As Joe Rogan continues to delve deeper into his investigation of Christianity, he has made a surprising admission about his view of Scripture and the wider Christian community.

“The Scripture to me is what’s interesting,” says Rogan. “It’s fascinating. Christianity, at least, is the only thing I have experience with. It works.”

He then noted how kindly he had been treated by Christians once he started attending church.

“People that are Christians that go to this church that I go to that I meet that are Christian, they are the nicest….people you will ever meet,” Rogan says. “They’re really kind. And they are even more nice out of church.”

Rogan made the point that, unlike other businesses and institutions, Christians are kind and courteous in ways others are not.

“There’s no one honking in the church parking lot. It works.”

Previously, Rogan announced that he had started attending church and has since followed up, discussing his enjoyment of the services.

“It’s a bunch of people that are trying to make their lives better. They’re trying to be a better person…I’m really interested in what these people were trying to say,” Rogan says.

Rogan even shared the core message of the gospel on his podcast.

“Christianity in particular is most fascinating to me because there’s this one person that everybody agrees existed… and even died in a non-violent way, like didn’t even protest, died on the cross supposedly for our sins.”

As it appears that Rogan’s eyes are continuing to be opened to the truth of the gospel, lift him in prayer that he would see Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the only way to salvation, who loves him and wants to redeem him.

A sobering prophetic warning rang out as Jenny Weaver shared a fiery message that confronted the spiritual condition of today’s church. “We are living in a time where people, I believe, are riding too close to the line,” she began. “My concern is that if we don’t come back to the place of true holiness and righteousness before the Lord, many people are slowly but surely becoming reprobates.”

While many pastors avoid such themes for fear of sounding like “doom and gloom,” her message insisted that warnings are not condemnation—they are mercy. “Anytime you get a warning from the Lord ahead of schedule, it is mercy and it is God’s love for His people,” she said.

Turning to Romans, she pointed out that the apostle Paul had no hesitation in addressing the church with urgency. “When is the last time that you were in churches and you heard pastors warning you about becoming a reprobate?” she asked. “This is a topic that people are staying away from because they don’t want people to think this is a gloom and doom message.”

Her concern: believers who live in darkness while sitting in the sanctuary.

She outlined a progressive pattern that can lead believers toward reprobation. Stage one begins with compromise, stage two with division and strife, and stage three marks a point of no return. “Because of strife, you love to stir up strife. Because of slander, church division, backbiting, jealousy and sowing seeds of rebellion and discord, you’re slipping toward the reprobate,” Weaver said.

She warned that this can happen to anyone: “You can be in a pew, on a worship team, a pastor, apostle, prophet or leader—and still be slipping, slipping, slipping. That’s what I felt the Lord impressing upon me. This is going to scare people, but not in a fear-driven way—I want them to have the fear of the Lord.”

Weaver explained the transformative power of Godly fear: “The fear of the Lord changes everything. You no longer can just do whatever you want. The fear of the Lord comes when you love the Lord.”

Her message was clear: conviction is proof that God is still at work. “If you are beginning to repent right now, if the Holy Spirit is convicting you, you are not a reprobate,” she stressed. “A reprobate person would think this message is foolish and would never be concerned about it.”

Weaver referenced Hebrews 6:4-6, highlighting the danger of complete rejection: “A reprobate is someone who has tasted God’s goodness and the power of the Holy Spirit but chooses to walk away completely, saying, ‘There is no God.’ Only God can identify a reprobate, not us.”

Yet the message was not only a warning but also a message of hope. “If conviction exists, God’s door is still open. If you’re saying in your heart, ‘God, work in me, refine me,’ you are not a reprobate. God is still at work in your life,” Weaver said.

Her final charge was urgent: “We need to buckle down and get serious, church. Stop playing the games. Stop worrying about who gets the mic, who sings, who is chosen. It’s time to examine your heart and commit fully to holiness, righteousness, and the fear of the Lord.”

