This week on G3 Weekly, we analyze the biggest headlines through the light of Scripture:

1. The Socialist Shift in NYC (0:39) 
We break down the victory of Zohran Mamdani, the first Muslim and Democratic Socialist mayor of New York City, and explain why this ideology fundamentally clashes with a biblical worldview that affirms private property and individual responsibility.

2. Government Shutdown Deconstructed (6:49)
The longest-ever federal shutdown reveals a dangerously over-involved government. We discuss why the constitutional gridlock is actually a feature designed as a "protection against tyranny."

3. The War on Conscience (12:09)
We examine the new University of California mandate that defines using an "incorrect pronoun" or "dead name" as harassment, arguing this is compelled speech that forces Christian students to violate their conscience.

4. Major Religious Freedom Victory (15:38) 
We celebrate the Texas Supreme Court ruling that protects judges who refuse to perform same-sex marriages based on their biblical convictions, creating a vital shield for the Christian conscience in the public square.

Ultimately: As Christians, our hope is in God's sovereignty, not in human politics.
