Well.
00:00:04.596 --> 00:00:05.030
Good evening.
00:00:05.030 --> 00:00:06.031
I'm alan jackson, and welcome to nashville.
00:00:06.031 --> 00:00:08.066
Tonight
00:00:08.066 --> 00:00:08.667
We have
00:00:08.667 --> 00:00:09.367
A special edition of the show
00:00:09.367 --> 00:00:10.802
Because we're celebrating our one year anniversary.
00:00:10.802 --> 00:00:14.339
Now i'm the host, but there's a whole
00:00:14.339 --> 00:00:16.508
Big team of people who work to put this on each day.
00:00:16.508 --> 00:00:19.811
We could all be doing our thing, but unless you tune in
00:00:19.811 --> 00:00:23.081
Or watch the show on youtube,
00:00:23.081 --> 00:00:25.283
Truthfully, we're a very little use.
00:00:25.283 --> 00:00:27.652
Fortunately, you found us and you shared
00:00:27.652 --> 00:00:29.988
This unique program with other family and friends.
00:00:29.988 --> 00:00:33.592
Every month we have new viewers and more emails coming in.
00:00:33.592 --> 00:00:37.696
I'm more convinced than ever
00:00:37.696 --> 00:00:39.464
That america is hungry for the truth.
00:00:39.464 --> 00:00:42.334
You know, you can find news anywhere,
00:00:42.334 --> 00:00:44.536
But it takes a close eye to find news
00:00:44.536 --> 00:00:46.638
Based on truth that's linked to a biblical worldview.
00:00:46.638 --> 00:00:49.841
Well, in this time of great change,
00:00:50.642 --> 00:00:52.611
I can't say enough
00:00:52.611 --> 00:00:53.778
About how important it is for each of us to be informed,
00:00:53.778 --> 00:00:57.048
While others try to get you to watch by using breaking news
00:00:57.048 --> 00:01:00.252
Alerts, tricks
00:01:00.252 --> 00:01:01.453
From the entertainment world, or stories
00:01:01.453 --> 00:01:03.455
That are better run in people magazine.
00:01:03.455 --> 00:01:05.790
We aim to keep our coverage of what really matters,
00:01:05.790 --> 00:01:08.560
And to do so,
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:09.794
We let the experts have adequate time to answer the questions
00:01:09.794 --> 00:01:12.564
So you can hear their inside expertise.
00:01:12.564 --> 00:01:15.967
More than a few have said to us
00:01:15.967 --> 00:01:17.369
As we get ready for the program.
00:01:17.369 --> 00:01:19.404
You mean i don't have to talk in 15 seconds?
00:01:19.404 --> 00:01:21.373
Sound bites.
00:01:21.373 --> 00:01:22.174
It's a time of great change and big potential.
00:01:23.074 --> 00:01:25.977
And when that's aimed
00:01:25.977 --> 00:01:26.945
In the right direction, the world benefits.
00:01:26.945 --> 00:01:29.581
Well, here in nashville, we benefit
00:01:29.581 --> 00:01:31.416
Greatly from the feedback you give us.
00:01:31.416 --> 00:01:34.052
So tonight
00:01:34.052 --> 00:01:35.053
I'm going to go through
00:01:35.053 --> 00:01:36.154
As many of your comments and questions as possible.
00:01:36.154 --> 00:01:39.491
You've covered issues here at home and internationally.
00:01:39.491 --> 00:01:42.294
You've also sent questions
00:01:42.294 --> 00:01:43.428
About how this change fits with our biblical values.
00:01:43.428 --> 00:01:46.531
Well, that's when i put my pastor hat on for a bit.
00:01:46.531 --> 00:01:49.467
So let's get started with this special one year anniversary
00:01:49.467 --> 00:01:52.437
Show with your questions and comments about the issues.
00:01:52.437 --> 00:01:55.674
We're going to start with the domestic issues,
00:01:55.674 --> 00:01:57.375
The questions here at home.
00:01:57.375 --> 00:01:58.910
The team is organized your emails
00:01:58.910 --> 00:02:00.779
And questions into some buckets.
00:02:00.779 --> 00:02:02.647
All domestic issues will start with immigration.
00:02:02.647 --> 00:02:05.884
They've come from across the country, from hattiesburg,
00:02:05.884 --> 00:02:08.954
Mississippi, from east vale, california,
00:02:08.954 --> 00:02:12.324
From booneville.
00:02:12.324 --> 00:02:14.459
Booneville has a question.
00:02:14.459 --> 00:02:16.461
The immigration questions kind of short
00:02:16.461 --> 00:02:18.096
Out into two general categories how to deal with
00:02:18.096 --> 00:02:20.665
Illegal immigrants versus illegal immigrants.
00:02:20.665 --> 00:02:23.802
It's a really important distinction.
00:02:23.802 --> 00:02:26.271
There's several emails
00:02:26.271 --> 00:02:27.405
You sent from people
00:02:27.405 --> 00:02:28.540
Who went through the legal immigration process.