Weaver’s message serves as both a warning and a call to action: the line between compromise and reprobation may be closer than you think, but the grace and mercy of God remain, calling every believer back to repentance, reverence and wholehearted devotion.

The reality of organ harvesting just got much, much darker.

In a report by the Department of Health and Human Services, it was discovered that some organ transplants were actually from patients who were still alive.

According to Cincinnati’s Local 12 News, HHS found out that “…in some cases, organ procurement began while patients still showed signs of life.”

Not only is this raising alarms with some, but it has effectively made the human life itself no more than a commodity off the shelf.

As Dr. Joseph Varon of the Independent Medical Alliance stated, “The system has allowed the value of a person—of an actual human being—to be reduced to the commercial value of a pair of organs.”

While this may seem like a relatively newer topic to some, it is far from that. Canada has been known for the past couple of years not only for the increase in their assisted suicide MAID program, but also for organ harvesting as well. China also became known for the harvesting of organs of Uyghur Muslims. Organ harvesting isn’t a new phenomenon, and it isn’t going away anytime soon.

Is it possible that mistakes were made in this process, assuming that organs were being taken from someone already deceased? Absolutely. However, organ harvesting is part of a black market, highly lucrative system that has likely found its way into our society, regardless of whether we like it or not. Organs could potentially be used for testing, cloning or any other measure of medical experimentation.

When human life is not treated with the highest regard, it becomes frighteningly easy for darkness to disguise itself as “medical advancement.”

What we are witnessing is not just a medical scandal—it is a spiritual alarm bell. Scripture warns that in the last days, deception will masquerade as enlightenment. As technology pushes boundaries with gene editing, synthetic biology and even the early conversations of cloning, believers must recognize the spiritual battlefield beneath the headlines. This is not merely about policy—it is about the dignity God stamped on every human soul.

As these disturbing revelations unfold, the church must remain discerning, prayerful and unafraid to expose the works of darkness. The lines between life and death are being blurred, and if there was ever a moment to contend for truth, it is now.

As America approaches the 84th anniversary of the brutal Pearl Harbor attack, prophetic voice Amanda Grace is sounding the alarm, asking for the body of Christ to press into prayer during this time.

In a video posted to X, Grace said that the Lord has continually put the words “Pearl Harbor” on her heart for the last couple of weeks.

“Nov. 23 at 9:45 p.m. I heard in my spirit, ‘Pearl Harbor.’ Days prior to hearing it in my spirit, I saw it in my mind and then heard it. So, within a few days’ time, I heard ‘Pearl Harbor’ twice.”

Not only did Grace say she has spiritually heard this phrase a few times now, but the upcoming anniversary of this date on Dec. 7 holds extreme prophetic significance.

“Pearl Harbor happened Dec. 7, 1941. It occurred 84 years ago. We are in a year of reversals. The reversal of 84 is 48, which happens to be the next presidency,” says Grace. “We need to intercede and pray for that week of December 7. I’m telling you now, I started hearing this Nov. 23, just days prior to what happened, the attack in the Capitol in Washington, D.C. on the National Guard. I started hearing ‘Pearl Harbor.'”

A warning! Pearl Harbor the week of December 7th Pray to thwart Attacks!https://t.co/X923lgz3Tu

Ultimately, Grace says that whatever the enemy plots and plans, we as Christians must intercede and pray against it right now.

“We need to intercede and pray for that week, Dec. 7, that what’s being plotted is exposed and dismantled before it accomplishes the crisis it wants to in the nation.”

During this time, lift up America in prayer for God’s divine protection and purposes. When the Church presses together in prayer, even the darkest of agendas have no choice but to bow to the name of Jesus.

December is set to be a time of fantastic celestial events, with both astronomical and spiritual significance, according to Pastor Troy Brewer.

As Brewer noted, the month is set to begin with a full moon supermoon on Thursday, Dec. 4, the last of three for the year. Brewer described it as “a nightlight” that will blind observers with its brilliance, providing a visual reminder of God’s handiwork in creation.

