Biblical Memory, Texas Elections & the Fight for America | Under God Ep 315
What if the discipline of remembering is the very thing that saves a nation? In this week's Culture Review, Pastor Daniel Hayworth—an Army veteran and Aggie—and Pastor Nate Brown open with a powerful Memorial Day reflection on sacrifice, the image of God, and why a people who forget the past lose all vision for the future.
From there, the conversation moves into the headlines every Christian is living through. The pastors break down the high-stakes Texas Senate runoff, why uniting against candidates who twist Scripture matters, the ongoing Iran negotiations, whether Los Angeles can still be saved, and the troubling normalization of political violence in America. They close with a story of one child who refused to bow—and why less than 10% changed the course of history before.
