Welcome back to the TheBLAST Podcast.
We do this to be a blessing to the Body of Christ: disciples, pastors and Christians everywhere; giving you the ammo you need to be a witness and perhaps to make those long, quiet drives more enjoyable.
Part I
For our 2017 Year-In-Review, we didn't want to discuss headlines or major news events. Instead, we chose to look at events that have shaped the body of Christ.

Court Appointments (Neil Gorsuch and others)
Trump's Openness to Christianity

Why a good economy is good for the church
Announcing that the Capital of Israel is Jerusalem and its prophetic implications.
Lowlights
His Lack of Discipline (i.e. - Twitter)

The Gospel is the only answer to the hatred of racism.

Part II
The horrific 2017 Hurricane Season and the amazing heroism it inspired.
The recent epidemic of sexual harassment.
The difference between Harvey Weinstein, Al Franken and Roy Moore

Finally - the Defeat of ISIS!
ISIS now has less than 1,000 fighters left.
Just a year ago they were spreading like wildfire, slaughtering Christians and Yazidis by the thousands.
Their defeat is a tremendous miracle and a great relief to Christians in the Middle East.
Thanks again for listening!
