“Blasphemous” social media image of Donald Trump deleted Apr 14, 2026

Show notes

President Trump posted an image Sunday evening on Truth Social depicting himself that many across the political spectrum protested as sacrilegious. One writer called the post “blasphemous” and “reprehensible.” Conservative pundit Carmine Sabia stated, “As a Christian, I’m offended by this, and I don’t know how any Christian would not be offended by this. There is only one Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Mocking him is not OK.” Though the post has now been deleted, its caption claimed, “America has been sick for a long time. President Trump is healing this nation.” No, he’s not. But not for the reasons you might think.

Blockading the Strait of Hormuz and a ceasefire in Ukraine: Stress Awareness Month and the path to transforming hope Apr 13, 2026

Show notes

US stock futures fell and oil prices rose this morning after President Trump announced a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. His statement came after marathon talks with Iran failed to reach an agreement that would end the war. In better news, Russia and Ukraine observed a truce in their war across the Orthodox Easter weekend, but only for the weekend. Did you know that April is Stress Awareness Month? You won’t be surprised to learn that apparently unsolvable problems like war not only cause significant stress, but worrying about them also impairs cognitive functioning and makes things worse. But when we choose the opposite of control, we discover the transforming hope available to every anxious heart today, including yours.

Is the “Ghost Murmur” miracle tech or a military myth? Why the device that helped save an American pilot is sparking controversy today Apr 10, 2026

Show notes

New information continues to emerge in the remarkable story of how the American pilot shot down in Iran was rescued on Easter. In the press conference announcing the operation’s success, President Trump alluded to a top-secret device called the “Ghost Murmur” and, depending on who you talk to, it is either a quantum leap in our ability to detect electromagnetic signals like a human heartbeat or a gross exaggeration based more in science fiction than in real science. Most of us understand all too well how difficult it can be to filter out the noise in our lives today.

Artemis 2 is “returning to a planet they have cheered up”: The path to sustaining hope in uncertain times Apr 09, 2026

Show notes

The Artemis 2 crew is scheduled to return to Earth tomorrow, splashing down off the coast of San Diego, California, around 8:07 p.m. ET. As the Economist reports, they are “returning to a planet they have cheered up.” We have needed to be “cheered up,” to be sure. However, while psychiatrist and philosopher Iain McGilchrist agrees that our cultural crisis is first and foremost spiritual, he warns that a spiritual approach that is individual and purely personal will not be enough to meet the crises of the day.

President Trump announces two-week ceasefire in Iran war Apr 08, 2026

Show notes

President Trump announced on Truth Social late yesterday afternoon that he would “suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks” subject to Iran’s “agreeing to the complete, immediate, and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz.” But while much with Iran has changed in a day, much has not. Earlier this week, Iranian officials had called on young people to form human chains around the country’s power plants. Iran’s leaders are once again willing to sacrifice their people to protect their regime. Conversely, they believe that America will not attack civilians as they do. What explains the difference? The answer points to the one change in Iran that can secure its true peace in the present and beyond.

Article Description

Four astronauts aboard Artemis 2 are on their way home this morning. They broke the record for human travel on Monday afternoon, flying more than 248,655 miles from Earth and surpassing NASA’s Apollo 13 mission in 1970. Victor Glover Jr. is the pilot for the mission and was the first Black astronaut to complete a long-term stay aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The part of Victor Glover’s story I want to highlight today, however, is his faith. In an interview, he stated, “In the military, there’s a saying that there are no atheists in foxholes. There aren’t any on top of rockets, either, I would think.”

How a US airman was rescued behind enemy lines in Iran Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

Last Friday, an American F-15E fighter jet was hit by incoming fire and crashed inside Iran. One of the two crew members was quickly rescued. According to the Wall Street Journal, what came next was “one of the most complex search-and-rescue efforts for the US Air Force in enemy territory in decades.” Sunday morning, President Trump announced that the “highly respected colonel” had been rescued and is safe. Why would the US go to such lengths to recover a single pilot? The answer says much about our nation’s past and our collective future.

How pilots responded when their jet engine erupted in fire: A Good Friday reflection Apr 03, 2026

Show notes

Delta Flight 104, with 272 passengers and 14 crew, had just departed São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport on Sunday when flames shot out from its left engine. Passengers screamed for the pilots to “turn around” the jet. They immediately declared an emergency, shut down the affected engine, and circled back to the airport, landing safely shortly after departure. Video from inside the cabin shows passengers erupting into applause and cheers when the aircraft came to a stop. If you could speak to the pilots, what would you say to them today? A year from today? On this Good Friday, we discuss how God is both love and holy for paying our debts and why the price of our salvation was death in the first place.

Why young adults believe revival is coming to America: A Maundy Thursday reflection Apr 02, 2026

Show notes

Recent studies show that eighty million Americans believe a spiritual revival is coming to our nation. Of those participating in the survey, young adults (statistically the most unchurched generation in history) are surprisingly the most likely to agree. Jennie Allen, founder of IF:Gathering and Gather25, said the desperation many young people feel is fueling their spiritual openness, recalling one student who said, “I never knew God loved me.” Maundy Thursday reminds us that Jesus included even those who would fail him at the Last Supper—and he invites us as his bride, for “as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.”

Supreme Court rules against ban on “conversion therapy”: A Holy Wednesday reflection Apr 01, 2026

Show notes

The US Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Colorado’s ban on LGBTQ “conversion therapy” for young people infringes on the free speech rights of a Christian counselor. Their ruling reversed a lower court’s decision that had upheld the law. However, the news is not all positive on the religious liberty front. But if you’re not a Christian counselor who seeks to share biblical truth with your clients or an evangelical living in the Middle East, Finland, or India, such threats may seem too distant to be personal. Here’s why they’re not, and why this day in Holy Week is especially significant for our souls.
