is back in the land, looking more Jewish than ever. Islamic nations are aligning. The world is turning against God's chosen people—even from unexpected corners of the political spectrum. But here's the hope: Psalm 121:4 reminds us "He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep."Before the wrath comes, Jesus promises to rescue His church (Titus 2:13). Are you watching? Are you ready? The blessed hope is our anchor in these prophetic times.#ProphecyUpdate #EndTimes #Israel #GogMagog #BlessedHope

In his book Generation to Generation, family therapist and Rabbi Edwin Friedman introduced the phrase “a non-anxious presence.” Friedman’s thesis, written in 1985, is that “the climate of contemporary America has become so chronically anxious that our society has gone into an emotional regression that is toxic to well-defined leadership.” Friedman focused on how chronic anxiety spreads within a system—a family, a workplace, a congregation. Yet in the same way, a leader can offer a non-anxious presence that will spread through a system, becoming a person of peace in the middle of a storm. Psalm 4 is a psalm of David, written in the middle of one of life’s storms. David was in the grip of anxiety. So, he cried out to God: “Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer” (v. 1). While he was fearful for his life, he was also aware that his followers were fearful too: “Many, Lord, are asking, ‘Who will bring us prosperity?’” (v. 6). David’s decision to trust God created a non-anxious presence in the presence of anxiety! “In peace I will lie down and sleep,” he said. David could rest, because “you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety” (v. 8). We too can rest in the non-anxious presence God provides. We can spread His peace wherever we go.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast for February 12th, 2026! In today's episode, your host Hunter invites us to join him on day 43 of our journey through the Bible. We tackle the challenging passages of Leviticus 18 and 19, exploring God's call to holiness, justice, and care for others—even when the text feels mysterious or difficult to comprehend. The episode moves through Psalm 13's heartfelt cries for God's presence and then dives into Acts 19, where Paul boldly proclaims the arrival of God's kingdom in Ephesus, stirring both transformation and turmoil. Hunter reminds us of the importance of curiosity, perseverance, and faith, calling us to let God's agenda rule our lives. The episode closes with uplifting prayers for peace, unity, and strength, encouraging us to keep pressing on—even through the hard parts of scripture. Join Hunter as we warm our hearts by the fires of God's love, learn together, and remember: you are loved, no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The message hasn't changed. The kingdom of God is here. That's what Paul was persistently preaching in Ephesus, and it's what we need to hear again today. Hunter points us to Acts 19, where Paul boldly argues about the kingdom of God—not just for a moment, but for months, even years, so that all who would listen, Jew and Greek alike, might understand. What is this kingdom that Paul proclaims? It's the reality that the King has come—Jesus. His arrival signals the breaking in of something new, a kingdom not built on the agendas of this world, not subject to its idols, not content to serve anyone's interests but God's own. In Ephesus, Paul's message disrupted more than religious routines; it overturned business interests, social orders, and deeply held allegiances. Like Demetrius the silversmith observed, this news, this gospel, this announcement wasn't just an add-on to the existing way of things. It threatened to derail the very agenda of Artemis—of the competing gods and pursuits of the world. And here's the truth: God has an agenda for your life too, and it isn't always easy or comfortable. It might mean things get turned over, that familiar structures come undone, and that priorities are rearranged. When God invades, things don't stay the same. But He is fully committed: committed to His own purpose, yes, but also to you—rooting you deeply in the circle of His love, bringing you into the Kingdom for which you were made. The invitation, then, is to let His agenda become your own, to step into the joy, freedom, and purpose found only in the reign of King Jesus. This is where barriers come down, lives are changed, and communities are renewed. This is the place of true belonging, adoption, forgiveness, and love. That's my prayer for myself, for my family, for you. May we all see His kingdom come in every part of our lives. May the joy, freedom, and love of Christ rule in us. May we live as citizens of His Kingdom, knowing that in all things—we are loved. No doubt about it. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

What do you do when the people who taught you about Jesus let you down? In a generation that has watched spiritual leaders fall publicly and painfully, trust doesn't come easily. Maybe you've asked, Is everyone in the church a hypocrite? Or maybe you're carrying quiet church hurt and wondering if it's even worth going back. In this episode, we talk honestly about it and turn to Scripture to see what God actually says about flawed leaders, accountability, forgiveness, wisdom, and healing. The Bible reminds us: The church has always been filled with imperfect people (Romans 3:23; Acts 6; Galatians 2). Leaders are held accountable (James 3:1; Ezekiel 34). Forgiveness is hard but healing (Colossians 3:13). Wisdom matters—sometimes you stay, sometimes you leave (James 1). And ultimately, our trust belongs in God, not in human leaders (Psalm 118:8). If you've ever struggled to trust the church again, this conversation is for you. Helpful Resources: Book: Fractured Faith Book: All Your Life Watch the conversation on YouTube here.

Are you overly critical of yourself? Perhaps of others? And how do you respond to negative, critical people? In this episode, we discuss how to deal with a critical spirit – whether you are critical of yourself or others, or you have to deal with judgmental people. We discuss the misconceptions around Jesus' command "do not judge" and how a critical spirit can show up in our lives and relationships. After discussing the emotional and relational damage a critical spirit can cause in our lives, we share practical, biblical steps for breaking free from self-criticism and judgmental attitudes, and for handling negative people.

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. Psalm 139:23-24 – Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Proverbs 15:1 – “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 19:11 -- Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense. 1 Corinthians 13:5 – “love keeps no record of wrongs.” Proverbs 13:18 - If you ignore criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace; if you accept correction, you will be honored.
