This hour we will hear keen insights on the state of Iran. How will Israel respond to being attacked by this country? Why do so many Iranians support Israel? How is the Gospel changing that nation? Then, what strategic lessons can Israel learn in the aftermath of the Hamas attacks on October 7? Our guest, a retired Air Force Colonel and the Dean of Behavioral and Social Sciences at Colorado Christian University will discuss three key realities of Israel’s current position: the resurgence of global antisemitism, the complexities of American political support, and the necessity for Israel to address the growing threat from Iran.
Beyond the lights and the camera, our guest spent her nights in darkness. Between seedy bars, lost time, and a painful quest for love, marriage, and a long-term relationship, she was spiraling—and no one ever knew. What started as an escape from her oppressive childhood had become an addiction that plagued and defined her. For fifteen years, she had hidden her dark, shameful secret, and when the cameras started rolling, she was always there, ready to deliver the news. But all along, she knew something was missing, a truth she once knew was calling her back. Join us to hear her story of knowing that something had to change, and fast. But how? Be encouraged as you discover how to break the chains of addiction.