00:02:28.540 --> 00:02:31.776
It's expensive. it's time consuming.
00:02:31.776 --> 00:02:33.645
They followed the rules, and there's a great deal
00:02:33.645 --> 00:02:36.114
Of frustration with welcoming people
00:02:36.114 --> 00:02:38.283
Who've come here illegally with wide open arms.
00:02:38.283 --> 00:02:42.454
A lot of confusion in the church on this one, folks.
00:02:42.454 --> 00:02:45.023
Anything that begins with illegal should give us pause.
00:02:45.023 --> 00:02:48.126
Whether it's an illegal
00:02:48.126 --> 00:02:49.060
Withdrawal from the bank that's stealing,
00:02:49.060 --> 00:02:51.663
If it's an illegal immigrant, that's stealing as well.
00:02:51.663 --> 00:02:55.800
They came into the country without due process.
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:58.003
I don't believe due process needs to be extended
00:02:58.003 --> 00:03:01.172
In the traditional way as we're sorting that out.
00:03:01.172 --> 00:03:04.776
The other question in that immigration
00:03:04.776 --> 00:03:06.478
Issue has to do with biblical compassion.
00:03:06.478 --> 00:03:09.748
There are questions.
00:03:10.215 --> 00:03:11.082
Is it appropriate or inappropriate?
00:03:11.082 --> 00:03:13.685
The bible gives us some instructions on this.
00:03:13.685 --> 00:03:15.854
You know,
00:03:15.854 --> 00:03:16.688
If we find the stranger amongst us,
00:03:16.688 --> 00:03:17.889
They say we should treat them with respect and dignity.
00:03:17.889 --> 00:03:20.625
But if we're invaded, that's
00:03:20.625 --> 00:03:22.160
A completely different response altogether.
00:03:22.160 --> 00:03:24.763
What we've been witnessing in
00:03:24.763 --> 00:03:25.930
These recent years has been an invasion.
00:03:25.930 --> 00:03:28.033
That's not a time for compassion.
00:03:28.033 --> 00:03:29.868
That's a time to defend ourselves
00:03:29.868 --> 00:03:31.536
And our families and our communities.
00:03:31.536 --> 00:03:33.772
The law will help us with that.
00:03:33.772 --> 00:03:36.274
Then you should have
00:03:36.274 --> 00:03:37.275
A whole bunch of questions about the economy
00:03:37.275 --> 00:03:38.877
From texas and arizona, from pennsylvania, from florida.
00:03:38.877 --> 00:03:43.181
The questions are all pretty similar.
00:03:43.982 --> 00:03:45.850
A lot of them had to do with dodge,
00:03:45.850 --> 00:03:48.019
And there seems to be just,
00:03:48.019 --> 00:03:50.422
A complete sense of shock and awe at the waste
00:03:50.422 --> 00:03:54.559
And fraud, the blatant stealing that's been taking place
00:03:54.559 --> 00:03:58.363
In our nation,
00:03:58.363 --> 00:03:59.864
And an overwhelming sense
00:03:59.864 --> 00:04:00.965
Of gratitude for those that are exposing it.
00:04:00.965 --> 00:04:04.302
I think what's going
00:04:04.302 --> 00:04:05.403
To be required of us is the courage to live that out.
00:04:05.403 --> 00:04:08.973
The reality is, there have been so many people
00:04:08.973 --> 00:04:10.809
With their snout in the trough
00:04:10.809 --> 00:04:12.744
That there's
00:04:12.744 --> 00:04:13.945
A lot of complaining that the things are being taken away.
00:04:13.945 --> 00:04:17.182
Folks, we are $37 trillion in debt.
00:04:17.182 --> 00:04:20.518
We are bankrupt.
00:04:20.518 --> 00:04:22.120
If we don't stop that and start saving some money.
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:24.656
We will lose our freedom and hand our children
00:04:24.656 --> 00:04:26.791
And grandchildren a mess that they can't overcome.
00:04:26.791 --> 00:04:30.295
I believe doge is a gift to us.
00:04:30.295 --> 00:04:32.530
The current spat between elon and president trump
00:04:32.530 --> 00:04:35.700
Feels pretty familiar to me.
00:04:35.700 --> 00:04:37.001
It's two sets of values.
00:04:37.001 --> 00:04:38.803
Elon was a consultant brought to town for a few days
00:04:38.803 --> 00:04:41.473
To help provide some guidance and insight and understanding.
00:04:41.473 --> 00:04:44.876
Trump standing in the seat of the one
00:04:44.876 --> 00:04:46.444
Who has to ultimately own the accountability.
00:04:46.444 --> 00:04:48.780
Those agendas compete in almost every setting.
00:04:48.780 --> 00:04:51.082
It's not surprising to me
00:04:51.082 --> 00:04:52.317
That there's some tension between them,
00:04:52.317 --> 00:04:54.252
But i think they'll find their way to work together.
00:04:54.252 --> 00:04:55.987
It'll be better for all of us if they do.
