Republicans flee Congress as the Epstein news continues to rampage through the Trump Administration.Timestamp: (16:11).

Each week, I cover hot spots and critical threats that might affect our country, as well as keep you informed about our military. I end each show by sharing some Biblical wisdom (without being too pushy). My hope is you end each show better informed, less worried, and more optimistic (about both our country and your life).

And is this Putin’s secret (and only) strategy at this point?Can we avoid a more-peaceful path forward with China?Let’s end with some notes on faithAs you know, if you want true peace, I believe you should look to God and the Bible for that — not a country, not a party, and certainly not a person. I believe that not only can God give you ever-lasting life, but that He can also give you peace in this life. God is like a good shepherd. He leads you by the still waters. He restores your soul. He guides you out of the death and destruction of sin. If you know nothing about the Bible, but want to test the waters and maybe try it out, check out my resource page here.By the way, if you’re dealing with depression, PTSD, or thoughts of suicide, I have a link I’d like you to check out. In fact, it’s an entire page long. A pep talk, if you will, that I believe will help. I also have listed a hotline that you can call, whether you’re a service member or just a civilian. Here’s the page: PTSD. This week’s theme is on confidence. I wanted to share three verses regarding confidence:* I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. — PHILIPPIANS 4:13 NLT* Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress...For You have been my hope, Sovereign LORD, my confidence since my youth. — PSALM 71:3, 5 NIV* Do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. — HEBREWS 10:35 NCVReminder: If you know nothing about the Bible, but want to read some of it for the first time in a while (or maybe ever), check out my resource page here. I know it’s a big book that can seem overwhelming, but that link can help you. And yes, you can read it from a phone, computer, laptop, etc. (See my link above.)I also have a podcast that focuses solely on faith called The Search for God. You can find it below. Love my moderate, optimistic view of politics and want to know more about how I see things? Go here:I always like to end with an important reminder, whether you’re a Christian or not. And with that, thanks for joining us this week on The View from the Front.If you can, consider at some point becoming a paid subscriber. ...
