Ep 11 Part 3 Culture in the Crosshairs

When spiritual darkness becomes visible, culture reels. In this episode, we examine how unseen forces shape headline-making violence, ideology warfare, and polarization—like the assassination of Charlie Kirk—and what Biblical discernment looks like in the midst of cultural chaos. With insights from Dr. Michael Heiser and Dr. Joel Muddamalle, we'll train our eyes to see behind the curtain, resist fear, and engage culture from a place of wisdom.🎧 Listen on YouTube, Apple Podcasts & Spotify 💻 Coaching + resources at curatedcoalition.comJohns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions — Annual Gun Violence Data (summary of CDC 2023 gun deaths).
