Summary

Segment 1:



• “No Kings Day” raises deeper questions—do we actually want a King?



• In a world of political chaos and rising persecution, Christians must remember: Jesus reigns.



• America may reject kingship, but your soul was made to serve one.



Segment 2:



• Brandon Lake says it’s time to ditch hymns—revealing our shallow view of worship.



• Small churches are stronger in faithfulness; megachurches invite spectators, not soldiers.



• The therapy trend among pastors points to a deeper crisis of biblical confidence.



Segment 3:



• Brandon Lake performs emotional worship on American Idol—but where’s the theology?



• Worship isn’t therapy—it’s truth that transforms.



• Weak worship might be what’s weakening the church.



Segment 4:



• Luther Seminary in MN is shutting down—another sign of theological decay.



• A filed-away statement of faith is not the same as actually teaching truth.



• Even when institutions collapse, Christ remains faithful.
