About this Episode

Segment 1 • Today’s question: which story makes your eyes roll hardest… and your heart ache most? • A university in the UK slaps a “sexual violence” warning on the Bible. • George Clooney’s new movie romanticizes assisted suicide — culture calling evil “good.” The painful stories continue… Segment 2 • King Charles dedicates a UK memorial to the LGBT movement. • Parents in Britain are taking self-defense classes to defend against their own children. • A Pennsylvania pastor points a gun at his congregation as a sermon illustration. Segment 3 • Sebastian Gorka calls Trump’s shooting a “Christ-like moment.” • Todd and Josh Williamson warn: when politics becomes religion, biblical theology withers. • Comparing any political leader to Christ cheapens the cross and confuses the gospel. Segment 4 • Jesus volunteered His life like no one else or could. • Politicians invoking the cross for clout rob Jesus of His glory. • The takeaway: when the world mocks truth, Christians must guard the gospel’s weight and clarity. ___ Thanks for listening!
