Welcome back after the holiday break! In this episode, we dive into major recent events from a biblical worldview:-NYC's new Mayor Zohran Mamdani's shocking inauguration speech promising to replace "rugged individualism" with the "warmth of collectivism" – why socialism and forced sharing always fail due to human sin nature, personal responsibility (2 Thessalonians 3:10: "If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat"), and the dangers of concentrated power ("absolute power corrupts absolutely").-Massive fraud scandals in Minnesota: Over $250M stolen in the Feeding Our Future case (with dozens convicted, many from the Somali community), empty "daycares" exposed, and lax oversight under leaders like Tim Walz and Keith Ellison. We connect this to government waste, accountability, and immigration principles.-The bold U.S. capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro on Jan 3, 2026 – a rare move against a narco-terrorist, with precedent but cautions for the future.-Holding conservatives accountable: Why Christians must call out unprofessional rhetoric from leaders like President Trump, even while supporting strong policies.Scripture reminds us we're all sinners in need of grace, and societies thrive on personal responsibility, hard work, and limited government – not utopian collectivism.What are your thoughts on these events?
