Welcome to Leadership Now with Dr. Aaron Rock, hosted on Beachhead Media and other podcasting platforms.

Aaron has served as a pastor, chaplain, denominational leader, professor, and writer,

and he is a desire to help others think Christianly about all of life.

On this show, we discuss the nuts and bolts of theology, church life, ethics, apologetics,

culture, politics, and other issues to help you lead better now.

As always, I am your host, Jesse LaFranbois, and the topic for discussion that we are going to be going over today is learning from our foes.

So as Christians, we seek to bring change to our countries.

And it's interesting to take a look at other groups and kind of assess

what can we learn from those other groups, including people who we would actually consider

our foes. So in this episode, Aaron's going to talk about the growing success of specifically

some of the Islamic groups that we have seen who are very politically engaged

and actively seeking out the fulfillment of their objectives in the public sphere.

And maybe it is possible that we actually can learn a thing or two from them or kind of take

a page from their playbook.

So with that being said to kind of get our listeners on the same train of thought of us, where did this topic come from? How did this topic kind of come to mind? Well, before I answer your question directly, I have an announcement to make. You know where I'm going with this, right? I know exactly. So listeners, check this out. Jesse is getting married in two days. Awesome.

So miracles do happen.

That's right.

We're praying for your future wife.

But hey, congratulations, man.

Thank you.

I hope it's a great day that honors the Lord. And I know you'd be taking a bit of time off.

So we'll probably have someone else hosting next week.
