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.

What does the Bible actually teach about sex, marriage, purity, temptation, and human sexuality?

In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing explores God's design for sexuality from Genesis to Revelation. He explains why Scripture presents sex as a good gift within marriage, how sin distorts God's design, and why the gospel offers hope, forgiveness, and transformation for every believer.

Topics include marriage, purity, lust, pornography, adultery, homosexuality, temptation, repentance, and the hope found in Christ.

Whether you are struggling personally or seeking biblical clarity in a confused culture, this episode offers practical wisdom and gospel-centered encouragement.

Did the apostles expect prophecy to be fulfilled in their own generation?

In Episode 10 of the Revelation Series, Jay Rogers brings together the major events of the first century—Nero's persecution, the ministries and deaths of Peter and Paul, the writing of Revelation, and the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. Rather than treating these events as unrelated pieces of history, this episode examines how they may fit together as part of the prophetic framework Jesus described decades earlier.

In this episode:

Nero's persecution of the early church

The martyrdom of Peter and Paul

The dating and purpose of Revelation

The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple

The significance of AD 70 in biblical prophecy

How the apostles understood the "last days"

What if the apostles were not warning about events thousands of years in the future, but about a crisis rapidly approaching their own generation? This episode explores how prophecy, history, and the mission of the early church converged in the first century.
