In this week’s episode, we’re unpacking some of the biggest hot topics right now—Netflix’s K-Pop Demon Hunters, Charlie Kirk’s legacy, and the latest rapture predictions.

At the end of the day, what we do with that free will matters—and it points us back to God as the ultimate standard of truth. But here’s the real question: Are you ready for heaven? And if you knew your time was short, a...
