Hour 1: Understanding the Crisis in Israel From a Biblical Perspective - with Dr. Mark Turman
We are weeks into the most recent conflict between Israel and Hamas, where every day we are bombarded with reports of atrocities. Many innocent people, including children, are caught in the crossfires. How can we understand this conflict from a Biblical Perspective? On Thursday’s Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Dr. Mark Turman helps to break down current events from a Biblical perspective.
Hour 2: The Light: New WPB Church Plant - with Pastor Jeremy Barahona
One of the lesser-known parts of WPB is the neighborhoods that are south of downtown’s beautiful waterfront. The 33405 and 33415 zip codes, in particular, have over 75,000 people combined from places like Guatemala, Colombia, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, etc. This makes south WPB rich in its Latin American diversity and is a space for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation Latino/a immigrants to seek human flourishing. On Thursday’s Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Pastor Jeremy Barahona, Lead Pastor of The Light WPB, shares how their new Church plant seeks to reach this diverse community for Christ.
