It’s easy to get discouraged when we see all the unbiblical, sinful attitudes and actions overwhelming our culture. We should be saddened and even angered by the acceptance and promotion of sins like LGBTQ lifestyles, abortion, violence, and racism.

But we should also have hope. As Christians, we have the life-changing message our culture desperately needs—the free gift of salvation offered in the gospel. You know, it’s a reminder that no matter how dark and depraved the world gets, we’re called to be salt and light, to do the King’s business until he returns, and fight the good fight of the faith—all for the glory of God!

Welcome to "Inside the Epicenter" with Joel and Lynn Rosenberg. In this episode of Inside the Epicenter, host Joel Rosenberg sits down with former U.S. ambassador and veteran Middle East advisor Dennis Ross to unpack Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s recent visit to Washington and its far-reaching implications. Together, they explore Saudi Arabia’s sweeping social and economic changes, the strengthening U.S.-Saudi relationship, and the critical role of technology, defense, and energy in the kingdom’s transformation. Dennis Ross shares firsthand insights on the prospects for Israeli-Saudi normalization, how October 7th shifted regional dynamics, and what’s at stake for both the U.S. and Middle East allies going forward. If you want a front-row seat to diplomatic strategy, behind-the-scenes stories, and the future of peace in the region, this conversation is not to be missed.

Verse of the Day:  Romans 15:25-27: But now, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints. For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. For they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to do them a service also in material things.

Pray for a much better and more encouraging 2026
Pray that God gives leaders in the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel the wisdom to deal appropriately with issues that come.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that as true believers, the Holy Spirit was given to us to equip us for ministry, and to edify the church. Serving others should be our passion, no matter if it’s digging ditches, mission work, or helping wherever we’re called.

Sometimes God’s call comes when life feels impossible. Dr. Tony Evans explains how God equips ordinary people to do extraordinary things, and how faith in the small things prepares us for life’s biggest battles.

Today, Mark Gregston, Wayne Shepherd and Courtney Lafleur discuss how listening is one of the most powerful ways parents can build connection with their teens. Many families struggle with communication because parents talk more than they listen — often teaching, correcting or giving opinions instead of asking thoughtful questions. Teens who don’t feel heard will seek that attention elsewhere, so parents must make intentional time to listen without judgment or interruption. Mark encourages parents and grandparents to show genuine interest and remember that one of the greatest acts of love is truly listening to your teen’s heart.
