Welcome to Episode Six of the More Life Podcast, a faith-centered conversation created by Breath of Life Seventh-day Adventist Church in Fort Washington, MD.

In this episode, host Pastor Alexis Myers is joined by special guests Dr. Colby Matlock Sr., Senior Pastor of Breath of Life SDA Church, and Dean Christopher Banks, an expert in Middle Eastern affairs, for an important conversation about prophecy, current events, and how Christians should respond to global conflict.

With headlines constantly focused on Israel, Iran, and conflict in the Middle East, many believers are asking difficult questions: Are we living in the end times? How should we interpret what we’re seeing? And how do we remain spiritually grounded without falling into fear or speculation?

Together, this episode explores the difference between biblical discernment and sensationalism, the historical realities behind current conflicts, and why believers must keep Christ—not headlines—at the center of their faith.

This conversation is thoughtful, timely, and a reminder that while prophecy matters, fear should never drive our faith.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

• How Christians should interpret global conflict through a biblical lens
• The difference between discernment and sensationalism
• Historical context behind conflict in the Middle East
• Why fear-based prophecy conversations can be harmful
• How believers can remain watchful, prayerful, and centered on Christ