00:04:55.987 --> 00:04:58.123
Then you should have questions about biden's
00:04:59.023 --> 00:05:00.558
Administration, from tennessee, from all across the country.
00:05:00.558 --> 00:05:05.130
You know, i want to respect the office of the president
00:05:06.264 --> 00:05:08.800
And those who work around it,
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:09.934
No matter what party they come from.
00:05:09.934 --> 00:05:12.103
I think we'll wait for history to give us a full evaluation.
00:05:12.103 --> 00:05:14.639
But at the current moment, biden's administration
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.674
Seems to be one that was defined by fraud,
00:05:16.674 --> 00:05:19.110
Lawlessness and deception.
00:05:19.110 --> 00:05:20.845
We simply weren't told the truth.
00:05:20.845 --> 00:05:23.415
President biden, we saw his decline physically, mentally,
00:05:23.415 --> 00:05:27.585
Whether or not he had the ability to lead
00:05:27.585 --> 00:05:28.953
The country was in question.
00:05:28.953 --> 00:05:30.622
The fraudulent cover up of that was a widespread
00:05:30.622 --> 00:05:33.725
Effort across many levels of our culture.
00:05:33.725 --> 00:05:36.861
It's unsettling.
00:05:36.861 --> 00:05:38.496
I'm grateful that the truth is being told these days,
00:05:38.496 --> 00:05:41.399
And that we have leadership that's more aware.
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.201
It certainly makes us stronger, both at home, domestically
00:05:43.201 --> 00:05:46.771
And on the international front.
00:05:46.771 --> 00:05:48.406
That followed up by trump's administration.
00:05:49.340 --> 00:05:51.943
And on this one, there's more questions around this than any.
00:05:51.943 --> 00:05:54.813
They came from virginia.
00:05:54.813 --> 00:05:57.315
They came from south carolina.
00:05:57.315 --> 00:05:59.751
They came from texas.
00:05:59.751 --> 00:06:01.986
They are from across the country.
00:06:01.986 --> 00:06:03.655
Northbridge, california, wichita falls from virginia.
00:06:03.655 --> 00:06:07.725
You had a lot of question.
00:06:08.293 --> 00:06:09.260
Laguna woods, california.
00:06:09.260 --> 00:06:10.995
I think we ought to go a road show.
00:06:10.995 --> 00:06:12.464
Columbus, ohio.
00:06:12.464 --> 00:06:15.300
The majority of these were about the unrelenting opposition
00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:18.503
To president trump, you know, in his first administration.
00:06:18.503 --> 00:06:22.307
We were told that he was a russian asset,
00:06:22.307 --> 00:06:25.109
That he had colluded with the russians.
00:06:25.109 --> 00:06:27.345
And there was this unending drumbeat on the evening news,
00:06:27.345 --> 00:06:30.882
Day after day after day,
00:06:30.882 --> 00:06:32.717
Where we were told that you couldn't he couldn't be trusted.
00:06:32.717 --> 00:06:35.753
That whole narrative was proven to be false.
00:06:35.753 --> 00:06:39.190
It had been propagated
00:06:39.190 --> 00:06:40.258
By political opposition and supported by the fbi.
00:06:40.258 --> 00:06:43.962
It really uncomfortable.
00:06:44.496 --> 00:06:45.997
And this administration,
00:06:45.997 --> 00:06:47.565
The opposition, seems to have
00:06:47.565 --> 00:06:48.967
Emerged most effectively from the legal system,
00:06:48.967 --> 00:06:52.303
From the judges in the law fair, where local judges have had
00:06:52.303 --> 00:06:55.740
The ability to completely stop or impede
00:06:55.740 --> 00:06:58.843
The agenda of the executive branch of the united states.
00:06:58.843 --> 00:07:02.914
I don't believe that's been completely sorted out yet.
00:07:02.914 --> 00:07:05.083
I think we need to pray.
00:07:05.083 --> 00:07:06.584
I don't believe it's the rightful use
00:07:06.584 --> 00:07:08.586
Of our government and the separation of powers
00:07:08.586 --> 00:07:10.955
As it's intended, and i trust the system will work, but
00:07:10.955 --> 00:07:14.459
It requires us to stay engaged, to use our voices to pray.
00:07:14.459 --> 00:07:19.030
If we'll do that, i trust god to make a difference.
00:07:19.030 --> 00:07:22.166
In the final set of questions were centered around
00:07:22.166 --> 00:07:24.536
Gender issues.
00:07:24.536 --> 00:07:25.970
And again, these come from across the country,
00:07:25.970 --> 00:07:27.705
From california, from georgia, michigan.
00:07:27.705 --> 00:07:31.609
Again, they represent most of the states.
00:07:31.609 --> 00:07:33.978
I thank you for that.
00:07:33.978 --> 00:07:35.647
You know, the gender issues thing is a
00:07:35.647 --> 00:07:39.217
A false construct.
00:07:39.651 --> 00:07:40.885
Honestly, i think it's deceptive and manipulative.
