Join us today as we discuss the war in Iran following by the peace we find in Christ. Dr. Hormoz Shariat, of Iran Alive Ministries, will share with us what he is hearing behind the headlines in Iran and will teach us how to pray specifically for the Iranian people. Then, if your life doesn't look the way you expected, that doesn't mean God can't use you. The Christian life often doesn’t feel like the stained-glass images we remember from childhood—happy, holy, hopeful. But God never promised that we won’t have trouble. Rather, He promises to be with us through the storm. Shanno Bream will remind us that nothing is impossible with God.
We start the hour by looking at some of the stories making headlines before talking with Patti Garibay, of American Heritage Girls, who will explain why scouting should be about moral principles and not shifting ideology. We round out the hour talking about Daylight Saving Time with Dr. Jeff Zweerink,j who will argue that the science behind sunlight is so central to human life, and how those rhythms reflect a purposeful design in nature.
