Fight Laugh Feast USA

This week, Pastor Nate Wright is joined by Dr. Joe Boot and Dr. Michael Thiessen to help Christians think Christianly about the escalating conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States.

Rather than reacting to headlines or repeating past debates about foreign wars, the conversation examines the issue through a Christian worldview—drawing on Scripture, sphere sovereignty, and the insights of Abraham Kuyper. What is the biblical basis for international law? Do nations have a right to defend themselves? And how should Christians think about war, treaties, and global conflict in a fallen world?

The goal of this episode is simple: to help believers move beyond political talking points and think Christianly about international conflict, justice, and the responsibilities of nations under God’s law.

Everyone says metabolism is simple.

Eat less. Move more. Try keto. Maybe take a GLP-1.

So why are we sicker, heavier, and more metabolically broken than ever?

In this episode of Water Break, Joel Green joins us to challenge the entire framework of modern weight loss. We dig into environmental toxins, transgenerational epigenetics, insulin resistance, fasting, carnivore, GLP-1 drugs, and why so many diets “work” once… and then fail.

If you’ve hit a wall with your health — or you’re starting to suspect the mainstream advice isn’t telling the whole story — this conversation might rewire how you think about metabolism altogether.

Did Jesus reject political power as inherently satanic? In this episode, Cory Wing, Tim Bushong, Matt Plett, and Mike D’Virgilio respond to comments from Rhett McLaughlin suggesting that Christians seeking political influence are embracing the temptation Satan offered Christ.

Is that what the temptation narrative actually teaches? The hosts carefully examine the biblical text, its historical context, and the theological implications of Christ’s rejection of Satan’s offer. They argue that this popular interpretation misunderstands both the nature of Christ’s kingship and the legitimate role of political authority under God. From a robust, postmillennial perspective, they present:

- Why Christ rejected Satan’s offer — and what that rejection really means 
- The difference between unlawful power and lawful authority 
- Why pietist and anabaptist instincts often distort this passage 
- The necessity of political power rightly ordered under Christ 
- A positive, hopeful vision for Christianity in public life

This isn’t about partisan politics. It’s about whether Jesus is Lord over all of life — including civil authority.

Why the Prison Pulpit? 

The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison. 

A lot has happened in the Middle East this week. There is much to pray for, but I want to focus specifically on reminding us all to pray for the believers in the various countries in the middle of (or even in the periphery of) the current conflict: 

Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Oman, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (those are just off the top of my head, although I think that covers most of the nations either bordering Iran or somehow involved in the conflict). 

I took a few minutes to put these nations into four groups, based on the similarities as to how they treat local Christians, or missionaries, within their borders. (Note: I am not an “expert” on the Middle East).

Growing up in a Muslim home in Turkey, Isik Abla knows firsthand the inner workings of Islam. She joins host Casey Harper to share her testimony of fleeing Turkey, finding Christ, and sharing His gospel with all who will listen. Although she found Christ after fleeing Turkey, Isik explains the phenomenon of Muslims meeting Jesus in dreams and why it is so common for many to experience this. She also gives advice on how Christians can witness to Muslims.

We're not in the mess because we don't know what to do. We're in the mess because we know how much work it's going to take, and would rather not have to do it. We're hoping that if we wait long enough, it'll somehow get easier or someone else will handle it. At some point, we have to stop kidding ourselves. The mess is your work.

In this episode of The World View, Alex breaks down the latest State of the Union, the growing divisions in America, the debate over the death penalty among Christians, remembers Iryna Zarutzka, and examines rising tensions with Iran—including its surprising and growing Christian population. A Christian perspective on the biggest political, cultural, and global stories shaping our world.

Recently, during a widely viewed conversation between Tucker Carlson and Mike Huckabee, a striking claim was made — that Israel holds a biblical right to take over much of the Middle East. But, does Scripture actually teach this?

In this episode, we carefully examine the biblical texts often invoked in these discussions, the theological assumptions behind modern Christian Zionism, and how believers should think about the relationship between the Bible, politics, and Israel.

Our goal is not partisan commentary, but faithful interpretation — allowing Scripture to speak on its own terms.