00:07:40.885 --> 00:07:43.555
You know, our biological sex is not confusing,
00:07:43.555 --> 00:07:46.558
Even down to our cellular level.
00:07:46.558 --> 00:07:48.459
That is loud and clear.
00:07:48.459 --> 00:07:50.929
We've watched a recent debate between riley gaines
00:07:50.929 --> 00:07:53.364
And simone biles.
00:07:53.364 --> 00:07:55.066
Riley gaines is a friend.
00:07:55.066 --> 00:07:56.301
I think she has handled herself in that debate
00:07:56.301 --> 00:07:58.803
Really rather eloquently.
00:07:58.803 --> 00:08:00.004
I respect her courage and standing up for the girls
00:08:00.004 --> 00:08:02.874
And the young women who are trying to compete.
00:08:02.874 --> 00:08:05.443
You know, if there really is no difference
00:08:05.443 --> 00:08:06.778
Between men and women biologically,
00:08:06.778 --> 00:08:08.947
We don't need men's sports and women's sports.
00:08:08.947 --> 00:08:10.748
We just need sports.
00:08:10.748 --> 00:08:12.317
There is a difference, and we can't afford to surrender
00:08:12.317 --> 00:08:14.819
That in the name of political correctness.
00:08:14.819 --> 00:08:16.888
The church needs to lead this discussion and not be afraid.
00:08:16.888 --> 00:08:20.592
You know, at home with these domestic issues.
00:08:20.592 --> 00:08:22.393
At the end of the day.
00:08:22.393 --> 00:08:23.595
We need the church to be the church
00:08:23.595 --> 00:08:25.663
And not allow the leadership
00:08:25.663 --> 00:08:26.864
Of our nation to be a political issue.
00:08:26.864 --> 00:08:28.499
This isn't about republican and democrat.
00:08:28.499 --> 00:08:31.202
This is about truth.
00:08:31.202 --> 00:08:32.770
It's about right and wrong, good and evil.
00:08:32.770 --> 00:08:34.939
And we need the pastors in our nation,
00:08:34.939 --> 00:08:36.674
The churches in our nation, the christ followers
00:08:36.674 --> 00:08:38.876
In our nations to use our voices.
00:08:38.876 --> 00:08:41.412
If we will do that, we'll have a great future.
00:08:41.412 --> 00:08:44.582
We'll be back.
00:08:44.916 --> 00:08:45.984
We're going to take a short break. we'll be back
00:08:45.984 --> 00:08:47.085
With the international questions that you sent.
00:08:47.085 --> 00:08:49.520
Stay with us.
00:08:49.520 --> 00:08:57.008
Stay with us.
00:08:57.008 --> 00:09:01.367
Well, this is a special show for us.
00:09:02.134 --> 00:09:03.936
We're celebrating our one year anniversary,
00:09:03.936 --> 00:09:06.338
And you're the guest.
00:09:06.338 --> 00:09:07.640
Your emails are driving the dialog.
00:09:07.640 --> 00:09:10.909
This segment, we're going global.
00:09:10.909 --> 00:09:12.411
We're going to look
00:09:12.411 --> 00:09:13.412
At your international questions and comments.
00:09:13.412 --> 00:09:15.714
There's a whole bucket of them
00:09:15.714 --> 00:09:17.116
Around israel and the nation of israel.
00:09:17.116 --> 00:09:19.218
Sandi commented that the saddest thing
00:09:19.218 --> 00:09:21.387
Regarding the gaza
00:09:21.387 --> 00:09:22.354
Tunnels is the world's humanitarian
00:09:22.354 --> 00:09:24.790
Aid paid for tunnels for a terrorist.
00:09:24.790 --> 00:09:27.593
That's an absolutely accurate assessment.
00:09:27.593 --> 00:09:30.295
It's a tragedy that the people of gaza didn't
00:09:30.295 --> 00:09:32.364
Get the benefit
00:09:32.364 --> 00:09:33.632
Of the billions and billions of dollars
00:09:33.632 --> 00:09:35.801
That came from ngos and governments.
00:09:35.801 --> 00:09:37.670
Humanitarian aid meant for people
00:09:37.670 --> 00:09:39.872
Was used to promote terrorism and to provide for terrorist.
00:09:39.872 --> 00:09:43.942
It's a tragedy, and the world's reluctant to acknowledge it.
00:09:43.942 --> 00:09:47.146
Sam from
00:09:47.413 --> 00:09:48.080
Michigan said, how can we pray
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:49.381
For the jewish people in a meaningful way?
00:09:49.381 --> 00:09:52.017
They need a revolution.
00:09:52.017 --> 00:09:52.985
Revelation of faith, just like we do.
00:09:52.985 --> 00:09:55.988
You know, the jewish people have a covenant with god,
00:09:55.988 --> 00:09:59.425
But they need a revelation of a living god.
00:09:59.425 --> 00:10:01.326
I've lived in israel. i've studied there.
