Host Scott Furrow reflects on the one-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, which claimed the lives of 1,200 people and took 251 hostages.

Guests Albert Mohler and Reuven Doron, a Messianic Jew who was in Israel on that day, share their reflections on the tragic event.

Dennis Prager and Eric Metaxas explore the long history of antisemitism, often referred to as the world's oldest hatred, and its concerning resurgence today.

The Christian Outlook - September 28, 2024 Greg Seltz invites Kerry Severino, president of the Judicial Crisis Network, to discuss the recent Supreme Court leak, which Severino argues is more serious than the Dobbs leak as it appears to involve internal deliberations among Supreme Court justices.  Albert Mohler has an extended conversation with American sociologist and author James Davison Hunter about the cultural shifts Hunter observed in the late 1980s and how they mirrored historical conflicts. Hunter explains that his research revealed a new cultural divide where conservative religious groups united across traditions, while progressive religious groups did the same, marking a shift from political-economic concerns to moral and cultural authority. Albert Mohler and James Davidson Hunter discuss more from Hunter's book, “Democracy and Solidarity: On the Cultural Roots of America’s Political Crisis.” Hunter's focus in the book is on the implicit philosophical questions underlying every society, such as the nature of reality, truth, and community, which most people are not consciously aware of but still influence cultural conflicts.