Brewer also discussed how Dec. 7 is significant both historically and astronomically. It marks the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, which Brewer called “a day of infamy.” However, it is also when Mercury will hit its greatest western elongation, appearing closest to the sun and visible before sunrise. “It is all about God speaking something.” Observers are encouraged to look toward the eastern sky just before dawn to catch a glimpse of the planet.

Mid-month, the Geminids meteor shower is expected to peak on the night of Dec. 13 and the morning of Dec. 14. The shower, which radiates from the constellation Gemini, can produce up to 120 multi-colored meteors per hour. Brewer called it “the king of the meteor showers” and noted the spiritual symbolism in the constellation: “When we see Him, we will be like Him. His holiness becomes our holiness. His righteousness becomes our righteousness.”

Other notable celestial signs include a new moon on Dec. 20, which provides optimal viewing conditions for faint objects such as Orion’s sword, a galaxy visible even to the naked eye. The winter solstice will occur on Dec. 21, marking the shortest day in the Northern Hemisphere, and coinciding with the Ursids meteor shower, which radiates from Ursa Minor.

As December unfolds, these celestial events offer more than just a spectacular show—they serve as a reminder of God’s presence and purpose in the world. God is inviting us to witness his glory firsthand through these remarkable signs and wonders.

Every December, Christians become divided about the same subject: Is Christmas a celebration of Jesus or is it pagan?

In a captivating video, Pastor Vlad Savchuk explains the facts behind this highly contested debate.

1. Christmas Means “Christ’s Mass”

“The word ‘Christmas’ simply means Christ’s Mass. It’s literally a celebration of Jesus Christ,” Savchuk says.

While some point to bells, candles and greenery as “pagan,” these things are neutral. Objects themselves aren’t evil; what matters is how we use them. Christians can redeem symbols for worship, remembrance and celebration.

2. Origins Don’t Define Meaning

Just because a non-Christian created something or used an item first does not make that item itself bad.

“If we say pagans used something, therefore Christians cannot use it, then we also must get rid of homes, music, candles, weddings, birthdays, calendars, and actually every day of the week… The origin of a symbol does not determine its meaning today. Current usage does,” he notes.

3. December 25 Was Chosen for Theology, Not Paganism

“Early Christians chose Dec. 25 because they believed that Jesus was conceived on March 25… add nine months to March 25. You have Dec. 25.”

These early Christians connected Jesus’ birth to theology, not pagan festivals like Saturnalia. Pagan celebrations gravitated toward December 25 as Christianity grew, contrary to what most people believe.

4. Early Christians Didn’t Celebrate Births

Savchuk noted that Christians began celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ to make the point that He was both fully God and fully man.

“The early church focused more on the death of believers than on their birth… By the 4th century, there were false teachers that claimed Jesus was not fully God. And the church started to emphasize Jesus’ birth, that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John chapter 1).” Christmas grew as a witness to God’s miraculous plan.

5. You’re Celebrating an Event, Not a Date

Ultimately, we are not celebrating the date of Dec. 25; instead, we are focused on the fulfillment of God’s promise to His people through the birth of the Messiah.

“You’re not celebrating a date. You are celebrating an event… Jesus’s birth was miraculous. It was prophesied about. It was announced by angels. It was witnessed by shepherds. It was worshiped by wise men.” The exact date we use to celebrate Jesus’ birth is secondary; the focus is the miracle of the Savior entering our world.

6. The Bible Doesn’t Command or Forbid Christmas

“The Bible also does not forbid Christians from celebrating Jesus’s birth. Romans chapter 14:5-8… One person esteems one day above another; let each person be fully convinced in his own mind. Whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.”

Observing a day isn’t sinful; neglecting a day isn’t holiness. The point is that we must honor God in everything we do.

