Are Israel and Hezbollah escalating their conflict to avoid war? Sep 25, 2024

Show notes

According to reports, Israel and Hezbollah are escalating their conflict to persuade the other side to take steps that will avert all-out war. Both are using conflict to prevent a greater conflict, but this strategy is not limited to the Middle East. Today, we discuss three ways humans deal with conflict, and then point to the only solution that brings lasting peace.

What does God think about the escalating Israel–Hezbollah conflict? Three theological options Sep 24, 2024

Show notes

Israel struck Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon today as the Iran-backed group attacked military facilities in northern Israel. The day before, Israeli strikes killed more than 490 people in the deadliest barrage since the 2006 Israel–Hezbollah war. If Lebanon is not part of the Promised Land intended by God for Abraham’s descendants in Genesis, how then does God view the war? Today we discuss three theological options for war and a practical response.

Is “all-out war” coming between Israel and Hezbollah? If so, why? Sep 23, 2024

Show notes

Israeli warplanes carried out dozens of strikes on southern Lebanon after warning people living in or near buildings used by Hezbollah to evacuate. This after a Friday airstrike on a Beirut suburb took out “an entire class of senior leaders of the militant group’s most elite fighting force.” Israel has never owned land claimed by Hezbollah in Lebanon, so why is the terrorist group in conflict with the Jewish state? The answer illustrates the power of ideology and invites us to experience personally the transforming reality of God’s love.

The rise and fall of Apollo Quiboloy and other false messiahs: Choosing the God who has chosen you Sep 20, 2024

Show notes

Apollo Quiboloy, leader of the cult Kingdom of Jesus Christ, was arrested on charges of rape, sex trafficking, fraud, and smuggling. What makes his arrest particularly troubling, however, is the legacy he leaves behind as the leader of a cult in which he claimed to be the “Appointed Son of God.” The common thread running through most cults is the idea that the best way to relate to God is to go through those who claim to be closer to him than we are. And that impulse is hardly limited to the Philippines.

Israel bombs Lebanon the day after walkie-talkies explode Sep 19, 2024

Show notes

Israel bombed Hezbollah targets and a weapons storage facility in southern Lebanon this morning. Yesterday, the terrorist group was hit by a second wave of exploding devices as walkie-talkies blew up in homes, cars, and operatives’ hands across Lebanon. The use of exploding personal devices is apparently intended to show Hezbollah leaders that they are personally vulnerable in a war with the Jewish nation. We engage with this news to the degree that it affects us personally. Today, we explore why communal rather than individual truth is vital to our flourishing as a society.

Federal Reserve expected to announce interest rate cuts today: A reflection on the transforming power of good news Sep 18, 2024

Show notes

The Federal Reserve is expected to announce interest rate cuts today. Research shows that we react more strongly to negative than to positive information, which explains why there’s more bad news than good news in the news. Our “fight or flight” instincts may attune us to threats in the news, but new research shows that being “hopeful and forward-looking” is especially effective in combating stress and anxiety. How can we be people of hope in a hurting world?

Show notes

During Sunday’s apparent assassination attempt against Donald Trump, the suspected gunman hid near Mr. Trump’s golf course for roughly twelve hours before a Secret Service agent spotted him and opened fire. Pope Francis recently stated that religions are “like different languages in order to arrive at God.” Today we discuss why faith in Jesus is essential for salvation and how to choose courage to share the gospel out of compassion for the lost.

Are Haitian immigrants eating pets in Springfield? Why our culture ignores biblical morality Sep 16, 2024

Show notes

In his debate with Kamala Harris last week, former President Donald Trump stated that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were abducting and eating pets. The comment provoked a furor that continues unabated this morning, but few reporters are focusing on the religious context of this issue. Our secularized culture, by ignoring the foundational significance of religious truth, imperils its future.
