Summary
The headlines out of the Middle East can feel overwhelming—but God’s Word has already told us how to think and live in times like these. My friend Pastor Phil Hopper joins me to unpack Bible prophecy with clarity: Israel’s place in God’s plan, why “everlasting” means everlasting, the third-temple conversation, and how to spot hype without falling for date-setting. This isn’t about fear—it’s about readiness. Grab your Bible, lean in, and be encouraged: Jesus is coming, and our hope is secure.

| 0:00.0 | You know what I hear from homeschool moms everywhere? They want biblical accuracy without the fluff. |
| 0:06.2 | A recent survey by my friends at Lifestone Ministries found that 46% of Christian families say that |
| 0:12.3 | theological soundness is their top concern in a Bible curriculum. This is why I love the |
| 0:17.5 | Illuminate Bible series from Lifestone Ministries. Unlike workbook-heavy programs that |
| 0:22.6 | drain the joy from Scripture, Illuminate takes your family deep into God's Word in just 15 minutes a day. |
| 0:29.1 | No endless crafts or surface-level lessons, just pure biblical truth. Each week's simple five-step |
| 0:35.3 | approach walks you through the story, context, scripture connection, |
| 0:39.5 | doctrine, and real-life application of what you're studying. And with one parent guide serving |
| 0:45.0 | multiple children, that's less than $1 a lesson. If you want a curriculum that's built on sound |
| 0:51.3 | theology and biblical alignment, you'll find it here. |

| 1:05.0 | And today's conversation is one you are not going to want to miss. |
| 1:09.3 | The headlines coming out of the Middle East are right now |
| 1:11.9 | grabbing the world's attention once again, wars, rumors of wars, shifting alliances, and unlike |
| 1:17.4 | anything we've ever seen, there is a spiritual unrest happening around the world. But as |
| 1:22.4 | believers, we know that none of this takes God by surprise. The Bible's been pointing to these events for |
| 1:28.4 | thousands of years and understanding them through the lens of prophecy helps us stay grounded |
| 1:33.2 | in the truth and not be swept away by fear. Joining me on the podcast today is my friend, |
| 1:38.3 | Pastor Phil Hopper. He is a trusted Bible teacher and the lead pastor at Abundant Life Church |