00:10:01.326 --> 00:10:03.595
I have a great love for the jewish people
00:10:03.595 --> 00:10:05.230
In the nation of israel,
00:10:05.230 --> 00:10:06.832
But they have a need for truth, just like we do here at home.
00:10:06.832 --> 00:10:09.868
Lauren in texas said
00:10:10.335 --> 00:10:11.437
Many churches are preaching replacement theology.
00:10:11.437 --> 00:10:13.505
What's your counsel to the church
00:10:13.505 --> 00:10:15.307
On how we should stand with the jewish people?
00:10:15.307 --> 00:10:18.243
Replacement theology is a pretty
00:10:18.243 --> 00:10:20.813
Well formulated idea.
00:10:20.813 --> 00:10:23.449
I believe it's a misunderstanding.
00:10:23.449 --> 00:10:25.451
I think it's bad theology, honestly, but it says that the
00:10:25.451 --> 00:10:28.554
The church replaced the jewish people
00:10:28.554 --> 00:10:30.422
And that when you're
00:10:30.422 --> 00:10:31.390
Reading in your bible and it says israel,
00:10:31.390 --> 00:10:32.491
You can just cross it out and write in church.
00:10:32.491 --> 00:10:34.893
Again, i think it's bad theology.
00:10:34.893 --> 00:10:37.296
The awkward reality in many of your
00:10:37.296 --> 00:10:39.164
Your emails pointed to this is just the growth
00:10:39.164 --> 00:10:42.301
Of anti-semitism, the hatred of the jewish people.
00:10:42.301 --> 00:10:45.370
That's not new,
00:10:45.738 --> 00:10:47.406
But it is surprising that
00:10:47.406 --> 00:10:49.007
In 21st century america, anti-semitism is flourishing
00:10:49.007 --> 00:10:53.045
On some of our most celebrated college campuses.
00:10:53.045 --> 00:10:56.615
I refuse to call him a lead any longer.
00:10:56.615 --> 00:10:58.517
I think we will see their deterioration.
00:10:58.517 --> 00:11:01.120
I don't believe you can promote those ideas
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:02.988
That are so blatantly against scripture
00:11:02.988 --> 00:11:05.224
And continue to live with the blessing of god.
00:11:05.224 --> 00:11:07.760
We have an obligation to the jewish people.
00:11:07.760 --> 00:11:09.495
Without them, we would have no savior.
00:11:09.495 --> 00:11:10.996
We would have no scripture. we would have no covenants.
00:11:10.996 --> 00:11:13.332
The new testament says we've been grafted
00:11:13.332 --> 00:11:15.100
Into the covenant that god made with the jewish people.
00:11:15.100 --> 00:11:17.803
We're in their debt. we have no place hating them.
00:11:17.803 --> 00:11:20.439
Then there are several questions about china.
00:11:21.340 --> 00:11:24.143
Jim from tennessee
00:11:24.143 --> 00:11:26.211
Said your recent episode about china presents
00:11:26.211 --> 00:11:28.680
Another assignment for us all.
00:11:28.680 --> 00:11:30.115
It's all decide to sacrifice together
00:11:30.115 --> 00:11:31.950
And pay a little more as we refuse to support
00:11:31.950 --> 00:11:33.852
China's attack against us by purchasing their products.
00:11:33.852 --> 00:11:37.689
You know,
00:11:37.990 --> 00:11:39.024
One of the awkward things that i think we've got
00:11:39.024 --> 00:11:40.225
To grapple with with china, we love the chinese people.
00:11:40.225 --> 00:11:42.928
We can have tremendous compassion on them.
00:11:42.928 --> 00:11:44.963
They live beneath the hob, nail the boots of a communist
00:11:44.963 --> 00:11:48.801
Government, an authoritarian government
00:11:48.801 --> 00:11:51.136
With very little that resembles the kind of freedom and liberty
00:11:51.136 --> 00:11:54.006
That we know.
00:11:54.006 --> 00:11:55.474
We can have compassion on the people,
00:11:55.474 --> 00:11:57.209
But we can understand that the government
00:11:57.209 --> 00:11:59.344
Is very antagonistic
00:11:59.344 --> 00:12:01.046
And aggressive in their attitude towards the united states.
00:12:01.046 --> 00:12:04.049
They don't want to just take advantage of us.
00:12:04.049 --> 00:12:05.617
They want to diminish us, replace us.
00:12:05.617 --> 00:12:08.187
So we see them spying on us with balloons, with students
00:12:08.187 --> 00:12:11.924
They send here
00:12:11.924 --> 00:12:13.058
Under false pretenses with their government officials.
00:12:13.058 --> 00:12:16.762
We're going to have to be a bit more honest.
00:12:16.762 --> 00:12:18.230
I think what trump is doing with tariffs, regard
00:12:18.230 --> 00:12:20.132
To china,
00:12:20.132 --> 00:12:20.933
Gives us a breath of fresh air
00:12:20.933 --> 00:12:22.234
And a bit of hope for the future.
