## Resource

In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham tackle one of the most debated topics in Christianity: the end times. Walking through key Scriptures, they cut through confusion around Israel, prophecy, and global events—bringing clarity to what Jesus actually said about His return. Instead of fear or speculation, this conversation calls believers to think biblically, reject cultural noise, and live ready. From Romans 9–11 to today’s geopolitical tensions, the team addresses real questions about Israel, Judaism, and the rise of global religions—challenging listeners to stay grounded in truth as we anticipate Christ’s return. In this episode, you’ll learn: What the Bible actually teaches about the end times Whether the Jewish people are still God’s chosen people If Christians should support modern-day Israel How to think about the rise of Islam biblically Why Jesus calls believers to live ready, not fearful Stand firm.
