About this episode
The episode discusses the ongoing conflict with Iran, the release of UFO files, and the implications for evangelical pastors.
OK, that title is clickbait. But it does relate to the biggest stories of the week: The ongoing conflict with Iran and the release of government UFO files. We discuss President Trump’s quiet squeeze play on Iran, cutting off its access to a shadow banking system the regime has been using to finance missiles, mercenaries, and proxies on Israel’s borders like Hezbollah and Hamas. We also explain why these moves are squeezing China, which will undoubtedly be a topic of discussion when President Trump meets with China’s President Xi this week. The other big story (or distraction, depending on your point of view) this week was the dump of UFO files at war.gov/ufo . News of a pair of meetings earlier this year between an independent UFO research group and evangelical pastors and teachers went viral after Perry Stone released a video about them. As expected, details were twisted and blown out of proportion. Bottom line: Nothing in the released files thus far proves the existence of ETs, and pastors need to be prepared to address this topic with their congregations—because New Agers, occultists, atheists, and UFO true believers are more than happy to offer their own explanations…
