## Resource

What happens when Christians start chasing conspiracies instead of truth? Pastor Phil Hopper joins me for an honest conversation about Iran, the growing divide inside the conservative movement, the rise of the "woke right," and why biblical discernment matters now more than ever. We also talk about Israel, end times, and how followers of Christ can stand firm without living in fear.
