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?

Kirk Cameron shocked many Christians last week when he publicly rejected the historic doctrine of eternal conscious punishment in hell, calling eternal torment “cruel and unusual” and saying annihilationism brings him “great relief.”

In this episode, we go line-by-line through Kirk’s actual statements and test them against clear Scripture:

• Matthew 25:46 – “eternal punishment” vs “eternal life”• The eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels (Matt 25:41)

• Revelation 20 and the lake of fire

• 2 Thessalonians 1:9 – “eternal destruction…away from the presence of the Lord”

• The rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16)

• Why “the wicked will perish/destroyed” does NOT mean they cease to exist

Hell is uncomfortable, but softening or redefining it because we don’t like it is not the biblical approach. We need the full weight of God’s holiness, justice, and wrath against sin to truly understand the glory of the gospel and the urgency of repentance.If you’ve ever struggled with the doctrine of hell or wondered how to answer friends leaning toward annihilationism or universalism, this episode is for you.

Is Christianity just recycled pagan mythology?You’ve probably seen the memes or watched Zeitgeist claiming Jesus is a rehash of Horus, Mithras, Dionysus, Krishna, and other ancient gods: virgin birth on December 25, 12 disciples, crucified, rose after 3 days… sound familiar? In this episode we go line-by-line through the actual ancient sources and show why every single one of these “parallels” falls apart the moment you read the original myths. We also examine why the New Testament has more historical evidence than any other ancient document and why the apostles’ willingness to die for their testimony destroys the “it’s all a legend” argument.

Then we wrap up with a biblical look at two hot-button issues in 2025:

Is Trump’s proposed travel/immigration pause from high-risk nations racist or actually responsible stewardship?

Is the new USDA Secretary right to demand transparency from states on SNAP spending, or is this “starving the poor”?

Is a systematic genocide against Christians unfolding in Nigeria right now?In 2025 alone, credible reports say over 7,000 believers have been murdered for their faith — mostly by Boko Haram terrorists — while the Nigerian government does almost nothing. President Trump publicly warned he may take action, and Senator Ted Cruz just introduced sanctions. Some voices claim “Muslims are dying too” and there’s no targeted persecution… but the data shows churches are attacked 2–3× more often than mosques. What is the truth, and how should Christians respond?Then we expose what just happened in New York City: Zohran Mamdani — an open democratic socialist and practicing Muslim — has been elected mayor on promises of:2% wealth tax on millionairesMassive corporate tax hikesFree buses & free childcare (costing billions)Government-run grocery storesRent freezes on 1 million apartmentsHigher taxes on “whiter neighborhoods”History shows socialism always ends the same way — and biblically, forced wealth redistribution contradicts God’s design for human flourishing and personal responsibility.In this hard-hitting episode of the Spiritual Reality Podcast we ask the tough questions:When (if ever) is it right for America to intervene militarily to stop mass slaughter of Christians?Are diplomatic pressure and sanctions enough?Will Mamdani’s radical agenda permanently bankrupt and destroy New York City?How should followers of Jesus think, pray, and act in the face of rising persecution abroad and creeping socialism at home?If you care about persecuted brothers and sisters, the future of America’s greatest city, and having a truly biblical worldview on culture and politics — you cannot afford to miss this episode.
