Dr. Gary Frazier is a respected speaker and writer on the subject of Bible prophecy. He is the founder and president of Discovery Missions. He's the author of numerous books including: Miracle of Israel, It Could Happen Tomorrow, Hell is for Real, Divorcing God: The Two Americas and The Event: The Dream of World Peace Realized.On this broadcast, Gary shares the big picture when it comes to Israel. It's the fact that biblical prophecy will be fulfilled. Gary noted that we forget that such prophecy is fulfilled incrementally over time. So what exactly are we seeing at the present time as it pertains to this "big picture"? It's the idea that a well-funded hatred is showing toward Israel as people chant things like, "From the river to the sea." Interestingly, many of those protesting have no historical frame of reference for such activity.Don't miss this discussion as you'll hear Dr. Frazier comment on points such as: Are we headed toward a Russian led Islamic invasion of Israel? What part will Iran have in this?How critical to this discussion is Isaiah 17:1 that describes the destruction of Damascus?Will every single nation, including the U.S., turn against Israel?What impact should everything that's happening have on us as believers today?These and other questions are answered, and listeners present their views as well, on this edition of Crosstalk.

Michael Germi is a former Muslim, born in Iran into a Shia Muslim family. In this setting he learned to practice Islam praying 5 times a day toward Mecca. He fasted during Ramadan. He practiced self-mutilation for the cause of Allah. He migrated to Australia in 2006 and in 2009 found faith in Jesus Christ. He later moved to the U.S. where he now proclaims the Gospel to Islamic nations. He's written several Farsi Christian books and desires to plant churches around the world where Persians are scattered.--Michael began with some history of Iran as they moved from conditions under the Shah to rule by the Ayatollah. He describes how he grew up learning the Qur'an and Islam, not by choice, but by force and how he was taught he'd go to Hell if he didn't abide by-practice the Islamic traditions.--The focus eventually switches to the helicopter crash that took the life of 63 year old Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and other high ranking officials. Raisi was known as the -Butcher of Tehran- and the -Hangman of Tehran-, having massacred thousands of Iranians. Funeral services will run over several days. --As the broadcast moves along you'll hear Michael as he comments on how this will affect the political situation in Iran due to the fact that Raisi was the potential successor to the current Supreme Leader. He also comments on the reaction of the people to the death of Raisi, whether an Iranian official might have caused the helicopter crash, what we know about the current vice-president, Michael's passion for reaching people in Iran with the Gospel message and much more.

Mark Krikorian is a nationally recognized expert on immigration issues serving as the Executive Director of Center for Immigration Studies. They are an independent, non-partisan research organization examining and critiquing the impact of immigration on the United States. He has testified numerous times before Congress and has published articles in many outlets. --The discussion began with a look at the surge of Chinese nationals coming to the U.S. at rates never before seen. In fact, Mark noted that since Biden became president, there have been more than 50,000 Chinese illegal immigrants that have come here, with most of them arriving through San Diego. This is an obvious security issue for us and a great opportunity for the Chinese government to use the flow to include various types of espionage agents. --According to Mark, people from about 175 countries are known to be here. In other words, the immigration situation has to be dealt with in dramatic fashion and Senator Marco Rubio makes that clear in an audio clip presented by Jim from Meet the Press. --Review this broadcast and you'll also hear the following discussed--Just last week nearly 150 House Democrats opposed legislation that detains and deports illegal immigrants who attack police officers. -Are non-citizens illegally registering to vote---How do you round up two million -gottaways----The latest attempt to pass a border security bill.-The connection between U.S. immigration policy and drugs.

This broadcast highlights the sentencing of pro-lifers as a result of allegedly violating the FACE -Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances- Act.

Wade, those who've attacked pro-life pregnancy centers, illegal aliens and more.--How is this equal justice under the law when such individuals are conspiring to be peaceful on behalf of those who have no voice-- That question is answered as Jim presented the facts, and listeners responded, on this edition of Crosstalk.

Mark Hancock is CEO of Trail Life USA and author of, Why Are We Sitting Here Until We Die----Sadly, we live in a society today that's lost its way to such an extent that many don't even seem to know the difference between male and female. Gender confused males are dominating women's sports and now the Boy Scouts, once known for their values and deep respect for both God and country, are dropping the word -Boy- from their name, changing it to -Scouting America-.--Since the Scouts have seemingly taken the next step down the slippery slope, is there an alternative-- Yes there is. It's called Trail Life USA. Mark described how it all started in June of 2013 when about 50 people gathered in Louisville, Kentucky. 68 days later an inaugural convention took place at Nashville, Tennessee, where 1,200 people came from 44 states. That's where they announced the name and the general line of the program. 3 months later, on January 1, 2014, the program was officially launched. Since that time they've grown to over 1,200 troops in all 50 states with nearly 60,000 members. --Review this edition of Crosstalk to learn about their motto, their core value, the connection to local churches, their outdoor focus, servant leadership and other hallmarks that make this organization a God-pleasing choice for helping young boys become men of Christ.
