Ep 34 - Staying Grounded When Headlines Scream War And Fear

Send us Fan MailThe news cycle is loud, but fear doesn’t get the final word. We dive into Jesus’ warnings about “wars and rumours of wars” and ask a sharper question: how do we stay watchful without being consumed by worry? From UK emergency alerts to rising global tension, we trace how scripture interprets our moment and why “do not be troubled” is an invitation into practised peace, not passive denial.Together we unpack the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25 and what “extra oil” looks like today: simple, daily habits that build spiritual margin when life feels brittle. We also explore 2 Timothy 3 and the rise of self, money, and deception, discussing frankly false prophets, media overload, and the danger of outsourcing one's faith to personalities. Discernment grows where devotion is nourished, so we share practical ways to guard attention, test teaching, and keep your ear tuned to the Shepherd’s voice.This is an honest conversation about struggle and hope. One of us opens up about dyslexia, guilt, and the battle for consistency, offering realistic steps: audio Bible, one chapter a day, short prayers that cut through noise, repentance as relief rather than self-condemnation. We close with anchors from Psalm 46 and Isaiah 41:10, reminding ourselves that God is our refuge and strength, and that His peace is stronger than any headline.
