Tonight’s headlines remind us that theology isn’t just what we preach, it’s what we practice. When the Gospel confronts power, somebody has to decide whether love or law will have the last word. This week, we dive into the week’s headlines through a Gospel lens, asking not just what happened, but what would Jesus say about it? From immigration crackdowns and global conflict to institutional religion controversies, tonight’s stories reveal where politics, power, and piety collide… and where theology gets twisted along the way.

Featured Guest: Author Greg Carey

We'll dive deep into Greg Carey's compelling work, Rereading Revelation: Theology, Ethics, and Resistance, exploring fresh perspectives on one of the Bible's most misunderstood books. What does Revelation really say about power, resistance, and faithful witness in challenging times?

Dr. Carey invites us to reconsider how "our social and commercial entanglements may compromise our loyalty to Jesus Christ" and challenges us to read Revelation not as a roadmap to the end times, but as a call to resist empire and remain faithful in the face of cultural pressure.

Whether you're passionate about biblical scholarship, wrestling with questions of faith and justice, or just looking for thoughtful conversation, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
