What in the World is Happening in Iran?

The news out of the Middle East can feel overwhelming, and everyone seems to have a strong opinion about whose side we should be on. But before you pick a team, it helps to know the whole story. And this one starts in Genesis.In this episode, Austin and Adeline walk through Pastor Nathan's post "What in the World is Happening in Iran?" tracing the conflict back to Noah's three sons, following the line through Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and Esau, and asking the question the church doesn't always stop to ask: are America's wars automatically God's wars?They also take an honest look at the theology that frames political support for modern Israel as a biblical requirement, why Jesus' own words about wars and rumors of wars are more stabilizing than any news anchor, and where the only real answer to all of this has always been found.The full post covers the Temple Mount, the Sunni-Shia split, the Table of Nations, and closes with a pastoral charge worth reading slowly.
