Antisemitism is rising, political hostility is intensifying, and Americans increasingly struggle to disagree without dehumanizing one another. How should Christians respond to hatred in a deeply divided culture?

Mark Meckler, president of Convention of States, joins Dr. Jeff Myers to discuss the rise of antisemitism, why extremist ideas can gain traction across the political spectrum, and what Christians can learn from the Church's responses to persecution throughout history. They also explore the tension between protecting free speech and confronting intimidation and violence, why strong local communities matter, and how Christians can become peacemakers without compromising truth.

How can followers of Jesus reject hatred, love their neighbors, and help rebuild trust in an increasingly polarized culture? Discover how a biblical worldview can shape our response to antisemitism and division.

Have you ever wondered how the Bible fits together—or where your story fits into God's bigger story?

The Bible contains 66 books written across centuries, yet together they tell one unified story of creation, redemption, and restoration centered on Jesus Christ. In this episode of the Truth Changes Everything podcast, Dr. Jeff Myers sits down with Randy and Rozanne Frazee, authors of Encountering God's Love from Genesis to Revelation: A 52-Week Bible Study, to explore how seeing the Bible as one grand narrative can transform the way you read Scripture and live out your faith.

Randy and Rozanne unpack the "Upper Story" and "Lower Story," explain how God's larger purposes intersect with the unexpected seasons of our everyday lives, and discuss why many Christians know that God loves them intellectually but struggle to experience that love personally.

You'll also discover major themes to watch for from Genesis to Revelation, why reading Scripture in community matters, and how the entire biblical story ultimately finds its fulfillment in Jesus.

If the Bible has ever felt like a collection of disconnected books, stories, and teachings, this conversation will help you step back and see the bigger picture—and your place within it.

Sports betting has exploded across America. What was once largely confined to casinos and sportsbooks is now available in seconds on the smartphone in your pocket. But is sports betting really harmless entertainment, or is our growing obsession with gambling changing a generation?

Daniel Darling joins Dr. Jeff Myers to explore the rapid rise of sports gambling and what it reveals about our culture's relationship with money, risk, technology, excitement, and contentment. They discuss the deeper desires that make gambling so appealing, how smartphones are reshaping our habits, and the biblical principles Christians should use when thinking about betting and money.

They also consider how parents can prepare teenagers for a culture where gambling is increasingly normalized, how churches can support those struggling with gambling addiction, and the hope Jesus offers to those who feel trapped by compulsive habits.

What does a biblical worldview of gambling look like, and how can Christians pursue something better than the promise of the next big win?