00:12:22.234 --> 00:12:24.002
But we have to stay informed
00:12:24.002 --> 00:12:25.504
And not be naive in how we walk that forward.
00:12:25.504 --> 00:12:30.008
A whole series of questions around ukraine and russia.
00:12:30.008 --> 00:12:33.879
Robin, email that it would be interesting to find out
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:36.481
Of the democrats have been talking behind closed doors.
00:12:36.481 --> 00:12:39.484
No kidding. you think?
00:12:39.484 --> 00:12:41.520
I promise.
00:12:41.520 --> 00:12:43.288
You think
00:12:43.288 --> 00:12:43.922
The democrats are opposing
00:12:43.922 --> 00:12:45.290
President trump and his policies towards ukraine and russia?
00:12:45.290 --> 00:12:48.460
Absolutely, yes.
00:12:48.460 --> 00:12:49.928
Robert, we don't have to hear the tapes
00:12:49.928 --> 00:12:51.663
To know what they're opposing him in every other possible way.
00:12:51.663 --> 00:12:55.267
I assure you, they're doing it in an intentional way.
00:12:55.267 --> 00:12:58.770
This battle between zelensky and putin
00:12:58.770 --> 00:13:00.806
Has to be seen differently.
00:13:00.806 --> 00:13:02.674
You know, there are millions of people who have died,
00:13:02.674 --> 00:13:05.878
Tremendous sufferings.
00:13:05.878 --> 00:13:07.112
Entire cities have been wiped out.
00:13:07.112 --> 00:13:09.248
There's not a solution that is going to make everybody happy.
00:13:09.248 --> 00:13:12.517
But the bloodshed and the warfare has to stop.
00:13:12.517 --> 00:13:15.354
I've spent a great deal of time talking to pastors and leaders
00:13:15.354 --> 00:13:18.257
In ukraine, people who have been on the ground
00:13:18.257 --> 00:13:19.925
There, putting together communications there.
00:13:19.925 --> 00:13:22.394
And i believe
00:13:22.394 --> 00:13:23.629
We have an obligation to help bring an end to this conflict.
00:13:23.629 --> 00:13:26.665
And the, the, the multiplied billions of dollars
00:13:26.665 --> 00:13:29.768
That the united states has invested in it.
00:13:29.768 --> 00:13:31.970
We simply can't afford to keep that up.
00:13:31.970 --> 00:13:34.773
Then you get some question,
00:13:35.374 --> 00:13:36.341
Just generic questions around the middle east.
00:13:36.341 --> 00:13:38.610
Robert from frisco.
00:13:38.610 --> 00:13:39.778
Kristine from everett, pennsylvania.
00:13:39.778 --> 00:13:42.547
All sorts of questions about the christians that are beheaded,
00:13:42.547 --> 00:13:46.084
In congo.
00:13:46.385 --> 00:13:48.020
You know,
00:13:48.020 --> 00:13:49.121
The whole world doesn't make our evening news cycle.
00:13:49.121 --> 00:13:50.889
There's just not enough time or interest.
00:13:50.889 --> 00:13:53.458
I spent a good deal of time in africa.
00:13:53.458 --> 00:13:55.060
I have tremendous compassion for the people there.
00:13:55.060 --> 00:13:58.263
The church has lost a bit of our momentum.
00:13:58.263 --> 00:14:00.632
You know, it's not the american dollar
00:14:00.632 --> 00:14:02.401
That is going to bring peace and prosperity to our world.
00:14:02.401 --> 00:14:05.604
It's the principles of the gospel of jesus christ.
00:14:05.604 --> 00:14:08.473
And that's not a government assignment.
00:14:08.473 --> 00:14:10.108
That's an assignment for the people of faith.
00:14:10.108 --> 00:14:12.077
We have to believe that our faith is transformational,
00:14:12.077 --> 00:14:15.213
And that what has brought freedom and liberty
00:14:15.213 --> 00:14:16.882
For all, and the opportunity for justice in our own nation.
00:14:16.882 --> 00:14:20.218
It didn't come principally from our founding documents
00:14:20.218 --> 00:14:22.354
Or our founding fathers or our social reformers.
00:14:22.354 --> 00:14:25.123
It came from the authority of scripture.
00:14:25.123 --> 00:14:27.392
And we got to come back to that idea.
00:14:27.392 --> 00:14:28.927
Take the values of scripture,
00:14:28.927 --> 00:14:30.162
Scripture, and the principles scriptures
00:14:30.162 --> 00:14:31.663
And share them with the nations of the world.
00:14:31.663 --> 00:14:33.899
If we will do that, the
00:14:33.899 --> 00:14:35.267
The best things of our life will be extended
00:14:35.267 --> 00:14:37.269
To the generations who follow us
00:14:37.269 --> 00:14:39.538
And to the nations around the world.
00:14:39.538 --> 00:14:42.274
Again, you're the guest today.
