Courage Under Fire

In the first episode of 2026, host Alan Masters opens with a heartfelt reflection on the emotional challenges he has faced, particularly after the loss of his sister, Diane, on December 22nd. His deep sadness contrasts sharply with Charlie Kirk’s recent call for taking a Sabbath day off, highlighting Alan’s commitment to his work during this difficult time. The discussion shifts to the theme of courage, and Alan expresses his admiration for figures like Donald Trump, whom he views as embodying a level of bravery that seems unattainable for many. He ponders how individuals might cultivate such courage in their own lives. Alan makes a profound observation about the value of the soul, emphasizing that while the devil seeks to possess it, God values it even more. This insight underscores the ongoing spiritual battle over human worth. He draws a parallel between Trump’s courage and the biblical bravery of figures like Moses, who confronted Pharaoh despite the personal risks. Alan reflects on the extraordinary strength that comes from faith in God, suggesting that it is not about personal strength, but rather tapping into divine strength. Ultimately, he emphasizes that this type of character and faith cannot be learned in conventional ways, but must be developed through a deeper connection with God.
