About this episode

This episode discusses the shifting global order and its implications for followers of Jesus amidst political upheaval.

January felt like a decade—and the world order may have just shifted. In this episode of Rebuilders , we unpack the extraordinary global developments that marked the start of 2026. From the dramatic ICE raids in Minnesota, to Trump’s military strike in Venezuela, to rising tensions in Iran and the eerie blackout in Greenland—this month has signalled more than just upheaval. It reveals a deep, global redefinition of how power works . Mark explores how the old world order—shaped by institutions, norms, and restraint—is giving way to a new one marked by raw assertion, norm-breaking, and unfiltered authority. What does it mean when the usual checks and balances no longer apply? And how should followers of Jesus respond in a world that feels increasingly disorienting? If you’ve felt overwhelmed, confused, or powerless lately, this conversation will bring clarity—and hope. 👉 Get the full list of books referenced and join our mailing list at rebuilders.co
