First, we know a lot of you are traveling to the 2025 Texas Teen Camp right now. If so, have a safe trip! And if you have loved ones there or just want to know what’s going on, be sure to come back here to the website often and look for new posts or click on “Camp” in the menu. There are already pics there from Adventure Camp (welcome back everyone!)—and thanks, by the way, for the little video you sent of everyone there listening to the podcast! Certainly gave us the warm fuzzies. 🙂
So, check back later and look for camp posts and pics! And you should be able to see pics on LYP social media feeds, as well.
As for the podcast—well, it’s Fourth of July weekend here in the United States, when America celebrates its independence. With that in mind, it seemed fitting to address a question that comes up from time to time: Is patriotism biblical? Are loving one’s country and being a Christian compatible? Join us as we talk about it!

As Israel attacks Iran and the news analysts go into overdrive, the Bible provides key principles that give insight about the current moment and what is prophesied to lie ahead. Don’t cram today’s news into the Bible—instead, let the Bible reveal the meaning behind today’s news. Join us on the podcast as we talk about today’s attack by Israel on Iran’s leadership and nuclear capacities.
In this week’s podcast, we refer to three articles and our previous podcast on watching world affairs with your biblical brain engaged. Here are links:
Finally, it’s almost a crime that we didn’t think to mention Mr. Richard Ames’ classic work on understanding that part of the world in light of Scripture: The Middle East in Prophecy. Click to read it or order a copy for yourself.

God’s word encourages us to watch world events, yet it’s easy to do so in an unhealthy way or in a way that fails to make the prophetic connections. Today, we talk about how to keep your head on straight and think biblically while keeping an eye on world affairs.
We also mention Mr. Richard Ames’ booklet, Understanding Biblical Prophecy, and our Whiteboard video on the Mark of the Beast. Here, above the embeds, are links to both:
