GUEST: SOEREN KERN, Geopolitical Analyst and Writing Fellow for Middle East Forum

Hamas, an Islamic militant group bent on Israel’s destruction, launches a surprise attack on Oct. 7 from their territory in Gaza into southern Israel, butchering 1200 civilians and taking captive hundreds more. The Israeli military responds by invading Gaza to decimate Hamas and bring home the captives.

And who do students and professors on campuses all over America rise up to oppose? Israel!

This is the Red-Green axis—the Reds (Leftists, Marxists, Communists) and the Greens (Islamists) share common cause in their hatred for the Biblical God, the God of the Jews and the God of Christians, who built Western Civilization and the accompanying values of marriage, family, free speech and markets, and private property. It must be burned down.

So they rage. And God, who sits in the heavens laughs…“But as for Me, I have installed My King upon Zion, My holy mountain.” Psalm 2

Soeren Kern, a Christian geopolitical analyst and writing fellow for Middle East Forum joins us on The Christian Worldview to explain what is going on in the Middle East and how it’s related to Russia invading Ukraine and China rattling its sabres with Taiwan. We will also discuss the response (or lack of response) by pastors and churches.

GUEST: HALEY ERICKSON, Christian Nutrition Coach and Personal Trainer

While there is great diversity in the world—religion, culture, socio-economic, geographic, personal experience, family background, education, etc.—there are some things we all have in common. One of them is a physical body.

It’s interesting to note that God spoke everything into existence except for Adam (man), which God formed the “dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being” (Gen. 2:7). God didn’t have to create a physical body for Adam but He did. And that’s significant.

We often focus on the immaterial part of our life—our soul and spirit—but let’s consider that God designed a material, physical body to “embody” the soul and spirit.

So how should we view and care for the body God gives us? As temporary, decaying, and therefore fairly unimportant? Thus, “eat, drink, and be sedentary for tomorrow we die”.

Or should we view and care for the body as a “temple of the Holy Spirit” (1 Cor. 6)? And what exactly does that mean in practical ways with regard to eating, exercise, and rest.

We hope you tune in this weekend to The Christian Worldview, as we will examine the under-examined topic of our physical bodies.

GUEST: ALEX NEWMAN, journalist and author, Indoctrinating Our Children to Death

It was a highly-informative and captivating evening Friday, April 12 at The Christian Worldview Speaker Series event with Alex Newman at Beacon of Hope Church in St. Paul as he spoke on “The Push for Global Governance” and how issues like public education, environmentalism, health care, monetary policy, technology, well, most everything is used to accomplish man’s dystopian dream of global governance.

Their mentality: “If only the elite, educated, and intelligent amongst us could unite the world around a global leader, then we could bring peace, eradicate poverty, and achieve equity for all.” They work toward all religions uniting in this pursuit, believing that all have “shared values” like doing good to their fellow man.

We will be making Alex’s message that evening available soon. It was about 50 minutes and we don’t have enough time to play that today. But we do have time to play the Q & A with Alex, which followed his message. Several topics he wasn’t able to get to in his message were brought out in the Q & A, such as immigration, voting integrity, technology and artificial intelligence, and the current wars are in Ukraine and Israel.

You can still order Alex’s new book Indoctrinating Our Children to Death for a donation of any amount to The Christian Worldview. Lots of attendees got the book at the event and Alex was nice to do an impromptu book signing.
