Allen Jackson Now

Iran’s proxy network is widening the war, and Trump and Netanyahu may soon face a decision that reshapes the Middle East. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Kirk Lippold, former commander of the USS Cole, to explore the widening confrontation involving Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia, the Houthis, and Ukraine. They discuss the potential next phase of military action and how Iranian proxies allow Tehran to attack while attempting to avoid direct accountability. Pastor Allen reminds us that history repeatedly demonstrates the cost of refusing to confront evil and points to Jesus as the ultimate model of leadership. Kingdom greatness is found in serving our families and communities.

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.