00:14:42.874 --> 00:14:45.210
You stay with us for more emails and what we can all do
00:14:45.210 --> 00:14:48.580
To make this a better show and a better country.
00:14:48.580 --> 00:14:51.984
We'll be right back.
00:14:51.984 --> 00:15:00.004
We'll be right back.
00:15:00.004 --> 00:15:03.529
We're celebrating today.
00:15:04.063 --> 00:15:05.264
This is our one year anniversary of the program.
00:15:05.264 --> 00:15:07.734
So we decided you would be our guest.
00:15:07.734 --> 00:15:10.036
We're taking your e-mails and your comments
00:15:10.036 --> 00:15:12.271
And making those the focus of our discussion.
00:15:12.271 --> 00:15:15.174
I hope the light's not too bright for you
00:15:15.174 --> 00:15:18.077
This time.
00:15:18.077 --> 00:15:19.245
We're going to talk a bit about some biblical topics.
00:15:19.245 --> 00:15:20.279
What we can do.
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:22.148
You've got a lot of questions around this.
00:15:22.148 --> 00:15:23.816
Sandra from glen burnie, maryland,
00:15:23.816 --> 00:15:26.886
Today in bible class in my church.
00:15:26.886 --> 00:15:30.089
Liberal christians say we're not to mix religion with politics.
00:15:30.089 --> 00:15:33.659
Please share
00:15:33.659 --> 00:15:34.761
If you know which party started promoting that phrase.
00:15:34.761 --> 00:15:37.463
It seems that the same people say
00:15:37.463 --> 00:15:38.998
You're supposed to keep your faith to yourself.
00:15:38.998 --> 00:15:41.734
Well, i know which party did it,
00:15:41.734 --> 00:15:43.002
But it's not the democrats or the republicans.
00:15:43.002 --> 00:15:44.937
It was the devil.
00:15:44.937 --> 00:15:46.706
Folks, our faith is useless
00:15:47.306 --> 00:15:49.375
If it's just a theoretical bible study
00:15:49.375 --> 00:15:51.377
That takes place in a classroom or a sanctuary.
00:15:51.377 --> 00:15:54.247
Faith is intended to be lived out in the awkward,
00:15:54.247 --> 00:15:57.583
Messy places where our lives take us in our homes,
00:15:57.583 --> 00:16:01.421
In our offices,
00:16:01.788 --> 00:16:02.755
In our classrooms, in the corridors
00:16:02.755 --> 00:16:04.323
Of the hospitals and the courtrooms.
00:16:04.323 --> 00:16:06.559
That's where our faith has to flourish.
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:08.961
There's been a lot of confusion in the church.
00:16:08.961 --> 00:16:10.863
You know, i ask, in fact, many of you send me notes
00:16:10.863 --> 00:16:14.634
From haltom city, texas, to california,
00:16:14.634 --> 00:16:19.439
All about.
00:16:19.739 --> 00:16:20.706
And they're all centered in the same thing,
00:16:20.706 --> 00:16:22.408
Whether it's appropriate to talk about our culture or
00:16:22.408 --> 00:16:25.411
We should just talk about biblical stories.
00:16:25.411 --> 00:16:29.048
I spent years of my life studying the bible.
00:16:29.048 --> 00:16:31.284
I'm an advocate for that.
00:16:31.284 --> 00:16:33.352
I still spend a great deal of time studying my bible,
00:16:33.352 --> 00:16:36.322
But the reason i do that is to understand
00:16:36.322 --> 00:16:38.191
How to live it out in our culture.
00:16:38.191 --> 00:16:40.693
And without any question,
00:16:40.693 --> 00:16:42.195
I believe we have to take our faith into the public arenas.
00:16:42.195 --> 00:16:46.232
I'm embarrassed that we ever retreated
00:16:46.232 --> 00:16:49.469
When they said in a corporate boardroom,
00:16:49.469 --> 00:16:50.903
Our faith wasn't welcome and we said, okay, i'm sorry.
00:16:50.903 --> 00:16:55.374
When they told us
00:16:55.374 --> 00:16:56.542
That we couldn't pray in school, but we could pray around
00:16:56.542 --> 00:16:58.811
A flagpole outside and we said, thank you, i'm embarrassed.
00:16:58.811 --> 00:17:03.516
Our faith has a right
00:17:04.016 --> 00:17:05.384
To any place that we've been welcomed,
00:17:05.384 --> 00:17:07.987
And it's going to take
00:17:07.987 --> 00:17:09.222
Some new courage from the church in order for that to happen.
00:17:09.222 --> 00:17:11.791
We've had a great example since this last election.
00:17:11.791 --> 00:17:13.793
President trump stood up
00:17:13.793 --> 00:17:15.128
And said marriage was between a man and a woman.
00:17:15.128 --> 00:17:17.697
I'm grateful for a president that will say that.
00:17:17.697 --> 00:17:20.133
But that's not really the president's assignment.
00:17:20.133 --> 00:17:21.934
That's the church's assignment.
