#143 Peace in the Middle East & the Battle for Life
Description
Joel Settecase breaks down two major stories through a biblical worldview:
1️⃣ Trump ends the Israel–Hamas war and frees the hostages.
2️⃣ Phil Vischer (VeggieTales) dodges the question: Is abortion ever justified?
From geopolitics to morality, Scripture speaks clearly to peace, justice, and the value of every human life.

Bible: Exodus 21:22 –25; Psalm 139:13 –14; Psalm 51:5
Takeaway: Life begins at conception. Abortion is intentional killing—murder in God’s eyes.
Final Thought: Whether peace in the Middle East or life in the womb, every issue finds clarity in Scripture. Understand the Word. Believe it. Live it.
