Episode Details

What is happening in the Christian world right now?

In this news roundup, Jon Harris covers a wide range of stories affecting Christians, including the collapse of the G3 Church Network, Phil Johnson's recent comments on Christian nationalism, a controversial surrogacy battle, Skillet's decision to drop its opening act, the Protestant Accountability website, and the death of Dolly Parton.

We also discuss whether Christians should be more politically involved, the relationship between political action and evangelism, the problem of evil and natural disasters, terrorism in New York, declining marriage and dating among young people, the George Floyd case, and recent developments involving Israel.

Throughout the episode, the goal is not simply to react to the news, but to think through these issues from a Christian worldview.
