What did Paul mean when he wrote that "all Israel will be saved"?

In this episode, Matt Plett examines Romans 11:25–26 and one of the most debated passages in biblical theology and eschatology.

Does Paul refer to the church, ethnic Israel, or both? Is he predicting a future conversion of the Jewish people? And how does Romans 11 fit with the Bible's teaching that there is one people of God united by faith in Christ?

Drawing from Reformed interpreters such as Calvin, Matthew Poole, John Gill, and historic confessional theology, this study explores the relationship between Israel, the nations, and God's redemptive plan in history.

What did Paul actually mean by "all Israel"?

Songwriting seems like magic until you actually watch someone do it. Then you realize it's mostly just confidently making bad decisions until some of them accidentally rhyme.

We're writing a song completely on the spot. No plan, no polished lyrics, just improvising our way into something that hopefully sounds intentional by the end.

We're also playing around with AI music tools. Which is exciting... and a little unsettling. We spent years learning chords, and now a laptop is like, "I made four albums while you were tuning your guitar."

All of this leads us to writing a song about Charlie Bunny. Sometimes inspiration strikes. Sometimes it hands you a rabbit named Charlie and says, "Figure it out."

So today is part songwriting, part musical experiment, part AI exploration, and part failure.

Today’s episode is a lightly edited version of an interview I did with Ray Comfort* one year ago this week. We spoke via Zoom from my hotel on the China border (Ray was at his office in LA) about my deportation and attempts to re-enter China, the dangers of being arrested as a spy, Ray's early memories of  "starving China", preaching amidst persecution, and more. I also took some time to explain to Ray that his adopted home state of California is matched up with Xinjiang Province for prayer in our Pray for China scheme. 

*Ray Comfort, the founder of Living Waters Publications, has been faithfully equipping Christians in biblical evangelism for decades, and his message, Hell’s Best Kept Secret, had a huge impact on me as a teenager way back in 1999.

In this episode of The World View, Alex Kocman examines three major developments shaping the modern West: the UK grooming-gang scandal and the collapse of multicultural assumptions, the temporary U.S.–Iran peace framework and shifting global power, and the SBC’s ongoing debate over women in pastoral ministry.

What do these stories reveal about the state of the church, the nation, and the mission of Christianity? Alex argues that Christians must recover moral clarity, doctrinal courage, and missionary conviction in an age marked by confusion, compromise, and civilizational decline.

The nations do not need more cowardice or ideological confusion—they need the Lordship of Christ proclaimed with boldness.

Host Casey Harper is joined by Senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation Stefan Padfield and The Washington Stand’s Suzanne Bowdey to reflect on this year’s Pride Month. Are corporations backing down or doubling down? The three discuss how companies approached Pride in 2026, the evolving corporate response to transgender issues, and whether consumer boycotts can truly make a difference. While avoiding every "woke" company may not be realistic, Stefan and Suzanne share two practical approaches to being more intentional and responsible with where you spend your money.

Is the secular age ending? For years, we were told religion would fade. Instead, younger generations are turning back to Christianity—and the shift is accelerating. This episode breaks down the collapse of secular confidence and the early signs of a new awakening.

We cover:

Why secularism may have peaked

The cultural cracks driving people back to faith

How the internet is reshaping belief

What this means for the future of the West

This isn’t random. It’s directional. Is this the start of something bigger?

Tulsi Gabbard dropped a true bombshell confirming what most reasonable Americans already knew: Dr. Anthony Fauci lied, broke the law, and covered it up.

Gabbard, who is leaving the office of national intelligence due to her husband's cancer diagnosis, is releasing Fauci's communications, essentially providing the receipts for a massive scandal. But will prosecutions come? In this episode of The Sentinel Report with Alex Newman, we dive into this can't-miss story, plus the resignation of the U.K.'s Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Major League Baseball's persecution of Christian athletes, and so much more.

Guests joining to analyze the news:

The legendary G. Edward Griffin, the author of The Creature from Jekyll Island, breaks down the death of former Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan and why the Fed is unconstitutional and, frankly, horrible.

Next, Phil Linderman, the co-founder and chairman of the Ben Franklin Fellowship and board member at the Center for Immigration Studies, reviews the Trump administration's immigration policies and articulates why the phrase "isolationism" is a pejorative made by internationalists to undermine Americanism.

Finally, Titus Blair, the author of Tiny Church, talks all things AI and how Christians should prepare.
