Summary

“I'm not an economist, but I think Mr. Trump is doing his very best to reset the narrative on global trade,” Pastor Allen said, “And the short answer is the United States has been ripped off for a long, long time.” In this podcast, Pastor Allen provides common-sense perspectives on current issues like the tariffs, the stock market, China, intellectual property rights, government spending, and more. He also discusses Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Holy Week, and how Jesus boldly spoke truth and fulfilled His assignment, even when facing adversity. We’re called to do the same. Through personal stories and biblical insight, Pastor Allen delivers an encouraging message that helps us see how obedience to God leads to a greater Kingdom impact.

0:00.0	You welcome back to culture and Christianity.
0:05.0	Our goal is to live out our faith.
0:09.0	I suspect you know that by now.
0:11.0	This is my opportunity to kind of do an update
0:15.0	on current events and culture and how it impacts our faith.
0:19.0	And I want to take a specific week out of Scripture as the focus for this discussion.
0:26.7	I think there's a lot of parallels with what's happening in our current world.
0:30.5	I'm not trying to draw parallels between biblical characters and current characters,
0:34.9	but I would identify some parallels between current activity and what
0:41.3	happened in some, the section of time we're going to look at. I want to take that period of time
0:46.3	between Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem and when he's betrayed in the Garden of Getsemone.

1:03.0	and when he's betrayed by Judas in the Garden
1:07.0	is one of the most fascinating blocks of time that we have in all of the Gospels.
1:14.6	And it's really, it's such a critical window.
1:17.6	The things that are happening will determine the fate of humanity.
1:18.9	I don't think it's an overstatement.
1:25.2	And I think the more we can understand it, the more we can live out our faith in this culture.
