In this powerful episode of Living in the Vine: Resurrected, Johnathan and Pastor James tackle some of the most heartbreaking events shaking our nation — from the deaths of beloved theologians John MacArthur and Voddie Baucham, to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and the tragic shootings at a Catholic school and a Mormon chapel.

Through honest conversation and biblical reflection, they explore how Christians can grieve with hope, respond to evil with compassion, and remain rooted in truth during times of chaos. Together, they unpack what it means to honor the legacy of faithful servants, extend forgiveness even when it seems impossible, and trust God's sovereign plan when the world feels broken.

💬 Topics include:

  • How believers can grieve without losing hope

  • The importance of local church shepherds versus celebrity pastors

  • Responding to violence and injustice through faith

  • What true forgiveness looks like in the face of tragedy

  • How Christians can call government and culture back to biblical truth