7. Commercialization Doesn’t Make It Evil

Just because the world has made Christmas into something it is not does not inherently make it evil.

“Yes, the world has hijacked something that is sacred… The world uses marriage in very sinful ways. The world misuses music. The world twists sexuality. The world abuses drinks and food. Does it stop us from using those things? Absolutely not… if in the mall, in coffee shops, you hear about the birth of the Savior, why not use this opportunity to point people to the Savior?” Savchuk says.

8. Christmas Trees Are Not Demonic

While some fear that Christmas trees are demonic, this is not true. We do not worship the tree. Instead, it is placed as a reminder of how Christ came into the world.

“Jeremiah chapter 10 is about carving an idol from wood. It’s about shaping it with tools, decorating it with silver and gold, and worshiping it as God. That’s not what people do with Christmas trees… Christmas trees are believed to have begun in Germany among Christians in the 1500s. They used a star to remember the Star of Bethlehem, an angel to remember angels, and the lights to remember Jesus as the Light of the world,” Savchuk says.

9. Santa Claus Is Not the Enemy

“Santa Claus today is a mixture of old European legends, American marketing and probably a real story of St. Nicholas, a generous Christian bishop… Of course, it got hijacked by the marketing today. And many people believe in Santa giving them gifts instead of Christ being the gift of God who was born.” This, however, does not mean that there is anything demonic behind Santa.

10. Freedom, Unity and Worship Matter Most

If someone does or does not want to celebrate the holiday, that is their choice and we are to leave it up to them to do what they believe is best.

“If your conscience allows you, celebrate it to the glory of God. If your conscience bothers you, don’t celebrate it. But also, don’t judge others. Observing a day doesn’t make you holy. Not observing a day doesn’t make you more holy. Only Jesus makes you holy.”

Whether you celebrate or abstain, the heart of Christmas remains the same: It is about Jesus Christ, God incarnate, stepping into our world to save us.

As we wrap up 2025, we begin to see rankings of the best and worst events of the year. However, not only was 2025 a year of tremendous cultural and political happenings, but it was also the year when territorial darkness was exposed.

In a report by WalletHub, the “Most Sinful Cities in America” were listed as the following:

1. Las Vegas, NV
2. Houston, TX
3. Los Angeles, CA
4. Philadelphia, PA
5. Atlanta, GA
6. Denver, CO
7. Miami, FL
8. Dallas, TX
9. Phoenix, AZ
10. New Orleans, LA

While Las Vegas is typically thought of as “Sin City,” some of these other locations are surprisingly common, given that millions of regular citizens live in them.

According to WalletHub, Las Vegas continues to take the number one spot as it “has the second-most casinos per capita, driving many people to lose their money in a failed quest for quick riches and creating the fourth-highest share of residents with gambling problems.”

Along with the gambling, Vegas also houses some of the highest rates of adult entertainment in the nation, as well as fraud and identity issues.

Houston comes after Vegas, largely due also to its industry of lust and that “Houston’s residents struggle with anger and hatred,” having a shockingly high number of mass shootings. Los Angeles also has the “eighth-most mass shootings between January 2023 and June 2025.”

As believers, we should not look at this list with shock alone, but with discernment. Scripture reminds us that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world” (Eph. 6:12).

These rankings do more than expose cultural patterns—they reveal the spiritual battles raging over our cities. Where sin abounds, darkness seeks to take territory, but the Word of God assures us that grace abounds all the more (Rom. 5:20). No city, no community and no person is beyond the reach of the gospel or the transforming power of Christ.

As we step into a new year, this is a call not to fear, but to intercede. Instead of writing these cities off as lost, the Church must rise as light-bearers and watchmen. The darker the night, the brighter the light of Christ shines—and now is the time for that light to pierce every corner of America.

Pope Leo continues to stir up controversy everywhere he goes.

At the end of November, Pope Leo traveled to Turkey to visit the Blue Mosque. As News Nation put it, one of the primary purposes of this trip was to encourage “Christian unity and interfaith dialogue.” The Pope also went to celebrate the “1,700th anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea.”

