How do we think biblically about war - especially war in the Middle East? Are these events tied to biblical prophecy about end times? And most importantly, how do we have conversations with people who are fearful or anxious and point them to the hope of the gospel? This episode features a live class session held at Highlands Church and hosted by pastors Joe Infranco and Ed Lutz, discussing the recent conflict between Israel, the U.S. and Iran, and how we can be ambassadors for Christ in the midst of a turbulent world.

Artificial Intelligence tools are finding their way into every aspect of life, from our phones to our cars, inboxes, photos and beyond. But what about church? Can A.I. aid in faithful Bible study? Should pastors use A.I. to help write sermons? Should church members turn to A.I. for answers to questions about faith, the Bible and Christianity? This episode features a live class session that discussed these questions and many more as we look at where A.I. is headed, the impact it's having on churches and faith conversations, and what biblical discernment looks like in the face of these powerful tools.

The class was led by Pastor Ed Lutz and features Highlands Elder Jim McGuire and guest Steve Laureanti - an intellectual property attorney and Christian author who has extensive experience examining the question of what place A.I. tools have within businesses, industries and churches.

What do the recent acts of violence in our country show us about the deep brokenness in our culture? What opportunities do we have as Christians to bring the hope of the Gospel to a nation that is hurting, confused, fearful, angry and looking for answers? In this live class session held at Highlands Church, our panel of pastors takes a deeper look at the events surrounding the murder of Charlie Kirk, the boldness with which he shared his faith, what it says about our current cultural moment, and what the Bible teaches us all about sharing the hope of Jesus Christ with others.