00:17:21.934 --> 00:17:23.936
We should have been shouting that from the pulpits,
00:17:23.936 --> 00:17:25.905
Echoing that from every one of us
00:17:25.905 --> 00:17:27.540
Who imagines that we're christ followers.
00:17:27.540 --> 00:17:29.809
Fundamental principle of scripture.
00:17:29.809 --> 00:17:31.744
Then they gave me a list just as additional categories.
00:17:32.812 --> 00:17:35.581
You got questions on a whole host of issues.
00:17:35.581 --> 00:17:37.783
Maybe another show.
00:17:37.783 --> 00:17:39.018
We'll see what the ratings say.
00:17:39.018 --> 00:17:41.120
But a youtube viewer commented, i love mr.
00:17:41.120 --> 00:17:43.523
Eubanks and the work he does.
00:17:43.523 --> 00:17:45.658
That's david eubanks and the free burma rangers.
00:17:45.658 --> 00:17:47.894
What a courageous group of people.
00:17:47.894 --> 00:17:50.129
You said, i pray god pours his grace, wisdom and protection
00:17:50.129 --> 00:17:52.798
Over him, his family and the people he leads.
00:17:52.798 --> 00:17:55.134
Absolutely.
00:17:55.134 --> 00:17:56.169
One of the things i have loved about this program
00:17:56.169 --> 00:17:58.971
Is meeting the men and women across our nation
00:17:58.971 --> 00:18:00.806
And around the world that are living out their faith
00:18:00.806 --> 00:18:03.376
With diligence and courage, making the world a better place.
00:18:03.376 --> 00:18:06.612
It's inspired me to do that, and i hope it's inspired
00:18:06.612 --> 00:18:08.981
You to do the same where you are.
00:18:08.981 --> 00:18:11.083
Porter, in georgetown, texas, commented the piece you had on
00:18:11.083 --> 00:18:14.520
Jennifer gulati was outstanding, solid
00:18:14.520 --> 00:18:16.822
Christian, deep knowledge of food and pharma,
00:18:16.822 --> 00:18:19.325
A worthy heritage foundation superstar.
00:18:19.325 --> 00:18:21.594
Bring her back and dig deeper.
00:18:21.594 --> 00:18:23.663
We're doing that.
00:18:23.663 --> 00:18:24.764
We've heard you talk about
00:18:24.764 --> 00:18:26.299
You want to hear more about how we can be healthy spiritually,
00:18:26.299 --> 00:18:29.335
Physically, and emotionally, and we are working on that.
00:18:29.335 --> 00:18:33.105
I agree jennifer's program was outstanding.
00:18:33.105 --> 00:18:35.608
Jayanti in pennsylvania, pennsylvania.
00:18:35.608 --> 00:18:38.511
Thank you for the program with captain nash.
00:18:38.511 --> 00:18:40.546
He's one of my heroes,
00:18:40.546 --> 00:18:42.381
A military veteran, retired naval captain.
00:18:42.381 --> 00:18:44.951
That'll tell us the truth about what's happening in the world.
00:18:44.951 --> 00:18:48.287
Folks, we have people who are willing to share the truth.
00:18:48.287 --> 00:18:50.690
If we're willing to listen,
00:18:50.690 --> 00:18:52.391
We got to stop complaining and become more proactive
00:18:52.391 --> 00:18:54.760
In making the world a better place.
00:18:54.760 --> 00:18:57.263
Thank you for your emails.
00:18:57.263 --> 00:18:58.631
We'll be back in
00:18:58.631 --> 00:18:59.765

00:18:59.765 --> 00:19:02.535

Hey, this has been a special program for us.
00:19:16.016 --> 00:19:18.118
It's our one year anniversary.
00:19:18.118 --> 00:19:19.987
For the last year, you've been gracious enough
00:19:19.987 --> 00:19:21.855
To invite us into your homes in the evening
00:19:21.855 --> 00:19:24.258
To share a bit of the news, a bit of perspective
00:19:24.258 --> 00:19:26.393
From a biblical worldview about what's
00:19:26.393 --> 00:19:27.894
Happening in the globe and in our nation.
00:19:27.894 --> 00:19:30.297
Thank you for that.
00:19:30.297 --> 00:19:32.132
If you would be so kind as to invite a friend, share
00:19:32.132 --> 00:19:34.768
The message, we can expand the influence of this program
00:19:34.768 --> 00:19:37.971
And make even a greater difference.
00:19:37.971 --> 00:19:39.273
We've got a resource that'll help you.

You can be a part of the program.

The next time we do this i'll mention your name on the air.
00:19:49.383 --> 00:19:53.320
God is moving in the earth.
00:19:53.320 --> 00:19:54.855
It's an honor to stand with you
00:19:54.855 --> 00:19:56.356

We look forward to what's ahead.
00:20:02.929 --> 00:20:04.364
There truly is more reason for hope than despair.
00:20:04.364 --> 00:20:08.335
You have a wonderful evening.
00:20:08.335 --> 00:20:08.335
