EP 30: When the World is in a State of Chaos: Wars and Rumors of Wars

Alarms are blaring, headlines won’t quit, and everyone has a take—so where do you put your heart when wars and rumors of wars won’t let up? We open Scripture and our lived experience as Marine veterans and spouses to map a calmer, truer way forward. Instead of doomscrolling and division, we talk about the posture Jesus calls for—do not be alarmed—and how that shifts everything from our thought life to our daily work.We unpack the steadying image from Hebrews 1: Christ seated at the right hand, ruling and not rushing, and why fixing our minds there disrupts anxiety’s grip. From Isaiah 26, we get practical about attention as discipleship: screens shape us, so we choose Scripture before scroll, prayer before posts, and wise community over algorithmic outrage. Trust, we’ve learned, grows through tested promises kept. We share how to build it: small steps of obedience, journaling answered prayers, and returning to “memorial stones” when fear surges again.Readiness matters, but not the kind that fuels endless speculation. We focus on spiritual readiness—doing the job God has actually given you, staying in your lane, and refusing to waste energy on what you cannot control. Crisis can become a gospel doorway when Christians embody calm courage. We talk candidly about mortality, the fears spouses carry before and during deployments, and the hard question that refines faith: is God still good if the worst happens? The answer leads us back to the Prince of Peace and a double posture—prepare for hardship, pray for peace.If the noise is high and your heart is tired, join us.
