Where does God stand when empires claim His name? This urgent question anchors our conversation about Christian responsibility in the face of violence happening in Gaza.

We dive deep into the theological underpinnings often used to justify unwavering support for the modern state of Israel. Genesis 12:3 – "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you" – has become a rallying cry for Christians supporting Israel's military actions. But does this represent faithful biblical interpretation or dangerous theological sleight-of-hand?

Malcolm and Slim challenge the collapse between biblical Israel and the modern nation-state, exposing how colonial logic portrays "the colonizer as victim and the colonized as aggressor." We examine President Biden's revealing statement that "if there were not an Israel, we'd have to invent one" to protect American interests in the region – demonstrating how geopolitical aims often drive theological positions.

The conversation takes us to Palestinian pastor Munther Isaac's powerful book "Christ in the Rubble," which asks where Jesus would be amid Gaza's destruction. The answer? Under the rubble with the suffering, not blessing the bombs that create it. This prophetic voice calls Western Christians to recognize their complicity through silence or uncritical support of violence.

While condemning all violence, including Hamas' October 7th attack, we question whether killing over 40,000 Palestinians represents a just response or betrays the teachings of Jesus, who commands us to love our enemies.

If these questions challenge you, join us in seeking answers through Palestinian Christian voices and the nonviolent resistance training offered by the King Center. How will you answer when future generations ask where you stood in this moment of moral crisis?

We also answer the Question, "Will those whose names were not written in the book of life ever have an opportunity to be redeemed, and escape the lake of fire?" And recommend you try The 4 Views of Hell Book to explore this further.

The millennium debate often gets mired in abstract timelines, but Revelation 20 demands we focus on a different question: who actually reigns with Christ during this period? Malcolm and Slim unpack questions from Mosaic Waco's sermon series on Revelation.

In review of Slim's sermon on Revelation 20, we discuss: pre-millennial, post-millennial, amillennial, and Pan-millenial views. In a moment when many Christians seek political power without the cross, Revelation offers the path to reigning with Christ necessarily involves suffering with him.

We address other pressing questions like: what happens immediately after death? Will physical disabilities remain in eternity? How Christians should care for creation while maintaining eternal perspective. What about the RAPTURE? All of this...and... we have a NEW POPE! But is that news as important as the world records being broken? You'll have to listen to see.

The "t" in LGBTQ (Transgender) has become one of the most heated cultural flashpoints of our time, leaving many Christians struggling to respond with both theological faithfulness and Christ-like compassion. How do we understand gender dysphoria through a biblical lens while genuinely caring for those who experience it?

Enter Dr. Mark Yarhouse, Director of the Sexual and Gender Identity Institute at Wheaton College and author of groundbreaking works like "Understanding Gender Dysphoria" and "Emerging Gender Identities." With over two decades of clinical experience and research, Dr. Yarhouse brings a rare combination of psychological expertise and Christian conviction to this complex conversation.

Warning: Before this convo, Malcolm and slim tackle a polarizing debate going around the online community. Sadly, this topic has divided even our hosts. Will they stay friends after seeing the world so differently?

Also, good news and bad news for Christians regarding anti-christian bias!

We hope you'll give this a listen.