During this visit, the Pope went into the Blue Mosque where he took off his shoes, but did not pray with the imam at the mosque. However, this interfaith visit isn’t the only recent act by Leo that is somewhat controversial.

According to Newsweek, Leo has also given his stance on Israel and Palestine, calling for a two-state solution.

“We know that in this moment, Israel doesn’t accept this solution, but we see it as the only one that can offer a solution to the conflict that they are living in,” the pope reportedly said. “We are also friends with Israel, and we try with both sides to be a mediating voice that can help bring them closer to a solution with justice for all.”

To the outside world, Leo’s statements may seem rooted in fairness for all, but they are really the abandonment of biblical principles. There really is no such thing as “interfaith.” There is only one way to heaven, only One who can redeem, and His name is Jesus. There is also no biblical “two-state solution.” Biblically, the land belongs to God’s chosen people, the Jews, and there is no changing of His mind.

In moments like these, when global spiritual leaders blur the lines of truth in the name of unity or diplomacy, believers must anchor themselves not in opinion but in the unchanging Word of God. Scripture leaves no room for an “interfaith path” to salvation. God’s Word remains the final authority, and it is the anchor by which all teachings and actions must be measured.

While the pope may seek political bridges, the Bible presents a far clearer picture: salvation comes only through Jesus, and God’s covenant with Israel stands forever. These are not negotiable truths. As we rush closer to the very end of history, Christians must stay on guard, making sure that no one deceives them, including the pope.

In this hour, Christians must remain vigilant, discerning and rooted in the Word of God, boldly proclaiming the truth even as culture shifts around us. God’s Word has not changed, and neither should our confidence in it.

A Florida church has been shaken to its core after the tragic death of its executive pastor.

In a post on Facebook from Nov. 26, West Palm Beach’s Journey Church shared the heartbreaking news that Pastor Joshua Rene passed away.

As a church community, we are heartbroken over the loss [of] our beloved Pastor Josh. Please pray with us for the Rene family…

As The Christian Post reported, Rene, 39, died in a motorcycle crash last week. He was a father to four children and was widely loved by his church community. Lead pastor Scott Baugh shared a video on social media, discussing the way Rene’s death has badly hit the congregation.

“I know, like so many of us, I’m hurting, and you’re hurting,” Baugh said. “When we found out that Pastor Josh was killed in that accident…it just doesn’t feel real…He was an amazing pastor, but to me, he was just Josh. He was a friend as close as a brother to me for 10 years.”

Baugh also said while Rene was a fantastic pastor, he was “even more special off that platform or stage.”

During the latest Sunday morning service, Baugh said that: “Josh didn’t live for this world alone. Josh is in the presence of Jesus right now.” He then spoke to Rene’s family and promised that Journey would come behind them and support them.

“We’re going to be there for you and your kids. We’re going to be there financially,” Baugh said.

During this time, lift up the Rene family and Journey Church in prayer as they grieve over this tremendous loss.

The president is asking Americans to join together in prayer for wounded National Guard member Andrew Wolfe.

According to Fox News, Trump said that over the weekend, he communicated with the families of Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe, two members of the National Guard who were shot in Washington, D.C., in the middle of last week. Beckstrom died from the shooting, and Wolfe is currently “fighting for his life.”

Trump spoke with various news outlets on Air Force One, where he said that: “Andrew is fighting for his life, and his parents are unbelievably great people, highly religious people.” He also noted the family’s request that “They’re praying, and they want everybody to pray for Andrew, and he has a chance to make it.”

The president also discussed how he plans to honor Sarah and Andrew, regardless of whether Andrew survives.

The believed shooter is 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who is from Afghanistan.

As Americans witnessed this tragedy, this is the time to unite in prayer, for both Andrew’s recovery and for Sarah’s family during this time of immense grief.
