In this powerful culture review episode, Pastor Stephen Martin and Pastor Daniel Hayworth tackle the week's most significant headlines through the lens of Scripture. From Trump's historic Israel-Gaza peace deal that brought 20 hostages home to the biblical case for defending our borders, this episode equips Christians with the truth needed to navigate today's complex issues.

Pastor Stephen, fresh from his trip to Israel where he prayed with hundreds of evangelical Christians for the hostages' return, shares firsthand insights about the Jewish people's commitment to life and peace. He explains how Trump accomplished what decades of institutional experts deemed impossible, and why this achievement deserves recognition as one of the greatest diplomatic victories of our time.

The conversation then shifts to examining what Scripture teaches about national sovereignty, immigration, and the duty to protect one's people. Drawing from biblical principles about justice and the nature of sin, the hosts challenge popular narratives about "undocumented immigrants" and explain why enforcing laws aligns with God's design for nations.
