The Christian Call to Be
Salt and Light

(No Matter Our Societal Moment)

CURRENT PROGRAM: August 1, 2026

CURRENT PROGRAM: AUGUST 01, 2026

GUEST: SOEREN KERN, Geopolitical Analyst and Managing Editor, The Christian Worldview Journal

Earlier this month, President Trump and his administration brokered a ceasefire in the two-year-old war between Israel and Hamas that has taken place in Gaza, the small Palestinian territory in southwest Israel.

After Hamas’ savage attack into Israel two years ago where they killed 1200 and took 250 hostages back to Gaza, Israel has systematically targeted entrenched Hamas fighters in Gaza, resulting in a near takeover and destruction of Gaza.

So what makes this ceasefire significant? It’s what it doesn’t do and what it could lead to. While greatly diminished, Hamas lives on in Gaza, certain to rebuild, just as Iran is doing after President Trump called Israel off that war. In other words, while Israel has flexed powerful muscles across the Middle East, their enemies live on to fight another day. Meanwhile, President Trump is eager to have the Abraham Accords signed by Israel and longtime Arab enemies throughout he Middle East. Plus, there is a strong international push for a Palestinian state in Israel.

Soeren Kern, geopolitical analyst and managing editor of The Christian Worldview Journal, joins us to discuss the ceasefire and how it may be setting the stage for God’s miraculous rescue in the future.
