War, political conflict, cultural upheaval, and an endless stream of breaking news can leave you feeling overwhelmed. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson explains how Christians can remain informed about current events without becoming trapped in fear, anger, or discouragement. He shares the practical strategy of intentionally creating a good news list. This is not about ignoring challenges or pretending the world is peaceful. It is about not getting distracted from God’s faithfulness or our assignment. Pastor Allen also challenges believers not to surrender biblical truth. Marriage, protecting children, and obeying the law are not political positions. They are biblical principles. Our political preferences must never determine which portions of God’s Word we are willing to accept.
